The Tennessee Titans added two new pieces to their defense during Day 2 of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night after selecting inside linebacker Monty Rice out of Georgia and cornerback Elijah Molden out of Washington.
Prior to making that pair of third-round picks, the Titans selected offensive tackle Dillon Radunz in the second, which means the team didn’t address the wide receiver position once again, something that wasn’t expected.
Whatever the case may be, the Titans may have added their slot corner and inside linebacker of the future.
Molden could slot in as soon as 2021 and makes a once-depleted secondary a little stronger, especially after the Caleb Farley pick, while Rice will likely have a year to develop with Rashaan Evans, Jayon Brown and David Long already on the roster.
Shortly after being drafted, Molden and Rice met with the media via Zoom conference. Here’s what two of the Titans’ newest additions had to say.
