About this Episode

The Tennessee Titans aim to bolster their defense and offense in a recent mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft. They project selecting Texas Techs David Bailey with the fourth overall pick to enhance their edge rush. Baileys impressive senior year, including leading the FBS with fourteen point five sacks, aligns with the Titans requirements.

In the second round, they draft Alabamas Germie Bernard at pick thirty-five, adding a reliable weapon for quarterback Cam Ward. The Titans continue their strategy in the third round, selecting Cincinnatis Jake Golday at sixty-six, and in the fourth round, they add Kansas States Sam Hecht at one hundred one. These moves aim to compensate for the loss of defensive end Arden Key in free agency and strengthen the team for the upcoming season.

Draft.

Analysts project them grabbing Texas Tech outside linebacker David Bailey with the fourth overall pick to boost their edge rush.

Bailey had a standout senior year, leading the FBS with 14 and a half sacks, combining power and speed that fits the Titans needs even after.

They traded for Dermain Johnson the second.

Meanwhile, the Titans add Alabama-wide receiver Jeremy Bernard at pick 35 in the second round.

He racked up 8-62 yards and 7 touchdowns last season, giving quarterback Cam Ward a solid weapon.

In the third round at 66, they take Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday, who posted 3.5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss and 3, passes defense.

Then in the fourth at 101, Kansas State Center Sam Heck joins, allowing just 7 pressures all year.

These moves address the loss of defensive end, arden key and free agency, while surrounding Ward with playmakers setting up Tennessee for a stronger push next season.
