2025 nfl mock draft tennessee titans make a splash cleveland browns

Black Monday has arrived, signaling the conclusion of the 2024 regular season. Following the Lions’ statement win in the Sunday night finale in Detroit, 18 teams have wrapped up disappointing campaigns and shifted focus to the offseason. For players, that might mean a trip to Cabo. But for front offices, it’s the start of an extensive evaluation process leading up to their own version of the Super Bowl — the 2025 NFL Draft. With the draft order for picks 1 through 18 now officially set, we have the unique opportunity to explore the many potential outcomes and scenarios that may unfold. While a lot can — and likely will — change between now and April 24, particularly after the Scouting Combine in February, it’s an exciting time to speculate on how the dominoes may fall...

The Will Levis experiment has come to an end in Tennessee. Levis’ brand of football is nothing short of exciting; however, the Titans brass are looking for something with a little more upside and a lot less risk. Furthermore, head coach Brian Callahan has made it clear that neither Levis nor journeyman Mason Rudolph is the long-term answer at QB. Enter Shedeur Sanders. The son of “Prime Time” Deion Sanders, Shedeur has all of the traits and pedigree to be an elite NFL quarterback. The first week of NFL free agency was a whirlwind, with teams aggressively addressing key roster needs.

These early moves have also provided a clearer picture of how the 2025 NFL Draft might unfold. In this updated top-10 mock draft, we project how teams will continue to fill their biggest holes—including one franchise making a bold trade up the draft board. After the first week of free agency, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Titans are likely to select a quarterback with the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, especially after opting not to... It’s evident that Will Levis isn’t the long-term solution, and with no other viable options, Tennessee should take Cam Ward. Ward stands out as the top quarterback in this class, boasting elite athleticism and exceptional arm strength. With further development in his pocket presence, he has the potential to emerge as a high-caliber NFL quarterback.

The Browns are another team expected to target a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. While they acquired Kenny Pickett, he’s merely a temporary solution. By selecting Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland lands the most polished passer in this class. Sanders demonstrated remarkable accuracy, completing 74% of his passes on his way to earning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors. If the Browns can build a strong supporting cast—particularly an offensive line that can protect him—Sanders has the potential to become one of the best quarterbacks in franchise history, a position that has long...

The Titans have kept things quiet, but they have not signed a veteran quarterback or made a move to trade this pick. Thus, Tennessee’s actions suggest they targeting a quarterback with the first pick. I personally am not high on Cam Ward, but my mock drafts are a projection of what I think teams WILL do and not what they SHOULD do. Hence, I think Tennessee will take Ward at No. 1 overall. In 2024, Ward completed 67 percent of his passes for 4,313 yards with 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

He had four rushing touchdowns as well. Ward (6-2, 223) is considered to be a good leader and he has an adequate arm to distribute the ball throughout the field. He is at his best when plays break down, and he makes something happen off-script. Ward holds the ball too long, needs to improve his internal clock, and has some athletic limitations for the NFL. Multiple team sources feel that Ward could be a poor man’s Russell Wilson as a pro quarterback. Ward was a point machine over the previous three seasons at Washington State, generating a prolific number of touchdowns.

He broke out in 2021, completing 65 percent of his passes for 4,638 yards, 47 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. In 2022, Ward completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,231 yards with 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Ward then completed 67 percent of his passes in 2023 for 3,735 yards, 25 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also notched eight rushing touchdowns during 2023, which matched the total of his ground scores from the previous three seasons. Ward flirted with transferring to Miami or Florida State before deciding to enter the 2024 NFL Draft, backing out, and completing the transfer to the Hurricanes. It sounds like Cleveland is leaning towards Hunter with the second pick, and he might be a receiver for them.

I think the Browns are enamored with the idea of adding Hunter and then maybe trading back into the first round for Shedeur Sanders. In 2024, Hunter had 96 receptions for 1,258 yards with 15 touchdowns receiving and one rushing. He has 35 tackles with four interceptions, 11 passes broken up, and a forced fumble on defense. Hunter flashed dominant cover ability in 2023 with 31 tackles, three interceptions, and five passes defended before getting injured and missing some time. As a receiver, he provided some big plays to the Buffs’ offense, catching 57 passes for 721 yards and five touchdowns. As we reported in the Hot Press, teams were divided on whether Hunter should be a wide receiver or a cornerback in the NFL.

