Top 15 Misses of First Three Rounds in 2017 NFL Draft
35. . Wide Receiver. Western Michigan Broncos. Corey Davis. 2. player
Western Michigan Broncos wide receiver Corey Davis is good, probably one of the better wide receivers in this draft. But he wasn’t worth the fifth overall pick.
Not to mention, the Tennessee Titans also picked up another wide receiver in the third round (Taywan Taylor, Western Kentucky). The Titans had two picks in the first round so taking a wide receiver first could have always been in the cards.
But then drafting USC Troajns cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, a potential two-way player, makes this pick even more confusing. Davis could have fallen to 18th, even then, other receivers would have been available.
Linebacker and offensive line still remain glaring needs while the Titans have upgraded on offense with three picks so far. I know Adoree’ Jackson plays defense but again, he’ll probably be used on both sides.
The Titans only have picks in the fifth and seventh rounds after their three picks. If they are looking to upgrade, it will be slim pickings by the time their pick comes up.
