Titans' 2025 Draft Blueprint: Building Around Cam Ward and Maximizing 7 Picks

Tennessee's Multi-Faceted Draft Challenge

With the 2025 NFL Draft looming, the Tennessee Titans face a franchise-defining opportunity:

Key Priorities

Secure franchise QB Cam Ward (Miami) at No. 1
Address critical gaps:
- WR depth chart (only five 1,000-yard seasons since 2003)
- Pass rush production (no double-digit sack artist since Harold Landry III)
- Offensive playmakers to support rookie QB

Historical Context

30% of WRs drafted in 2nd round since 2010 achieved 1K-yard seasons
Only 9/65 edge rushers drafted in 2nd round since 2010 recorded 10+ sack campaigns

Strategic Considerations	Round	Pick
1	1	QB Cam Ward (Miami)
2	35	WR Xavier Worthy (Texas) / EDGE Bralen Trice (Washington)
4	107	RB Blake Corum (Michigan)
5	143	TE Cade Stover (Ohio State)

Front Office Philosophy
GM Mike Borgonzi's stated goals:

Accumulate 10 Day 1-3 picks in next 3 drafts
Balance immediate needs with long-term development
Explore trade-down scenarios in Rounds 2-3

Critical Questions

Can Tennessee replicate Cincinnati's 2020 success (Burrow + Higgins)?
Will 2nd-round WR prospects like AD Mitchell (Texas) fall to No. 35?
Should they package picks to move up for elite EDGE Dallas Turner (Alabama)?

The Titans' ability to maximize their seven selections could determine whether they escape the AFC South basement or become legitimate playoff contenders.
