The Tennessee Titans’ wide receiver corps. finished with a top-three grade during the 2020 campaign, according to Pro Football Focus.
Tennessee’s unit finished last season with an overall mark of 85.4, which ranked third in the NFL. Only the Minnesota Vikings’ (89.9) and Buffalo Bills’ (89.0) wideouts had a better combined grade.
That grade was made possible by the Titans’ top-two wideouts from last season, Corey Davis and A.J. Brown, both of whom finished with a top 10 PFF grade in 2020.
Of course, the former is no longer with the team after signing with the New York Jets in free agency, and the Titans also parted ways with oft-injured slot receiver Adam Humphries, and lost tight end Jonnu Smith in free agency, forcing Tennessee to revamp its group of pass-catchers.
Despite adding Josh Reynolds in free agency and Dez Fitzpatrick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Titans are still lacking depth at wide receiver, leading us to believe that another move is coming somewhere down the line.

Most Titans fans are hoping that move is a trade for Julio Jones, who the team has reportedly been having talks with the Atlanta Falcons about. However, Tennessee is considered a “long shot” to acquire him.
Granted, the Titans don’t necessarily need to make that big of a splash to shore up their receivers room, but it’s a go-for-it move we’d love to see nonetheless.
