Round 4 – Pick 121

Antoine Wesley, WR, Texas Tech

An area where Tennessee has seemingly struggled for years now is in the passing game. Marcus Mariota’s inconsistency and health issues aside, the team has been upgrading it’s receiving corps and there are some pieces to get excited about. Former top five pick Corey Davis looked healthy last year and dominant at times. His running mates Tajae Sharp and Taywan Taylor have defined roles that if they reach the potential could pan out as solid starters. There is still room to add another playmaker as a receiver for Tennessee.

Again, the Titans are lucky that this jam packed receiver class could provide them with a steal in round four. That comes in the form of Texas Tech’s Antoine Wesley. Wesley would give Tennessee a big missing piece in their offense, literally. The other three receivers named are between 5-foot-11 and 6-foot-1. Wesley would tower them all at 6-foot-5.

A man that is that tall should not be able to move like Wesley has shown in his one year of starting at Texas Tech. Wesley may not be a burner but he showed an unbelievable catch radius and contested catch ability last season. For an inconsistent quarterback who struggles with accuracy like Mariota, that would be a welcome addition. Wesley’s presence could also open up the field for Davis, tight end Delanie Walker and the underneath routes run by Taylor and Sharp.

The team could swap Wesley for a tight end here to prepare for life after Delanie Walker. I think Walker has some gas left in the tank but a replacement should be found either this year or next with him being 34 and past injury history.
