The Tennessee Titans have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. If the hire of Mike Vrabel works out and Marcus Mariota takes him game to the next level, they could easily compete in the AFC next season. While they have a well-rounded roster, the Titans still have holes, with edge rusher particularly standing out. In this 2018 NFL mock draft, the Titans aggressively add to their edge rusher position by trading up for Marcus Davenport.

Davenport is an extremely exciting and athletic edge rusher who has a ton of natural upside at the next level. His ability to explode off of the snap and gain an immediate edge in the backfield is incredibly impressive. That being said, he is a raw prospect who needs some work. Davenport is a bit of a risk, but his upside is massive as well. This could end up being a huge move for the Tennessee Titans.

36. . CB. Iowa. Josh Jackson. 18. player

After moving on from Richard Sherman this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks have a need at the cornerback position. Shaquill Griffin appears to be a real asset on one side, but the Seahawks severely lack depth throughout the position. With the 18th pick of this 2018 NFL mock draft, they find a perfect fit in Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson.

Jackson is a big and long cornerback who shows impressive press-man ability and ball skills. He is a true playmaker on the outside who could come in and be an immediate contributor for the Seahawks. Simply put, Jackson is a perfect fit for what the Seahawks do and would fill a big-time need on the roster.
