2020 NFL mock draft: Saints take Joe Burrow
By Brad Weiss
The Tennessee Titans suffered a bad loss on Thursday night, as division rival Jacksonville went into their stadium and beat them in front of the home crowd. The Jaguars defense was fired up, causing Marcus Mariota to look extremely pedestrian, and it is anybody’s guess as to whether or not he is still the answer in Tennessee.
The Titans brought in Ryan Tannehill this offseason to backup Mariota, and fans are clamoring to get a look at him already. If the team does decide that Mariota is still their guy, they need to get him more weapons, and Laviska Shenault Jr. is one of the more explosive wide receivers in college football.
Tennessee used a first round pick on Corey Davis a few years back, and he has not panned out as a true WR1 at the NFL level just yet. Shenault is a guy who plays with a huge chip on his shoulder, and can hurt you in so many ways, and right now, the Titans just do not have that kind of playmaker on their roster.
The Cleveland Browns came into the 2019 NFL season with plenty of eyes on them, and they have been given the elite treatment, already being placed on national television twice. In both of those games, the Browns have come away looking like they have more questions than answers, beating a bad New York Jets team, and then losing to a Super Bowl contender in the Los Angeles Rams.
The bottom line is, the Browns have way too much talent to not be a contender in the AFC this season, but they have to get this ship righted in a hurry. As it stands, they would be finishing up outside of the AFC playoff picture, which is certainly not where they expected to be after bringing in so much talent this offseason.
If the Browns do continue to struggle, and are picking in the first half of the first round, they have to target an offensive lineman, and Walker Little would be a tremendous add to this offensive line. The Browns are just not that strong up front on offense, and in Little, they could bring in a Day one starter at the left tackle position.
