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.
Titans Planned On Moving Ahead Of Texans To Draft G Keylan Rutledge
The Texans were originally scheduled to select 28th overall during the opening night of the draft. Houston pulled off a trade with the Bills to move up to move up two spots, however.
After acquiring pick No. 26, the Texans selected guard Keylan Rutledge. The Georgia Tech product will be counted on to play a key role in upgrading the team’s offensive line, a unit which has been the subject of considerable turnover this offseason. Rutledge was a candidate to wind up elsewhere in the AFC South, though.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports the Titans attempted to trade up in the first-round order and move ahead of Houston in the process. He adds the goal of such a move was to acquire Rutledge. As a result, Texans GM Nick Caserio‘s decision to swing a modest trade proved to be a rather prudent one.
“Moving two spots was more of positioning that anything else,” Caserio confirmed (via Wilson) when speaking after the first round. “We felt like there could potentially be some interest in the player, so we felt like: ‘Alright, let’s move a couple of spots.'”
Rutledge saw his stock rise over the course of the pre-draft process, and it came as little surprise when he was one of several offensive linemen selected during the late stages of the first round. He is among the many new faces Houston will have up front in 2026, a year in which improved play will once again be a key team objective. The Texans will aim to advance past the divisional round of the playoffs, and consistent O-line play will be central to that effort.
The Titans did indeed trade back into the first round despite the Rutledge setback. Tennessee acquired pick No. 31 (also by swinging a trade with the Bills, for that matter) and used it on Auburn defensive end Keldric Faulk. How the team will operate along the interior of the offensive line will be worth watching closely over Day 2 and 3 since the Titans were clearly interested in pursuing a guard addition.
Titans Obtain No. 31 From Bills, Select DE Keldric Faulk
Make that three first-round trade-downs from the Bills. This time, Buffalo has traded out of Round 1. The Titans are moving up to No. 31.
The Titans will send Nos. 35, 66 and 101 to the Bills in exchange for Nos. 31, 69 and 165, ESPN’s Field Yates tweets. Tennessee drafted edge rusher Keldric Faulk out of Auburn. The Bills moved from No. 26 to 28 to 31 to 35, accumulating some picks following their D.J. Moore trade (which cost a second-round pick).
Faulk will join a gaggle of ex-Jets defensive lineman in Tennessee. Robert Saleh has acquired Jermaine Johnson and Solomon Thomas via trade while signing John Franklin-Myers and Jacob Martin in free agency. The Faulk plan certainly appears to be a starting role alongside Johnson, Franklin-Myers and Pro Bowl D-tackle Jeffery Simmons.
This draft slot is in line with where NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah placed him on his big board, which slotted the Auburn pass rusher 29th. Faulk is much bigger than Johnson, who is barely 250 pounds. The SEC product weighed in at 276 pounds at the Combine, where he measured 6-foot-5. He will be an interesting complementary piece to the former Saleh first-round Jets draftee (Saleh and then-Jets GM Joe Douglas traded back into Round 1 to draft Johnson in 2022).
As our Ely Allen noted in his PFR mock draft, Faulk “isn’t your typical potential-without-production prospect. It’s not that he looks the part and has the physical tools but just can’t put it together on the field; he is just, seemingly, always right around the play, disrupting it, but hardly ever the one finishing it. The 21-year-old has plenty of room to grow.” Saleh also may find use for Faulk as an inside rusher from time to time, as the Tigers deployed him as such at points.
Faulk did tally seven sacks as a sophomore in 2024, but he only totaled two last season. After 11 tackles for loss in 2024, Faulk produced only five in ’25. Tennessee is changing schemes, moving to a 4-3 defense after years in a 3-4 alignment. The team let Arden Key walk in free agency and will count on Johnson and now Faulk picking up the slack alongside Simmons and Franklin-Myers, who signed a three-year deal worth $63MM to come over from Denver.
Titans Select WR Carnell Tate At No. 4
The first receiver has come off the board early. Ohio State’s Carnell Tate has been selected fourth overall by the Titans, a team long seen as a candidate to make a defensive investment at this spot.
Some teams reportedly considered Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson the top receiver in the draft, but Tate has won out and will become a key weapon for second-year quarterback Cam Ward. The Titans spent the first overall pick in last year’s draft on Ward, but a poor supporting cast contributed to a difficult rookie season for the Miami product.
