Titans Draft Targets: 5 Wide Receivers to Pair With Cam Ward at No. 4
Tennessee holds the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Here are the five best wide receiver prospects to help Cam Ward take the next step.
Why the Titans Must Target a Wide Receiver at No. 4
The Tennessee Titans finished 2025 with a 3-14 record, ranking 30th in the NFL with just 5.7 yards per pass attempt. With Cam Ward now under center, Tennessee needs explosive offensive weapons to complement their franchise quarterback. The No. 4 overall pick gives them flexibility to address their most glaring need.
1. Carnell Tate, Ohio State
Tate measured 6'2", 205 pounds at the 2026 NFL Combine, running a 4.42-second 40-yard dash with a 39.5-inch vertical jump. The Buckeyes star caught 78 passes for 1,289 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2025, leading the Big Ten in receiving yards. His combination of size, speed, and production makes him an ideal No. 1 target for Ward.
2. Chris Brazzill II, Texas A&M
Brazzill stands 6'3", 212 pounds with 9⅝-inch hands and a 78-inch wingspan. He posted a 4.39-second 40-yard dash and 37-inch vertical at the combine. The Aggies receiver hauled in 82 receptions for 1,356 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, ranking second nationally in receiving yards. Brazzill has already expressed his desire to play with Ward, telling Sports Illustrated he wants to join the Titans.
3. KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
Projected to be available in the second round, Concepcion measured 6'1", 198 pounds with 8⅜-inch hands. He ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash and posted a 35.5-inch vertical. In 2025, Concepcion caught 76 passes for 1,142 yards and 10 touchdowns, showing excellent route-running ability and yards-after-catch skills that would complement Ward's arm talent.
4. David Bailey, Notre Dame
Bailey checked in at 6'0", 190 pounds with 8⅝-inch hands and a 76-inch wingspan. His combine numbers included a 4.41-second 40-yard dash and 38-inch vertical. The Fighting Irish receiver totaled 69 receptions for 1,023 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2025, demonstrating reliable hands and the ability to win contested catches in the red zone.
5. Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame
Love measured 5'11", 185 pounds with 8⅜-inch hands and a 74-inch wingspan. He posted a 4.38-second 40-yard dash (fastest among receivers at the combine) and a 41-inch vertical. The speedster caught 61 passes for 912 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2025, averaging 15.0 yards per reception. His deep-threat ability would immediately stretch defenses for Ward.
Why It Matters
The Titans ranked 32nd in opponent yards per pass allowed (8.2) in 2025, showing their defense needs help too. However, with Ward as their franchise quarterback, building around him with offensive weapons takes priority. Adding a top-tier wide receiver at No. 4 would give Ward the playmaker he needs to accelerate Tennessee's rebuild.
What to Watch
The 2026 NFL Draft runs April 23-25 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Titans hold the No. 4 overall pick and are expected to make their selection on Thursday night. With multiple top wide receiver prospects available, Tennessee's choice could define their offensive identity for years to come.
Mock drafts show varying approaches, with some projecting edge rusher Arvell Reese at No. 4 before targeting receivers like Concepcion in the second round. The combine results have only strengthened the case for adding immediate offensive help to support Ward's development.
