Corey Davis

WR, Western Michigan

Marcus Mariota had an incredible second season as the quarterback in Tennessee, as he nearly led his Titans to a playoff spot. While the season ended with him breaking his leg in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there is not doubt that this franchise is headed in the right direction. Mariota was able to do some incredible things this past season despite the fact that he was a bit weak at wide receiever, so the team should look to add to their depth there in April.

Corey Davis was a breakout star of the 2016 college football season, as he nearly led his Western Michigan Broncos to an undefeated season. While the season ended with a loss to Wisconsin in the BRoncos bowl game, Davis showed that he can produce against one of the best defenses in the Big Ten. He is going to be a great player at the next level, and the Titans need a true WR1 if Mariota is going to take the next step.

The AFC South is a very winnable division, and the Titans have the talent on both sides of the ball to make a serious run next season. Mariota is expected to be back healthy in time for the preseason, so it is very important they get him the kind of weapons he needs during the draft. The Titans are set at tight end and running back, so one more solid wideout will make them a very dangerous team on offense next season.
