Tennessee Titans 2025 7-Round NFL Mock Draft: Who Will Replace Will Levis?
It's been a brutal year for the Tennessee Titans, but fans of the team can start to look forward to trying to turn the franchise around in the 2025 NFL Draft.
After draft-altering wins from the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders over the last few weeks, the order has changed dramatically. The Titans now have the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, just behind the New England Patriots.
The Titans face some big decisions to make with their roster, especially at the quarterback position. Will Levis has struggled and been unable to stay healthy, and the Titans are now in a position to take their next potential franchise quarterback.
With so many factors at play, here's what a seven-round mock draft could look like for the Titans if the season ended before Week 18.

Round 1, 2nd Overall
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami 
Even if the New England Patriots decide to trade out of the No. 1 overall pick, it's likely that the team moving ahead of the Titans (likely the Giants or Raiders) will try to take a swing on Shedeur Sanders. That opens the door for the Titans to take Cam Ward. Either way, they're guaranteed to land one of the top two QBs in this draft class if they want to go in that direction.
Ward has gone from a 0-star high school recruit to a Heisman Trophy finalist after bouncing around college football, finishing his career with Miami. He's been sensational all year for the Hurricanes, throwing 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions.
What makes Ward such a strong quarterback prospect is his arm talent, ball placement, and off-script ability. He's capable of throwing from multiple arm slots and has the composure and almost casual style of play not to get rattled when things get difficult.
After so much chaos with Levis the last two seasons, a more steady presence at quarterback might be exactly what the Titans need.

Round 2, 33rd Overall
Pick: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia 
The Titans rank 27th in pass block win rate, and their offensive line is a mess, trying to keep whoever is playing quarterback upright. Wyatt Milum would help correct that in a hurry, regardless of where teams want to play him along the line.
Milum has been a mainstay on West Virginia's offensive line, holding it down at left tackle during the last couple of seasons. He's a tick on the lighter side at 6-foot-6 and 317 pounds but is an incredibly fluid mover who shut down virtually every pass rusher he faced over the last two seasons. In fact, per PFF, he's allowed zero sacks and just 17 pressures in the last two seasons.
While Milum isn't a road grader in the run game, he plays with good pad level at the point of attack and has good core strength to turn and steer defenders to open up rushing lanes. He could play tackle in the NFL, but his limited length could have him kicking inside.
Either way, that's a prospect the Titans desperately need on their offensive line.

Round 4, 104th overall
Pick: Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss 
Harold Landry III is still the Titans' premier pass rusher, but their lack of EDGE depth is a real concern.
Finding a three-down edge in the later rounds can be difficult, but Jared Ivey has legitimate starting potential. He had a career year for Ole Miss this season with seven sacks, two forced fumbles, and a career-high 34 pressures.
Ivey's imposing 6-foot-6, 285-pound frame can make him extremely difficult for offenses to handle because he can play all over the line of scrimmage. His good length and a handful of counter moves allow him to disengage from blockers.
While Ivey can play a bit out of control, especially when engaging blockers, the size, length, and production give him legitimate NFL potential.
Round 4, 119th overall
Pick: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia 
The Titans are still trying to sort out their long-term vision for their secondary. They likely won't find a true No. 1 cornerback in the fourth round, but a player like Daylen Everette could play a specific role in Tennessee's defense, even as a rookie.
Everette is a tenacious outside cornerback prospect with a pedigree as a former 5-star high school recruit. He has an ideal frame for an outside cornerback with good length but also tremendous top-end play speed to stay in phase with even the most dangerous deep threats.
There's a bigger question about Everette's ability to handle more precise route runners, but his overall skill set, combined with his length and speed, could make him an intriguing developmental prospect who could turn into an awesome starter down the road.

Round 5, 139th overall
Pick: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma 
Tyler Boyd was supposed to be a dynamic slot receiver for the Titans in his first year with his new team. Instead, he's had a negligible impact, catching 39 passes for 390 yards and zero touchdowns.
A Day 3 slot receiver is a worthwhile selection for Tennessee, and Deion Burks could end up being the right move. He was injured for most of this season at Oklahoma but was an electric playmaker for Purdue in 2023.
Although he'll be stuck in the slot as a 185-pound receiver at the NFL level, he can still be used in a variety of ways because of his explosiveness and top-end play speed. He can be lethal after the catch in the screen/quick game and has the wheels to separate vertically.
Burks needs an accurate quarterback to compensate for his lack of length, but he is so smooth at getting behind secondaries and underneath the football that he could be a really fun weapon for whoever plays quarterback for the Titans in 2025.
Round 5, 157th Overall
Pick: Lathan Ransom, SAF, Ohio State 
The Titans have a big hole to fill at safety this offseason, either through the draft, free agency, or both. Quandre Diggs will be a free agent after signing a one-year deal, but only played half the season before suffering a season-ending injury.
Lathan Ransom has a chance to be a Day 1 starter, even as a Day 3 pick for the Titans. He has good size and length at the position, and loves to be physical in Man coverage to disrupt tight ends. His best value might come as a blitzer or alley defender, triggering downhill with good explosiveness and pop in his pads to deliver violent contact at full speed.
Ransom can be over-aggressive and whiff when flying downhill. He's a bit stiff, so he can struggle to stick with receivers in coverage. However, his mentality and versatility in the backfield could make him a fun piece in an NFL secondary.

Round 6, 176th Overall
Pick: Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa 
Linebacker depth is important for any NFL team, especially given the prospects coming out of college. Teams need to find players who can specialize in certain aspects of the game.
Jay Higgins won't be a thumper between the tackles, but he might be one of the best coverage linebackers in this draft class. He does a great job of reading the quarterback's eyes in zone coverage to jump throwing lanes. He had a passer rating of just 46.6 when targeted this year, with four interceptions and zero touchdowns allowed.
A smaller frame and limited length hurt Higgins' ability to wrap up on tackle attempts and get off of blocks. However, he can be a real asset on obvious passing downs by using his instincts and movement skills to operate in coverage.
Round 7, 240th Overall
Pick: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami
The Titans already have a solid one-two punch at running back in Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. However, if one of those guys goes down, the Titans have to rely too heavily on the other one due to the lack of depth behind them.
Damien Martinez could be the ideal third back in that rotation. He's not a home-run threat with breakaway speed, but he's a legitimate bowling ball with good contact balance and physicality to keep running through contact. In fact, Martinez was 10th in the country with 4.46 yards after contact per rushing attempt this season.
While he's not a well-rounded running back prospect, that running style could allow him to take some of the workload off of Spears and Pollard when one of them is banged up.
