The Tennessee Titans select Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love with the No. 4 overall pick in Daniel Jeremiah’s 2026 NFL mock draft 3.0.

Love rises from being selected with the No. 9 overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in Jeremiah’s mock draft 2.0, to No. 4 overall to the Titans, in accordance with his rising status in the aftermath of the 2026 NFL Combine.

According to Jeremiah, the Titans go with Love at No. 4 in the aftermath of their signings in free agency.

”Tennessee addressed a lot of its defensive needs in free agency, which frees the team up to take my No. 2 player in the draft to help Cam Ward,” Jeremiah said.

The Titans traded for defensive end Jermaine Johnson this offseason. Tennessee also signed defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers in free agency. The Titans have been active in the open market in 2026. They’ve executed deals that have added to their defensive unit this winter.
