Titans final list of 30 visits offers big clue about potential upcoming NFL Draft trade that they've wanted this entire time
Will the 3rd Round be back on the menu for Tennessee?
The Tennessee Titans will be first up on the clock in the 2025 NFL Draft later this week, and they’ve finished their pre-draft meeting process with prospects. This is a crucial element of their evaluation, and the various touch points with players paint a picture of their draft interests when viewed collectively.
With the dust settling on reports of visits and meetings, it’s looking like 28 of the potential 30 visits available to them will be made public. You can look at who those players are in our meeting tracker linked here. But the most telling element of their visits this year isn’t any one player or position; it’s the expected draft range of most of the players they met with.
Third Round Trade Coming Up?
The biggest talking point besides the 1st overall pick for the Titans in this draft cycle has been their lack of a 3rd round pick. Once Cam Ward is taken at 1.1, the Titans will be tasked with trying to address a couple of massive needs—wide receiver and edge rusher—despite having only one more top-100 pick at their disposal.
A trade that yields Tennessee another top-100 pick is relatively likely because of this, and Titans brass hasn’t exactly been shy about their desire to get another pick in this range. The simple truth is that finding an instant-impact player at either of these positions on Day 3 is really improbable.
When you look at who the Titans have brought in on their 30 visits, a massive chunk of players sit inside the pick 35-to-pick 103 gap they’re currently facing. Based on the Consensus Big Board, here are the ranks of those visits: 34th, 37th, 49th, 51st, 59th, 65th, 70th, 79th, 82nd, 83rd, 85th, 87th, 91st, 94th, and 101st.
All told, that’s 15 of their official visits spent on players expected to be drafted in the range they don’t currently have a pick in. Fully half of their visits! And you can tack on 5 more players who’ve had some other form of reported meeting with the Titans this spring who are in that range too. If that doesn’t make it clear that they’re looking hard at trading into the 3rd round somehow, I don’t know what would.
