Forget best players available. Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft should be about best offensive linemen available for the Tennessee Titans.The Titans ignored their gaping holes at center and right guard on the first two days of the NFL draft, and now they don't pick again until the early fifth round. They have five picks left to play with, so it's not as if the Titans are totally lacking in opportunity.
But they might have missed their window to find a plug-and-play starter at guard, and very well could miss out on their window to find a center as well, even if there's a little more depth at that spot in this particular class.With that in mind, here are 10 offensive linemen who the Titans could be in range to draft on Day 3 of the NFL draft.Titans NFL draft targets on Day 3: Best offensive linemen available to protect Cam WardOT Jude BowryA team captain at Boston College who has the length to play on the outside but also makes sense as a project player inside at guard. Checks a lot of boxes of what the Titans normally like.C Pat CooganFamous for landing the Rose Bowl MVP honor in Indiana's dominant effort, Coogan is an old-school blocker and a culture setter as well.C Matt GulbinA solid center option out of Michigan State who has the chops to compete for a starting job as a rookie.C Sam HechtIt's a bit of a surprise Hecht made it to Day 3.
He's a plug-and-play center option if he falls into the fifth round.C Connor LewThere might be a little bit of concern with Lew coming off injury, but there's starter value here.G/C Brian ParkerYou know you're drafting intelligence when you're picking an offensive lineman from Duke. Parker also comes with impressive athletic traits and experience playing both tackle spots too.OT Diego PoundsIf the Titans are in the market for a developmental swing tackle, Pounds is one of the best options available. He's experienced, long and knows his responsibilities in pass protection.OG Billy SchrauthA team captain from a Notre Dame team that loved to run the football, and someone who makes sense in the Titans' scheme.
Health is a bit of a concern.OT Drew SheltonShelton was a two-year starter at Penn State who's known for his athleticism more than he's known for his play strength. Another option as a potential developmental swing tackle.OG Beau StephensA guard from the Iowa football machine. The Titans missed out on center Logan Jones and tackle Gennings Dunker, but could end up landing the reliable Stephens.Nick Suss is the Titans beat writer for The Tennessean.
