4. Adoree Jackson, Titans

There is a second Jackson on this list and it is Adoree Jackson from Tennessee.

Interestingly, Tennessee seems to be in a transition on paper. With the recent release of Malcolm Butler and Jackson in the last year of his deal, it might be worth a call. Jackson would be bringing another young cornerback into the fold. It also allows, like Joshua Jackson, the Denver Broncos to add cornerbacks in the first two days of the NFL Draft.

Adoree would be an interesting option here simply due to his speed and reactionary skills. In an AFC West and particularly new NFL where speed wide receivers reign supreme, Jackson would fit in and help immediately.

The question just becomes, what is Jackson worth? He was a first-round selection but very well might not warrant a first-round pick from Denver. A third-round pick and future pick may get it done for Denver, but the availability here is still unknown.

Like the other Jackson in Green Bay, Adoree would be an added kickoff return bonus if Denver decides to focus Diontae Spencer as strictly a punt returner. Jackson’s speed is a weapon and could be used in more ways than just defense.

He would be a nice piece to add to the secondary without question. Denver does not have a player with pure speed at the corner like Adoree Jackson.
