NFL free agency always alters a team's NFL Draft plans. That's especially true for the Tennessee Titans, who have added more than 12 new players during this acquisition cycle. General manager Mike Borgonzi has been among the biggest spenders.
The Titans have signed multiple cornerbacks. They added a high-priced interior pass rusher in John Franklin-Myers to play next to Jeffery Simmons. Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson adds a potentially high-volume weapon for Cam Ward, after he notched 92 catches a year ago.
Borgonzi will approach the 2026 NFL Draft with a clearer picture of the remaining roster needs. The Titans own the No. 4 overall selection and need a blue-chip player there. We've conducted a four-round mock draft that helps Borgonzi complete the rebuild.
Titans 4-round mock draft after a busy start to free agency
Round 1 (No. 4 overall): Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
Have the Titans raised the floor of their roster enough to consider taking Jeremiyah Love at No. 4 overall? In this scenario, Arvell Reese and Rueben Bain Jr. were off the board. The Titans select Love, pairing an elite running back with Ward. Vision, contact balance, speed, and passing-down ability help make up a three-down skill set.
Round 2 (No. 35 overall): Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
If the Titans don't draft an EDGE at No. 4, they should strongly consider one at 35th overall. Offseason additions Jermaine Johnson II, Jacob Martin, and Malik Herring aren't good enough to truly improve the room. Cashius Howell has historical deficiencies in the arm length department, but freakish speed and athleticism help serve as equalisers. Howell ran a 4.59 at the NFL Combine with the best 10-yard split at EDGE (1.58) and also recorded 11.5 sacks in the SEC this past season.
Round 3 (No. 66 overall): Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State
The Titans require additional size and athleticism at wide receiver. Georgia State's Ted Hurst is 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds. The small-school wideout ran a 4.42 and leaped a 36.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-3 broad jump. Hurst was effective at the Senior Bowl, proving he's well-equipped for better competition.
Round 4 (No. 101 overall): Trey Zuhn III, IOL, Texas A&M
The Titans cut Lloyd Cushenberry at center and signed a veteran backup in Austin Schlottmann. Early indications are Schlottmann and sophomore interior blocker Jackson Slater will compete for the role. That's a little uninspiring, and the Titans should add a rookie to the fray. Trey Zuhn III was a four-year starter at offensive tackle in the SEC, but is transitioning to center. Zuhn has moderate athleticism, but plays with the power and size Daboll is looking for.
