Another year...another list to be mindful of. Important Notes: - Every Team meets with just about every prospect at the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl - New Titans DL/Running Game Coordinator Aaron Whitecotton was the DC for the East Team (Among the top players he got to coach includes; Texas Tech S Cole Wisniewski, LSU LB Harold Perkins Jr., LSU LB West Weeks, Texas A&M LB Taurean York, Navy DL Landon Robinson, Florida State DL Darrell Jackson Jr., Duke EDGE Wesley Williams, Oklahoma EDGE Marvin Jones Jr., Toledo CBs Andre Fuller & Avery Smith, and Cal CB Brent Austin.

Now that most of the major FA moves are done, we should have a pretty clear picture of what the Titans need heading into the draft. My guess is they take Love at #4. After that, I think the focus in the 2nd and 3rd rounds will be on: pass rusher (possibly more of a situational speed rusher / OLB type, just don't see that happening at 4) interior OL WR There’s also a decent chance they target a MLB somewhere in that range. I do believe Okereke is still a possibility. They may be waiting to see how the draft board falls before making that move. If that’s the case, Styles could still be in play at #4 (even if personally don't like it) but Love is the preferred option. And if the go into the draft w/o one and don't draft one high, there's still a possiblity they draft one early. I'm tempting to put MLB on the list for the 2nd/3rd round instead of edge or WR. I just can't myself to value it that highly. I expect the Titans will still sign Zeitler, but probably later in the offseason so he can skip most of the minicamp work. If that happens, RG isn’t really a concern heading into the draft. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already a wink/nod agreement there. At WR, I’m pretty sure they’ll draft someone, but I think the team probably feels better about the group than most of us do with Ridley, Robinson, and Ayomanor. Because of that, it may end up being a BPA situation rather than a must fill need early. Right now, center is probably the biggest question mark on the roster, which is why I expect them to address it somewhere in the 2nd round. What are your thoughts? Lock them in now.

I can hear it now, 8 years into the past. Muck up for Marshall!

Here we go again. With Tankathon already switching its site over to 2026 Draft coverage its time to start the thread here. Looking at some of the articles and way too early mock drafts it looks like this next upcoming class could be all about the QB/EDGE/OT and really needs some WR to have breakout CFB seasons otherwise it could be another underwhelming WR class. Specifically on the Titans EDGE1 looks to be the biggest projected need with a lot more work to be done at CB/WR and DL depth. As we sit here right now here is the Titans current 2026 Draft Capital Titans 1st Round Pick Titans 2nd Round Pick Titans 3rd Round Pick Titans 4th Round Pick No 5th Round Pick (Traded to the Rams for Ernest Jones) Titans 6th Round Pick Rams 6th Round Pick (This needs to be confirmed as it was reported as being conditional) Titans 7th Round Pick Chargers 7th Round Pick (As part of the Elijah Molden trade)

Full article:

If we can pull off a trade back with say Cleveland in round 1 and get picks 6 and 21 then it should be for EDGE and WR In that scenario WR still likely walk away with either Bain or Reese at EDGE at 6 and for that second 1st we should be looking at Chris Bell or Denzel Boston Theres no way Tate drops that far and Lemon is a slot for of WR and we have Dike who can play there and looks like a future stud Ayo isn't looking like the X WR need YET and while there's still hope for that to happen we still have a pressing need at that #1 WR spot. Watching Bells game his game reminds me of Dez Bryants. 6'2 and 200+lb and runs a 4.4 Denzel Boston is another guy im looking at and he's another big WR who just catches everything and is a really good route runner at 6'4 210lb with 4.4 speed a well I would think of both of those WR are gone this pick would turn into either OL or CB with DT a dark horse

Since I have started to lean back twords wr as being the possible pick I thought we could do the wr version of the other thread.

