With the NFL Combine and draft fast approaching, the Titans will be looking to use the draft as a way to bolster their receiving core once again. With Calvin Ridley seeming on his way out, the Titans could be looking to replace another wideout.


In the lastdraft, the Titans took Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Gunner Helm. Helm set the Titans' rookie record for catches by a tight end, Ayomanor had a solid season, and Dike became a Pro Bowler in his first season.


With Cam Ward set to resume throwing in March after his separated shoulder, these are three receivers you could possibly see Ward throwing the ball to next season.


Carnell Tate:


Tate looks to be the top wide receiver prospect in this year's draft out of Ohio State. If the Titans decide to go with an offensive player with the 4th pick, this is the guy to look for. Nine touchdowns and almost 900 yards last season for Tate as he stood out as a deep ball threat, as well as a solid slot receiver.


Tate averaged around 85 yards per game last season and will likely solidify himself as the offensive rookie of the year next season. If the Titans do decide to go with Tate, it will definitely be a name Titans fans will get used to on Sunday.


Denzel Boston:


Boston helped carry the Washington Huskies' offense this season and made them a competitive team in the Big10 this past season. With 11 touchdowns and almost 900 yards receiving, Boston solidified himself not only as a top receiver in the conference but a top receiver in the country as well.


Boston stands at 6 '4’ and makes a killing in the red zone with 1-on-1 balls, and also down the middle of the field, where he can spread into open space. Boston has a unique size and speed combination that can easily make him a top wide receiver in theNFL. If paired with the right team, Boston can be a great addition to any NFL team.


If Ward were to have Ayomanor and Boston in his wide receiver room, then the Titans would have all the makings to be a top offense next season.


Zachariah Branch:


Branch is a speedster who began his college career at USC and has since transferred to Georgia, where he had a breakout season in 2025. Branch went for six touchdowns and 800+ yards in a run-heavy offense this season, which makes his stats more impressive.


Branch is an excellent slot receiver and can also be utilized as a deep ball threat. Branch may be one of the fastest receivers in the combine this year, which also makes him lethal for WR screens and run plays, as they can let him dictate the pace of play.


Branch has elite route running that can make him a threat to any defense on the field. Pair Branch with a guy Dike, and the Titans have the opportunity to run laps around opposing defenses.
