If your pre-draft prediction was that Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson would opt against trading away either of his two first round picks to gain more draft capital, you were certainly among the minority. You were also correct, as that’s exactly how things played out.
Thanks to last year’s blockbuster trade with the Los Angeles Rams, the Titans held two picks in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft: #5 and #18. With the fifth pick, they selected wide receiver Corey Davis of Western Michigan. With the eighteenth pick, they selected cornerback Adoree’ Jackson of USC.
