The Tennessee Titans suffered through a disappointing season in 2025, finishing 3-14 for a second consecutive campaign. Mike Borgonzi oversaw a head coaching search that led the Titans to Robert Saleh. Now’s the time for Tennessee to rebuild a contender.
The Titans own eight total selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, including three top-100 picks (plus No. 101). Improving the defense and the roster around Cam Ward is the offseason goal. We’ve conducted a Titans five-round mock draft using The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine.
Round 1 (No. 4 overall): Rueben Bain Jr, DE, Miami
Rueben Bain Jr. is a relentless pass rusher with strength and build-up speed. Analysts will debate his length-related shortcomings and positional value, with some projecting him to play defensive tackle. Bain was excellent throughout the College Football Playoff and the Titans shouldn’t overthink it if he’s available.
Round 2 (No. 35 overall): Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
Notre Dame’s Malachi Fields was arguably the most productive wide receiver in attendance at this year’s Senior Bowl. Fields has prototype X-receiver size with the ability to box-out defenders at the catch point. The Titans could utilize a wideout with his skill set.
Round 3 (No. 66 overall): Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
The Titans need to acquire multiple cornerbacks this offseason. The bulk of those acquisitions should occur in free agency, because Saleh needs proven assets at the position. They’ll draft at least one too, and Georgia’s Daylen Everette is an athletic corner with good size and length to defend the boundary.
Round 4 (No. 101 overall): Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M
Kevin Zeitler and Corey Levin are free agents, Jackson Slater is an unknown commodity, and Lloyd Cushenberry hasn’t met expectations. There will be some changes to Tennessee’s interior offensive line group. Chase Bisontis is an easy mover at guard with starting-caliber upside.
Round 5 (No. 140 overall): Mike Washington Jr, RB, Arkansas
The Titans might make Tony Pollard a cap casualty. If so, they’ll probably sign a veteran running back in free agency, but a draft pick could create additional competition. Arkansas’ Mike Washington Jr. runs with good vision and instincts. Washington was a Senior Bowl standout.
Round 5 (No. 142): Dametrious Crownover, OL, Texas A&M
Throwing a late-round dart at Dan Moore’s potential replacement would be a good strategy. Moore probably won’t play out the entire term of his overpriced four-year contract. Dametrious Crownover’s massive frame is capable of engulfing pass rushers.
