Here is my Titans Mock Draft 6.0: A meat and potatoes draft class for Mike Borgonzi from a meat and potatoes kind of draft, finding sneaky impact players at a variety of positions.<\/p>\n

Welcome to draft month! We\u2019re in the final stretch before some fateful decisions are made over the three days of the 2026 NFL Draft, and it\u2019s time for the sixth iteration of my predictive Tennessee Titans mock draft.<\/p>\n

With the annual NFL Owners Meetings behind us, here is where I think the Titans could go:<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans 7-Round Mock Draft<\/p>\n

Round 1, Pick 4: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech<\/p>\n

The title of this mock calls Bailey the favorite to be taken here. Favorite according to who? According to me. I wrote at length about my post-Owners Meetings feelings in terms of where the Titans go at 4. You can read more about that right here<\/a>. If Bailey is still on the board at 4, I think he is the perfect blend of need and value. He\u2019s a premium position, a top EDGE in this class, and he has an elite trait: his wicked first step.<\/p>\n

Round 2, Pick 39: Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon<\/p>\n

Trade! GM Mike Borgonzi traded out of the top of Round 2 in his first season at the helm, and he runs it back again here. The Titans send picks 35 and 144 to the Browns for picks 39 and 75, adding a fourth top-100 pick to this class.<\/p>\n

The Titans have left two giant question marks for themselves at center and right guard heading into draft weekend. Pregnon is a hoss interior prospect who can be a plug-and-play day 1 starter at guard, infusing the unit with even more youth.<\/p>\n

Round 3, Pick 66: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia St.<\/p>\n

The Titans still need to give Cam Ward at least one exciting weapon in this draft class, and Hurst is a popular pick for a reason. His hulking frame and elite contested catch ability make him a strong complement to finish this WR room. Cam Ward has his boundary threat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Round 3, Pick 75: Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh<\/p>\n

The Titans are still missing an ideal Will (weak side) linebacker for Robert Saleh\u2019s lateral defense. I wrote about why right here<\/a>. Kyle Louis is an ideal fit for this job at the end of Day 2. He\u2019s the closest thing to a hybrid linebacker\/defensive back in this class, and that range is exactly what the Titans need.<\/p>\n

Round 4, Pick 101: Devin Moore, CB, Florida<\/p>\n

Devin Moore represents what I think is the last stop in this draft for a prototypically-sized outside cornerback with early starter upside. At 6\u20193\u201d 198lbs, his long speed and length to compete at the catch point make him a value option. Health and consistency will be the questions he has to answer at the next level.<\/p>\n

Round 5, Pick 142: TJ Hall, CB, Iowa<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the Titans\u2019 free agency fool you: this team needs more depth at DB. Especially younger players who could be here for the long haul. Hall will be strong depth and helpful on special teams as a rookie, and his tackling prowess is something he can hang his hat on as he pushes for a starting role down the road.<\/p>\n

Round 6, Pick 184: Eli Rairdon, TE, Notre Dame<\/p>\n

The Titans let Chig Okonkwo walk in free agency, and they could use a TE to complement Gunnar Helm on a rookie contract. This 6\u20197\u201d 252lb quality blocker is no stiff as an athlete either.<\/p>\n

Round 6, Pick 194: Pat Coogan, IOL, Indiana<\/p>\n

Time to invest in the OL once more, adding C Pat Coogan off his college championship run. He\u2019s an average athlete with lackluster length, but his technical and mental prowess is how he\u2019ll compete in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Round 7, Pick 225: Uar Bernard, DT, International Player Pathway program<\/p>\n

Heard of this guy? I bet you haven\u2019t. He\u2019s a native Nigerian out of the International Player Pathway program, and he genuinely might be the most naturally athletic human being walking the earth today. He\u2019s 21 years old, nearly 6\u20195\u201d, 306lbs, with nearly 36 inch arms and an outrageously explosive 10\u201910\u201d broad jump. Oh, and he ran a 4.63s 40-yard dash. The guy has been playing football for basically 10 seconds. Bring him in, develop him, and see what happens.<\/p>\n

The Titans are already getting ready to pack their bags for as many joint practices in training camp as they can schedule. Robert Saleh just has one rule. <\/p>\n

The Titans have plenty of positions to fill in the 2026 NFL draft, but there\u2019s one I\u2019m convinced nobody is giving enough attention. Here\u2019s why Robert Saleh\u2019s latest comments prove it, and how to draft the best fit for the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here is my Titans Mock Draft 6.0: A meat and potatoes draft class for Mike Borgonzi from a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[4955,7,3403,4002,6,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-852144","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-2026-nfl-draft","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-mike-borgonzi","11":"tag-mock-draft","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-tennessee","14":"tag-tennessee-titans","15":"tag-tennesseetitans","16":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116343233161483212","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852144","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=852144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
