Summary
A three-round 2027 mock draft sends Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to Tennessee at No. 1 overall, with the Titans currently holding the top slot after five weeks.
An 0-5 record and a strength-of-schedule tiebreaker over the Chargers and Dolphins have Tennessee projected to pick first, forcing a choice between supporting Cam Ward and replacing him.
The projection passes on a quarterback because the 2027 class has not impressed so far, with Arch Manning and Dante Moore cited as underwhelming options.
Round 2 adds Louisville edge rusher Clev Lubin after 8.5 sacks in 2025 and four more in 2026, while Round 3 targets BYU running back LJ Martin as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears near free agency.
The mock frames Tennessee's broader problem as a roster needing pass-rush help and a stronger run game even if the franchise gives Ward one more season in 2027.