The consensus was for Hunter to be an every-down cornerback and a rotational gadget receiver. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder possesses other-worldly ball skills with elite athleticism alongside superb instincts and feel. Hunter is not the biggest of players, and teams have some durability concerns with him. However, he projects as a potential No. 1 corner in the NFL. With the Browns, Hunter could be their No.

1 receiver. The Giants take the best player on their board and add an impact player. Carter could form a dynamic pass-rushing trio with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. In 2024, Carter had 68 tackles with 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four passes broken up. Carter notched 49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, five passes defended, and one interception in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four passes defended.

Carter is extremely fast off the ball, and his rare explosiveness is even more dynamic with his ability to bend off the edge. While Carter (6-3 250) is a dangerous speed rusher off the edge, and he has the versatility to play Sam linebacker as well. Penn State lined him up inside the linebacker and rushed off the edge, so he already had experience moving around the defensive front. After signing Carlton Davis to a big contract, it doesn’t make sense for New England to take a third cornerback, even if Travis Hunter were available. They also signed edge rusher Harold Landry, so even if Carter gets here, they might not take him. They have a much bigger hole at left tackle and need to help second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

Here’s a long-term blindside protector for Maye. Campbell earned the starting left tackle job in training camp as a true freshman in 2022 and started 13 games there. He then held onto the spot as a sophomore in 2023, protecting the blind side of Jayden Daniels. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound Campbell is big and enters the NFL with a lot of experience. Team sources say that Campbell plays well with his hands, has good technique, is big, and strong. However, in 2024 he has had some issues with playing over his toes too often and getting off balance.

Campbell is a safe prospect to be a solid starter at tackle or guard. Jacksonville is keeping things hush-hush, but I think this pick is coming down to Jeanty, Mason Graham, and Kenneth Grant. The Jaguars know that Trevor Lawrence has been trending in the wrong direction. They can go with the best player available and grab Lawrence a difference maker to improve their rushing offense while providing Lawrence with better down-and-distance situations. In 2024, Jeanty averaged 7.0 yards per carry for 2,601 yards with 29 touchdowns and 23 receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown. Jeanty (5-8, 217) has a strong build with explosive speed, athleticism, and incredible instincts as a runner.

In 2023, Jeanty averaged 6.1 yards per carry for 1,347 yards with 14 touchdowns. He was also a tremendous receiving back with 43 receptions for 569 yards and five scores. Jeanty could be a dangerous weapon to lead an NFL rushing attack in the mold of Marshall Faulk or Josh Jacobs. Our final 2025 Tennessee Titans NFL mock draft! The 2025 NFL Draft has finally arrived! The Tennessee Titans will kick off the festivities by drafting quarterback Cam Ward at No.

1 overall. That is the overwhelming expectation. Mike Borgonzi will then shift attention to holes at wide receiver, EDGE, and other sore spots on the roster. With the 2025 NFL Draft mere hours away, we’ve completed our final seven-round Titans mock draft using The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine. It’s a foregone conclusion the Titans are taking Ward at No. 1 overall.

From the NFL Combine to the Pro Day and private workout, Ward aced everything Tennessee threw his way. He’ll be the first-ever No. 1 overall quarterback in franchise history. The Titans may trade down from No. 35 overall. That’s difficult to predict, but we imagine they end up taking Kyle Williams at some point (not at No.

35). Williams played alongside Ward at Washington State, making him an ideal fit. The NFL regular season is over, so we've updated our most recent mock draft for all fans in need of some hope heading into the offseason. Draft order via Tankathon. Picks made by Nate Tice denoted "— NT" and picks made by Charles McDonald denoted "— CM." Hunter might be the best overall player in the class, and while the Titans desperately need a quarterback, they could also use a topflight cornerback to pair with some of the front seven talent...