I started this as a review on Arvell Reese but the opportunity to evaluate Styles and Downs was too much to pass. All-22 is not as easily available as it was last year but I was able to watch Texas, Penn St., Miami, and Indiana. I saw a couple from 2024 as well. These are individual player evals that go into the draft tiers listed below. I hope to give my full draft board matrix by mid-March. Draft Tiers Tier 1: Top Pick... 6.60 - 7.00 [Generational/Rare Prospect. HOF expectations. Not available in most drafts.] Tier 2: Top 4 Pick... 6.35 - 6.59 [Immediate Starter. Elite traits with minimal weaknesses or risks. Franchise foundational player with All Pro trajectory] Tier 3: Top 12 Pick... 6.34 - 6.05 [First Year starter. Has some top 1/4 NFL level Traits. "Pro Bowl" upside. 2nd contract and long term starter expectations with drafting team] Tier 4: Solid 1st Round... 6.04 - 5.75 [Early career starter with above average traits. May have limitations, but nothing exploitable. Expected reliable starter who will likely receive a 2nd contract from any team] Tier 5: Late 1st/Early 2nd... 5.74 - 5.55 [High level starter traits. Has positional value drawbacks or has development/consistency issues that may result in a delayed timeline. Reliable contributor in rookie season] Tier 6: 2nd Round... 5.54 - 5.25 [Starter pathway. Functional traits with observable ceiling or limitation. Expected to develop into a starter level player by end of second year] ---- Ill stop it there and will present the rest later. What you find is the majority of draft prospects fall around the 3rd round level. At the top of the draft most drafts do not contain a generational prospect and very few "top 4" level prospects. Most of your very top prospects in any draft fall into the top 12 category. Im not sure how many overall prospects will get a 1st round grade for this draft but my initial estimate is that it'll be low-- around fifteen. --- Moving onto Ohio State. Incredible talent on that team. The fun part of studying prospect's game tape is that you cant help but notice other players. For example Caden Curry, a likely day 3 guy who will absolutely be a contributor on someone's roster as a backup. Others include 2027 prospects like Jeremiah Smith (of course-- hes incredible), Peyton Pierce, even the young OL Joshua Padilla.. So much high end talent. Indiana had NO business winning that game. Curt Cignetti made it a slow, low scoring game and then played the ball control and clock game. --- The evaluation I use is improved on what ive done in year's past and models what some scouts use to evaluate prospects. After I give my overall grading using observable criteria I then send it through a formula that adjusts the prospect's grade based on modifiers. I'll save the minutiae of the math but those modifiers account for projection (indicators of more development or untapped ability), probability (risks associated with selecting a player based environmental factors impacting his development), and timeline. It also accounts for any potential red flags (medical, behavior, size, etc.). Finally it adjusts for positional value based on my assessment and how I think Tennessee values positions. I am admittedly a traits guy, even over production. That's not to say i dont value production-- i do. I think production speaks more to evidence and probability of present traits that will lead to future success. I evaluate LBs using five overall overall categories (which contain multiple subcategorie): Mental Processing, Run Defense, Coverage, Pressure/Disruption, Physical Traits. For safeties I use Mental Processing, Playmaking/Ball Skills, Coverage, Run Defense, Pressure/Disruption, Physical Profile/Movement Skills, Versatility/Role Value. ---- Long read I know, but I wanted to give the background and explain what everything means up front. Its been enjoyable reviewing some of these prospects. Love it, like it, hate it.. Hopefully it drives some discussion.

Well this sucks.

This app uses PFRs AV metric to rank the last 9 draft classes. Also it distinguishes the value of players only while on the drafting team (net draft av) and including seasons they may have played elsewhere (net career av) https://jgmcd2.shinyapps.io/draftshinyapp/ If you believe there is a conspiracy to blackball QC you definitely should not look at the legendary 2020-2022 run!

Would give Cam his X receiver, anyone here follow Huskies that can chime in? If we don’t get Alex Pierce, could be an option with a trade down.

Alright fellas. Who we looking at? I’m a homer so I’m particularly interested in Brazzell from UTK. He has tantalizing size and speed. Basically the same size as Randy Moss and George Pickens. Also interested in Carnell Tate in the event of some trade downs and multiple first round picks. That Vandy tight end would be nice as well with a later pick.

David Bailey like a heat seeking missile brings down Moore for a sack.

Figure we should keep this going throughout today. EDGE David Bailey making his impact early in the first game.

I know it's only the first game of the season but he looks like absolute trash so far. Poor decision making, terrible throws, nothing that remotely resembles a top prospect.

Very good pick. We were linked to him in the past couple of weeks. He's a raw uber athletic player with great football character that everyone raves about.

@titanskick8851thought I would leave this here for you lol

Watching him in the game against Texas. So far Sayin missed him being wide open went they went for it on 4th, but he came back on the following drive and dropped the hell out of two passes. Idk if it's because I'm watching him, or if this is a thing for him but he'd fit right in on the Titans dropping easy balls like that.

As a transfer from Washington State to a talented but floundering football program, I expect him to have similar success and receive a large boost to his draft stock because of Ward. This all hinges on Ward performing well as a rookie in the NFL, which shouldn't be an issue.
