With the Tennessee Titans\u2019 2026 season now at the halfway point, it\u2019s time to ramp up the focus on who could be added to the mix. Here\u2019s a 3-round 2027 NFL mock draft. <\/p>\n

The Tennessee Titans<\/a>, along with the rest of the NFL, are racing through this 2026 regular season. But Tennessee is among a select handful of teams racing toward something else, too. The first overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. <\/p>\n

Tennessee, should the season end today, would have the No. 2 overall pick<\/a>, plus an extra first-round pick thanks to their blockbuster trade of Jeffery Simmons to Chicago. The Titans still have half a season to see their current roster and collection of young players improve. But what the team does with their next round of investments will be big for determining the future forecast. So here\u2019s a three-round Tennessee Titans mock draft for 2027 for your consideration. <\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans 2027 3-round mock draft \u2014\u00a0Robert Saleh\u2019s defense loads up to bring the vision to life<\/p>\n

\"\"Aug 31, 2024; Columbia, South Carolina, USA; South Carolina Gamecocks edge Dylan Stewart (6).Jeff Blake-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

1st round, 2rd overall \u2013 Dylan Stewart, EDGE, South Carolina<\/p>\n

Stewart feels a bit more like a Robert Saleh fit on the edge than Colin Simmons \u2014\u00a0who is more compact and offers less length than the South Carolina rusher. Yes, Stewart\u2019s 2026 season has been eventful for some unsavory reasons. But he\u2019s an ELITE pass-rushing talent with all the physical gifts needed to become the kind of defender who can wreck game plans. <\/p>\n

Saleh\u2019s front in life after Jeffery Simmons is going to need more juice. I like the foundation of players in place, but Stewart has the ability to be a true cornerstone of the unit. <\/p>\n

1st round, 30th overall \u2013 Vicari Swain, CB, South Carolina<\/p>\n

What is better than one Gamecock on the roster? How about two? Swain has good size for the perimeter in the NFL, and I find myself taken by his physicality and athleticism. Tennessee has added talent here this past offseason. But a young player like Swain could be a long-term chip that gives the team the freedom to avoid high spending on the open market. <\/p>\n

I see Swain as an all-around player who hopefully will avoid the same \u201cunder-drafted\u201d trap that his 2025 teammate, Brandon Cisse, did. <\/p>\n

2nd round, 35th overall \u2013 Kade Pieper, IOL, Iowa<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Titans\u2019 offensive line hasn\u2019t been the maligned unit many have come to expect. But forgive me if I\u2019m not putting all my eggs in the Austin Schlottmann basket long-term. Skoronski and Latham give the Titans a pair of building blocks, and getting healthy at right guard could offer some long-term options. Schlottmann is 31 years old and under contract through 2027. <\/p>\n

You tell me\u2026can you ever have too many good offensive linemen? And Pieper has started games at right guard at Iowa, too. <\/p>\n

3rd round, 66th overall \u2013 Ty Benefield, SAF, Louisiana State<\/p>\n

As Robert Saleh gets his defense rolling, getting more playmakers in the secondary will go a long way in helping to generate turnovers. Amani Hooker is in place despite being a rumored trade target by contenders. Opposite him? I like Kevin Winston. But I think Benefield would be a great add and allow the Tennessee Titans to roll with some big nickel, too. <\/p>\n
