Titans SELECT Ohio State WR CARNELL TATE at Pick # in the 2026 NFL DRAFT and Auburn DE Keldric Faulk
The Tennessee Titans selected Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Thursday, April 23.Tate stands at 6-foot-2, 192 pounds and will aim to be a threat for quarterback Cam Ward as Tennessee looks to build upon its offense.
Last year, the Titans took Ward in the first round. Wisely, they took a wide receiver in the first round this year to pair with him.Last season with the Buckeyes, Tate had 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games. He missed three games with an injury.
With the No. 31 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected Auburn defensive end Keldric Faulk, becoming the next first-round pick to join the Titans after they picked WR Carnell Tate No. 4 overall.
The Titans picked Faulk after trading up with the Buffalo Bills to No. 31 overall. The Titans gave up picks Nos. 35, 66 and 101 in exchange for picks Nos. 31, 69 and 165. As a result of the trade, the Titans will only have one pick on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
Faulk, at 6-foot-5 and 274 pounds, is a power rusher off the edge, filling a need the Titans have for edge defender but not finding the bendy, hyper-athletic type of rusher the Titans were thought to be coveting. Faulk only registered two sacks in 2025 at Auburn despite hype that had him as a potential top-10 pick coming into the season.
