In all likelihood, the Tennessee Titans will somewhere pick between fourth and eighth in the 2024 NFL Draft.

With one game to go in the season, the Titans (5-11) are in line to earn the No. 7 pick in the first round of April's draft. There's only one team with a 6-10 record (the New York Jets), so even with a win Sunday vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Titans can't fall below eighth. There are two other teams with 5-11 records (the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants) and three teams with 4-12 records (the Washington Commanders, New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals).

Given the way draft order tiebreakers work, it's exceedingly unlikely the Titans could surge ahead of the Commanders or Patriots even if the teams finish with the same records. The same is true of the Giants, meaning the Titans need a Giants loss to move above them. The Titans could hold tiebreakers over the Cardinals or Chargers. That means with a Titans loss and wins by the Chargers, Giants and Cardinals (or a Chargers loss but help from Dallas, Baltimore and Buffalo), the Titans could sneak to fourth in the draft order for their best draft position since taking Corey Davis fifth overall in 2017.

Here are five players who the Titans should be considering in that range of five selections.

1. Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

It's tough to imagine Harrison falling out of the top-3, let alone the top-5. But if he's available, this is a no-brainer. The son of the Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver has generational ball skills and a rare combination of size and speed to go along with unreal college production. Receiver might not be the Titans' biggest need, but it's a hole that needs to be addressed. Harrison would plug it Day 1.

2a. Penn State OT Olu Fashanu

Fashanu didn't allow a sack and only allowed one quarterback hit in more than 700 collegiate pass block snaps. Sure, some of that has to do with the offense Penn State runs. But given the Titans' turnstile at left tackle, having a blindside protector who keeps the QB clean could help the offense function properly. He's another guy who may not fall out of the top-5 and is a slam dunk selection.

2b. Notre Dame OT Joe Alt

Alt might've been better than Fashanu this season. He was a unanimous All-America who only allowed five pressures, half as many as Fashanu, and graded as the second-best run blocking tackle in the FBS, per Pro Football Focus. He has gargantuan size at 6-foot-8, and Notre Dame's pedigree for churning out top linemen is hard to ignore. Stylistic preference is the only thing that separates Alt and Fashanu.

4. Georgia TE Brock Bowers

Tight ends aren't usually picked this high. Then again, tight ends aren't usually as talented as Bowers. Bowers averaged more than 14 yards per touch and scored a touchdown once every six times he got the ball at Georgia. We're saying touches here instead of catches because Georgia often used Bowers as a running back, and the tight end averaged more than 10 yards per carry. Throw in his talents as a blocker, and Bowers is a super-utility player who can help the Titans in just about every phase.

5. Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry

This isn't a great draft to be scoping top-tier defensive talent, but McKinstry has to be on this list given the Titans' needs. He's a lockdown coverage player whom opponents threw at less than three times per game this season. He showed great ball skills with 16 pass breakups when opponents actually tried throwing at him in 2021. He's got impressive length at 6-foot-1. And he's athletic enough that Alabama used him as a punt returner. The Titans need athleticism and skill on the outside, and McKinstry can supply that.
