2025 NFL draft: Titans land elite edge rusher in 33rd Team mock

The Tennessee Titans are in full offseason mode and they’ve been busy. Between coaching staff changes and overhauling their front office, there really hasn’t been any down time. 

But now, with the Super Bowl on the horizon and free agency around the corner, the team has started to dive head first into draft preparations, this week spending time at the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl. 

After finishing their 2024 season with a miserable 3-14 record and earning the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft, there is very little change amongst the many mock drafts that populate the media. The same four names always seem to appear and honestly a case could be made for any of them. 

Cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, edge Abdul Carter and quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders seem to be the favorites as we turn the page toward the scouting combine.  

NFL draft experts at the 33rd Team recently released their latest mock draft and have the Titans again selecting one of those names. 

While Carter would make a lot of sense with the Titans definitely needing an upgrade on the edge, the bigger question is whether they could trade back to grab some extra picks and still select him. The Titans have a lot of needs and only so many picks. 

If they stay put and grab him, they will get a dynamic, potential game-changer off the edge that could take their already solid defense to a new level. While he isn’t a finished project, his upside is immense and he could wreak havoc on offenses for years to come. 

What do you think? Is that who you would select for the Titans or would you go a different direction? Let us know your thoughts.
