The Tennessee Titans face a pivotal decision at the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, with FanDuel Sportsbook odds favoring Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love (+100) as the top choice. The Titans, fresh off drafting quarterback Cam Ward with the top pick in 2025, are again selecting in the top five amid another rebuilding phase.

While the Las Vegas Raiders are all but certain to select Indiana quarterback Francisco Mendoza with the first pick, the New York Jets (No. 2) and Arizona Cardinals (No. 3) remain uncertain. Tennessee’s options at No. 4 include bolstering Ward with an elite weapon or addressing defensive needs under new head coach Robert Salah, whose background is on that side of the ball.

Why Jeremiyah Love Leads the Titans’ Draft Odds

Love’s big-play ability has made him the clear frontrunner in FanDuel’s 2026 NFL Draft market. SB Nation’s James Dator projects the Titans selecting Love in his latest mock draft. Tennessee has a history of drafting elite running backs, including Derrick Henry, Chris Johnson, and Eddie George, fueling fan optimism that Love could be the next franchise cornerstone.

There’s also the potential for a trade. If another team covets Love (or another prospect) at No. 4, Tennessee could trade down to accumulate additional draft capital—a logical move for a franchise still in rebuilding mode.

Defensive Prospects in Play for Tennessee

If Love isn’t available, the Titans may pivot to defense to align with Salah’s expertise. Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey (+600) is a strong candidate, currently favored at No. 3 (+120) but also a viable option at No. 4. Another rising name is Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles (+650), whose stock has surged recently after Tennessee GM Mike Borgonzi praised him in a press conference. Styles climbed from +800 odds and fourth place to the third option in FanDuel’s market.

Ohio State’s duo of wide receiver Carnell Tate (+800) and linebacker Arvell Reese (-190) also factor into the Titans’ considerations. Reese is heavily favored for the No. 2 pick, but Tate could appeal if Tennessee seeks a young No. 1 receiver to complement Ward.
