Tennessee Titans 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Abdul Carter no matter what, finding an answer at right tackle, and an underrated starting WR

It has already been a very interesting offseason for the Tennessee Titans, who said goodbye to former general manager Ran Carthon and welcomed Mike Borgonzi. His first order of business is going to be trying to find a solution at quarterback. Will that be via free agency, a trade, or in the 2025 NFL Draft?

In this scenario, we have assumed either free agency or the trade market for a veteran signal caller. On the most recent episode of A to Z Film Room, we kept that option in mind, and put together a 7-round mock draft for the Titans. Here’s how it looked.

Round 1, Pick 1: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

The Titans need a quarterback, but in this scenario, they find their short-term in another way. Instead, they land the best overall player in the class. It wouldn’t be shocking at all to see Carter develop into one of the best defenders in the NFL in a couple of years.

Round 2, Pick 35: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Right tackle is a major problem position for the Titans. Ersery should be able to compete there immediately but if he does struggle for whatever reason, he has the size, power, and demeanor to become stellar inside at guard.

Round 4, Pick 101: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

Whoever is the future at quarterback for the Titans, putting quality pass catchers around them should be very important. Noel is a diminutive slot receiver but plays with tremendous pace, savviness, and brings YAC upside as well.

Round 4, Pick 118: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

The Titans can get better on the second level, or at least add quality depth. Carter is a stoutly-built WILL backer with outstanding movement skills and coverage upside.

Round 5, Pick 141: Jake Briningstool, TE, Clemson

Many hoped that Briningstool would take a bigger step forward in 2024, but there is still plenty of underlying athleticism to get excited about. Briningstool is a really smooth mover with a bigger catch radius.

Round 5, Pick 167: Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse

McCord did some great things in his lone season with Syracuse, and has good arm talent to work with. He has the profile to develop into a good backup quarterback, and if he doesn’t, a fifth round selection is a very small investment.

Round 6, Pick 177: Jason Marshall Jr., CB, Florida

Marshall dealt with an injury in 2024 but he still brings an attractive skill set to the table when healthy. He is tenacious with good short area quickness, and should be able to compete both on the outside and from the slot.

Round 7, Pick 240: Joshua Gray, IOL, Oregon State

After spending most of his career at left tackle, Gray made the move inside in 2024. That allowed his athleticism to pop a ton more, and still has upside to continue tapping into.
