Pick Analysis. Texas AM. Jalen Wydermyer. 31. player. Scouting Report. TE. 35

31. Tennessee Titans: Jalen Wydermyer, TE, Texas A&M

The Tennessee Titans are coming in at No. 31 in this mock draft since they are one of the hottest teams in the AFC but sadly, that could change quickly due to the injury suffered by Derrick Henry. However, we won’t count them out just yet — so they still come in at this spot. And they use the pick to get better at tight end by taking Jalen Wydermyer from Texas A&M.

Tennessee’s offense is very balanced even though there are still some who believe is that Henry has to do it all. However, they don’t have a stud tight end who can stretch the field.

Adding Wydermyer changes that and really can open things up for them going forward.

EDGE. 32. player. 50. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Cincinnati. Myjai Sanders

32. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Adam Anderson, EDGE, Georgia

The Los Angeles Rams hate draft picks more than the Rock hates Vin Diesel. It’s simply a feud that will never die and even general manager Les Snead’s kids have picked on his disdain for draft capital following his recent trade for Von Miller.

That’s why the final pick in our mock draft belongs to the Detroit Lions rather than L.A. as the Rams sent this one to the Motor City as part of their trade for Matthew Stafford. With the selection, they add Myjai Sanders from Cincinnati.

This season, Sanders hasn’t had the best statistical output but his body of work over the prior two seasons — coupled with his length and athleticism — should be enough for him to sneak into the end of Round 1.
