The Tennessee Titans are currently a mess. Sitting at 1-4 and heading to Buffalo to face Josh Allen and the Bills, the Titans could fall to 1-5 and be looking for a permanent change at quarterback.
Quarterback Will Levis is questionable for Sunday, but if he plays and struggles again, he could force head coach Brian Callahan to make a change under center. Veteran Mason Rudolph could soon be Tennessee’s starting quarterback, which could help the offense in the short term, but he’s unlikely to be a permanent solution.
That leads us to the 2025 NFL draft. If the Titans continue to struggle, they’ll likely have a high pick in next spring’s draft. Could Tennessee look to draft a quarterback?
In a new mock draft for CBS, Josh Edwards has the Titans selecting a wide receiver at No. 6 overall: Tetairoa McMillan of Arizona.
If the Titans move on from Will Levis, and I think that is likely at this point, then they strike me as a team more inclined to sign Sam Darnold in free agency than one to draft another quarterback. As it stands, they draft a ball winner in Tetairoa McMillan to complement Calvin Ridley
Signing Darnold would be an interesting move for Tennessee. If he continues to play at his current level, it will be difficult for the Vikings to let him hit free agency, even with a rookie waiting in the wings.
McMillan is a dominant outside playmaker. At 6-foot-5, 212 pounds, he’s a physical mismatch and would give Tennessee a different type of receiver. In this scenario, it’s difficult to imagine DeAndre Hopkins returning to the Titans. McMillan and Ridley would be a solid 1-2 punch for whoever is under center in 2025.
