Tennessee Titans
Top Pick: Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
Last year the Titans had one of the worst offensive lines in football and Marcus Mariota paid for it. This year they made it their mission to fix that problem by grabbing Conklin in the 1st round. Some wondered about his athleticism other nitpicks, overlooking his experience and success at Michigan State. The results speak for themselves. Conklin has yet to allow a sack this year and is also a big reason the Tennessee rushing attack is beginning to stampede defenses.
Grade: A+
Hidden Gem: Tajae Sharpe, WR, Massachusetts
One of the bigger surprises of the pre-draft process back in April was Tajae Sharpe. He had an outstanding scouting combine, showcasing his natural hands and ability to run routes. Perhaps not a go-to guy, but one defenses would learn to hate for his knacks at getting open. Sharpe has become a steady contributor in the Titans offense with 23 catches for 259 yards. Health is something he’ll need to get right in order to take off.
