Hims

7 total picks. First pick #4

Firing your head coach midway through any given season is pretty much always a good sign that something went very wrong. This was certainly true for the 2025 Titans, as there was very little to smile about other than some Year 1 flashes from Cam Ward, interior dominance from Jeffery Simmons and special teams goodness from the league's all-purpose yard leader Chimere Dike.

Good news: The Titans' dismal campaign (again) sets them up with a top-4 overall pick, and only the Chargers have more effective cap space to work with in free agency. Bad news: There are a LOT of problems to solve with this roster at the moment.

Team Needs and Targets

Pass Catcher: Getting in on the bidding for top-tier free agent options like Alec Pierce and Rashid Shaheed could be fun, while there should also be plenty of high-end talents in play at pick No. 4 (Carnell Tate?) and No. 35 (Chris Bell?). Hey, maybe the team could even do both! Reminder: The Titans currently boast the league's sixth-cheapest offense in terms of 2026 dollars.

Offensive Line: After spending big on LT Dan Moore last offseason and devoting early first-round picks to RT JC Latham (1.07) and LG Peter Skoronski (1.11) in 2024 and 2023, respectively, better performance is needed from a group that allowed 52 sacks (2nd most in the NFL) while also ranking among the league's bottom-10 offenses in yards per rush.

Cornerback: Better health from players like L'Jarius Sneed, Kevin Winston, and Xavier Woods would, though after the Titans joined the Cowboys as the only defenses allowing a triple-digit passer rating since 2024 more reinforcements from the draft would help.
