Despite significant free agency moves, the Titans still hunt for crucial additions. Discover the remaining roster gaps before the NFL Draft reshapes the team.

The Tennessee Titans had quite the spending spree last week with the beginning of NFL free agency

The team looks very different from a year ago, but they have yet to hit the field to prove it. The Titans have gone 6-28 since the decision to fire former head coach Mike Vrabel. 

Vrabel had winning records in four of the six seasons he was with the franchise, but then went 7-10 in 2022 and 6-11 in 2023. 

Now, he is with the New England Patriots and just took them to the Super Bowl. The Patriots won four games in 2024 before Vrabel got there. 

General Manager Mike Borgonzi hopes this recent influx of players can have a similar effect on the Titans. 

After the wave of signings in free agency, fans got a look at how the Titans could line up in 2026. 

The team definitely filled a lot of its needs, but there are still a few that could be addressed in the 2026 NFL Draft. 

Here are the needs that the Titans still have ahead of the draft in no particular order: 

 

Interior Offensive Lineman 

The Titans made a move at guard during free agency, bringing in Cordell Volson. 

Volson brings a lot of starting experience, but he also has an injury history. The former Cincinnati Bengals guard has played in 50 games with 48 starts, but suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in training camp last season. 

Based on the depth chart at right guard, if Volson were to go down with an injury again the backup would be Jackson Slater, who doesn't have any starts under his belt. Slater played in 12 games with no starts for the Titans in 2025. 

Then, you have Peter Skoronski set to reprise his role as the starting left guard. However, his backup is Garrett Dellinger, who played in one game for the Titans last year. 

The starters at both guard spots are set, but there needs to be more depth behind them. 

EDGE 

The Titans traded for Jermaine Johnson with the New York Jets to secure one of the starting spots at edge rusher. 

Tennessee didn't make a move for another edge rusher in free agency, so the starter at the opposite end, as it stands, is Femi Oladejo. Oladejo played in six games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending leg injury. 

There's a chance that we could see Jacob Martin start at the other edge rusher spot over Oladejo, but it's clear that this team needs to address the position in the draft. 

Martin is a much better option than Oladejo. However, with how deep this year's draft class is at edge rusher, the Titans will have plenty of solid players to pick from. 

Linebacker 

With the Titans moving to a 3-4 defense, the starting linebackers appear to be Cody Barton and Cedric Gray. 

James Williams will be rotating in at linebacker behind Gray. Outside of those three, it's not looking too promising. 

The Titans have Dorian Mausi and Cam Riley as depth pieces, both with zero games of starting experience. 

Much like the interior of the offensive line, the starters are set in place, but it's clear that more depth is needed before the 2026 regular season. 

Cornerback 

The Titans found their two starting corners in Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott. 

Borgonzi used his Kansas City Chiefs connections and brought in Joshua Williams. Slot corner is projected to have Marcus Harris as the starter. Harris played in 14 games with five starts last season. 

The other corners are Keydrain Calligan, Micah Robinson and Erick Hallett. Out of those three, there is one game of starting experience. 

Maybe the team goes with Harris at slot corner, but I think the Titans could really benefit from drafting a corner in April, if not as a starter, then perhaps to give the team more depth. 

Receiver 

Wide receiver isn't as big a need now that the Titans have Wan'Dale Robinson and restructured Calvin Ridley's contract. 

The team really just needs some more players who can line up on the outside. Currently, Ridley and Elic Ayomanor are projected to start on the outside. Behind them are Mason Kinsey, Bryce Oliver and Hal Presley III. 

At slot receiver, Tennessee has good options behind Robinson, with Chimere Dike and Xavier Restrepo. 

The receiving corps is in much better shape than it was a year ago, but depth is still needed behind Ridley and Ayomanor.
