1. Tennessee Titans: Draft Grade A+
The Tennessee Titans drafted their franchise quarterback in Marcus Mariota. After all the speculation about trading the pick away the Titans took Mariota, who I believe will be the next great quarterback in the NFL. The Titans had the gutsiest draft in the NFL, turning down many a trades and picking two of the most polarizing figures of the draft class.
Dorial Green-Beckham was the Titans second round selection with the 40th overall pick. The Titans took a chance on one of the most controversial draft prospects I can ever remember. The troubled Green-Beckham at the end of the day is the perfect 6-5 freakishly athletic receiver to get for Mariota.
The Titans had several other impressive picks including offensive guard Jeremiah Poutasi (66th overall pick) and the most underrated running back in this draft, David Cobb (138th overall pick). Cobb is the perfect complement to Bishop Sankey who the Titans selected last year to be their leading running back.
