Corey Davis

WR, Western Michigan

For the Tennessee Titans, they have to be happy with where their franchise is headed. They have an incredible young quarterback in place, some solid players on the defensive side of the ball, and the two-headed monster of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry at running back is quite a tandem. The only thing really missing from their offense is a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver, which they should look to select in next April’s draft.

Western Michigan went on an incredible run this past season, as they nearly ran the table. While an undefeated season was not in the cards, one player established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the country, as Corey Davis was as explosive as they come at that position. He is going to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, and he would be perfect for the Titans at No. 18.

Mariota was good enough to make due with his wide receivers this past season, but the team needs to give him a real WR1 if they want him to continue his development. Davis has the ability to beat people deep, and his route-running skills are second to none in this draft. The Titans are very close to being a playoff team, and bringing in a guy like Davis could be a final piece to the puzzle.
