The need for capable wide receivers is ongoing in the NFL, as teams look for immediate contributors at the position in a pass-heavy league. During the first round of this year’s draft on Thursday night, here are five teams that could take a wide receiver.
5. Tennessee Titans
Getty ImagesTrading down to No. 15 overall puts the Titans in position to consider a wide receiver in the first round. If they stay put, or even move down again on Thursday night, they could have their pick at the position and add a target for Marcus Mariota.
4. Detroit Lions
Getty ImagesConsidering Calvin Johnson's retirement, things could be a lot worse for Detroit at wide receiver. But Golden Tate and Marvin Jones are ideally secondary options, so the chance to draft a legit No. 1 could be too much to pass on at No. 16.
3. Houston Texans

2. Cincinnati Bengals
Getty ImagesThe Bengals lost Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones in free agency, and added Brandon LaFell. A legit No. 2 wide receiver to go with A.J. Green is a need, and Cincinnati is well-positioned to address it with the 24th pick.
1. Minnesota Vikings
Getty ImagesStefon Diggs looks like a keeper, but the Vikings need to get a wide receiver early in this draft. At No. 23, there should be a few options available.
