Titans Seek Powerful Guard in Draft

On March 20th, the Tennessee Titans face big gaps in their interior offensive line, especially at Ride Guard and Center.

They have not resigned veteran Kevin Zitler amid fan frustration, and they cut Lloyd Cushionberry earlier this off-season.

This leaves the unit thin as they head into the 2026 NFL draft, where they plan to target a guard.

Even if they bring back Zitler, the team knows they need a long-term starter.

Right now, Austin Schlotman and Jackson Slater are battling for the center spot, but General Manager Mike Borganzi wants more depth and power up, front.

Fans have voiced strong concerns over these moves, worried about protecting the quarterback and opening run lanes.

The interior line's weaknesses could hurt the whole offense if not addressed soon.

Reports show the Titans doing their homework on several college guards.

They held a formal interview with Georgia Tech's Keyland Retledge at the NFL Combine, joined by their offensive line coach.

They've also shown interest in Oregon's Alex Harky, who could slide inside from tackle along with standouts like Texas A&M's chased by Santis.

Oregon's Emanuel Pregnant and Kentucky's Jalen Farmer, all known for their physicality and run blocking skills.

With the draft still months away, expect the Titans to prioritize a mean nasty blocker who fits coach Carmen Brasillo's scheme and shores of that.

Line for years to come.
