2017 NFL Mock Draft: Tennessee Titans select John Ross

With the 18th pick in the 2017 Canal Street Chronicles Community NFL Mock Draft, the Tennessee Titans select...

John Ross, WR, Washington (5-foot-11, 188-pounds)

Here’s what Saints260912 had to say on the pick:

Here it is, everyone from my last draft wanted the Titans to pick a WR. I thought it would be a reach, so I went with Malik Hooker to improve a young defense. And now here we are with the 18th pick choosing between John Ross and Mike Williams. Now, when I first was thinking about this, I thought it was an obvious choice to pick Mike Williams from Clemson. Then I started looking at combine scores, and realized that maybe this is not the right move for the Titans.

First of all, I think Mike Williams is just a redbone WR, and will not be able to flat out beat any cornerback in the NFL. He will have to rely on jump passes to catch some balls. Then I was thinking of the Titans interest in Brandin Cooks, and wondered who resembles him the most in this year’s draft, and the obvious answer is John Ross. With a blazing 4.22 40-yard dash time, I predict that Ross will be able to spread out the field for Marcus Mariota and create space for other receivers like Rishard Mathews and Tajae Sharpe.

This is a perfect fit for me, and Marcus Mariota may become a top 5 quarterback in the league if this happens. With a playmaker like this on the field, I can predict the Titans will make the playoffs if they make this draft pick.

Thanks to all the CSC members who are participating in this year's community mock draft. Without your help, none of this would be possible!
