The Tennessee Titans ended up clinching the No. 4 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. Due to tiebreaker rules, they’ll possess three picks in the opening 66. Unfortunately, the Baltimore Ravens failed to make the playoffs, so the fifth-round pick they got in the Dre’Mont Jones trade won’t be upgraded to a fourth.
Now that we know so much about the Titans’ NFL Draft picks, we’ve conducted a four-round mock draft using The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine (MDM).
Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. has been excellent throughout the College Football Playoff. There’s going to be lots of debate over his arm length and positional value. Bain has responded to the criticisms by putting forth elite performances on a national stage. The Titans desperately need to address the EDGE position this offseason.
Wide receiver is the other big-time need on the Titans roster. 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.
The Titans need to acquire multiple cornerbacks this offseason. Indiana’s D’Angelo 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.
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.
