Titans' immensely difficult 2021 schedule can't be measured in formulas
Based on the current formulas used to calculate strength of schedule, it would appear that the Tennessee Titans’ 2021 slate isn’t too bad — but when you take a deeper dive, that couldn’t be further from the truth. One way to calculate strength of schedule is using the 2020 records of the Titans’ 2021 opponents, which is normally our least-favorite way to do it since that avenue doesn’t factor in moves made during the offseason.

- School: Virginia Tech

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Titans let Malcolm Butler, Adoree’ Jackson and Desmond King walk, so corner was a huge need. If Farley is healthy, it’s a home run. He’s a long, highly athletic man-cover talent. But multiple teams we spoke with in the lead up to the draft expressed concern about the fact that he has had multiple microdisectomies and that his back issues could linger. After whiffing on Isaiah Wilson hard last year, this is quite the risk this time around. They must feel good about his medical eval.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Titans could try Trey Lance’s left tackle on the right side, where Kendall Lamm and Ty Sambrailo are the current options to start. But Radunz also can play with his aggressive, nasty style at guard. He has balance issues but is a high-energy blocker who has promise. This is about where we felt our 54th overall prospect should be taken. After whiffing on Isaiah Wilson last year, this pick needs to hit.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Just missing our top 100, Rice has a smallish frame to play the middle in the NFL. But he is surprisingly strong and athletic and hits like a truck. Rice is hit or miss in coverage and lacks the ability to be a stack-and-shed linebacker who can sort through the trash effectively, so the challenge will be to find the right role for him.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We amend our Ronnie Perkins/Patriots statement. This could be our favorite Day 2 pick. Molden is small and not especially fast for his size, but we don’t care one bit. His highly competitive and instinctive style will work one way or another in the NFL, certainly on special teams but either as a nickel or a safety on defense. He will outplay his draft standing.
