Who Titans Pick in Latest 2027 Mock Draft Post Jeffery Simmons Trade

The Tennessee Titans have two first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft. 

The Titans are picking second, with the Los Angeles Chargers still having the worst record in the NFL. The Titans got their other first-round pick from the Jeffery Simmons trade. 

They'll also have an extra first-round pick in 2028 thanks to the Chicago Bears. 

If things continue this way, the Titans' No. 2 overall pick will depend on who the Chargers take. Jeremiah Smith is going to be available, so the Titans may need a backup plan in case Carnell Tate's college teammate gets taken before them. 

That backup plan was revealed in the latest 2027 NFL Mock Draft from Fox Sports' Rob Rang. He did a mock draft of the first round and predicted the Titans' two picks. 

He had the Chargers taking Smith, which made sense. The Chargers have Justin Herbert in place at quarterback. He hasn't had the best season, but putting all the blame on him isn't fair. 

After losing Simmons to the Bears, the Titans need another productive pass rusher on the defensive line. Rang had the Titans swapping out one Simmons for another. 

With the No. 2 overall pick, the Titans selected Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons. Jermaine Johnson and Jacob Martin have been reliable on the edge so far, but this would be a solid pick for the future of the franchise. 

Simmons has missed a few games due to injury this season but is still without a doubt the best edge rusher in the class. He leads all of college football with 16 sacks and 10.5 TFLs. It's not going to be easy for the Titans to replace Simmons' production, but adding the Texas product is a good start. 

After taking Simmons, the Titans wouldn't have to wait much longer to make their next pick. Rang had the Titans sticking with defense at No. 28 overall. 

He had Tennessee going with Ole Miss defensive tackle Will Echoles for their next pick of the first round. 

Echoles has shown the ability to get after quarterbacks and be a run stopper at the college level. He's recorded 99 total tackles, 18.5 TFLs and eight sacks in his college career. If his skills can translate to the next level, the Titans will be in good shape on the defensive line. 

There's no telling what will happen from now until next April. We don't even know how the Bears will finish the year, which will definitely impact the Titans second first-round pick. 

For now, we can entertain ourselves with mock drafts before the 2027 NFL Draft commences.
