Grading every Titans pick in the 2026 NFL Draft

The 2026 NFL Draft has wrapped up, and the Tennessee Titans and general manager Mike Borgonzi added eight new draftees to the roster as they continue to work their way back into contention. Overall, the Titans were aggressive and did a great job of grabbing talent while filling some critical needs with experienced players. While it will take some time to fully grasp the full impact of this class, it is the era of hot takes and instant analysis, so like every other outlet, Titans Wire has decided to hand out our grades for this haul.

The Titans’ draft class has been one of the more polarizing ones across the medium spectrum, ranging from an A+ to a C-, and while in the end those mean nothing, it does make for an interesting read. Here is how we broke down all eight of the Titans' selections: Round 1: WR Carnell Tate - Grade: B+ Hopefully, Tate outperforms this grade and shows the talent to do so. A big outside receiver, who has shown the ability to get deep and be a reliable target in traffic, he should be able to come in and secure a starting role early.

Yes, there are some questions about his measurables, and he didn’t participate in some of the combine drills, but his tape shows a dynamic threat who has improved throughout his career. Round 1: Edge Keldric Faulk - Grade: A- Faulk has the size and demeanor to develop into a dominant player in Robert Saleh’s defense, although there is some room to grow. He’s coming off a down year in terms of sacks as compared to 2024, but he took on a bit of a different role in 2025.

Already a solid run stuffer, he has a high ceiling and should be a Day 1 starter. Round 2: LB Anthony Hill Jr. - Grade A+ Hill was a tremendous value for the Titans when they traded up to get him.
