Titans grab wideout A.J. Brown in 2nd round

The Tennessee Titans selected wide receiver A.J. Brown out of Ole Miss in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 51st overall.

Tennessee gets a necessary weapon for Marcus Mariota after finishing 29th in the league in passing offense last season. Its 2017 first-round pick, Corey Davis, led the team in receiving yards with 891 and running back Dion Lewis placed second with 400 yards. Davis led the Titans in receiving TDs with four.

Brown is just the fourth receiver taken in this year's draft.

Prospect profile

School: Ole Miss
Height: 6-1
Weight: 226 lbs

Strengths

• Very productive collegiate career
• Soft hands - makes a number of tough catches look easy
• Good size and physicality allow him to line up anywhere
• Matchup nightmare as a slot receiver
• Very elusive after catch
• Solid, crafty route-runner who possesses great agility
• Can easily separate versus off coverage

Weaknesses

• Has been bested by top-tier press coverage
• Doesn't possess great long speed or initial burst
• Least productive games came against top competition

Bottom line

Brown is a solid early-round prospect who could find instant success in the NFL. He likely fits best in a big slot receiver role as a middle-of-the-field target. Brown may have some athletic limitations in the pros, but he's a refined route-runner that beats defenses in a variety of ways. He's a high-level chain mover that's dangerous with the ball in his hands and can be an occasional red-zone threat. With few weaknesses in his game, Brown's floor as a prospect is among the highest in this receiver class.
