2026 4-Round Titans Mock Draft: Going all in on Cam Ward
There are just three games left in the 2025 season for the Tennessee Titans, who are 2-12 on the year and are once again in contention for the No.1 overall pick in April’s draft.
With the Titans’ season long over, let’s run through another mock draft. We took a bit of a different approach for this one, but still kept the same goal in mind: BUILD AROUND CAM WARD!!!

MOCK TRADE WITH ARIZONA CARDINALS
AZ Receives: Pick 3, 2026 Round 4 (103)
TEN Receives: Pick 8, Pick 40, 2027 Round 1
The Titans trade back from No.3 and acquire another Day 2 pick and a first next year. The Cardinals move up to the third pick and take their quarterback of the future to replace Kyler Murray. A trade that makes sense for both franchises.

Round 1, Pick 8 (VIA AZ): Carnell Tate, WR Ohio State
The Titans have some promising pieces at wide receiver, including Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. However, Cam Ward lacks a true No.1 weapon, and we’re gonna fix that problem here.
Tate has all the tools to be an All-Pro receiver at the next level. The Chicago native possesses excellent size at 6-foot-3, and is a tremendous athlete with under-the-radar speed.
In 10 games this year for the Buckeyes, Tate has tallied 48 receptions for 838 yards and nine touchdowns. The savvy receiver would fit perfectly with Ward and give Tennessee a bona fide top target for the future.

Round 2, Pick 37 (VIA AZ): Blake Miller, OT Clemson
JC Latham has had an up-and-down sophomore campaign, and the best course of action moving forward is to slide him inside and have the Alabama product play guard. Latham has played a handful of snaps at guard in college, and his skillset is best suited at that position.
If Latham moves to guard, then the Titans will have a glaring hole at right tackle. That will be filled by Blake Miller, who started four years at right tackle for Clemson and is a sound pass-blocker and violent in the run game. His experience will be a major plus and lead him to be a Day 1 starter.

Round 2, Pick 40: Gabe Jacas, EDGE Illinois
The Titans’ pass rush has disappeared at times this season, so let’s add the Big10 sack leader to the unit.
Jacas tallied 11 sacks and 41 quarterback pressures for Illinois in 2025, and his high motor makes him a potential Day 1 starter at the next level. Though he isn’t a great athlete, Jacas is still productive and could be a difference-maker for a Tennessee pass rush that has been pretty bad since 2021.

Round 3, Pick 67: Jadarian Price, RB Notre Dame
Tony Pollard has been better in recent weeks, but the Titans would save $3 million by cutting him as a post-June 1st designation this offseason, and the franchise should look to get younger at running back.
Insert Jadarian Price, who tallied 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns for Notre Dame this season despite splitting carries with Heisman Trophy candidate Jeremiyah Love. Price, who was also one of the best returners in the country this season, would form an electric duo with Tyjae Spears and give the Titans an explosive two-headed monster in the backfield.
