Marlon Humphrey. 16. player. 35. After getting the No. 1 receiver at No. 5 overall, the Titans have but one real weakness left. That’s the CB position because Cox, who I mentioned before, absolutely did not get it done this year. Of course, he has since been cut and now, they can find that guy. <p>In this deep CB class, Marlon Humphrey is probably the best one for the Titans left on the board. At 6’1″, 200 pounds Humphrey is a long, physical CB with excellent speed and movement skills, So he is versatile, excelling in press-man, off-man, and zone coverage.</p> <p>He also comes from Alabama, where they run a pro style defense so he’s used to disguising coverages. So DC Dick LeBeau would enjoy having him in coverage behind all the games he plays up front. This would be a good pick and fit right here at No. 16 overall.</p> <p>Humphrey is pro ready and would go in to contribute to the team in coverage right away. So the Titans would have a huge, immediate upgrade over the recently cut Cox. The Titans would then have no big weaknesses and be ready to compete in the AFC South.</p>. CB. Alabama
