The Tennessee Titans moved up the No. 1 pick in the live 2026 NFL Draft order during their Week 10 bye week. Victories by the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints on Sunday greatly improved the Titans’
current draft positioning.
With that in mind, we conducted a three-round Titans mock draft using The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine (MDM).
Round 1 (No. 4 overall): Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami
trade: Titans acquire No 4, 2026 third-round pick (No. 69), 2027 first-round pick
trade: Browns acquire No. 1 overall
The Titans trade down with the QB-needy Cleveland Browns at No. 4 overall and acquire a 2026 third-round pick and 2027 first-rounder. Mike Borgonzi may command even more than this, but getting that 2027 first in a potentially historic class is crucial. Furthermore, the Titans still landed a premium edge rusher in Rueben Bain Jr. with the fourth selection.
Round 2 (No. 33 overall): Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
Calvin Ridley is a potential offseason salary cap casualty. Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor are playing like future solutions, but the Titans will need to acquire at least two starting-caliber receivers if they cut Ridley. Chris Bell is enjoying a big-time season at Louisville. Bell is a physical, sturdy receiver who excels at making plays after the catch.
Round 3 (No. 65 overall): Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State
If you watch the Titans on Sundays, you know cornerback is a massive offseason need. Jalyn Armour-Davis and Barrell Baker Jr. are temporary solutions for a terrible team that traded Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary. Furthermore, the Titans probably will cut L’Jarius Sneed this offseason. Chris Johnson is a small-schooler out of San Diego State who is generating top-64 buzz.
Round 3 (No. 69 overall): Jam Miller, RB, Alabama
The Titans address running back with the extra selection acquired from the Browns. Tony Pollard is another potential offseason casualty. If the Titans move on from Pollard, they’ll need another back to pair with Tyjae Spears and Kalel Mullings. Alabama’s Jam Miller has terrific explosiveness with good contact balance. He’s a physical runner.
