# Jordan Reid: In their first-round mock, Reid has the Titans picking sixth overall and selecting South Carolina EDGE Dylan Stewart, whom they project as the first defender off the board. **Claimed:** Aug 27, 2026 **Pundit:** Jordan Reid — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jordan-reid **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/titans/onsi/a-way-too-early-2027-mock-draft-expects-great-news-for-titans-fans-01m11r74a160 3 checkable claims — 1 mock draft pick, 1 position order call and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > Few edge-rush prospects have ever possessed Stewart's blend of upfield acceleration, bend and closing speed. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tennessee Titans to pick at number 6** - Kind: Team Draft Slot Calls · About: Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dylan Stewart to be 1st defender off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Dylan Stewart - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dylan Stewart to be picked at number 6** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dylan Stewart - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Dylan Stewart — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dylan-stewart ## What others said about the same people - Shaun Calderon on Jeffery Simmons: Calderon argues the 0-5 Titans won't turn their season around, that Cam Ward won't be benched soon, and that Jeffery Simmons stays in Tennessee while Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley are likely trade candidates with modest returns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fcfebcd7-04de-406f-aa74-4c404a9f8b0e (scored 0) - Lane Mills on Tennessee Titans: Mills predicts the Titans finish 2026 at 6-11 (2-4 in the AFC South), missing the playoffs, with specific wins over the Jets, Giants, Browns, Jaguars, Raiders and Colts, and names Wan'Dale Robinson team MVP with another 1,000-yard, seven-touchdown season as Cam Ward's top receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5a2c4e6d-57dd-4dc9-9f27-c1446726f490 (scored 0) - Nathan Jahnke on K.J.
