2025 NFL Offseason: Tennessee Titans

NFL Draft Individual Grades:

1. Cam Ward, QB, Miami – A Grade

I’ve seen opinions from NFL media people that the Titans should eschew a quarterback and draft Travis Hunter instead. While Hunter is the safer prospect, I believe the Titans are correct in selecting Cam Ward because he gives them the most upside for the next decade. Ward isn’t on the level of the top quarterbacks from a year ago, but he provides great rushing ability with plenty of passing talent. The Titans have needed a franchise quarterback for a long time, and it seems as though they’ve finally found one.

52. Olu Oladejo, DE, UCLA – B Grade

This pick can’t be a surprise. The Titans lost Harold Landry this offseason, so they needed to find a pass rusher. Olu Oladejo can rush the passer, and I thought he made sense in the 50-70 range. This is a solid pick.

82. Kevin Winston, S, Penn State – B+ Grade

The Titans couldn’t stop the pass last year, so they had to find help in their secondary. Kevin Winston was projected in the third round, and I saw some second-round consideration for him despite an ACL tear. This is a pretty solid pick for Tennessee.

103. Chimere Dike, WR, Florida – B+ Grade

Chimere Dike is a speedy receiver who was projected in this range. The Titans really needed receiver help, so I like this pick for the Titans. Solid way to start Day 3.

120. Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas – B+ Grade

Another weapon for Cam Ward. Gunnar Helm was a dangerous receiving threat for Texas, and perhaps he’ll play similarly for the Titans. He makes sense as a fourth-round pick.

136. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford – A+ Grade

Elic Ayomanor is someone I mocked late in the first round once upon a time. I initially settled on him being a third-round prospect, so I still love the value. It’s great that the Titans keep giving Cam Ward weapons. Ayomanor, a tall receiver, can be seen as a steal.

167. Jackson Slater, G/C, Sacramento State – B+ Grade

The Titans added lots of receiving play-makers for Cam Ward. Here is some protection. Jackson Slater is a versatile lineman capable of playing guard and center, and he fits the range as a fifth-round prospect.

183. Marcus Harris, CB, California – B- Grade

The Titans lost a starting cornerback to free agency, so it’s not a surprise that they drafted a player at the position. I had Marcus Harris going a bit later than this.

188. Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan – C Grade

This pick neither fills a need nor provides good value. The physical Kalel Mullings was considered a seventh-round pick, and the Titans have two good running backs, so I don’t get this selection.
