The Tennessee Titans, owners of the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, had a season to forget last year. The Titans' fan base had hope that new head coach Brian Callahan would be the QB whisperer that Tennessee’s second-round pick from the 2023 NFL draft, Will Levis, needed to unlock his true potential. However, Callahan was unable to get the ill-advised throws and bad decision-making out of Levis, which has left Titans fans seeking a new signal caller who could go toe-to-toe against the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, C.J. Stroud, for the next decade plus.
Who is favored to be the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans after the 2025 NFL Draft?
It has been more than half a decade since the Titans last competed against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Conference championship with Ryan Tannehill operating under center while King Henry created havoc from the backfield. With a new general manager, Mike Borgonzi, in place, and a second-year head coach, Brian Callahan, no loyalty is attached to Will Levis, as neither was associated with the Titans organization when Levis was picked.
According to many experts, there is only one quarterback talented enough to go inside the top 10 with sky-high potential, and that is Cam Ward. In a draft class deemed by many as weak at the QB position, the Titans are fortunate enough to pick at the top. There were speculations in March whether Tennessee would trade down or not. However, as of April 22nd, 2025, it would come as an absolute shock if Cam Ward isn’t a Titan by the end of Round 1 on Thursday.
Will Cam Ward have enough talent around him at Tennessee?
The list of what Titans don’t need should be shorter than what they need as of pre-draft. If Cam Ward goes No.1 overall, he will be walking into a team that is in a full rebuild mode after letting two pillars of the past Titans, Derrick Henry and Harold Landry, walk out in consecutive seasons. Calvin Ridley is the only bona fide wide receiver in Tennessee’s receiving room. However, the most concerning unit of the Titans last season was their much-maligned offensive line, which surrendered 52 sacks, as per Statmuse. However, one silver lining on that o-line was Peter Skoronski’s play in the interior, especially as a pass blocker. Skoronski earned a 76.3 pass blocking grade from PFF, 12th best out of 136 total offensive guards, as reported by Pro Football Focus’ website.
Mike Borgonzi’s major move in his 1st season at the helm was building through trenches, as evident by him giving a hefty contract to offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. Borgonzi might be aiming to add an offensive lineman and wide receiver on Day 2 and later to give Cam Ward some talent to work with in the pros.
