After months of thorough evaluation, rumors, and hearsay, the 2025 NFL Draft is finally upon us. The Tennessee Titans control the draft through the No. 1 overall selection.
The overwhelming expectation is the Titans will draft former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward at the top. From there, general manager Mike Borgonzi may shift to a Best Player Available (BPA) approach as the new Titans regime aims to rebuild a roster left in a bad spot by the previous GMs.
The Titans are equipped with eight total selections. Borgonzi lacks a third-round pick as a result of Ran Carthon's trade for L'Jarius Sneed last year. Everything is on the table beyond Ward at No. 1, meaning the Titans may maneuver the board.
Using The Draft Network's Mock Draft Machine, we projected how things could unfold for the Titans in our final seven-round mock draft of the 2025 cycle.
Final Tennessee Titans 7-round 2025 NFL mock draft
Round 1 (No. 1): Cam Ward, QB, Miami
The Titans will be selecting Ward at No. 1 overall. The entire organization has reached a consensus to make Ward their next franchise quarterback. The former zero-star recruit blew them away throughout the pre-draft process with his rare leadership abilities and football IQ, during touchpoints at the NFL Combine, pre-draft visit, Pro Day, and private workout.
With physical ability to boot, the Titans believe they've found their starting QB for the next 10-plus seasons.
Round 2 (No. 50): Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
Trade!
Titans trade No. 35 to Seahawks
Seahawks trade Nos. 50 and 92 to Titans
Borgonzi could consider trading down from No. 35. In this scenario, he finds a partner in the Seahawks, who could come up for an offensive lineman or alternative wide receiver.
Tennessee recoups a third-round pick in this scenario. By moving down 15 spots, the Titans justify taking Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams, who played alongside Ward at Washington State in 2023, and was coached by Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz at UNLV in 2022.
Round 3 (No. 92): Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA
Cornerback is an underrated need for the Titans. Sneed is dealing with an alleged off-field incident and is coming off a disappointing injury-shortened campaign. The team also released Chido Awuzie earlier this offseason.
Borgonzi and Co. hosted several cornerbacks on pre-draft visits, including the pick here in UTSA's Zah Frazier. Frazier is raw, having started just 10 career games, but he possesses explosive size and athleticism, having run a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-3 and 186 pounds.
Round 4 (No. 103): Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech
The Titans must exit this draft with at least one instant contributor at EDGE. Dennard Wilson's unit recorded the third-fewest sacks in the league last season. Borgonzi then released Harold Landry III from his contract. This scenario waits a little longer to land that player, but Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a pro-ready rusher.
Powell-Ryland is undeniably undersized with arms barely longer than 31 inches, but he possesses a powerful frame with well-developed hands. His 16.0 sacks in 2024 finished third in the FBS behind just expected first-round picks Mike Green and Donovan Ezeiruaku.
Round 4 (No. 120): Cam Jackson, DT, Florida
The Titans have shown consistent interest in defensive tackles throughout the pre-draft process. One of their earlier pre-draft visits was used on Florida's Cam Jackson. Jackson is often listed as a nose tackle. His selection would be interesting considering the Titans already have Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat inside.
Jackson recorded a career-high two sacks this past season. He's an effective run stopper who is still developing as a pass rusher. The Titans seem fairly hellbent on drafting a defensive tackle, so while we're not fully on-board with this selection, this is a predictive mock draft.
Round 5 (No. 141): Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
Offensive tackle is another position that has surprisingly garnered a fair amount of interest from the Titans. They currently lack a swing tackle behind Dan Moore Jr. and JC Latham. This could be a case of overcorrecting an issue that has plagued the offense for several years in a row.
Ozzy Trapilo visited Nashville for a pre-draft meeting. He's flexible enough to play both left and right tackle, making him the ideal blocker to support both Latham and Moore Jr. Trapilo looked like a future starter at this year's Senior Bowl.
Round 5 (No. 167): Jordan James, RB, Oregon
Jordan James is another pre-draft visit. The Titans are looking for a different type of running back to support Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. James possesses the physical skill set head coach Brian Callahan is looking for.
James has the physical temperament required to thrive as a between-the-tackles runner at the next level. James also possesses enough speed to occasionally beat defenders to the edge. He's a dense and sturdy short-yardage back.
Round 6 (No. 178): Elijah Roberts, DL, SMU
SMU's Elijah Roberts is a bit of a tweener. He's too big to consistently play the EDGE at approximately 285 pounds, but he's slightly undersized to make a full-time living inside. The Titans signed a somewhat similar player in Dre'Mont Jones in free agency.
Roberts' awkward profile didn't prevent him from being productive at SMU. He was downright dominant for the Mustangs over the previous two campaigns, accumulating 17.5 sacks. Roberts is rugged and versatile.
Round 6 (No. 188): Jamaal Pritchett, WR, South Alabama
The Titans had at least three touchpoints with South Alabama wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett throughout the pre-draft process. Perhaps they consider him a priority undrafted free agent, but he looked draftable at this year's Senior Bowl. The Titans could use their final selection on Pritchett.
Pritchett recorded 91 receptions for 1,127 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024. The Jackson, Alabama native also returned 12 punts for 183 yards and a touchdown. Pritchett is undersized at 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, but he's versatile and athletic, having ran a 4.39-4-41-second 40-yard dash at Pro Day.