Hoping to make life easier for Ward, Tennessee has added Tate and free agent pickup Wan’Dale Robinson to its receiving corps this offseason. They will also bring back veteran Calvin Ridley and second-year wideouts Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor. The Titans’ Tate-led receiving corps will work with an established offensive coordinator in Brian Daboll, one of new head coach Robert Saleh‘s most important hires. As the Giants’ head coach in 2024, Daboll helped then-rookie receiver Malik Nabers to a 109-catch, 1,204-yard year after they chose him sixth in the draft. The Titans will hope for a similar impact from Tate.
The 6-foot, 192-pound Tate earned a reputation as an excellent route runner in his three years at Ohio State, where he caught 121 passes and 14 touchdowns in 39 games. Stuck behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka as a freshman, Tate only managed 18 receptions and a score. His production took off after those two left for the NFL. Although Tate played second fiddle to future pro Jeremiah Smith from 2024-25, he averaged 52 catches, 804 yards and seven touchdowns per year. The sure-handed Tate did not drop a pass in 2025, per Pro Football Focus.
Tate is now the latest Buckeyes wideout to exit the board in the first round in recent years, joining Egbuka, Harrison, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. All of those players have enjoyed successful careers in the pros.
The Titans were expected to use their top pick on either a receiver or an edge defender. Having landed a pass catcher, they could turn their attention to the other side of the ball with their next selection (No. 35).

Titans Still Considering Sonny Styles?
A Wednesday report indicated the Titans might be down to going wide receiver or edge rusher with the No. 4 overall pick. Jeremiyah Love may well be in play there, though he has been increasingly linked to the Cardinals at No. 3. Closing the door on Sonny Styles here may also be premature.
The Titans have considered Styles here, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who adds the Commanders have also spent a lot of time with the Ohio State linebacker. Washington’s Styles visit came before his other reported “30” summits. The Commanders, however, sit three spots behind the Titans in the draft order.
If the Titans choose Styles at 4, it would mark the earliest an off-ball linebacker has come off the board since Aaron Curry went fourth overall to the Seahawks in 2009. Robert Saleh has certainly been tied to impressive linebacker play, having coached Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, C.J. Mosley and Quincy Williams. The Jets never addressed this position before Round 5, however, during Saleh’s time as the team’s HC.
Tennessee has not made a surefire addition to its starting linebacker at the ILB spot this offseason, however. Returners Cody Barton and Cedric Gray remain in place, with ex-Browns contributor Mohamoud Diabate added on a one-year, $1.63MM deal. Still, this would be rather early to take an off-ball LB. As our Adam La Rose noted in his most recent mailbag, Styles’ versatility and presence as a blitzer have helped him vault to this spot as a likely top-eight pick. And he would fill a need in Tennessee, where NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah has him going in his final mock.
Another gameplan here would be either taking Love — which ESPN’s Matt Miller has them doing — and addressing the ILB spot on Day 2. That would help the Commanders, though the Giants have been linked to Styles at multiple points at No. 5. Washington, which has been closely tied to going defense at No. 7, has not re-signed Bobby Wagner; though, the team did sign ex-Chief Leo Chenal (three years, $24MM) last month. The Cowboys have been tied to Styles in a trade-up move, however, and Cleveland has been regularly linked to moving down from No. 6. Ely Allen’s PFR mock has Styles heading to Washington at 7.
Titans Could Choose Between Edge, WR With Fourth Overall Pick
The Titans are set to pick fourth in this year’s draft, but trading down may be a best-case scenario for the rebuilding club. If the Titans stay put, though, they are expected to select either an edge defender or a wide receiver, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
The Titans are fans of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, but there is a real possibility the Cardinals will take him third overall. That would leave Tennessee to look for help at other positions. Edge defender and receiver are sensible targets for a team that needs better players at both spots.
The Titans finished last season a respectable 12th in sacks (42), but a team-high 11 came from defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. While they also got a combined 8.5 from edge defenders Dre’Mont Jones and Arden Key, both players are now on other teams.
As part of an offseason defensive overhaul, new Titans head coach Robert Saleh has reunited with one of his former Jets D-ends, Jermaine Johnson. The Titans do not have much else at the position, which could lead them to Texas Tech’s David Bailey at No. 4. The Jets are expected to pick Ohio State linebacker/edge Arvell Reese over Bailey at second overall. If that happens and the Cardinals choose Love, the Titans would be free to grab Bailey. Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. also looks like a fit for the Titans on paper, yet they are reportedly out on him.
As for receiver, the Titans made a sizable free agent investment in former Giants slot wideout Wan’Dale Robinson, whom they brought in on a four-year, $70MM pact. They also restructured Calvin Ridley‘s contract, setting him up to stick around for at least another year, but he endured a disappointing, injury-ruined 2025 and will turn 32 in December. As fourth- and sixth-round rookies last year, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor posted respectable numbers. But the Titans could still use a legitimate game-breaker at the position. Finding one early in the draft should make life easier on second-year quarterback Cam Ward.
