Where Titans Would Pick in 2027 NFL Draft if Season Ended in Week 9

The high from the Tennessee Titans first win of the season didn't last very long. 

The Titans were able to pick up their first win under Robert Saleh against the Indianapolis Colts, 26-20. Since then, the Titans have come back down to Earth in their last two games. 

The Titans looked like they were going to upset the Cleveland Browns at Nissan Stadium in Week 7. Tony Pollard scored twice in the first quarter to give the Titans a 14-0 lead. 

The Titans let the lead slip away in the second quarter as they went into halftime down 17-14. Tennessee tied the game at 17 after holding Cleveland scoreless in the third quarter. 

The Browns woke up and took the lead back with a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Titans tied the game late at 24, but gave the Browns too much time for a game-winning field goal. 

It took the Browns four plays to get into field-goal range and end the game. 

Then, the Titans had to rebound quickly after losing Jeffery Simmons in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The team responded well in Week 8, taking a 13-0 lead over the Cincinnati Bengals. 

That lead didn't last either. The Titans and Bengals battled for four quarters and overtime, but Cincinnati eventually came out on top in a 43-36 defeat for Tennessee on the road. 

The good news this weekend is that the Titans can't blow another first-quarter lead. They are on a bye week, as they have a chance to get healthy after losing multiple starters like J.C. Latham, Peter Skoronski, Marcus Harris and Kevin Winston Jr. to injury during the game. 

It also gives us a chance to look at the current 2027 NFL Draft order. The Titans are 1-7 but still don't have the worst record in the NFL. That title belongs to the Los Angeles Chargers, who are 0-7. 

So, as it stands, the Titans currently have the No. 2 and No. 28 picks in the first round of next year's draft. The Chargers still hold the top pick since they have yet to win their first game. There are some new faces in the top five. 

The Colts would be in the top five if it weren't for the Sauce Gardner trade from last year. The New York Jets sent Gardner to the Colts for two first-round picks. 

Since the Colts are 2-6, this means that the Jets now have picks No. 4 and No. 5 in the 2027 NFL Draft. 

The Washington Commanders are holding on to the No. 6 pick at 1-4-1. The Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles are still in the top 10 at 2-5. The New Orleans Saints have the No. 9 pick. 

The Dallas Cowboys would have the No. 10 pick had it not been for their trade with the Jets for Quinnen Williams. The Cowboys gave the Jets their 2027 first-round pick for Williams, so New York has three picks inside the top 10. 

There's still a lot of time left, but it looks like the Titans are going to draft higher than they did back in April when the 2027 NFL Draft rolls around.
