player. 35. . Cornerback. Tennessee Titans. A.J. Terrell. 29

The Tennessee Titans are going to be one of the key teams to keep an eye on in terms of the free agency period, as they appear to be one of the front-runners for quarterback Tom Brady. Brady was a teammate of Titans head coach Mike Vrabel in New England, and the Titans were one win away from a Super Bowl last season.

Outside of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry on offense, their two biggest free agents, one other big name from the other side of the ball is slated to hit free agency. Logan Ryan is likely gone from the Titans, and if he does leave, they can grab his replacement with the No. 29 overall pick in the first round this April.

A.J. Terrell is not mocked in many first rounds around the web, but he is a guy who could sneak into the bottom of the first, and become a Year 1 starter at the NFL level. He was a big reason why the Clemson defenses have been so good over the past few seasons, and in Tennessee, he would slide right into the void left by Ryan.

49. . Wide Receiver. Green Bay Packers. Laviska Shenault Jr.. 30. player

The Green Bay Packers were one win away from the Super Bowl this past season, but with Aaron Rodgers not getting any younger, they have to improve this roster this offseason to take the next step forward. First-year head coach Matt LaFleur did a nice job last season for the Pack, but if he wants to get the most out of his veteran quarterback, he has to get him some weapons.

Davante Adams is a solid NFL wide receiver, and most teams would be happy to have him as their WR1. Unfortunately for the Packers, he does not have elite talent around him, so it would make sense that they use one of the final picks in the first round on a guy who, if healthy, could be a top-4 wide receiver in this very deep class.

Laviska Shenault Jr. can hurt you in so many ways on a football field, whether he is running the ball, returning kicks, or lining up on the outside at wideout. For the Packers, he would be a welcome addition to an offense lacking multiple weapons on the outside, and it also would not hurt to appease Rodgers.
