The NFL trade deadline has passed, and general manager Mike Borgonzi and the Tennessee Titans made two major moves that directly affect their 2027 NFL Draft capital by trading Jeffery Simmons and Amani Hooker.
Tennessee now owns nine picks overall, including two first-round and two second-round picks this year, and if the season ended today, five would be in the top 67 picks in this upcoming draft.
Here is the Titans’ current 2027 pick inventory:
Round 1: Own pick (projected top of the draft)Round 1: From the Chicago BearsRound 2: Own pickRound 2: From the Buffalo BillsRound 3: Own pickRound 4: Own pickRound 4: From the Chicago BearsRound 5: Traded to BuffaloRound 6: Own pickRound 7: Own pick
While Tennessee did trade away its fifth-round pick in
the Hooker deal with the Buffalo Bills, nine picks are still plenty of capital for the Titans to add to their roster and jumpstart the rebuild. The Titans will have multiple needs entering the offseason, but much of what happens will hinge on Cam Ward’s development over the second half of the season.
Ward will be coming off his best game as a professional and will have to show the consistency needed to be a franchise quarterback in the league; by standing pat and keeping Tony Pollard at the deadline, the organization is doing everything it can to give the offense a chance to succeed.
The Titans will be back on the field Wednesday afternoon to start preparations for their Week 10 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
