The Tennessee Titans head into this offseason with a lot of questions surrounding their roster that need to be answered over the coming months.
As always, the NFL draft is undoubtedly going to be one of the biggest dates on the offseason calendar. When it comes to Tennessee’s No. 11 overall pick, everyone has their own opinion as to which direction they believe the Titans should go.
If the Titans stick and pick at their original slot, it’s a safe bet that a large majority of the fanbase prefers for the team to either add a proven pass catcher out wide or an impact blocker along the offensive line.
Patrick Conn of College Sports Wire recently released his latest mock draft, and he has the Titans addressing the receiver position with their first pick by selecting Quentin Johnston out of TCU.
Conn explains the pick with the following rationale:
The Titans need help on offense and they are plenty of options, we focus on a wide receiver with a big athletic target. Johnston has the size to tower over most cornerbacks and the athleticism to be a game breaker.
Johnston is an athletic freak that has arguably the highest ceiling out of any wide receiver in the class.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound wideout is a dynamic weapon that has the quickness to excel in the short and intermediate game, while also possessing the type of speed that can take the top off a defense.
Johnston isn’t the most polished receiver in the class at this very moment, but with proper patience and polishing, he could become a true No. 1 wide receiver in the near future.
First WR prospect of the week:
WR Quentin Johnston, @TCUFootballI personally think the Titans should go OL in Round 1 if either of the top tackles is there at 11, but you won’t get many complaints out of me if Tennessee goes this route instead.#GoFrogs #Titans pic.twitter.com/51ivZvgpnT
