The Tennessee Titans finished up the NFL's 2025 season with a 3-14 record after falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-7 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, in their Week 18 finale.
Heading into Week 18, the Titans were slated to have the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. With the regular season officially at an end, we now know the Titans will have the No. 4 overall pick in the upcoming draft.

At the conclusion of the early slate of games, the Las Vegas Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Following the Raiders are the New York Jets (lost to Buffalo) and the Arizona Cardinals (lost to the Los Angeles Rams). The Jets win the strength-of-schedule battle with the Titans, and the Titans defeated the Cardinals earlier this season, so both will pick ahead of Tennessee.
The Titans currently have eight picks in the draft, but having a top-five pick gives them an opportunity to add an impact player. Most mock drafts peg the Titans to select a defensive player like Miami's Rueben Bain or Ohio State's Arvell Reese, which isn't surprising given how the Titans' defense played this year.
But let's remember that the depleted secondary needs some serious love, and the offensive line needs bolstering. Ohio State's Caleb Downs, if available, would be a nice addition to the Titans' defense, and Miami's Francis Mauigoa is the top-ranked offensive tackle in the draft. Of course, there are others, but if we're looking specifically at the Titans' first-round pick, these are some of the names that will be tossed around.
Other names the Titans might consider are Spencer Fano (OT, Utah), Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama), Peter Woods (DL, Clemson), and Keldric Faulk (DE, Auburn). Some of these players won't be available when it's the Titans' turn, but Tennessee will have plenty of players to choose from, and many of them have the potential to have an immediate impact.

The remaining draft order will be determined as the playoffs continue and finalized after the Super Bowl.
