6) Tennessee upgrades O-line — and tips hand on draft plans? The Titans did not get off to a blazing fast start in free agency, but they appear to have shored up one big concern: the offensive line.

I know it might have been eyebrow-raising to see Dan Moore land a deal that gives him a higher APY ($20.5 million) than Ronnie Stanley ($20 million), especially given that Moore was credited by Pro Football Focus with allowing 12 sacks in Pittsburgh last season. But Moore was blocking for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, the most-sacked and fourth-most sacked quarterbacks, respectively, over the past four NFL seasons. That context matters.

Moore, 26, might not be a world-beater, but he’s an upgrade at an important position. Another upgrade came Wednesday with the addition of guard Kevin Zeitler, a pro’s pro who turned 35 a few days ago but can still operate at a high level for the short term. Both have been extremely durable over the past few years, which is a big help.

Those moves would allow the Titans to kick 2024 first-rounder JC Latham to right tackle (his best position, in my opinion) and push Nicholas Petit-Frere to the bench. In recent years, Tennessee gave a healthy amount of snaps to Petit-Frere and outgoing free agents Dillon Radunz and Daniel Brunskill, players who are good as backups but demand an upgrade as starters. With a few signings, the Titans appear to have done just that.

These moves might also give us a hint as to the Titans’ plans with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. We’ve seen no movement at quarterback and no reported visits from the likes of Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. Sure, they could take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter, both of whom could be the “generational talent” they don’t want to pass up at No. 1.

Yet, this very much feels like table-setting to make Cam Ward the first pick. I’m sure the Titans have not bailed all the hay on that decision yet, and passing on elite non-QBs like Carter or Hunter can be dangerous business, unless they’re sold on the idea that Ward can be a difference-maker. But they can’t just march into 2025 with Will Levis and, say, Mac Jones and expect to energize the fanbase after three straight losing seasons.

If I had to guess right now based on the moves they’ve made to this point, Ward feels like a strong possibility. We’re still six weeks removed from the draft, but to me, that’s becoming a more likely situation right now.
