20. Tennessee Titans: Alshon Jeffery, WR

We know this guy well. Alshon Jeffery has played for the Eagles over the last two seasons, and he has been crucial for their significant success. In 2012, Jeffery was just a second-round pick out of South Carolina and landed with the Chicago Bears. At the time, he dominated alongside Brandon Marshall, but they were never able to take their team to the next level.

It seemed as though Jeffery was going to be on the Bears forever, but the direction of their franchise wasn’t looking promising to Jeffery. So he decided to test free agency in 2017. Fortunately, the Eagles won Jeffery over with a one-year deal, as opposed to a multi-year deal, which the Minnesota Vikings offered him.

Jeffery’s gamble in Philly paid off, as he was gifted a multi-year deal halfway through his first season in Philly anyway. Who knows how things would’ve gone if Jeffery did end up being the Titans first-round pick in 2012. Maybe he would still be their top receiver.
