Titans Target Ted Hurst in NFL Draft

On April 13, the Tennessee Titans dodged a bullet on wide receivers by keeping Calvin Ridley,

so now they're not rushing for a top draft pick there. Instead, Buzz is building around small

schools stand out Ted Hurst from Georgia State as a mid-round target in the 2026 NFL draft, likely.

Around pick 66 in the third round, that move shifts their focus down the board since Hurst ranks

between mid-second and mid-third on some boards, but with about a dozen receivers ahead.

Of him, he should slide right to them without much drama. Titans fans see this as smart depth

building, especially at the ex-receiver spot where Alec Iomanoor had just an okay rookie year,

and lacks a real, back up if he gets hurt. Hurst steps in as that big physical option they crave.

Scouts love Hurst's tape, he's nearly two inches taller and faster than Iomanoor,

plus he poses stellar 9.90 RAS score, edging out. Iomanoor's 9.71, his athleticism lets him flex

between X and Z roles too. If they nail their first two picks, grabbing Hurst, locks in a versatile

duo with Iomanoor and slot guy Robinson, setting up a nasty receiver trio for years to come.
