Tennessee Titans. Jake Fromm. 15. player. 35. . Quarterback

Heading into their Week 7 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, the Tennessee Titans decided that it was time to move on from former No. 2 overall pick, Marcus Mariota. The Titans made the move in favor of Ryan Tannehill, a former first round pick as well, who led Tennessee to a victory over the Chargers in his starting debut on Sunday.

While Tannehill did a nice job on Sunday, there is no way that the Titans do not seriously look at a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft. Sitting at No. 15 overall, they could be in line to snatch a player like Jake Fromm, who has long been considered a first round talent, and could come in and fight for the job as a rookie.

Tennessee does have a lot of holes on their roster, but this is the NFL, and you are only as good as your starting quarterback. The Mariota Era is definitely over in Tennessee, and Tannehill will get a chance to earn the job moving forward, but a guy like Fromm could be that long-term solution that this team has been waiting for.

Tee Higgins. 16. player. 28. . Wide Receiver. Las Vegas Raiders

With their first of two first round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Raiders will have to address one of their weaker positions on the roster. During the 2019 season, the Raiders have been trotting out a very thin wide receiver group, and while Derek Carr has performed well with the unit, he needs more help moving forward.

Of course, all of this would have been avoided if Antonio Brown actually played for the team this season, but that is neither here or there. With their first pick as the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020, the Silver and Black should look to bring in a player like Tee Higgins, who is a playmaking talent for the Clemson Tigers.

Last year, the Raiders dipped into the Clemson pool on numerous occasions, including bringing in wide receiver Hunter Renfrow in the fifth round. Higgins is a guy who has WR1 written all over him, and you know an offensive genius like Jon Gruden would like nothing more than to have that kind of talent on the outside.
