The Tennessee Titans are preparing for the NFL draft in 10 days, focusing on filling remaining team needs. A mock draft has been conducted using Pro Football Focus to project their selections across all seven rounds.
The NFL draft is only 10 days away, and information continues to flow about what teams will do when the first round rolls around on April 23rd in Pittsburgh.
Now it's time to look ahead at what the Tennessee Titans might do. The Titans have filled some needs, but still have some holes to address. While there is a lot of chatter, nothing is certain, making this a great time for the fourth Titans Wire mock draft.
We used the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator for this exercise and left all settings on their default values. We had no trades; we controlled only the Titans, and we projected a full seven rounds.
Here's how things played out:
Entering the draft, I had two players in mind, Bailey and Jeremiyah Love, and fortunately, Bailey was available. Even though the Titans added to their edge unit in free agency, a young and explosive edge to mix with Jeffery Simmons in Robert Saleh’s defense is a must.
Lance Zierlein scouting report:
Bailey is extremely hard for linemen to stay in front of. He moves like a slashing two guard, blending explosiveness and fluidity to slip, bend, and flow around blocks from multiple angles. His leverage and lower-body flexion create game-over scenarios once he reaches pocket depth, even with a minor lead. He can be stalled when a blocker latches his hands in deep, but Bailey’s elusiveness and suddenness make clean clamps a relative rarity. He’s instinctive with natural mid-rush counters, but he must continue developing hand usage and crafting rush plans for when protection shifts his way. Teams can run at Bailey due to his lack of anchor and take-on presence, but his work-around quickness will also lead to tackles for loss. His draft grade is slightly tempered by a lack of desired size/length, but the explosiveness and athletic talent is truly elite. His sack production should carry over to the NFL as an odd-front rush linebacker with Pro Bowl upside.
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.
After bolstering the interior of the offensive line to help protect Cam Ward, it was time to find a weapon, and Brazzell 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:
Long-limbed “Z” receiver with the ability to create downfield for an offense thirsty to make more explosive plays outside. Brazzell’s 2025 tape shows the game slowing down for him, allowing the production to catch up with the traits. He builds speed with long strides and dominates above the rim. He’s adept at using length and body control to capture air space against cornerbacks. He’s a more competent route runner than most field-stretcher types, but he needs to become more physical on contested targets underneath. Brazzell didn’t see many in-your-face press challenges this past season, but he’s likely to get an early taste of it as a pro. Two-high shells and zone-heavy looks can shrink his snap-to-snap impact, but the quick-strike potential is real.
After adding Pregnon to fill the need at right guard, I found a center in Jones, whose wrestling background should allow him to come in and compete early in his career.
Lance Zierlein scouting report:
Undersized but highly experienced with NFL-ready technique. Jones has a dense frame and short limbs. He has impressive initial quickness and stays firm inside the framework with his hands, while his feet rarely stop pressing forward. Long-nose tackles with quick hands are his kryptonite at the point of attack. Iowa’s scheme limited his true pass-set count, so proving he can anchor and play with gap range will be essential. He’s operational in gap schemes but better in zone, where his athleticism mitigates his lack of length. Jones’ age, traits, and center-only value could limit his suitor count, but he has the polish to help early with the right fit.
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.
The Titans add to their linebacking corps with the addition of York, who may lack the prototypical size but has the football acumen to come in and potentially develop into a rotational piece and core special teamer.
Lance Zierlein scouting report:
York is a defensive quarterback who aligns the front and leads by example with all-day urgency. He’s compact with thick thighs and good play strength, but struggles to hold up against/shed climbing blocks that find him. His short-area movement is choppy but efficient with quick acceleration to chase outside runs, but he lacks sustained speed. He’s in constant “trigger and close” mode but needs better diagnostic patience to avoid missed run fits. He will struggle holding up in man coverage. Linebackers with York’s size/length typically face uphill roster climbs, but his tape appears good enough to warrant a backup role with instant special-teams value.
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.
Once again, I went with the best player available, and Black fell into that spot. He may have an uphill climb to make the roster, but with his championship-winning pedigree, I would give him a shot.
Lance Zierlein scouting report:
“Get what is blocked” runner with good size and above-average aggression as a finisher. Black split carries in Indiana’s downhill attack and generally kept the run on its designed track. He lacks ideal burst and utilizes too many stutter-steps in processing the run lane while headed to the hole. He’s not elusive inside but will add yards with his tackle-breaking and fall-forward running style. Black is a grinder with below-average third-down value, but he could create competition for an RB3/4 role in camp.
Last season, general manager Mike Borgonzi talked about never having enough cornerbacks, and I followed that blueprint to complete this exercise. Hall has good size for the position and has flashed some potential.
Lance Zierlein scouting report:
Low-cut cornerback with fast feet, good balance, and a highly competitive spirit. Hall loves staying as tight to the route as possible and supports the run with ideal aggression. He has adequate press strength and is solid in matching releases, hugging man routes, and quickly closing to tackle from zone. Though he plays fast, he lacks long speed, and receivers can separate from him on vertical routes. He is twitchy to close but is more of a responder than an anticipator, limiting his on-ball production. Hall’s toughness against the run helps his cause as a likely Day 3 pick at nickelback.
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?
