Overview
- Pro Football Focus’ latest mock draft ranks Jeremiah Smith as the top prospect and projects the Tennessee Titans would take the Ohio State wide receiver with the first overall pick.
- PFF’s numbers show Smith with a 94.5 receiving grade and 5.42 yards per route run, statistics that analysts call evidence of an elite college playmaker.
- The mock hinges on Tennessee’s poor 2026 start; if the club keeps its current record, it would be positioned to hold the 2027 No. 1 pick but that outcome is not certain.
- Coverage warns that adding a top receiver would not solve the Titans’ bigger needs at offensive line and running back and could force a decision about whether to keep investing in quarterback Cam Ward.
- Drafting Smith would create a young receiving core with Carnell Tate and could speed Ward’s development, but observers note PFF mocks are projections and teams often trade picks or prioritize trenches over a receiver at No. 1.
