35. . Cornerback. Tennessee Titans. Jaylon Johnson. 29. player

It’s unfortunate that the Tennessee Titans didn’t capitalize on their Super Bowl opportunity in 2019, because they face a great deal of uncertainty moving forward, especially at the cornerback position. Of the three incumbent starters, Logan Ryan is gone through free agency, Malcolm Butler is regressing at a quickening pace, and Adoree Jackson is in a contract year.

The Titans have other pressing needs, such as offensive tackle and tight end, but cornerback has a compelling case to be the top need at No. 29 overall. At this juncture, the Titans still have a fairly big pool of first-round-worthy cornerback prospects to consider, and Jaylon Johnson is one of them.

Johnson is a stellar athlete at cornerback who has the production to match up his traits, with seven interceptions and 21 pass deflections over three years at Utah, including two picks and 11 deflections in his final season. Johnson is a competitor who brings aggression in press coverage and quick space-eating ability when matched up man-to-man. He’s one of those high-floor, high-upside prospects that teams like the Titans always have to be aware of.
