2017 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterbacks rule all
By Brad Weiss
Incredibly, the Tennessee Titans will have two draft picks in the first 15 picks of the first round if the season ended today, though that will change if they win the AFC South. Still, they will get to add two quality players to a roster that is already trending towards being one of the best in the AFC for years to come. They are a fun team to watch, and while they should definitely get a playmaker with their high pick, adding to their defense will be a priority later in round one.
Cornerback Jason McCourty is a solid player, but he needs help at the position. The Titans will have the option of a ton of good defensive backs in this draft, but Marlon Humphrey should be one that is off the board fairly quickly in April. Humphrey is the kind of defensive back that strikes fear into the hearts of quarterbacks, and he would definitely be a CB1 on most rosters next season.
The thing with Humphrey is his pedigree, as he is the son of a former NFL running back. He plays with the kind of passion you would expect from a player’s son, and has had to play under incredible pressure at the University of Alabama. He is going to be a fantastic player at the next level, and would give the Titans another good DB to go against a guy like Andrew Luck twice a season.
