The Tennessee Titans selected Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Mike Borgonzi then traded back into the first round to select Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk. As expected, there’s a ton of talent remaining heading into Friday’s second and third rounds. The Titans won’t pick until 66th overall now after their move for Faulk. We’ve identified five potential targets.
The Titans must strengthen the interior of their offensive line. Chase Bisontis was a borderline first-round prospect who is still available, and the Titans hosted him for a pre-draft visit. Bisontis would be plug-and-play at right guard as an immediate starter.
Linebacker isn’t the Titans’ biggest need, but Jacob Rodriguez is an excellent prospect at the position. Head coach Robert Saleh could use another high-end linebacker next to Cedric Gray to truly transform his defense. Rodriguez is a proven prospect with a ton of athleticism and recent (2024-25) production.
The Titans hosted cornerback Treydan Stukes on a pre-draft visit. He’s been described as a surefire second-round pick by various NFL insiders. Stukes plays that “BIG NICKEL” position. The Titans invested in cornerbacks in free agency, but unproven sophomore Marcus Harris is the current nickel.
Oregon blocker Emmanuel Pregnon is another potential right guard starter if Zeitler isn’t coming back. Pregnon was elite on tape this past season. He’s a legitimate people mover with overwhelming power in the trenches. The Titans should possess interest given the current state of their interior offensive line.
The Titans still need a nickel cornerback to potentially compete for snaps with Marcus Harris. Miami’s Keionte Scott is an instinctive cornerback with a high football IQ and rare playmaking ability. Drafting Scott would arguably complete a Titans secondary that also added Alontae Tayor, Cor’Dale Flott, Joshua Williams, and Tony Adams this offseason.
Potential alternatives: Jake Golday (Cincinnati, LB); CJ Allen (Georgia, LB); D’Angelo Ponds (Indiana, CB); Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas, LB); Zakee Wheatley (Penn State, S); A.J. Haulcy (LSU, S); Jake Slaughter (Florida, IOL); Chandler Rivers (Duke, CB); Sam Hecht (IOL, Kansas State).
