Predicting every Tennessee Titans pick on second day of 2021 NFL Draft

Here’s what the Tennesee Titans might do on the draft’s second night.

It is easy to love the Tennessee Titans selection of Caleb Farley as long as you don’t get bogged down in things that you can’t answer.

Since no one knows what his medical reports say and the Tennessee Titans doctors cleared him, let’s set aside those concerns. If you do that, then Jon Robinson is off to another great start as we head into Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft.

A great start doesn’t make a draft class though, just like a slow start doesn’t ruin a draft class. Luckily, one of the big selling points on this draft class for the Titans was the fact that they have four picks inside the top-100.

Now that number is down to three picks and given the Titans’ needs, the odds are that these picks will either be spent on a wide receiver, defensive lineman, offensive lineman, or a tight end.

You can’t fix everything on Day 2, but you can certainly use the board to add talent where you need it. Tennessee could trade up in this second round given how many picks they have. Here’s a theory about what all of that looks like using PFN’s updated mock draft simulator and a few results. Buckle up. This could be fun.

The Tennessee Titans select Elijah Moore, a WR from Ole Miss.

Shockingly, Elijah Moore fell so far in this mock draft, but a run on defensive tackles helped push down one of the people that Titans fans (and Titans players) were clamoring for in the first round of the selection meeting.

There are some things that Moore will have to overcome, specifically the fact that he spent the majority of his career in the slot and he measured in under five-foot-ten inches tall at his Pro Day. Having said that, this would be a home run pick for the Titans.

Cornerback and wide receiver were tied for the Titans’ top need heading into this draft and both were in a similar situation. Both groups were serviceable if they had to trot out a team tomorrow, but one talented player could change the entire outlook of the position.

By adding Caleb Farley, the Titans limit the stress that they put on Kristian Fulton and they allow Jackrabbit Jenkins to do what he does best on the outside. Similarly, by adding Elijah Moore Tennessee would let A.J. Brown and Josh Reynolds do what they do best on the outside while Moore starts off his career as a slot specialist.

The Tennessee Titans select Brady Christiansen at pick

This is going to be a tough choice because if the Titans fill their needs at cornerback and wide receiver, there really isn’t a glaring need left.

People talk about the holes on the Titans roster, but unless you can add a Pro Bowl talent to most of these positions, the rookie that comes in this summer isn’t going to make a huge impact in Week 1.

When you know that, it’s easy to state that Christiansen is a player that Jon Robinson would love given his history. Is he six-foot0six or taller? Yes, he is. Does he have a long resume as a starter? Yes, he does, Try 38 games over the last three seasons on for size. Is he athletic? Not only is he athletic, but he is also one of the most athletic linemen that we have seen in the last 30-plus years according to RAS:

Some project him inside to guard due to his arm length, but that shouldn’t matter for the Titans. Their plans for him should be to groom him behind one of the best starting offensive lines in the NFL and then let him compete for a starting spot inside or outside whenever a change needs to be made.

Until then, he can be high-end insurance and a player that could be featured in jumbo packages.

The Tennessee Titans select Tommy Tremble, a tight end from Notre Dame.

In a weak defensive line class, the Tennessee Titans finish Day 2 by fixing every hole on the roster except the defensive line.

Instead of spending a premium pick on someone who isn’t graded as a top-100 player, the Titans select Tommy Tremble in a spot very close to where they drafted Jonnu Smith a few years ago. Oddly enough, Tremble is almost the opposite of Jonnu Smith.

While both are athletic with big frames, Smith came into the league as a receiving threat tucked inside a tight end’s body. Tremble, on the other hand, plays like an offensive lineman or a fullback with boosted athleticism.

That is good because the Titans already have their receiving threat at tight end in Anthony Firkser, but what they don’t have is a jack-of-all-trades type. Geoff Swaim is a good blocking tight end, but he is probably going to end up in the Craig Stevens, Anthony Fasano mold as a guy who fans want to see get more targets, but who doesn’t ever do anything special with those catches.

Taking Christiansen and Tremble back-to-back would be a nice way of reminding everyone that while the defense has gotten a lot of attention and while they landed their speedster in the slot, this is a team that wants to dominate opponents on the ground and they are deep and talented enough to do so.
