The second and third rounds are set for Friday, May 1st, beginning at 6:00pm CT, and the draft concludes with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday, May 2nd, at 11:00am CT. The current three-day format was unveiled for the first time in 2010.

The Titans enter the draft with seven total selections. They are scheduled to pick first on Day 2—the 33rd overall choice—and continue with one pick in Round 3 (overall slot 66), Round 4 (100) and Round 5 (138).

In Round 6, they own their original pick (177) and a pick from the New England Patriots (208) as a result of trading linebacker Akeem Ayers in 2014. The Patriots also acquired the Titans’ seventh-rounder (219) in the deal.
