Titans’ 2026 Draft Selections and RAS Scores
The Tennessee Titans concluded the 2026 NFL Draft with an eight-player class that included two first-round picks: edge rusher Keldric Faulk (pick 31) and wide receiver Carnell Tate (pick 4). The remaining selections spanned the second through sixth rounds, covering linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., offensive guard Fernando Carmona, running back Nick Singleton, defensive tackle Jackie Marshall, center Pat Coogan and tight end Jaren Kanak.
Draft Strategy and RAS Overview
General manager Mike Borgonzi entered the three-day event with a “clear plan of attack,” targeting need positions while adding athletic upside. The Relative Athletic Score (RAS) system, which grades a player’s measurable testing on a 0-10 scale and ranks the result against historical data for the same position, was used by analysts to gauge the physical potential of each pick.
Data & Statistics
- Keldric Faulk (DE, 1st round, pick 31): 9.11 RAS, ranking 203 of 2,257 edge rushers (1987-2026).
- Anthony Hill Jr. (LB, 2nd round, pick 60): 9.81 RAS, ranking 66 of 3,480 linebackers.
- Fernando Carmona (OG, 5th round, pick 142): 8.42 RAS, ranking 302 of 1,904 offensive guards.
- Jackie Marshall (DT, 6th round, pick 184): 8.77 RAS, ranking 281 of 2,278 defensive tackles.
- Pat Coogan (C, 6th round, pick 194): 6.80 RAS, ranking 236 of 735 centers.
- Carnell Tate (WR, 1st round, pick 4) and Nick Singleton (RB, 5th round, pick 165): No RAS available due to missing measurements.
Official Statements & Responses
Mike Borgonzi said the draft “adds potential playmakers to need positions and will continue building the culture for the future.”
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
The source describes the class as both an eight-player and a nine-player draft, creating a numerical inconsistency. Additionally, two selections (Tate and Singleton) lack RAS data, limiting a complete athletic comparison across the entire class.
Why It Matters / Impact
High RAS values for Faulk and Hill Jr. suggest the Titans secured elite athletic upside at critical defensive spots, potentially accelerating the team’s rebuilding timeline. Conversely, the absence of RAS metrics for Tate and Singleton highlights reliance on game-film evaluation and scouting judgment beyond measurable testing. The blend of high-RAS and unmeasured prospects reflects a balanced approach that could influence roster construction, depth chart decisions, and future free-agency strategies.
