And her selection by the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/tennessee-titans\/336\" data-autotag=\"f9731e2d-52ac-46db-9b52-ab518dbe13b4\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Tennessee Titans<\/a> backs that up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Pick 4 &#8211; Tennessee Titans &#8211; OT Spencer Fano &#8211; Utah<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fano could play tackle or guard. He ranks as my top OL in this class based on his balanced results in pass pro and run blocking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Because she uses a projection of salary cap space, available free agents, and needs, it&#8217;s possible that Tennessee fills some of its voids before the draft and takes the best available player, which could be Fano. But it still feels like a stretch. The Titans have invested heavily in their offensive line in recent seasons, and it would be hard to imagine a third first-round offensive tackle in the past four drafts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While both Arvelle Reese (New York Jets) and Reuben Bain (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/arizona-cardinals\/355\" data-autotag=\"c6331531-478d-4c7a-b93a-28f5b26af3f9\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a>) are off the board, passing on edge David Bailey (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/washington-commanders\/363\" data-autotag=\"a4fb178e-5fd0-440a-8a7b-b87aea742850\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Washington Commanders<\/a>) is a head scratcher, even if the Titans added some edge depth in free agency. Bailey appears to be a perfect fit for Robert Saleh and his defense, and would potentially give Tennessee another impact defender. If it\u2019s not Bailey, a cornerback or wide receiver would seem to hold more value at that spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Feb. 7, 2026, 9:46 a.m. ET Heading into Super Bowl weekend, there is always a flurry of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,97116,95882,95890,95896,95888,96683,95895,95906,95975,95883,97551,95889,96006,526,394,2411,527,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-735997","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfltitans","12":"tag-sstsntitans","13":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagarizona-cardinals","16":"tag-tagnational-sports","17":"tag-tagnfl","18":"tag-tagnfl-draft","19":"tag-tagnfl-hub","20":"tag-tagoverall-positive","21":"tag-tagrobert-saleh","22":"tag-tagsports-news","23":"tag-tagtennessee","24":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","25":"tag-tagwashington-commanders","26":"tag-tennessee","27":"tag-tennessee-titans","28":"tag-tennesseetitans","29":"tag-titans","30":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116030272138753850","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735997","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=735997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
