The Tennessee Titans are at the center of the buzz leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, and for good reason. Holding the No. 1 overall pick is always a big deal, but this year, the uncertainty at the top makes it an even more attractive spot. Teams across the league are watching closely, wondering what direction the Titans will take—will they select a franchise quarterback, go with the best available talent, or make a blockbuster trade?
A Draft Class Full of Questions
Every year, quarterbacks tend to get overdrafted, but then there are the elite-level talents who truly deserve to go No. 1. In this draft, two names keep surfacing as potential first-overall picks: Cam Ward and Abdul Carter. Both players bring star potential to the table, and the Titans are doing their due diligence, hosting both for visits before things officially kick off on March 12.
However, there’s also another real possibility that has many talking—the Titans might trade down.
A Trade-Down Strategy?
NFL insiders Turron Davenport and Jeremy Fowler have hinted that the Titans' front office sees multiple high-quality players at the top of the draft. If that's the case, why not maximize value by moving back a few spots, stacking draft picks, and still securing a future cornerstone? It’s a logical move, and given how the team’s leadership is thinking long-term, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them take this approach.
Team president Chad Brinker has made it clear that his long-term vision involves making 30 draft selections over the next three years, with 12 of those picks falling within the top 100. That’s a bold strategy built around drafting, developing, and retaining talent. But right now, the Titans only have eight picks in the 2025 draft, with just two in the top 100. Trading down from the No. 1 spot could be the key to recouping valuable draft capital and setting up the franchise for sustained success.
Titans Fans Left Guessing
Of course, at this point, all of this is speculation, pieced together from whispers at the NFL Combine and behind-the-scenes conversations. The Titans' leadership has made it clear that they will be meticulous and thorough in their decision-making process leading up to the draft. They’re keeping their strategy close to the vest, and it’s unlikely we’ll get a clear picture until draft night itself.
For fans, the waiting game continues. The good news? There’s not much longer to go—the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay in just six weeks. Until then, expect the speculation, mock drafts, and trade rumors to keep flying. One thing is for sure: the Tennessee Titans hold all the cards, and how they play them will have a massive impact on the future of the franchise.
