18. Tennessee Titans

WR. Washington. John Ross . 18. player. 35. Ask the honest question. Will any team truly fear Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe in the playoffs? Of course not. Both are solid #2 and #3 receivers but neither can hope to make the big plays in big moments on a regular basis. Tennessee has to find that caliber of target for Marcus Mariota in order for him to take his talents to the next level. In such cases the easiest solution to the problem is good, old fashioned speed. <p>Speed that broke records in this case as combine phenom John Ross becomes their pick. His 4.22 time in the 40 was a perfect demonstration of his vertical ability, but his game is much more than that. He understands how to run routes and how to create separation against tight coverage. He’s not just a sprinter. He’s a quality athlete who became the go-to target on one of the best teams in the country in 2016.</p>
