Sportsvival is continuing its team-by-team look at the biggest needs in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the Tennessee Titans remain one of the more interesting teams near the top of the board. Tennessee holds the No. 4 overall pick after a 3-14 season, and the organization has already made major changes this offseason as it starts a new chapter under head coach Robert Saleh.
Additions: QB Mitchell Trubisky, WR Wan’Dale Robinson, TE Daniel Bellinger, C Austin Schlottmann, G Cordell Volson, CB Joshua Williams, CB Cor’Dale Flott, CB Alontae Taylor, DL John Franklin-Myers, DL Jordan Elliott, DE Jermaine Johnson II, DL Solomon Thomas, P Tommy Townsend, WR Bryce Oliver, LS Morgan Cox, K Joey Slye, DE Jacob Martin, DE Malik Herring and S Jerrick Reed II.
Subtractions: NT T’Vondre Sweat, C Lloyd Cushenberry III, S Xavier Woods and CB L’Jarius Sneed headline the departures, while Tennessee also moved on from a number of other veterans and depth pieces as part of its offseason roster reset.
The pattern in Tennessee’s offseason has been easy to spot. The Titans have been aggressive in adding veteran help across the roster, especially on defense, where Franklin-Myers, Jordan Elliott, Solomon Thomas, Jermaine Johnson, Jacob Martin and Malik Herring all strengthen the front. On offense, Trubisky adds experience at quarterback, Robinson gives the passing game another target, and Bellinger, Volson and Schlottmann add support at tight end and along the interior offensive line.
The Titans also made a major statement off the field by unveiling new uniforms, helmets and logos as part of the franchise’s next chapter. Tennessee said the redesign ties together the club’s history as the Oilers and its nearly three decades in Tennessee, with Titans blue jerseys as the primary home look and white jerseys as the primary road look.
Even after all of those moves, Tennessee still looks like a team with three clear draft priorities. Edge rusher tops the list because the Titans have added bodies, but they still need another true difference-maker off the edge. Wide receiver remains a need because Robinson helps, but Tennessee can still use more explosiveness and size. Offensive line also stays in the conversation because the Titans added interior help, yet the unit still does not feel fully settled.
That is why Sportsvival’s pick for Tennessee at No. 4 is Reuben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami. The Titans have already shown they want to reshape the front seven, and Bain would give them another high-end edge talent with power, burst and physicality. He fits the kind of identity Tennessee appears to be building, and he would give the defense a foundational piece at one of the league’s premium positions.
The fit makes even more sense when you look at how Tennessee has built the defensive line this offseason. Franklin-Myers brings interior pressure, Solomon Thomas adds depth and toughness, Jermaine Johnson gives the team another edge presence, and Bain would be the kind of long-term pass-rush piece offenses have to game-plan around. Instead of patching together pressure, the Titans could come out of this offseason with a front built to attack.
The Titans have made sweeping changes this offseason, reshaping the roster while embracing a fresh identity for the franchise. Now the draft gives Tennessee the chance to add one more cornerstone piece. If the Titans stay true to their offseason vision, Reuben Bain Jr. at No. 4 feels like the kind of selection that could help define the beginning of this new era.
