The Tennessee Titans learned a lot at this year's NFL Combine. General manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Brian Callahan hold all the cards after confirming they've received calls regarding the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Titans took advantage of their opportunity in Indianapolis. They met with various quarterback prospects, including Cam Ward. They also watched some of the top athletes in the class perform while further organizing their draft board.
The buzz in Indianapolis indicated the Titans possess interest in trading the No. 1 pick. With that in mind, we've conducted a seven-round mock draft.
Round 1 (No.3 overall): Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Trade: Titans receive Nos. 3, 65. 2026 first-round pick, 2026 third-round pick
Giants receive: No. 1, 2026 fifth-round pick
Borgonzi passes on the quarterbacks to select Abdul Carter, the top-ranked player on his board in this scenario. Trading down and acquiring more draft capital and still landing an elite prospect at a premium position would be a terrific outcome. Carter would instantly be Tennessee's best pass rusher.
Round 2 (No. 35 overall): Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
The Titans confirmed they're open to moving JC Latham to right tackle if they draft a left-sided prospect. That potential outcome comes to fruition here with the selection of Josh Conerly Jr., a natural left tackle. Conerly Jr. would pair with Latham to finally solve Tennessee's long-lasting woes at the position.
Round 3 (No. 65 overall): Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami
Brian Callahan appreciates a slot-only receiver and Tyler Boyd is slated for free agency. Xavier Restrepo possesses the short-area quickness to uncover and make himself available to his quarterback. Restrepo would be a natural fit in Callahan's 11 personnel offense.
Round 4 (No. 102 overall): Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia
Smael Mondon Jr. displayed his athleticism at the NFL Combine by leaping a position-best 10-foot-10 broad jump. He also tied for the lead in the 10-yard split with a 1.52. The Titans desperately need linebackers who can cover, and Mondon Jr. projects as a coverage 'backer at the next level.
Round 4 (No. 119 overall): Jalen Rivers, OL, Miami
Jalen Rivers projects at guard, where the Titans have a starting-size hole on the right side. Furthermore, they require swing linemen with Daniel Brunskill and Corey Levin slated for free agency. Rivers would help Borgonzi refill the cupboard.
Round 5 (No. 142 overall): Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
The Titans should take advantage of a loaded safety market in free agency to sign a starting-caliber partner for Amani Hooker, but they should also add depth via the draft. Jonas Sanker is a tackling machine who thrives in a role near the line of scrimmage. That would compliment Hooker nicely, who is better roaming centerfield and creating turnovers.
Round 5 (No. 168 overall): BJ Adams, CB, UCF
You can never be too deep at cornerback. That's especially true for the Titans, who lost L'Jarius Sneed and Chido Awuzie to injuries last season. BJ Adams is a competitive corner who shined at this year's Senior Bowl.
Round 6 (No. 180 overall): Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
Nick Vannett is scheduled for free agency. Jackson Hawes would be a terrific like-for-like replacement as the best blocking tight end in the draft. He possesses a different skill set than Chig Okonkwo and Josh Whyle, and would fill out the TE room nicely.
Round 7 (No. 241 overall): Bru McCoy, WR, Tennessee
The Titans should double down at wide receiver with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine scheduled for unrestricted free agency. Bru McCoy played locally for the Tennessee Volunteers. He's a big-bodied prospect who recorded 39 receptions for 472 rece
