As the owners of the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans are in an interesting position, given the top prospects and their team’s biggest needs. And now that the NFL offseason is in full effect, fans are busy at work, creating the world’s best mock drafts to improve the Titans’ roster as much as possible in the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, without a third-round pick due to their trade for cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, Tennessee will net just two players in the first three rounds. That’s the case unless the Titans acquire more draft capital. But, as of February 17, 2025, the Titans don’t have a third-round pick.
But, as a team under new leadership with the hiring of general Mike Borgonzi, there’s hope that the Titans can begin clawing their way out of the NFL’s basement.
Since their divisional-round exit in the 2021 NFL Playoffs, the Titans have had three consecutive losing seasons, getting worse each year.
2021: 12-5 (1st in AFC South) *lost divisional round
2022: 7-10 (2nd in AFC South)
2023: 6-11 (4th in AFC South)
2024: 3-14 (4th in AFC South)
Although the Titans haven’t been too successful recently, this will be their first time making a selection with the first pick since 1978, when they drafted Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell.
The Titans have drafted second and third throughout recent history, but not first.
Now, that’s partially untrue, as the Titans did earn the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, but they traded it to the Los Angeles Rams that year.
So, unless Tennessee trades their pick away again, this will be the first time they’ve selected with the first pick in almost 50(!) years. No pressure.
Without further ado, here’s how the PFF Mock Draft Simulator had the Titans’ 2025 NFL Draft looking through the first three rounds.
The PFF Mock Draft Simulator is a tool for fans to put themselves in the seat of a general manager for an NFL franchise during the NFL Draft. This tool compiles data from PFF’s NFL Draft big board and user-submitted mock drafts to give fans an idea of where prospects could land in the actual draft. A computer simulation made these picks.
Although Cam Ward is seen as one of the top quarterbacks in this year’s draft class, that isn’t saying a whole lot.
The quarterbacks entering the 2025 NFL Draft are lower-quality prospects than those in recent years, making it a gamble to select one with the No. 1 pick.
Neither Ward nor Shedeur Sanders are first-round talents in the eyes of some NFL scouts.
And Borgonzi has been quoted as saying the Titans want a “generational talent” with their No. 1 pick.
It’d be quite the stretch to call Ward or any of the other quarterbacks in this class generational.
In fact, the phrase “generational talent” is widely overused anyway.
However, if the [Titans want that...
