The Tennessee Titans went into the 2021 NFL draft in desperate need of help at the wide receiver position, but didn’t exactly address the need the way we hoped they would.
General manager Jon Robinson didn’t take his first receiver until Round 4 on Day 3, when he gave up a slew of draft capital (three picks) to move up to No. 109 overall to draft Louisville wide receiver, Dez Fitzpatrick.
In the sixth round, Robinson double-dipped, drafting LSU wideout Racey McMath, at No. 205 overall.
The problem with both of these receivers it that they will undoubtedly need time to develop, and McMath is more of a special teams ace than anything else, which still leaves the Titans thin at the position for 2021.
After the draft, Robinson hinted that the Titans might be working through some contract extensions to free up more money, so we could see Tennessee make another addition through trade or free agency to shore things up.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at five wide receivers the Titans can still target in a trade or through free agency.
