Velus Jones Jr. – WR – Chicago Bears | Third Round, Pick No. 71

Theo Jackson – DB – Tennessee Titans | Sixth Round, Pick No. 204

Theo Jackson Selection Grade:

  • Clutch Points‘ Benedetto Vitale: B-
    • “Tennessee didn’t need much help on defense entering the draft, but the Titans selected a solid prospect in Theo Jackson. He will likely play safety and has the potential to replace Dan Cruickshank as the main backup option. Additionally, Jackson can be a monster for the special teams unit, which could be where he excels throughout his career.”
