Wide Receiver. Tennessee Titans. Rashod Bateman. 19. player. 35.

The Tennessee Titans already have a WR1 in A.J. Brown, who has dominated at the NFL level since his rookie season a year ago. While Corey Davis is an OK player, he is not the kind of WR2 this team needs if they are going to take the next step in terms of getting to a Super Bowl.

Enter Rashod Bateman, a dynamic wide receiver from Minnesota who would be a perfect compliment to the physical specimen that is A.J. Brown. Ryan Tannehill has shown he is a franchise quarterback running this offense, and Bateman could be the last piece of the puzzle on offense.

Offensive Lineman. Arizona Cardinals. Creed Humphrey. 20. player. 32.

The Arizona Cardinals have their franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray, who is still finding his groove with his new No. 1 target, DeAndre Hopkins. In Murray, they have the kind of player they can build their roster around, and he has already helped turn the franchise around in the right direction.

Looking at their roster, they need more help in the interior of their offensive line, and Creed Humphrey played with Murray during their time at Oklahoma. He can play guard and center, and if the Cardinals want to keep moving in the right direction, protecting Murray is the top priority.

. Cornerback. Jacksonville Jaguars. Shaun Wade. 21. player. 52

The Jacksonville Jaguars will pick twice thanks to the Jalen Ramsey trade from a year ago, and after getting better on offense early in round one, they add to the cornerback room with the Los Angeles Rams pick. In this draft class, few players are as good as Shaun Wade at the position group, and he comes in and starts alongside C.J. Henderson.

Jacksonville has actually looked pretty solid throughout the 2020 season, and if they continue to play well, these two first round picks could be in the second half. If they can add Wade to their young secondary, he can help fill the void left by the Pro Bowler Jalen Ramsey.
