Honestly, a great class for Mike Borgonzi\u2019s first draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While Blake Brockermeyer of CBS Sports didn&#8217;t re-draft all seven rounds of the 2025 draft, he did take a turn at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/2025-nfl-redraft-first-round-picks-revisited-after-rookie-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">re-drafting the first round<\/a>, and he has the Titans standing pat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">1.

If Tennessee upgrades the offensive line and weapons around him, he will thrive in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Brockermeyer has the Titans among three top-10 teams that kept their picks after analyzing the rookie seasons of all players, and points out Ward\u2019s growth throughout the season. Ward struggled early on, but played at a high level down the stretch and flashed enough potential to make many people confident in his future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While one could make the argument that trading back would have been more beneficial, looking at the 2026 class, drafting Ward was definitely the right move for the Titans.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 14, 2026, 4:03 a.m. ET Now that the 2025 season has come to an end, besides seeing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,97360,95882,95896,95888,96683,95895,95906,95883,95889,526,394,2411,527,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-751380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfltitans","12":"tag-sstsntitans","13":"tag-tag2025-nfl-draft","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagnational-sports","16":"tag-tagnfl","17":"tag-tagnfl-draft","18":"tag-tagnfl-hub","19":"tag-tagoverall-positive","20":"tag-tagsports-news","21":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","22":"tag-tennessee","23":"tag-tennessee-titans","24":"tag-tennesseetitans","25":"tag-titans","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116068516103395063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
