On April 25, the Tennessee Titans pulled off another trade-up in the 2026 NFL draft, shipping pick 69 and 100, 44 to the Chicago Bears for pick 60. They snag Anthony Hill Jr., the linebacker out of Texas, right there to plug a huge hole at inside linebacker. This marks their second move like this in the draft, after grabbing Keldrick Falk just last night. Coming in, no one saw them burning draft capital twice, they're usually all about hoarding those picks. Fans and analysts are buzzing because word was, they chased sunny styles in the top five for that spot. Instead, landing Hill late in the second round screams Smart Value, beefing up the defense without overpaying. Heal balled out in college, posting 8 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss in 2024. His 2025 dip to bid to 4 sacks and 7 tackles for loss, but he snagged two interceptions too. Titans front-off is locked in on these exact players, stacking the linebacking core early
and keeping their rebuild on track. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today, I'm Corey with the story.
