7. Tennessee Titans- JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

Scouting Report

This is the Tennessee Titans second pick in the 1st round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Earlier, I had them select pass rusher Myles Garrett and now it’s time to address the offensive side of the ball. Tennessee needs wide receiver help and have a chance here to land a difference maker.

USC’s JuJu Smith-Schuster is a big-bodied wide receiver who uses his size to gain position. He knows how to box out defenders and is aggressive at high-pointing the football. This is someone who makes life easier on his quarterback.

Smith-Schuster would be a nice complement to Tajae Sharpe and give the Titans some stability at the position. This is a team that has seen early draft picks like Justin Hunter, Dorial Green-Beckham and to an extent Kendall Wright fail.

Clemson’s Mike Williams is another talented wide receiver prospect the Titans could consider.

The Titans could also consider doing more work on the defensive side of the ball by addressing the secondary. Washington’s Sidney Jones and Florida’s Jalen Tabor are my top rated cornerbacks on the board.

However, it might be a little early for either of these guys to come off the board.
