Menâs Basketball: Long Beach State G Gavin Sykes commits to TCU
Long Beach State guard Gavin Sykes commits to TCU for next season.
The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and have significant roster needs, including EDGE rusher, interior offensive line, and wide receiver. General manager Mike Borgonzi is expected to choose between several prospects to address these gaps.
Mentioned in this story
The Titans have two excellent defensive linemen in Jeffery Simmons and John Franklin-Myers, but they do not have a dynamic EDGE rusher. They acquired Jermaine Johnson II via trade, who is on a one-year prove-it deal. Right now, the Titans may be overly reliant on contributions from , , and Femi Oladejo at the position. Itâs a huge need, and precisely why Reese or Bailey would be strongly considered at No. 4.
The Titans' biggest needs include EDGE rusher, interior offensive line, and wide receiver.
The Titans are expected to choose between running back Jeremiyah Love, linebacker Sonny Styles, or pass rushers David Bailey and Arvell Reese.
The Titans finished the previous season with a record of 3-14 for the second consecutive year.

The Titans have created holes at right guard and center this offseason. Kevin Zeitler, a solid 2025 starter, has not been re-signed and is still available in free agency. Lloyd Cushenberry was released due to a failed physical designation. Brian Daboll currently has Austin Schlottmann, Jackson Slater, and Cordell Volson at right guard/center. Not great! Unless the Titans re-sign Zeitler after the draft, they need to draft at least one starting-caliber linemen.
There are split opinions here. The Titans have five roster-worthy wide receivers in WanâDale Robinson, Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Bryce Oliver. Robinson was signed to a big contract and Ridleyâs deal was restructured to keep him around. However, the Titans lack a clear-cut No. 1 option and Ridley wonât be here in 2027. Investing in Cam Ward means finding him a dynamic wideout to grow with.
Though Jeremiyah Love is among the favorites at No. 4 overall, running back isnât a big-time need. The Titans are in an adequate position with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears on the roster. The backfield lacks dynamic ability and both Spears and Pollard are entering contract years, and both were acquired by Ran Carthon.
Robert Saleh is a defensive minded head coach with a rich history of coaching and developing linebackers. Despite that, the Titans didnât do anything notable at linebacker this offseason. Coach Saleh is surely excited about inheriting Cedric Gray after his breakout season, but Cody Barton, James Williams, and Mohamoud Diabate are less inspiring.
