Titans' Offensive Tackle Needs in 2026 Draft

On April 1st Tennessee Titans fans talk a lot about needs at Ed's Russia, interior

line, running back and wide receiver heading into the 20, 26 NFL draft.

But offensive tackle, that one's flying under the radar.

Still, the team might grab one early, like around the 35th pick, since it's a premium spot

with some long-term questions.

Left tackle Dan Moore Jr. came in last off-season on a 4-year 82-million-dollar deal as a stopgap.

He upgraded from pass-flops, but pro football focus says he gave of 8 sacks and 48 pressures.

General manager Mike Borganzi likely signed him to bridge the gap, and they could cut

him next summer to free of 9.3 million in-cap space.

The Titans have a smart track record here, drafting Michael Ruse while Brad Hopkins was

still starting, then Taylor LeWan behind Ruse.

Both moves got heated first, but paid off big.

They tried something similar last year, with Jackson Slater, who sets a battle for guard

or center this off-season.

This 20-26 tackle-class ain't stacked at the top, but it's deep overall.

Guys like Max Aheonakor, Caleb Lomu, Kate and Proctor and Blake Miller could slide to

pick 35.

Or maybe Caleb Tiernan at 66, if they wait a bit.

Planning ahead on the line makes sense in this league, where rookies need time to cook.

Things could be setting up their future old line, just like the good old days, keeping

that pocket clean for years to come.
