Titans Obtain No. 60 From Bears, Draft LB Anthony Hill Jr.
The Bears are moving out of No. 60 overall, giving the Titans that selection. Tennessee is sending Chicago Nos. 69 and 144, according to NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero.
Tennessee is adding Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. with the late second-rounder. Daniel Jeremiah’s No. 37 overall prospect, Hill lasts to 60 and will head to a Titans team that was closely linked to Sonny Styles in Round 1. Tennessee instead chose one of Styles’ teammates, wideout Carnell Tate, and addressed its LB room tonight.
Hill joins holdovers Cody Barton and Cedric Gray. The Titans signed Barton last year, with GM Mike Borgonzi in place but Chad Brinker controlling the roster. They added Gray in the 2024 fourth round, when Ran Carthon was GM and Brian Callahan HC. Saleh and Borgonzi are now runnign the show in Nashville, and it would stand to reason Hill will be viewed as an early-career starter — if now a Week 1 first-stringer.
Hill is the first off-ball linebacker to be a Titans draftee in the first or second rounds since Rashaan Evans‘ Round 1 arrival eight years ago. Saleh also did not draft a linebacker on Days 1 or 2 during his Jets run, though he has extensive experience developing standouts at the position — as the careers of Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw and Quincy Williams show.
The 6-3, 238-pounder filled the stat sheet during Texas’ run to the CFP semifinals in 2024. Hill totaled a team-leading 113 stops, along with an SEC-most 16.5 tackles for loss. He added eight sacks and four forced fumbles. That production led to a number of accolades, including first-team All-SEC and All-American honors. Hill remained highly impactful against both the run and pass in 2025, although a broken hand left him sidelined for the final two games of the season.
This came after Hill earned Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors in 2023. The Titans are certainly acquiring an experienced college LB, who finished his Longhorns career with 17 sacks despite playing just three seasons. Despite this experience, Hill is just 21. The Titans will gauge his readiness beginning in rookie minicamp.
Cowboys Arrange Several Pre-Draft Visits
Like all teams, the Cowboys are busy lining up visits and workouts with prospects in this year’s draft. A list of early targets in Dallas’ case has emerged. 
Omar Cooper Jr. is set to visit the team today, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Indiana wideout is one of many receiving first-round consideration. Investing heavily at the WR position with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in place would come as a surprise, although Pickens’ future beyond 2026 is unclear. The Cowboys own picks 12 and 20 in this year’s draft.
Adding on defense is widely expected to be a priority for Dallas after the team’s struggles on that side of the ball in 2025. Several moves have already taken place early in the new league year, and more are no doubt coming via the draft. Clarence Hill Jr. of All City DLLS notes the Cowboys had dinner with linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. in advance of Texas’ Pro Day. Logan Wilson recently retired, while Kenneth Murray is unlikely to be retained. Jack Sanborn departed in free agency, meanwhile, creating the need for starting options and depth at the second level of Dallas’ defense.
Hill, who racked up 31.5 tackles for loss and 17 sacks in three years with the Longhorns, could certainly help if the Cowboys choose to draft him. The team’s secondary has also been a focus so far in free agency, with multiple cornerback additions being made. That has certainly not stopped interested from being shown in some of the top prospects at the position, however.
The Cowboys will also spend Thursday hosting Miami’s Keionte Scott, ESPN’s Jordan Reid reports. Scott began his college career in the SEC, spending three years at Auburn. His transfer to the Hurricanes proved impactful for team and player. Scott returned both of his interceptions for touchdowns in 2025 while adding a pair of forced fumbles, 13 tackles for loss and five sacks. One of this year’s top slot CB options has also lined up a visit with the Commanders.
In addition to their two first-round picks, the Cowboys own six other selections in April’s draft. That will provide the team with ample opportunity to add one or more impact rookies while aiming to avoid a repeat of how last season played out.
Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr. Declares For Draft
Anthony Hill Jr. will be among the prospects available in April’s draft. Per an announcement from the Texas linebacker, he has elected to turn pro. 
As a true junior, Hill could have remained in place with the Longhorns for 2026. Instead, that year will represent his rookie season in the NFL. Hill will no doubt be among the top options at the linebacker spot during the pre-draft process.
In 2023, Hill emerged as a key presence on Texas’ defense, making 14 appearances and six starts. He was named Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year and also took home Freshman All-American honors. Expectations were raised in Hill’s case for his follow-up seasons with the Longhorns moving to the SEC, and he delivered.
The 6-3, 238-pounder filled the statsheet during Texas’ run to the CFP semifinals in 2024. Hill totaled a team-leading 113 stops, along with 16.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks and four forced fumbles. That production led to a number of accolades, including first-team All-SEC and All-American honors. Hill remained highly impactful against both the run and pass in 2025, although a broken hand left him sidelined for the final two games of the season.
Now, Hill’s attention will turn to the pre-draft process. If things go well on that front, he could be one of the top defensive prospects in the 2026 class. There is of course plenty of time for things to change, but for the time being Hill is ranked 33rd overall by ESPN and fourth in terms of linebackers.
