The last few weeks of the season couldn't have gone better for the Tennessee Titans regarding their selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

They finished the season with the number one overall pick, and with the regular season now over, they are officially on the clock. 

But Ran Carthon won't make that selection. The team officially fired its general manager on Tuesday after just two years. Now, the team will begin the process of finding its next GM. In the meantime, here is a new seven-round mock draft for the Titans, beginning with a brand new quarterback at pick one. 


2025 7-round Titans NFL mock draft

1. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado 

Now that the Titans have secured the number one overall pick, they have their choice of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward are the most likely options. After going through the highs and lows that came with Will Levis, it's probably a safe bet that the Titans would value an accurate quarterback like Sanders. He would raise the floor of the offense tremendously from what they saw this year due to the abundance of back-breaking turnovers. 


Round 2:

35. Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State

The Titans need to find more consistent contributors on their defensive line. Harold Landry and Jeffery Simmons are great, but they need a partner in crime opposite Landry. Ohio State's Jack Sawyer has turned it on down the stretch for the Buckeyes. But if you are a Tennessee Volunteers fan reading this, I don't have to tell you that you saw it firsthand. He finished the first round of the college football playoffs with 1.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss, and two pass deflections. 


Round 4:

102. Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

The Titans land a wide receiver for Sanders to play opposite Calvin Ridley in the fourth in Jaylin Noel out of Iowa State. Noel is one of the most underrated wide receivers in this year's draft class. He is coming off the best year of his college career, recording 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns. His skill as a route runner should help him carve out a role early into his NFL career and showed he can line up in the slot or out wide if asked. 

119. Chase Lundt, OT, UConn

If the Titans don't add more talent on the offensive line in the upcoming draft, they would be foolish. UConn's Chase Lundt is one of the biggest sleepers in this year's class. With a strong draft cycle, I wouldn't be shocked if he catapulted himself into day two. UConn's RT didn't allow a single sack in nearly 900 snaps this past year and only gave up one quarterback hit.


Round 5:

139. Miles Frazier, G, LSU

Back-to-back offensive linemen pick for the Titans as they land LSU guard Miles Frazier. Frazier gets overshadowed by some bigger names on the LSU offensive line, but he is coming off a fantastic season to finish his college career. He spent time at RG and RT, but 839 snaps of his 902 came at RG. He didn't allow a single sack in pass pro and only allowed one quarterback hit. This pick, paired with Lundt, gives the Titans two day three selections that could compete for starting jobs in training camp as rookies.  

166. Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia 

The Titans' trade for Emery Jones was a success in terms of what he added to the defense; their record led them to have to move on, though. Smael Mondon Jr, out of Georgia, has a similar level of athleticism and is already strong against the run.  Mondon Jr. has flashed in coverage but hasn't been consistent enough to call it a strength quite yet. But the upside is there, and he has more than enough talent to warrant the Titans throwing this dart and working to develop him into a full-time starter. 


Round 6:

176. Shilo Sanders, S, Colarado 

What's better than one Sanders brother in Tennessee, how about two? After landing Shedeur in the first round, I also had the Titans landing his brother Shilo. Shilo has his struggles in coverage but has shown solid upside against the run and would be a solid special teams option for the Titans as a rookie. 

Round 7:

238. LaJohntay Wester, WR, Colorado 

Back-to-back picks from Colorado to bring the total to three for the Titans in this mock draft. Sadly, the Titans won't be able to bring Travis Hunter with Shedeur but they can target one of his weapons in LaJohntay Wester late on day three. Wester's small size at 167 lbs will lead to some teams taking him off their board. But his ability as a returner would offer solid competition for Mason Kinsley, Jha'Quan Jackson, and Julius Chestnut. And it could allow Tyjae Spears to focus solely on developing as a running back.
