Tennessee Titans final grades for all eight 2021 NFL Draft picks
The Tennessee Titans land a potential steal in Caleb Farley.
Round 1 Pick 22: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech
With the Tennessee Titans’ first pick, they took a flier on an extremely talented player.
Caleb Farley was widely considered a Top-ten talent. Nevertheless, due to injury, he slipped to the latter part of the first round where the Titans were able to snatch him. Cornerback is a position that desperately needed to be addressed as the Titans’ top three corners from 2020 have either signed elsewhere or they continue to remain on the market.
While the team did bring in Janoris Jenkins and are returning Kristian Fulton, there is a huge drop in talent after those two players. Enter Caleb Farley.
This is a prospect that has great size for a CB, standing six-foot-two and weighing in at 207 pounds. Don’t let the size fool you, as Farley also has exceptional speed and lateral quickness. He has all of the makings of an elite outside corner opposite Jenkins.
Of course, this is assuming Farley’s injury issues are behind him. If they are, this should be a great Tennessee Titans corner for the next decade.
