2026 NFL Draft

The Titans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tacario Davis fell into slot 142.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 26 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 3 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nice patience on Dillon Thieneman, who had no business lasting to slot 49. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at the 82nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
You do not let a running back like Jonah Coleman reach pick 101 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They robbed the room for Elijah Sarratt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Tacario Davis in the 142nd pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
CJ Daniels at pick 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value with a capital V on Mason Reiger in the 152nd overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Kage Casey slipping to slot 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Domani Jackson at Round 6, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Marlin Klein at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
They let Jimmy Rolder come to them and pounced at pick No. 225. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
