2020 NFL Mock Draft: Bengals, Dolphins land franchise quarterbacks
The Tennessee Titans have been a very average team for the past few years, consistently in the hunt for a playoff spot but never a real threat to go deep in the postseason. Quarterback play has been the issue for Tennessee, with one-time franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota losing his job for good earlier this season, with Miami castoff Ryan Tannehill doing a solid job running the offense at the moment.
Tannehill could be a perfect bridge to Tennessee’s next franchise quarterback, which we project here to be Georgia’s Jake Fromm. The junior may not have as much pure physical talent as other passers on this list, but Fromm possesses incredible accuracy and mechanics, making him a good fit for a Titans’ offense that values those kinds of qualities in its quarterback.
This is the second first-round pick for Jacksonville, which used its first in this mock to add a big time playmaker for its offense in CeeDee Lamb. The board isn’t exactly a perfect fit for the Jaguars’ needs here, so it wouldn’t be a shock to see them trade back, but if they stay put a guy to watch could be LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton.
Jacksonville has a big hole in the secondary after granting Jalen Ramsey his wish and sending him off to Los Angeles, and Fulton can be a part of the solution to fill it. No one is expecting Fulton to truly replace Ramsey, but he has a solid frame and can be coached into a solid starter in this league.
