The Tennessee Titans could look at adding a wide receiver at some point in the 2020 NFL Draft, but it remains to be seen exactly when — and if — that happens.
In his latest mock draft on NFL.com, Daniel Jeremiah has the Titans taking Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk with the No. 29 overall pick in the first round.
I love Aiyuk’s game and his toughness would fit the culture in Tennessee.
While Tennessee already has a solid receiving corps. for 2020, adding another wideout wouldn’t be a bad idea.
There is a good chance the team doesn’t pick up Corey Davis’ fifth-year option after he took a step back in production in 2019, which could lead to him moving on in 2021 and leaving a hole at the position.
Immediately, the Titans could use someone to stretch the field for 2020, and Aiyuk’s speed makes him a player who fits that description.
He’s great on vertical routes and is sensational at compiling yards after the catch, thanks to his speed and toughness. In 2019, Aiyuk averaged an impressive 18.3 yards per reception.
The Arizona State product could also contribute in the return game if need be, as he returned both punts and kicks during his time in college. Last season, Aiyuk totaled 31.9 yards per kick return and 16.1 yards per punt return for the Sun Devils.
I still believe the Titans will be looking for a cornerback first and foremost when their pick comes up in the first round, but don’t rule out a receiver in that spot if one they really like falls to them.
