NFL Mock Draft: Week 16
By Brad Weiss
The Tennessee Titans need a star wide receiver on their team, and they will likely pick one with the draft pick they got from the Los Angeles Rams before last year’s draft. With their second pick in round one, they should look to improve in the secondary, as it has been a weak spot for some time now. While Jason McCourty is a solid player at the cornerback position, they need someone on the other side, and this draft has a bunch of talented players at the position.
Washington has one of the better cornerbacks in the league, as Sidney Jones is a shutdown guy who can take away half of the field. Playing in a very tough Pac-12 this season, Jones always covered the opponent’s number one wide receiver, and he won the battle nine times out of ten. He has the size and speed to play at the next level, and would instantly improve a Titans unit that has to deal with some tough quarterbacks every week in the AFC South.
Tennessee is not far off from being a legitimate contender in the AFC, and if they can beat the Texans at the end of the season, they could actually win their division this year. Marcus Mariota has become a star, and their two-headed monster of Derrick Henry and DeMarco Murray in the backfield is arguably the best in the business. If they improve their defensive secondary next April, this team is going to be good for a very long time.
