In the final episode of Music City Audible before the 2026 NFL Draft, hosts Justin Graver and Justin Mello break down the Titans' potential pick at #4, analyzing four possible scenarios: Jeremiah Love going #3 (increasing trade-down odds), Love going #3 with a trade-up for an edge rusher, Love being available at #4, or a trade down to #12 or #13. The hosts strongly believe Love is the most logical pick at #4, citing his elite explosiveness, low risk, and ability to elevate Cam Ward’s offense. They dismiss Sonny Stiles as a likely #4 pick, citing multiple sources and logical inconsistencies with the Titans’ need profile. The discussion dives into draft strategy, the value of running backs versus edge rushers, and the importance of timing in team-building. The hosts also address fan engagement, birthday wishes, and the emotional weight of the draft process, culminating in a mock draft simulation of the entire first round. They conclude that the Titans’ best path is taking Love at #4 or trading down for future assets, with a strong preference for Love despite strategic counterarguments.
Jeremiah Love is the most likely pick for the Titans at #4 if he’s available, due to his elite explosiveness and low risk.
The Titans are unlikely to take Sonny Stiles at #4; he’s more plausible in a trade-down scenario.
If Love goes #3, the Titans’ odds of trading down increase significantly, especially if a premium edge rusher is available.
The draft strategy debate favors Love over edge rushers due to the scarcity of elite running backs in the top half of the first round.
The Titans’ best option at #35 is a high-upside second-round talent like Jacob Rodriguez or Chris Johnson, not a capped ceiling edge rusher.
