With their second of two third-round picks, the Tennessee Titans have selected Washington cornerback Elijah Molden at No. 100 overall in the 2021 NFL draft.
The Titans had their secondary, which was putrid in 2020, totally depleted after releasing both Malcolm Butler and Adoree’ Jackson, but have now re-stocked with a pair of young corners in this year’s draft.
While first-round pick Caleb Farley projects as a starter on the outside, Molden, who stands at 5-foot-9 and weighs 192 pounds, is a slot corner.
The Washington product doesn’t have great speed, but he is a willing tackler and plays with great instincts that makes up for his lack of speed.
We do like Molden as a player, but we have to ask: where’s the wide receiver?!
Tennessee desperately needed to add one going into Day 2, but instead have opted not to take one. Perhaps they will address the position on Day 3? We shall see.
After making this pick, the Titans are done with Day 2 but have six more selections on Day 3, with two picks in the fourth and sixth rounds, and then one apiece in the fifth and seventh rounds.
