Titans Draft Duo for Offensive Line Stability

On May 2, Titans fans knew the interior offensive line needed help after Lloyd Kushenberry left, and Kevin Zitler stayed unsigned.

So in the draft, they grabbed Fernando Carmona at Pick 142, then doubled down with Pat Cougan at Pick 194.

Cougan brings serious college experience, starting two seasons at Notre Dame before transferring to Indiana for the 2025 season.

He played over 2,500 snaps at left guard and center, earning offensive MVP honors in the Rose Bowl win over Alabama.

His tape backs up the hype, with zero sacks allowed in just 10 pressures last year, rare for a sixth rounder.

He's rock solid in past protection, rarely messing up mentally, and his quick feet shine in the run game, pulling to the second level in RPO schemes.

In the Big Ten Championship against Ohio State, Cougan went toe-to-toe with their star defensive tackle, future second round pick, Kate and McDonald.

Holding firm, most reps, despite some pushback.

Titans, GM, Mike Borganzi clearly saw a value pairing him with Carmona for a reliable center or right guard spot.

This duel adds high force stability to align craving answers, setting up Tennessee's offense for a stronger push next season.
