Every pick after that, through pick 20, is determined by regular-season records from worst to best.How do NFL Draft tiebreakers work?Should teams have identical records, the first tiebreaker is strength of schedule, meaning the team whose opponents had the worst combined winning % receives the higher pick.If that number is identical, the second tiebreaker is division/conference, meaning head-to-head games, common opponents, strength of victory.The final tiebreaker, should the first two not work, is a coin toss.Who are the 2027 NFL Draft top prospects?ESPN's Mel Kiper's top 10 prospects as of Nov. 12 are:Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio StateDrew Mestemaker, QB, Oklahoma StateLeonard Moore, CB, Notre DameCJ Carr, QB, Notre DameColin Simmons, Edge, TexasAshton Hampton, LB, ClemsonDarian Mensah, QB, MiamiChris Cole, LB, GeorgiaCharlie Becker, WR, IndianaXavier Gilliam, DT, TennesseeWould the Titans take another quarterback if they have the first pick in the NFL Draft?That doesn't seem likely, but with 10 games remaining, the Titans will learn more about Cam Ward.Side note: Just two of Mel Kiper's top 10 prospects for the 2027 draft are quarterbacks. Side note II: Tankathon's latest mock draft has the Titans taking Texas edge Colin Simmons with the second overall pick.Would the Titans opt for a receiver with top pick?Taking a receiver and giving Ward some ,more tools with which to work would make sense. Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, considered the best receiver prospect who is draft eligible, could help in Ward's development.Would the Titans trade the first pick in the NFL Draft?If stacking talent is the plan, trading the pick for players and/or more picks could speed up the Titans' rebuilding process. Teams have traded first pick in the NFL Draft 13 times since 1967, when the common draft era began.How many times have the Titans made No. 1 overall pick in NFL draft?The Titans/Oilers have had the first overall pick in the NFL Draft three times.1973: Johnn Matuszak, DE (Oilers)1978: Earl Campbell, RB (Oilers)2025: Cam Ward, QB (Titans)Would the Titans draft Arch Manning with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft?While another quarterback named Manning playing for a football team in Tennessee would be cute for a movie script, the reality is, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, nephew of former Tennessee Vols quarterback Peyton Manning, has done nothing to prove himself worthy of being the top overall pick.Paul Skrbina is a sports enterprise reporter covering the Predators, Titans, Nashville SC, local colleges and local sports for The Tennessean.
