Round 5, pick No. 174
Anthony Gordon | QB | Washington State
It’s time to take the backup quarterback position seriously and secure a player capable of stepping in and making something happen when the starter goes down. Not that the Titans have been particularly lucky with signal-callers in recent history, but they’ve fared even worse beyond the starter.
Gordon, who could be the biggest sleeper in the draft, has a quick enough release to rival nearly the entire league, with equally strong pocket awareness and field vision.
He’s exactly what a team wants in a developmental quarterback prospect without prioritizing the position early on.
