2 positions where the Titans still lack depth after the NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans are still lacking depth at keynote positions after free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Tennessee Titans made waves this offseason, spending roughly $300 million in free agency and adding eight new faces through the 2026 NFL Draft. General Manager Mike Borgonzi is in the middle of a full-scale rebuild, tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind from the end of Jon Robinson's tenure and the entirety of Ran Carthon's time at the helm. While there's plenty of reason for optimism in Nashville, this roster isn't quite ready to call it a finished product.

There's no denying the Titans have checked off some major boxes. They believe they've finally found their franchise quarterback in Cam Ward. The wide receiver room has been completely transformed with the additions of Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson this year, building on last year's influx of talent from Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor. But even with all that activity, a few key areas still lack the kind of NFL-quality depth that can make or break a season when injuries start piling up. Here are two positions Borgonzi should keep an eye on before training camp.

Offensive Tackle

Finding a reliable swing tackle is one of the toughest jobs in roster building. Last season, the Titans had a solid option in Oli Udoh, who stepped in capably when either JC Latham or Dan Moore needed a breather. But Udoh left for the Arizona Cardinals in free agency, and the Titans haven't found a true replacement yet. Veteran Austin Deculus was brought in, but his 2025 performance was a major red flag—Pro Football Focus gave him a 33.1 pass-blocking grade, and he was part of a backup line that nearly got Justin Herbert destroyed. Borgonzi didn't draft an offensive tackle either, instead relying on undrafted free agents like Notre Dame's Aamil Wagner and Louisville's Rasheed Miller. Right now, sophomore Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson might be the frontrunner for the swing job, and that's a risky bet for a team hoping to protect its new franchise QB.

Cornerback

The Titans threw $115 million at revamping their cornerback room, and on paper, it looks much better. Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott are the new boundary starters, Marcus Harris is expected to return as the starting nickel, and Joshua Williams was signed to add depth. But take a closer look: one injury to this group and the starting lineup gets shaky fast. If Flott goes down, the next man up is a significant step down, and that's a scary thought in a division loaded with talented wide receivers. It's a clear sign of just how bad this position was before the overhaul—and a reminder that the Titans aren't quite out of the woods yet.
