Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated looked at the roster and saw some of the same things as he broke down their remaining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/2026-nfl-draft-needs-every-afc-team-after-free-agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">needs heading into the draft<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tennessee Titans<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Draft needs: RB, WR, edge, S<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The running back duo of Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears hasn\u2019t been a productive one. Cam Ward desperately needs a game-changer at one of the skill positions. Newcomer wideout Wan\u2019Dale Robinson doesn\u2019t exactly fit that bill, but he\u2019ll make life easier for the second-year quarterback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">With Robert Saleh now the head coach in Tennessee, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if the Titans used the No. 4 pick on one of the top edge rushers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">There is no doubt that the Titans should add some playmakers in this draft class, and they shouldn\u2019t bank on hitting a dynamic playmaker in the fourth round again. Tennessee could definitely use a premium pick on at least one or possibly two offensive weapons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tennessee also must invest in the interior of the offensive line to help Cam Ward and the offense. While it\u2019s true that Pollard and Spears did not blow the doors off the running game, they were also hampered by subpar play along the offensive line for the past two seasons, after line guru Bill Callahan failed to transform the Titans&#8217; line into a consistent unit. It wasn\u2019t until after he and his son Brian Callahan left that the play-calling for the running game took off.\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 28, 2026, 4:02 a.m. ET The Tennessee Titans have made some improvements throughout the offseason and appear&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":838700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,97116,95882,95896,95888,96683,95899,95975,95883,95889,98129,101582,96704,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-838699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfltitans","12":"tag-sstsntitans","13":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagnational-sports","16":"tag-tagnfl","17":"tag-tagnfl-draft","18":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","19":"tag-tagrobert-saleh","20":"tag-tagsports-news","21":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","22":"tag-tagtony-pollard","23":"tag-tagtyjae-spears","24":"tag-tagwandale-robinson","25":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116306071735482229","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838699","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=838699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
