Thanks to a trade with the Los Angeles Rams for last year’s No. 1 overall pick, the Titans get a second first-round selection in the 2017 draft. Even after drafting Allen earlier, the Titans should continue to add key pieces to their defense.

Tennessee’s secondary isn’t exactly stellar, and they could use some help at the cornerback position. I still don’t think there’s a clear-cut No.1 cornerback in this class, but Florida’s Jalen “Teez” Tabor could wind up being that guy by the end of the season.

Teez has that combination of size (6’0”, 201 pounds) and speed that makes him such an appealing draft prospect. He’s aggressive and has great ball skills to create turnovers. However, his play against the run over the next few weeks could determine whether or not he’s the first cornerback off of the board in late April.
