On March 27th, the Tennessee Titans are gearing up for the 2026 NFL draft with 9 picks, including the number 4 overall selection. They face needs a running back, center, guard, edge rusher and linebacker, so late round gyms could help fill those gaps. New head coach Robert Salah has already brought in some familiar free agents to steady the ship. One intriguing target is wide receiver CJ Daniels for Miami. He's an older prospect with strong sadness and elite contested kept skills, plus solid blocking. Scouts note his crafty route running, though he lacks top end speed and yards after the catch, which might make his path to the roster tougher. Meanwhile, linebacker Owen Heinecke from Oklahoma stands out for his athleticism at 6 foot 1 and 227 pounds. He's relentless with great pursuit speed and tackling instincts, fitting well as a nickelbacker or special teamer. His size is a knock, and he might stick around college another year. On the offensive line, tackle Travis Burke from Memphis brings massive size at 6 foot 9 and 325 pounds with long arms and top athleticism scores.

He shines in drive blocking with good leverage and aggression, but needs work on quickness and handling speed rushers. These late round options could pay off big for the Titans as they build depth and competition heading into the draft.
