Yahoo Sports

Former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum took a look at the draft, and believes the Tennessee Titans should look to the trenches.

The time is almost here, and in seven days, all of the mock drafts and speculation can be thrown out the window when the commissioner walks to the podium to open the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. The Tennessee Titans remain a mystery with what they will do, and have been connected to multiple prospects over the past few weeks. Jeremiyah Love, Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese, David Bailey, and even Carnell Tate have all been mentioned as being a target with the fourth overall selection.

While those are the prospects who could hear their name called, there has even been some chatter about potentially trading back to acquire more draft capital. With the NFL draft almost upon us, networks are turning to everyone ever connected to the NFL for their hot takes on what is about to transpire. The latest was ESPN, which featured former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, who examined the Titans and their draft plan and offered a different take.