No receivers are expected to go in the top three, which would allow the Titans to snag the best pass catcher on the board with their first pick. If the Titans are leaning offense over defense, their decision may come down to Ohio State’s Carnell Tate versus Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson.
WR Omar Cooper Jr. Met With Titans, Browns, Ravens, Eagles
Between the end of a dream season at Indiana and the upcoming NFL draft, wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. met with a dozen teams, he told Josina Anderson of The Exhibit (link to the full interview). We covered most of them in recent weeks, but visits with the Titans, Browns, Ravens and Eagles were not previously reported. To no surprise, Cooper also met with the Colts at their local pro day.
Aside from the Colts, who are without a first-round pick, any of those teams could target Cooper early. While Cooper once looked like a potential second-rounder, his stock has risen in the pre-draft process. There are some teams that consider Cooper the second-best receiver in a class that also includes Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Both Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com (No. 17) and Dane Brugler of The Athletic (No. 22) rank Cooper firmly in the top 25 among available prospects.
Cooper redshirted as a freshman in 2022 and then combined for a modest 46 catches over the next two seasons, but he averaged an excellent 21.2 yards per grab and scored seven touchdowns in a 28-reception 2024. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza transferred from California to Indiana last year, which went down as easily the greatest season in Hoosiers history. Mendoza hoisted the Heisman Trophy, the Hoosiers went undefeated and won the national title, and Cooper was his QB’s favorite target.
Primarily playing out of the slot in 2025, Cooper pulled in 69 passes for 937 yards and 13 TDs to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors. He also forced 27 missed tackles, most among any receiver in this class. The belief is Cooper will have the flexibility to line up in the slot and on the outside in the NFL.
All of the teams mentioned above may consider Cooper a fit, but some look like more realistic landing spots than others. The Titans need a receiver and are set to pick fourth, though it would be a shock for Cooper to go that early. However, if the Titans trade down, a Cooper selection could make more sense.
Meanwhile, there are few teams (if any) that are worse off than Cleveland at receiver. The Browns might move down from No. 6, and they also have a second first-rounder at No. 24.
The Ravens are scheduled to pick 14th, where they could find a complement to No. 1 receiver Zay Flowers, and the Eagles may address the position at 23rd overall. The Eagles have a more-than-capable top four of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks, but A.J. Brown’s days in their uniform appear numbered. Perhaps Cooper will help fill the void if a seemingly inevitable Brown trade occurs before the season.
NFL Draft Trade Rumors: Cowboys, Browns, Titans
The first-round of the 2026 NFL Draft is only four days away, and rumors persist concerning a wild Day 1 of potential trades. The Cowboys have been a frequent subject in trade rumors, with many asserting that the team could be looking to trade up into the top 10.
The consensus belief is that, even without a trade, the Cowboys’ two first-round picks will be used on defense. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports believes new defensive coordinator Christian Parker will have some influence on the team’s draft plan, which should guarantee two new first-round defenders. Jones asserts that, if the team does trade up, the trade won’t include their second first-rounder, considering they won’t be picking again until pick No. 92. NFL insider Jason La Canfora posited that the trade up target for Dallas could be LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane or Ohio State safety Caleb Downs.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler confirms that all eyes are on the Cowboys, who many expect to be eager to move up “due to obvious defensive needs.” So far, though, Dallas has not been “overly active” on the phones just yet. He reports the team is “open-minded about (a) potential move but also (is) comfortable staying put.”
Here are a few other draft rumors concerning teams looking to trade on Day 1 of the NFL draft:
- The Browns could be a target for Dallas if they do decide to move. Per La Canfora, Cleveland is widely expected to drop out of the top 10 picks. The team currently holds pick Nos. 6 and 24 in the first round of the draft, but even that may not be enough to fill the holes on their roster. The Browns are notorious for trading down, and if the sixth overall pick doesn’t present a strong chance at major improvement, they may move to add some additional draft capital.
- As Fowler mentioned above that the Cowboys had not been active on the phones, he did report a belief that the recent phone work around the league seems to indicate that the Titans could be looking to trade back from the fourth overall pick. A year removed from landing the No. 1 overall pick, Tennessee still has quite a few holes on the roster. Some have connected the team to Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love or Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles in recent predictions. Earlier on in process, it was rumored that a reunion between quarterback Cam Ward and college teammates right tackle Francis Mauigoa or defensive lineman Rueben Bain Jr. was in the cards. Love and Styles may make sense in their current slot, but moving back may allow Tennessee to target Mauigoa or Bain.
