Tennessee

Titans

Hill will join a rebuilding Tennessee defense now headed by head coach Robert Saleh. Hill Jr. (6’2/238) is a high-impact second-level defender who posted 63 tackles with 11 havoc plays, 5 TFL and 4.0 sacks across 10 games while delivering an elite 95.5% tackle rate. He was weaponized as a blitzer, generating 15 pressures on just 81 rushes (18.5% pressure rate) with 3 sacks created and a 2.68 time-to-first-pressure, flashing sudden closing burst and disruptive timing. Hill added 10 run stops with a 68.3% run tackle share, showcasing his ability to trigger downhill, slip blocks and finish in space. In coverage, he allowed just 82 yards on 16 targets with 0 TDs and a 14.2 passer rating allowed, pairing range with efficient route recognition. He projects as a three-down MIKE/WILL hybrid with game-wrecking versatility, though continued development in stack-and-shed consistency and play strength versus NFL size will determine whether he reaches his All-Pro ceiling or settles into a high-end starter tier.

The versatile lineman will join Robert Saleh’s defense in Tennessee. Faulk (6’6/285) delivered a strong and versatile season off the edge for Auburn, posting 44 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 11 run stops across 12 games while playing with laudable technique against the run. His 91.7% tackle efficiency and a 70.5% run tackle share, metrics that aligned with an 85.5 PFF run defense grade, made him Auburn’s most reliable edge setter. As a pass rusher he was more of a steady compressor than a pure closer, generating 29 pressures on 294 rushes (9.9% pressure rate) with 27 first pressures and a 66.0 PFF pass-rush grade, but only finishing with two sacks. Faulk ran a promising 90th-percentile 4.67s 40-yard dash with a 35” vertical (85th%), but his 17 bench reps was a disappointing 24th% mark. Still just 20 years old, Faulk is a bonafide trench stabilizer who projects to carry a high run-defense valuation with pass rushing upside at the next level if he can harness his natural physical gifts.

Although he never reached 1,000 yards during his three years in the Buckeyes’ perennially loaded receiver corps, Tate (6’2/192) emerged as one of college football’s cleanest perimeter separators last season. The now 21-year-old turned 67 targets into 51 receptions for 875 yards (17.2 YPR) and nine touchdowns with a 76.1 percent catch rate. That’s eye-popping efficiency. Tate was particularly lethal downfield, converting 11 deep receptions into six scores, posting a zero percent drop rate in the process. Tate’s ability to consistently create explosive gains was reflected in his 85.7 percent contested-catch rate and top-tier 147.7 passer rating when targeted deep. He provided true three-level value. Tate also showed strong situational reliability, posting 35 first down conversions on 51 receptions, a 68.6 percent chain-moving rate. On the whole, he averaged a stellar 3.03 yards per route run, torching man (3.12 yards per route run) and zone coverage (2.71) alike. With polished ball skills, pro-ready route pacing, down-field economy, and no glaring usage red flags, Tate projects as a high-floor, high-efficiency NFL X/Z hybrid who can immediately step into a starting role to help Cam Ward and an offense that finished 30th in scoring last season.

Howie Roseman, working the phones? You don’t say. The Eagles’ general manager is always on the lookout for a smart trading opportunity. His team holds the No. 23 overall pick, the No. 22 pick in Round 2 and the Nos. 3 and 34 picks in Round 3. The Browns are set to pick sixth and 24th in Round 1, seventh in Round 2 and sixth in Round 3. The Titans hold the fourth, third and second picks in Rounds 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Fowler’s phrasing is unclear, but it sounds like all three teams could be seeking to move Day 2-plus picks to sneak into the back end of Day 1.

We now have five reported top-30 visits for Bailey. He previously met with the Cowboys, Chiefs and Cardinals. Bailey was scheduled to meet with the Jets as well, but the team cancelled the visit because they had “all the information they already needed.” The Titans pick at No. 4 overall, and the Commanders pick at No. 7. A top-four pick may be required to snag Bailey.

There had been talks earlier in the offseason of the team working to extend their veteran offensive lineman but it appears as if the two sides fell short in a resolution, ultimately leading to the team exercising their fifth-year option. Skoronski took a massive step forward in his third professional season, ending 2025 with the sixth highest composite grades amongst guards. Expect the two sides to continue contract discussions into the new year as the Titans continue their rebuild with eyes on the future.

Ward continues to rehab an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, suffered in the 2025 season finale. He spent the early portion of the 2026 offseason improving his “base and consistency in footwork” and was cleared to resume throwing in mid-March. The Titans will host a voluntary minicamp from April 21-23. Organized team activity workouts dot the calendar through May and early June. The mandatory minicamp that Ward has a chance to participate in is scheduled for June 16-17. Stay tuned.

Allen, 33, spent last season with the Titans and has previous stops with the Broncos, Bengals, and 49ers. The former sixth-round pick has seen little action since 2020, when he threw for 925-5-4 in five games with the Bengals and attempted just 30 passes for the Titans last season, throwing for 72 yards and a pick. If he were to make the 53-man roster, Allen would likely serve as the Giants’ QB3, with Jameis Winston the presumed backup to Jaxson Dart this upcoming season.

Per Wolfe, the Titans could also target a pass rusher with the No. 4 overall pick. He adds that multiple teams list Love as the best player in the 2026 NFL Draft. Many would argue that spending a top-five pick on a running back is an improper use of resources for a rebuilding team, but the Titans’ front office could simply view him as a foundational player.

The Jaguars do not use top-30 visits. They prefer to keep their pre-draft information gathering under wraps. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone during his nine-year run with the Rams. Daniels revealed his meeting with the team in a recent interview. He has also met with the Titans, Broncos and Panthers. Daniels posted a 50/557/7 receiving line in his fifth and final college season. Shipley believes Daniels (6'2/202) could provide a big-bodied, physical element that is currently missing in the Jaguars’ wide receiver room. The Jaguars notably tried to sign Seahawks WR Jake Bobo (6'4/207) earlier this offseason.
