Georgia. Jake Fromm. 9. player. 35. . Quarterback

There is no doubt that the Tennessee Titans are not completely sold on Marcus Mariota as their franchise quarterback, especially after the team brought in Ryan Tannehill this offseason. If Mariota struggles in 2019, the team now has a solid back-up plan, and the expectation is Tannehill will see the field eventually this season.

When it comes time for the Titans to pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, they could be in the top-10, as they have a very tough schedule, as well as a packed division. Even with Andrew Luck retiring, the Titans are the fourth-best team in the AFC South, and if they do end up in the cellar of the division, look for them to make a move at quarterback.

That would mean the Titans would be in the market for one of the top quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft, and Jake Fromm certainly fits that bill. He is the prototypical NFL quarterback, thanks to his ability to stand in the pocket and deliver throws downfield, and if Tannehill or Mariota are not the guy in Tennessee, this Georgia product could be him.

Jacob Eason. 10. player. 48. . Quarterback. Washington

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new sheriff in town, as Dirk Koetter was replaced by Bruce Arians this offseason. Arians, who was one of the better head coaches in football during his time with the Arizona Cardinals, has a huge reclamation project on his hands in starting quarterback Jameis Winston.

Since taking Winston No. 1 overall, the Buccaneers have not had the kind of success they had hoped for, and it may be time to turn the page. The 2020 NFL Draft class has some solid signal-callers, including Jacob Eason, who was replaced by No. 9 selection Jake Fromm at Georgia, and is now with the Washington Huskies.

If the marriage between Arians and Winston is a good one, then they could go another route with this pick, but that remains to be seen. Winston has all the tools to be a legitimate franchise quarterback in this league, but if he falters with his new head coach, Eason could be a target in the top-10 next April.
