Corey Davis

WR, Western Michigan

With their second pick in the first round, the Tennessee Titans will likely look to bolster their wide receiver position. Marcus Mariota established himself as one of the better young quarterbacks in the game this past season, all the while doing it with no real WR1 on the roster. Bringing in someone via the draft is going to be a priority, and they have the luxury of filling two big holes on day one come next April.

The Western Michigan Broncos nearly pulled off an undefeated season in 2016, but ended up losing to the Wisconsin Badgers in the Cotton Bowl. Still, senior wideout Corey Davis showed why his considered one of the best wide receivers in college football, and will certainly hear his name called in the first round of the NFL Draft. The Titans need to bring in the kind of receiver that Mariota can rely on in big spots, and Davis is that kind of talent.

Tennessee has a great opportunity to be good for a long time, as they have incredible young talent at key positions. The AFC South is a very winnable division, and being able to add two first round picks after having an incredibly solid season in 2017 has to put them in position to possibly be a favorite next year. Davis is going to be a difference maker at the next level, and if he lands in Tennessee, he will have one of the best quarterback in the AFC throwing the ball to him.
