A rundown of the Tennessee Titans' 2026 Draft Class
Tracking the trades that got the Titans their picks
Round One, Pick 4 – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
He’s going to get open with well-run routes. He’s going to make contested catches. He can get away from people at the line of scrimmage and at the top of routes. But Tate doesn’t have the high-end speed or the run-after-catch/contact you’d like in the first receiver off the board.
Round One, Pick 31 (Trade up) – Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn
Big and long, he fits the mold of what the Titans want at the position and immediately embraced their fast and violent attitude. Credit to him for acknowledging his production shortcomings in his final season at Auburn, when 30 pressures produced on two sacks.
Round Two, Pick 60 (Trade up) – Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas
Hill filled up the stat sheet at Texas with impressive pass-rushing numbers while also making plays in coverage. Robert Saleh has helped lift the games of many off-the-ball backers, and Hill said he is fired up to absorb the coaching and fit into that mold.
Round Five, Pick 142 – Fernando Carmona, G, Arkansas
Not a particularly great athlete, but plays mean and with leadership. Moved from tackle to guard at Arkansas, knowing where he’d project in the NFL and said he likes the phone-booth game. Will have a chance to compete for the open right guard job, where Cordell Volson and Jackson Slater are also in the mix.
Round Five, Pick 165 – Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
A fast, productive back who set records at Penn State. He’s coming off a foot injury suffered in Senior Bowl practices. He didn’t run a 40 because of that, but he’s been clocked at 23.6 mph. A capable pass catcher, he could press Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears for carries.
Round Six, Pick 184 – Jackie Marshall, DE, Baylor
A twitchy, quick inside rusher who’s better at getting to the passer than he is against the run as he enters the NFL. In 37 games, he had 13 tackles for a loss and five sacks, though he appeared more consistently disruptive than that. The eighth legit defensive lineman the Titans have added this offseason.
Round Six, Pick 194 – Pat Coogan, C, Indiana
Played in the 2025 National College Championship for Notre Dame and then won it in 2026 after transferring to Indiana. High-level leader who went to high school with Carnell Tate. Not a high-level athlete and has short arms, but had the toughness, durability and determination that might prove enough.
Round 7, Pick 225 – Jaren Kanak, TE, Oklahoma
A run-first high school quarterback, who then played three years as a linebacker for the Sooners. He realized his heart, and maybe his pro chance, was on offense and moved to tight end for his senior year when he caught 44 passes for 533 yards and a 12.1 average.
