The Tennessee Titans had a solid draft last year, acquiring a breakout player like wide receiver A.J. Brown and emerging star like defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons.
This year, the team hopes to have the same type of success. Tennessee brought in a promising haul with the likes of former LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton and Georgia offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Next Gen Stats seems to believe the Titans made some of the best selections in the event, held in a virtual format for the first time ever this year.
The Titans received a score of 74, tied with the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Only the Denver Broncos (77) and the Indianapolis Colts (75) ranked higher on the list. Scores were based on teams prioritizing athleticism and production.
