35. . Cornerback. Tennessee Titans. Trevon Diggs. 29. player

The Titans were one of the biggest stories in the AFC this season, as they made the move to Ryan Tannehill at quarterback and then went on to be one of the better teams in the conference. The Titans not only punched their ticket to the playoffs in Week 17, earning the No. 6 seed, but they then ran through the best of the best, beating the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens on the road in the playoffs.

Of course, their magical season ended in Kansas City, and now they face an offseason of uncertainty, as they have to lock up Tannehill and star running back Derrick Henry to new deals. On the other side of the ball, they have to deal with Logan Ryan entering free agency, though they could find his replacement late in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Trevon Diggs is one of the better cornerbacks in this draft class, and enters the NFL with a pro pedigree, as he is the younger brother of Minnesota Vikings star wideout Stefon Diggs. The Titans have an outstanding defensive-minded head coach in Mike Vrabel, so it would not surprise if they go defense in round one in 2020, and Diggs could be here for the taking this late.

player. 49. . Wide Receiver. Green Bay Packers. Justin Jefferson. 30

The Green Bay Packers have to get Aaron Rodgers some weapons this offseason, as Davante Adams cannot continue to do it all by himself. Sure, guys like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard are solid players, but this team needs another legitimate playmaker to take some of the pressure off of Rodgers.

Justin Jefferson proved during the National Championship Game he can be such a player for the Packers, and should be available here. The draft class is loaded with wide receiver talent, but in Jefferson, the Packers would be getting a guy who can have an immediate impact in Year 1.

Green Bay has enough talent on both sides of the ball to make it back to the NFC title game in 2020, and Jefferson would be a nice start to adding the pieces needed to get back to the Super Bowl. Rodgers has good years left in the tank, and the Packers defense is finally good, so a second title may be on the horizon.
