![]() He'll give the Titans a player who can stand up and rush the passer off the edge or put his hand in the dirt as a down lineman. My take: Weaver is a heavy-handed OLB/DE that is adept at playing both the run and the pass. 135 overall: Rashad Weaver, OLB/DE, Pittsburgh His 6-foot-2 size and ball skills allow him to play above the rim as well. Although he's not the fastest receiver, Fitzpatrick is a legitimate deep threat (19.4 yards per catch last season). My take: Fitzpatrick is a polished route runner that will come in and immediately compete for a job as an outside receiver. 109 overall: Dez Fitzpatrick, WR, Louisville Picking Molden gives the Titans the luxury to wait for first-round pick Caleb Farley to get ready to play. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound defensive back is a more than willing tackler as shown by his 79 tackles (49 solo) in 2019 and 26 tackles in four games last season. Elijah collected five interceptions and three forced fumbles in the last two seasons. He has NFL bloodlines - his father is former New Orleans Saints cornerback Alex Molden. He is a versatile player who can be featured as a nickel corner and as a single high safety. My take: Molden fits the Titans' aggressive defensive mindset. 100 overall: Elijah Molden, CB, Washington He was used in coverage against running backs which should allow him to be used in spot duty for the Titans. Rice did show that he has some speed by running a 4.57 second time in the 40-yard dash at Georgia. So the need for depth at inside linebacker was there but could have been addressed later. The Titans re-signed Jayon Brown to a deal that is essentially a one-year contract and are yet to pick up the fifth-year option for Rashaan Evans. My take: Rice should be a core special teamer but a third-round pick seems a little rich for that. Radunz comes from a "small" school but the Bison ran an NFL-style offense with blocking schemes that should translate well to the Titans. He isn't an instant plug-and-play starter so the Titans will have a legitimate competition on their hands with veterans Ty Sambrailo or Kendall Lamm in training camp. Radunz played left tackle at North Dakota State but will convert to right tackle for the Titans. My take: The Titans swung and missed by selecting Isaiah Wilson in the first round last year. 53 overall: Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State Robinson seems confident Farley can return to form and give the Titans another premier player with a late pick. It's fair to say both of those moves worked out for the Titans. A couple of years later, Robinson selected Simmons despite his suffering a torn ACL before the combine. Davis struggled initially before having a breakout season in 2018. 5 overall pick in the 2017 draft despite him not being able to participate in the combine due to an ankle injury. The Titans selected Corey Davis with the No. Robinson the risk taker: GM Jon Robinson is no stranger to taking risks with first-round picks. If Farley is able to return to form, he is capable of being a shutdown corner. Farley's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Farley will be ready to play when teams report to training camp in July. Farley explained that he chose to have a discectomy on the L5 herniation, which gave him immediate relief. Those injuries along with not seeing him work out at Virginia Tech's pro day caused Farley, who by many is considered to be a top 10 player in the draft, to fall to the Titans. Is his back healthy? Farley injured his L5 disc and suffered a bulged S1 disc. Farley finished the 2019 season with four interceptions and 12 passes defended. Adding Farley allows the Titans to use second-year cornerback Kristian Fulton on the inside as a nickel corner in sub packages. He is more than willing as a tackler and can create turnovers. A healthy Farley, who opted out of the 2020 season due to the pandemic, will be able to line up on the outside and be trusted in man coverage. The Titans felt the opportunity was too good to pass up just like when they selected Jeffery Simmons in the first round of the 2019 draft. My take: Farley is a classic high-risk, high-reward player. 22 overall: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech Here's a pick-by-pick look at how each player Tennessee has selected will fit.Īnalysis of every NFL pick | Updated NFL depth charts The 2021 NFL draft was held April 29 through May 1, and every Tennessee Titans draft pick has been analyzed here.Īfter last season's virtual draft, Cleveland played host to festivities this year with a handful of potential draft picks present and socially distanced because of COVID-19.
