Round 3 Pick 82: JJ Arcega Whiteside, WR, Stanford

Marcus Mariota had a rough year in 2018 as he led a Tennessee Titans passing attack that averaged a paltry 185.9 yards per game through the air last season.

To be fair, the four year starter dealt with a significant elbow injury that nagged him all year long.

As he looks to get back to form in 2019, adding weapons around him early in the draft will be important.

A name that would be a terrific addition to the Titans young receiver group is former Stanford Cardinal, JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

At 6’2 and 225lb’s, Whiteside would give them a big, strong, reliable target that this offense could really use.

He has some of the best hands in this class and already has the body control that you would expect from a physical NFL receiver.

During his time at Stanford, Arcega-Whiteside pulled down 135 catches for 2,219 yards and had 28 touchdowns.

With undeniable production at the college level and NFL-ready skills as a pass catcher, this would be an excellent piece to add to the offense.
