The “One-Flaw” Group

Grade range: 5-5.5 out of 7

This group was the players I was really excited about, right up until I saw that one blot on their page that pushed them down the list. I could see the Titans making some exceptions for some of these guys if they have good pro days.

However, I am just using NFL combine numbers because they are much more consistent.

16. Jack Tocho- NCST (5 stars)

15. Ezra Robinson- Tennessee State (5 stars)

14. Ashton Lampkin- Oklahoma State (5 stars)

13. Quincy Wilson- Florida (5 stars)

12. Fabian Moreau- UCLA (5 stars)

11. Chidobe Awuzie- Colorado (5 stars)

10. Cordrea Tankersley- Clemson (5 stars)

9. Sojourn Shelton- Wisconsin (5.5 stars)

8. Gareon Conley- Ohio State (5.5 stars)

7. Desmond King- Iowa (5.5 stars)

Here is the thing, Desmond King could have very easily been in the elite tier on this list. If the Tennessee Titans and Jon Robinson don’t have a big issue with a 5’10 cornerback that would inch him closer to a great grade.

Here is the part that worries me, King’s biggest issue is that he is supposedly very slow and he never ran a 40-yard dash. In fact, if he had stood on his tip-toes and run a good 40-yard dash he would have gotten a perfect grade on this scale.

Not only that, but he is the perfect fit from an attitude and tackling standpoint to be a Jon Robinson favorite.

6. Adoree Jackson- USC (5.5 stars)

Speaking of players that almost had the perfect score, Jackson is another perfect instance of that. Jackson comes in a little short, but he may be a victim of his own success.

If Jackson had been thrown at a just a few more times, there is a good chance that his height would be the only issues keeping him from that perfect rating.
