Titans Pass on Bain, Seek Speed Edge Rusher

0:00It's April 7th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in NFL. NFL DRAP analyst Daniel Jeremiah says the Tennessee Titans aren't eyeing Miami defensive lineman Ruben Bain Jr. for the 2026 draft. Bain was once seen as a top overall pit candidate, but now questions about his size and short arms have scouts thinking he's more of a defensive. Tackle then an edge guy. His college tape tells a different story though. In 2025, Bain racked up 83 quarterback pressures and 37 runstops per pro football focus. He straight dominated the college football playoff with 24 pressures and 5 sex over 4 games, helping Miami to run her up. The Titans did their due diligence, meeting Bain at the NFL Combine in February and setting up a private visit after his pro day. With the fourth pick, they're hunting a speed edge rusher to fit their defense in names like Texas Tech's David Bailey and Ohio State's Arvel Reese. Keep popping up as better matches.

At 3 being a wildcard, maybe another edge, or an offensive weapon, Bain's power is elite, but without that speed and length, he might not plug right into Tennessee's plans. As the Titans crunch final evaluations leading into April 23rd at 7pm, central time, it'll come down to fit over flash, leaving Bain on. The board, while they chase their perfect edge piece.
