2020 NFL mock draft: Detroit Lions select Tua Tagovailoa
By Brad Weiss
Cornerback. Tennessee Titans. CJ Henderson. 29. player. 35.
The Tennessee Titans were the Cinderella Story in the AFC this season, as it took a mid-season swap at quarterback to get this franchise headed in the right direction. Ryan Tannehill took over for Marcus Mariota and led this team to the AFC Championship Game, although he got a lot of help along the way from running back Derrick Henry.
As they enter the 2020 offseason, both Tannehill and Henry are free agents, so that is definitely something to keep an eye on. On the defensive side of the ball, the Titans should look to utilize their first round pick in 2020 on the cornerback position, bringing in C.J. Henderson from Florida, who could start right away on this defense.
The Titans head coach, Mike Vrabel, is a former defensive player for the New England Patriots, and he had this Titans defense playing solid football last season. Henderson adds incredible talent to the cornerback room, and if the Titans are going to return to the playoffs next season, they have holes to fill, and one can be filled here.
player. 49. . Wide Receiver. Green Bay Packers. Jalen Reagor. 30
The Green Bay Packers offense and defense looked lost against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game two weeks ago, as they were outplayed on both sides of the ball. The expectations for the Packers were high heading into the 2019 season, as they had a healthy Aaron Rodgers, and a change at head coach, and overall, you have to think it was a solid first season together for the two.
Heading into Year No. 2 of this marriage, the Packers have to go out and get Rodgers some more talent at the wide receiver position, as Davante Adams cannot do it all along. Adams is a special talent, there is no debating that, but adding a speedster like Jalen Reagor in the first round this April would help open up his game even more.
Outside of the NFC title game, the Packers defense was better than expected this season, and more weapons on offense should lead to Green Bay getting back to the top of the NFC North in 2020. They have a small window left with Rodgers as their quarterback, and you have to think he will come back hungrier than ever after barely missing out on his second Super Bowl this season.
