2026 NFL Draft: Updated Titans mock draft
TL;DR
The Tennessee Titans are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft with a focus on key early picks to enhance their playoff chances. They are projected to select EDGE David Bailey from Texas Tech in the first round and Kevin Concepcion from Texas A&M in the second round.
Last season we saw Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward get a trial by fire in the NFL with some bumps and bruises along the way. But now the Titans head into 2026 with a fresh start, some great additions via free agency and a chance to be a legit playoff contender if they can nail these early picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.
First round - EDGE David Bailey - Texas Tech
The difference between David Bailey and Rueben Bain is negligible in our draft grades, but we give Bailey the nod here on measurables and production last season. Bailey is a game-wrecker who played in the backfield last season.
Second round - Kevin Concepcion - Texas A&M
We love the addition of Wan'Dale Robinson to go with Eli Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley but Ridley isn't getting any younger and Concepcion is a great safety net receiver for a young quarterback.
Third round - G Keylan Rutledge - Georgia Tech
Landing a starting guard in the third is a bargain. The Titans added Cordell Volson but Rutledge, who is an upgrade and could be ready to start Week One.
Fourth round - RB Emmett Johnson - Nebraska
The Cornhuskers asked a lot of Johnson last season and he delivered. There are always a few running backs who far outplay their draft slot and Johnson is going to be that guy. He can work inside and outside, is a solid pass protector and an exceptional receiver out of the backfield.
