The only intrigue for the Titans at this point is the second round pick.
Mel Kiper and Field Yates put out a dueling two-round 2025 NFL mock draft over at ESPN this morning. Yates made both of the picks for the Tennessee Titans. Of course, we know that the first pick he made for the Titans was Cam Ward, QB, Miami. The only question about that pick now is whether or not anyone from the Titans will confirm what they are doing before they are on the clock a week from Thursday.
There is some intrigue with the second round pick at this point. The two biggest needs the Titans have left after they take Ward are EDGE and wide receiver. Yates made an interesting call here. He took Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State. The surprise there is that he did it with Luther Burden III still on the board. Burden has been one of the big fallers throughout this draft process. It seems that some of that is because of a drop in production last year and some of it is because of some off-the-field issues. He’d be a great value at 35.
Here is what Yates had to say about Ward:
The Titans’ offseason actions — including adding to the offensive line — indicate how they are approaching this pick. They still need a QB1 of the future, with Will Levis atop the depth chart. Ward is my top-ranked signal-caller in the class, and he’d be a great fit in Tennessee. Ward has a dynamic skill set, displays a rocket arm and is the class’s most innovative passer when under duress.
And his comments on Higgins:
The Titans got Cam Ward. Now they must provide him with some legit playmakers beyond Calvin Ridley. Higgins could bring size, speed and versatility outside.
How do you feel about Higgins vs. Burden?
