The Tennessee Titans ended the 2025 NFL season with a 3-14 record after losing 41-7 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Week 18 finale at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.
Entering Week 18, the Titans are projected to have the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the regular season officially over, we now know the Titans will receive the fourth overall pick in the upcoming draft.

At the end of the early game, the Las Vegas Raiders received the No. 1 pick in the draft. Following the Raiders are the New York Jets (lost to Buffalo) and Arizona Cardinals (lost to the Los Angeles Rams). The Jets won a power play against the Titans, who beat the Cardinals earlier this season, so both will be selected ahead of Tennessee.
The Titans currently have eight picks in the draft, but having the top five picks gives them a chance to add an impact player. Most mock drafts have the Titans selecting a defensive player like Miami’s Reuben Bain or Ohio State’s Avre Reese, which isn’t surprising considering how well the Titans’ defense has performed this year.
But let’s remember that the tired secondary needs some serious love and the offensive line needs strengthening. Ohio State’s Caleb Downs would be a great addition to the Titans’ defense if available, while Miami’s Francis Mauigoa is the highest-ranked offensive tackle in the draft. Of course, there are other names, but if we were looking specifically at the Titans’ first-round picks, these are some of the names that would be thrown out.
Other names the Titans could consider include Spencer Farno (Utah), Kadin Proctor (Alabama), Peter Woods (DL, Clemson) and Keldrick Faulk (DE, Auburn). Some of those players won’t be able to play when it’s the Titans’ turn, but Tennessee will have a ton of players to choose from, many of whom have the potential to make an immediate impact.

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