Titans 7-round mock draft: Cam Ward goes No. 1 overall, but then what?

1 week ago | foxsports.com | Ben Arthur

The NFL world expects Miami’s Cam Ward to be the Titans’ pick at No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, barring a last-minute change of circumstances. But what happens after that? Tennessee has one of the league’s most talent-deficient rosters, as evident by its 3-14 record last season. Outside of quarterback, the team also has glaring holes at wide receiver and edge rusher and needs depth at a slew of other positions on both sides of the ball.
5 biggest questions ahead of 2025 NFL Draft: What will Browns, Giants, Saints do?

With the 2025 NFL Draft fast approaching, intrigue continues to mount. No pick in the first round has been traded to this point, which would be a first since the NFL merger if that holds. That, at least in part, speaks to the perception of this year's quarterback class and a dearth of prospects that franchises view as being true first-round players.

No one knows what’s going to happen entering an NFL draft, even if we like to pretend that we do. Sure, there’s a level of certainty regarding the headlining prospects. But even with them, it can be difficult to pinpoint where their NFL homes will be. Trades happen all the time, even at the top of the order, which has a trickle-down effect on the draft. This year, most league observers have penciled in Miami quarterback Cam Ward to the Titans at No. 1.

The 2025 NFL Draft is just over a week away, and every team still owns its first-round pick. Not once since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002 has each club entered Draft Day in possession of its original top pick. Every team also has at least one Day 2 selection. All but three own a second-round pick. Only four don't have a third-round pick. It paves the way for more clubs to fill their most glaring roster holes early in the draft.

The NFL Draft isn’t an exact science. It’s not uncommon to see teams take a prospect who doesn’t play a position of need because said player is deemed "best available." But there are also situations where a club will "reach" on a guy, simply because he fills a hole. The best-case scenario, of course, is when best available and position of need align. That best-case scenario is what we’re assuming in the following exercise: In the 2025 NFL Draft, what if clubs selected players solely based on need?

We know the headliners of the 2025 NFL Draft. But who are some of the lesser-known players in the class — those projected to go anywhere from the second half of Day 1 to early Day 3 — who have a chance to become stars in the league? Here’s a ranking of breakout candidates (one from each offensive and defensive position) in descending order, with No. 1 being the most likely to become a star. 11.
What each 2024 first-round QB needs to do to be successful in Year 2

While the attention of the NFL at this time of year is on the quarterbacks who will be entering the league this spring, the passers entering their second season could be the ones who most greatly impact the outlook of 2025. Members of the 2024 rookie quarterback class made history before even taking a professional snap: Six were selected in the first round, tying the record set in 1983. And it’s a group that has already flashed long-term promise.

NFL franchises gear their offseasons around cultivating success. It's defined differently by each club on an annual basis, but it remains central to the team-building efforts of free agency, the draft and spring and early summer practices ahead of the next season. We see teams fall short of expectations every year, though. And those seeds can be planted as early as the offseason — just like this year.
Ashton Jeanty reveals his NFL goal: ‘To be the best that’s ever played the game’

The 2024 NFL season felt like the year of the running back. Saquon Barkley was at the forefront for the Philadelphia Eagles, registering a single-season NFL record for rushing yards (regular season and playoffs combined) en route to a Super Bowl victory — then netting a historic extension for running backs. Derrick Henry had a similarly massive impact in Year 1 with his new team, posting more than 1,900 rushing yards with the Baltimore Ravens.
