Paired with the hole at center after cutting Lloyd Cushenberry, the interior offensive line is concerning as currently constructed. Mike Borgonzi will almost certainly select an interior blocker during the 2026 NFL Draft. With Austin Schlottmann and Jackson Slater seemingly competing at center, even if the Titans re-sign Zeitler, a future starter is needed at guard.

With that in mind, we’ve identified five guards the Titans could target during the draft. Keylan Rutledge, IOL, Georgia Tech Keylan Rutledge is among the toughest, most physical blockers in the class. He’s mean and nasty and plays through the whistle.

The Titans reportedly had a formal interview with him at the NFL Combine. Offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo was said to have joined that meeting. Rutledge would be an excellent addition.
