The Tennessee Titans are pleased with the results of the 2026 NFL Draft. They stayed true to their board at No. 4 overall and decided to help Cam Ward by taking wide receiver Carnell Tate. General manager Mike Borgonzi then traded back into the first round to take falling defensive end Keldric Faulk with the 31st pick.
The Titans then traded up again into the second round for linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. Day 3 of the NFL Draft welcomed promising picks like Nicholas Singleton, Pat Coogan, and Fernando Carmona. Borgonzi adequately addressed many of his team's needs.
That doesn't mean the Titans' multi-year rebuild is complete, however. There are areas of the roster that require further addressing. We've identified the three biggest leftover holes on the roster Borgonzi may consider improving before training camp.
3 biggest holes on Titans roster after NFL Draft
Interior offensive line
Titans fans are concerned about the interior offensive line. The starting center and right guard from the 2025 season are both gone in Lloyd Cushenberry and Kevin Zeitler. Borgonzi signed Austin Schlottmann and Cordell Volson in free agency. They project as league-average starters. Sophomore Jackson Slater is in the mix, and the aforementioned draft picks (Carmona and Coogan) will attempt to compete. The current expectation is that Schlottmann and Slater/Volson will open the season as the starters.
Cornerback depth
The Titans spent $113 million in free agency to totally revamp the cornerback room. Big-money signings Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott will start on the outside. The third and final signing at the position, Joshua Williams, figures to be the top reserve option. Saleh recently praised nickel corner Marcus Harris, who the team believes could take a big second-year step. As currently constructed, the Titans need their top guys to stay healthy, and for the inexperienced Harris and Williams to offer something when needed.
Swing offensive tackle
The Titans had a quality swing tackle in Oli Udoh last season. He signed with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency, presumably searching for a bigger opportunity. They've seriously downgraded by bringing in Austin Deculus, who played low-level ball for the Los Angeles Chargers last season. Second-year undrafted free agent Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson will have a chance to win this role, as will rookie UDFAs Rasheed Miller and Aamil Wagner.
