Tennessee's top pick could unlock dynamic offensive potential. A dynamic running back emerges as an exciting option for the Titans' quarterback.
The Tennessee Titans have plenty of options when it comes to the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
This team has a definite need for another starting edge rusher. Jermaine Johnson is on the roster after being traded from the New York Jets for T'Vondre Sweat.
Femi Oladejo is a candidate for the other starting edge rusher. His starting experience is limited, having played in only six games as a rookie before his season-ending injury.
Jacob Martin is another player the Titans could use there, since he's already familiar with what Robert Saleh's defense requires.
There can also be a case made for a receiver like Carnell Tate. The Titans could use more depth at the position with Mason Kinsey, Bryce Oliver and Hal Presley III as the reserve receivers for the Titans.
Linebacker Sonny Styles has also been mocked to Tennessee. He could be a player that Saleh could move around to take advantage of mismatches. John Franklin-Myers revealed that Saleh is accustomed to doing that with defenders.
Then, there is the option of taking the best player available. Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love could be that player with some of the needs the teams above the Titans in the draft order have.
The Las Vegas Raiders, Jets and Arizona Cardinals all need a quarterback.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has already stated that he doesn't believe the Titans will take Love, but that wasn't the case for NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah.
Jeremiah appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" and liked the idea of Love landing with Tennessee.
"I know, I saw Schefter's thing with you guys, and he said no on Tennessee," Jeremiah said. "Which, Adam's dialed in as much as anyone on Earth on that, but man, I look at Tennessee and think, don't you have to do something for your quarterback? Something to help him out here. You take him 1-1 overall. You got a chance to give him a player like this? And you're going into a new building as well in a year? That's an easy sales pitch, like, now we are a fun, exciting team with a young quarterback. A dynamic running back you throw in the mix. You can throw him the ball a ton as well. I love the fit there in Tennessee."
Love is a similar player to Tony Pollard, who can take pressure off the passing game while also being involved in it, catching passes out of the backfield.
Pollard has one more year left on his contract, and Love could be the next man up if the Titans decide to move on from him once it expires.
Could the running back be heading from South Bend to Nashville? Time will tell as April rapidly approaches.
