2026 NFL Draft: Titans Wire final 7-round mock draft

Round 2, Pick 35: Emmanuel Pregnon, guard, Oregon

There is no doubt that Pregnon has the talent to succeed in the NFL, but it is hard to pin down, given his stops at three different universities during his college career. At 6-foot-5, 318 pounds, Pregnon has the size and athleticism teams look for, and he could be a Day 2 selection that competes for a starting role early in his career.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Ultra-durable and experienced, Pregnon has the prototypical frame of a downhill blocker. He’ll get beat to first contact but usually reclaims the rep using well-placed hands, a broad base and upper-body power to displace and finish with authority. Range and foot quickness are average as a move blocker, and lead to block leakage against slants. In pass pro, he leverages his length well and is quick to detect twists/blitz development. Long pass slides and forward lunges invite counters from skilled, sub-package rushers, but protection isn’t a major concern. He’ll be an older rookie who projects as a good plug-and-play starter and immediate run-blocking upgrade.

Round 3, Pick 66: Bryce Lance, wide receiver, North Dakota State

After bolstering the interior of the offensive line to help protect Cam Ward, it was time to find a weapon, and Lance fit that need. A tall receiver that can win on the outside, he can add a different skill set and profile to what is already on the roster.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Fifth-year senior with two seasons of explosive production as a boundary target. Lance lacks release quickness/short-area agility as a route-runner but possesses outstanding ball skills and positional instincts that allow him to create catch space. He has run-by speed on the FCS level, but won’t be able to rely on pure gas to beat NFL coverage. He will have to spend more time polishing up his route work. Lance needs a more intentional route tree on the next level, but he’s smart, has good ball skills, and should compete for a role as a backup.

Round 4, Pick 101: Keyshaun Elliot, linebacker, Arizona State

Elliot may not be the most athletic linebacker in this class, but he is a true thumper with a chance to develop. He should be able to come in and serve as a situational piece and a core special-teams player.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Big, productive inside linebacker lacking the athletic traits to make enough plays on the next level. Elliott has earned praise for his exceptional work ethic and football character. His instincts and reaction time are average, though. He can be heavy-handed when taking on blocks, and his execution is inconsistent. His pursuit speed to the sideline is too heavy-footed in pass coverage and in open-field tackling. His pathway will need to be as a physical thumper who can star on special teams.

Round 5, Pick 142: Jager Burton, center, Kentucky

The Titans continue to attack the interior of their offensive line with an experienced center, who made a Top 30 visit during the pre-draft process. Versatile, with the ability to play both guard and center, he could come in and compete early on.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Durable fifth-year senior who has made 47 consecutive starts. Burton is built to play center but could offer swing potential at guard. He has adequate play strength and good quickness for a zone-blocking scheme. He gets beaten to first contact by length and will struggle to put up a sustained fight against two-gappers at the point. He can slow a bull rush, but needs to do a better job of protecting his edges and operating with consistent posture. Burton’s best fit will be with a zone-heavy running game as a late draft pick or undrafted free agent signee.

Round 5, Pick 144: Charles Demmings, cornerback, Stephen F. Austin

The Titans may have added to their cornerback room during the offseason, but they can never have enough talent in their secondary. Demmings has the size and skill set to develop behind the depth the team brought in during the offseason.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Demmings is capable of mixing into a variety of coverages but is at his best starting from a press look. He has the hips/feet to match route breaks and the speed to stay with routes as they unfold. His recognition and instincts are average from off coverages, and he can be a step slow to drive on throws in front of him. While Demmings lacks ideal play strength and is not a firm tackler, his ball skills and man-cover consistency could land him a roster spot as a future CB4 with gunner potential.

Round 6, Pick 184: Jeff Caldwell, wide receiver, Cincinnati

Once again, I went with the best player available, and Caldwell fell into that spot. A tall, developmental receiver with intriguing traits, his stock has been on the rise after an outstanding combine, and he likely won't be here on draft weekend.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Caldwell is a developmental prospect with promising traits and a need to improve fundamentals. He’s a long-strider with the ability to create separation vertically, but his route-running is underdeveloped, and he needs tutoring on how best to set up routes. Caldwell’s contested-catch rate is disappointing for a player with his size and ability. Coaching should help create more advantages in that area, but he might need to ratchet up his competitiveness on 50/50 balls, as well. His production at Cincinnati won’t excite, but his NFL Scouting Combine performance shows there could be more upside to unlock, which makes him worthy of a middle-round pick as a backup “Z” receiver.

Round 6, Pick 194: Ar’maj Reid-Adams, guard - Texas A&M

After filling multiple needs, I grabbed Reid-Adams, who was the top player on the board. An experienced offensive lineman, he can come in, develop into a depth piece, and add competition.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Sixth-year senior guard with NFL size and length. Reed-Adams is an adequate athlete in small spaces. However, he loses effectiveness when forced to venture beyond home base. As a downhill blocker, he uses size to compensate for his lack of leverage, but he’s missing the contact balance and body control to sustain with consistency. He lacks command in pass protection but maintains a feel for the rusher’s movement. He usually finds his anchor against a bull rush, but his inconsistency as a processor leads to mistakes against gaming fronts. Reed-Adams has a chance to earn a spot as a backup.

Round 7, Pick 225: Robert Spears-Jennings, safety, Oklahoma

Last season, general manager Mike Borgonzi talked about never having enough defensive backs, and I followed that blueprint to complete this exercise. Spears-Jennings has good size for the position and has flashed some potential.

Lance Zierlein scouting report:

Spears-Jennings is a two-year starter with NFL traits. He has the size and toughness of a pro safety. He’s quick to dive in and fill the run near the line. He’s a sound tackler once he’s lined up, but inconsistent tracking angles and a lack of body control cause him to mistime his target. He has plus coverage tools but lacks feel in man coverage and suffers from a lack of awareness playing from depth. The traits and special-teams talent should buy him time to prove himself a competent backup playing near the line.

Pro Football Focus grade: A-

With a bias toward their own internal rankings, an incomplete "team needs" list, and an emphasis on positional needs matching pick value, Pro Football Focus gave Titans Wire’s first mock an outstanding grade to kick things off.

We know what PFF thinks, but what about you, Titans fans? Would you be happy with this draft, or would you go a different direction?
