Notre Dame wideout Malachi Fields is a big-bodied wideout with prototype X-receiver abilities. The 6-foot-4 and 223 pound senior has scored five touchdowns apiece in the previous three seasons at Notre Dame and Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Round 3 (No. 66): D\u2019Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Titans need to acquire multiple cornerbacks this offseason. Indiana\u2019s D\u2019Angelo Ponds is a pro-ready corner who can contribute right away. Ponds is athletic and competitive with a playmaking streak. His awareness and football I.Q. is off the charts in zone coverage, allowing him to drive forward and make plays on the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Round 4 (No. 101): Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Are the Titans going to release Tony Pollard this offseason? The running back position remains in-flux heading into free agency and the NFL Draft. Wake Forest running back Demond Claiborne rushed for nearly 2,000 yards and 21 touchdowns across 2024-25. Claiborne is shifty and explosive with NFL-caliber burst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Round 1 (No. 4): Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami Round 2 (No. 35): Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,6,526,394,88576,2414,12322,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-661155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-tennessee","11":"tag-tennessee-titans","12":"tag-tennessee-titans-analysis","13":"tag-tennessee-titans-draft","14":"tag-tennessee-titans-mock-drafts","15":"tag-tennesseetitans","16":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115853962114164566","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
