The Tennessee Titans have upgraded at multiple positions so far through free agency, but the roster is nowhere near perfect. The NFL Draft is just around the corner, and the Titans possess nine total draft selections. Six of those picks will take place on Day 3.
In order to continue the development of this team, Titans GM Mike Borgonzi needs to hit on a few of his late-round selections. Here are a few players that The Titans could target in the later rounds of the NFL Draft
4 late-round NFL Draft steals for the Tennessee Titans
Kaelon Black, RB, Indiana
Kaelon Black was one-half of a backfield duo for the National Champions, the Indiana Hoosiers. At 24 years old, he's considered an "older" prospect after five collegiate seasons, but the experience shows on film. He totaled 1,040 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025 and projects to be a reliable back capable of contributing in a committee role.
Black excels in identifying gaps and punishing defenders through contact, often pushing the pile in short yardage situations. He also has a strong pass protection foundation and is certainly not afraid to face pressure head on. If the Titans choose to make an addition to the current duo of Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, Black would bring a feeling of toughness that the room is currently lacking.
Eric McAlister, WR, TCU
Eric McAlister is one of the more polarizing prospects in this year's class. He dealt with alleged off-field legal issues in 2024. This has hindered his draft evaluation and could lead to a significant drop. On the field, he accounted for 1,190 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025 and showcased his ability to be a deep threat at the pro-level.
McAlister plays with significant speed that allows him to separate on deep route patterns, and is a burner after the catch. The Titans also need more size in the receiver room and McAlister could be a great piece. The 6'3" build, with his level of speed, isn't very common and could have immense upside for a Titans offense lacking weapons. Could Borgonzi roll the dice and take a chance on the former TCU star?
Max Llewellyn, EDGE, Iowa
The 6'6" pass rusher from Iowa is not the flashiest player when you turn on the film. He lacks the power to bull-rush through tackles and the bend to sweep by them. Instead, Llewellyn relies on a variety of savvy pass rush moves that give him a solid foundation as a designated pass rusher. When he gets to the backfield, it's normally due to his spin move or his double hand swipe.
Llewellyn saw the most success when he lined up outside the tackle in the wide-nine role. Lucky for him, Robert Saleh's defense heavily utilizes this same role within the 4-3 scheme. For a Titans team looking to add pass-rush help, Llewellyn could be a worthy late-round investment due to his pass-rush arsenal and scheme fit.
Trey Zuhn III, OL, Texas A&M
Trey Zuhn's experience and versatility make him a low-risk Day 3 option for Tennessee. He started four seasons at left tackle for Texas A&M, while also getting snaps at center in 2025. The positional flexibility alone is very valuable, but he was also ultra-reliable throughout his collegiate career. Zuhn served as the Aggies' team captain for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Arm length has raised concerns about his ability to play tackle at the NFL level, with teams likely looking to push him inside to guard or potentially center. With question marks at both center and right guard entering next season, the Titans could look to Zuhn as a potential late-round solution.
Last year, Borgonzi found value on Day 3 with picks like Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Gunnar Helm. If the Titans want to take another step toward playoff contention, they must nail this draft, and Day 3 will be crucial for that.
