After sporting one of the worst offensive lines — and the worst left tackle situation — in the entire NFL the past two years, the Tennessee Titans have made some big additions to their group in 2024 and hope to have far better results.
Not only did the Titans draft JC Latham to play left tackle and sign Lloyd Cushenberry to play center, they also added esteemed offensive line coach Bill Callahan, who is a difference-maker in and of himself. The Titans also have 2023 first-round pick Peter Skoronski set to man left guard for the second year.
But there are still question marks at the other two spots. The Titans currently have a competition at both right guard and right tackle, so we may not know who the starters are at those positions for another few months.
Dillon Radunz, Saahdiq Charles and Daniel Brunskill are the top competitors for right guard, and Nicholas Petit-Frere, Jaelyn Duncan and John Ojukwu are in the mix at right tackle.
ESPN’s Mike Clay has released his 2024 projections, including ranking every offensive line group in the NFL. Clay lists Radunz as the right tackle, even though we know he is unlikely to play there because the Titans’ new coaching staff views him as guard.
Nevertheless, the Titans land a lot higher than fans would expect.
