Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Draft: A Solid Haul with Room for Improvement

The Tennessee Titans 2026 NFL Draft was a resounding success, with General Manager Mike Borgonzi making strategic picks that addressed team needs and added depth across the board. The draft sets up intense training camp battles, particularly along the offensive line, where rookies like Pat Coogan and Fernando Carmona will compete against veterans for guard and center spots.

While the draft was well-received, there are still gaps at key positions such as interior line, tackle depth, defensive tackle, and the secondary. To fill these voids, Borgonzi should consider signing free agents like Kevin Zeitler, Greg Van Roten, Jonah Williams, D.J. Reader, and Donovan Wilson. These proven players would provide stability and versatility, helping coaches like Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll navigate the path to contention in the upcoming season.
