35. . WR. Washington. John Ross. 13. player

After taking a cornerback with their first pick, the Titans should turn their focus to the other side of the ball. The offense has been playing relatively well thanks to the running game with DeMarco Murray, but the Titans could stand to add some weapons for Marcus Mariota to throw to.

John Ross may only be 5’11” and 190 pounds, but he is one of the most dynamic playmakers in this draft class. The Washington Huskies receiver possesses some elite speed and explosiveness to go along with easily the best footwork of any receiver in this class.

Ross compares well to Washington Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson because of his small frame and big-play ability. He’s not going to pave the way for anyone in the running game, but Ross will be able to come in and start making plays in the passing game from Day 1.
