2026 NFL draft: Tennessee Titans select TE Jaren Kanak in Round 7

The Tennessee Titans selected tight end Jaren Kanak with their final pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

The Tennessee Titans finished off their 2026 NFL draft class by selecting Oklahoma tight end Jaren Kanak with their seventh-round pick, No. 225 overall. Kanak profiles as a special teams dynamo, who enters the draft after transitioning from a high school quarterback to college linebacker, and eventually tight end.

While there have been flashes, and he shows good hands, he is raw as a receiver and lacks the size to be an effective blocker. This pick screams John โ€œBonesโ€ Fassel, who would look at his varied background and skill set to potentially develop into a special-teams standout. This concludes the Titans' 2026 draft class, and general manager Mike Borgonzi appears to have once again infused some much-needed talent into the Titans roster.

There was clearly a focus on character and football acumen in this draft, along with a best-player-available approach early on. The Titans' roster currently stands at 86 players, and there will be a chance to add at least a couple more prospects before any roster moves are needed.
