2020 NFL Mock Draft: Tennessee Titans use PFF’s draft study
By Will Lomas
I take a swing at another 2020 NFL Mock Draft for the Tennessee Titans using PFF’s draft study.
This weekend I posted a breakdown of PFF’s interesting breakdown of where the value really is in the NFL Draft and how that related to the Tennessee Titans.
At the end, I said that I was going to do a mock draft to figure out how the Titans could implement that historical data and apply it to the 2020 NFL Draft class.
It seems like the Titans are on the verge of doing something dumb and letting Jack Conklin and Logan Ryan go with ultimately no idea about what to do with the extra cap space.
Some of this is just speculation and some of it is based on the Titans incredibly restrictive free agency filters where they feel they need to have hands on experience with a player that they are going to sign.
If the Titans end up with $30+ million in cap space and no right tackle or no slot cornerback, then it means that the biggest splashes that they could be expected to make are signing either Jadeveon Clowney or Amari Cooper.
Either way, the data that we have from the article linked above makes it seems like losing out on cornerback talent and a starting offensive tackle are problems that can only really be solved with two high picks.
Knowing that, I tried to go into a mock draft with the idea of taking those two positions high and then letting the board and data meet for the most optimal draft.
This is what I came up with.
