Now that the NFL draft has wrapped up and rookie minicamps are kicking off, it is a great time to break down what has transpired throughout the offseason.
The Tennessee Titans have made significant strides in rebuilding their foundation and resetting the organizational floor after a solid free-agent haul, and they backed it up with an excellent draft. But there is still some work to be done.
Kevin Patra of NFL.com took a look at the totality of the offseason and identified what remains on general manager Mike Borgonzi's offseason checklist.
Still to do: Develop Cam WardAdd a veteran offensive linemanIs Carnell Tate a No. 1?
Priority No. 1 in Tennessee: Help Ward. The QBās development has always been the front-burner issue, and the Titans' selecting Tate at No. 4 overall certainly helps. Brian Daboll is tasked with getting the most out of Ward, who flashed big-play ability but needs to improve his consistency in 2026. The pieces are in place for the former No. 1 overall pick to thrive. Now we need to see it. To help Ward, the Titans could use another veteran in the middle. Bringing back Kevin Zeitler would make sense to shore up a spot of need. Adding Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson greatly improved the Titans' passing attack. Tate will have a chance to prove heās a legit No. 1 option early in the campaign. If he blasts off with Ward, this could be an extremely fun offense to watch. The lingering question in the WR crew is how much Calvin Ridley has left.
While the development of Cam Ward is the key to the Titans' success, the addition of a veteran offensive lineman could be the most pressing need. Tennessee drafted some young talent with some experience, which should make for an interesting competition, but adding a veteran would help quiet some concerns and complete the other outlined tasks.
