2025 NFL draft: PFF grades for each Tennessee Titans pick

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 NFL draft concluded on Saturday, and the Tennessee Titans had what many see as a successful draft.

Mike Borgonzi and Chad Brinker made some great decisions, including trading picks to gain more draft capital. They started their draft by selecting Cam Ward, the top ranked quarterback in the draft class, with the first overall pick. By the time they selected Kalel Mullings from Michigan, the Titans had added nine players to it roster.

Now that everything is concluded, it's time to analyze just how well the Titans did this year.

Here's how Pro Football Focus graded each of the Titans' 2025 draft picks.

No. 1 Cam Ward, QB, Miami​

2024 PFF Grade: 92.9

Ward might not be the top overall player in this draft, but he is the clear-cut top quarterback prospect in a weaker class — a massive area of need for Tennessee after the team ranked dead last in PFF passing grade in 2024 (57.0). Ward earned an FBS-best 92.9 PFF grade last season at Miami and brings a big-play mentality, evidenced by his 6.3% big-time throw rate in 2024, that should help breathe life into the Titans’ passing attack.

No. 52 Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA​

2024 PFF Grade: 73.8

Oladejo started his college career as an off-ball linebacker before moving to the edge. While he remains a raw, inexperienced pass rusher, he impressed at Senior Bowl practices with athleticism, length, and explosiveness. He has to further develop as a pass-rusher, but his solid effort against the run (78.6 PFF grade) will provide a solid floor.

No. 82 Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State​

2024 PFF Grade: 61.2

Winston produced excellent 2023 tape before missing almost the entire 2024 season due to injury. He posted an 89.3 PFF overall grade two years ago after missing zero tackles. The ballhawking safety wins with high-level intelligence and a quick first step. Winston is a steal here, based on his PFF Big Board rank.

No. 103 Chimere Dike, WR, Florida​

2024 PFF Grade: 72.9

There were higher-ranked wide receivers still available on the PFF Big Board, but Dike brings high-end speed to the Tennessee offense. He tested with 4.3 speed during the pre-draft process and ranked in the top 25 nationally in 2024 in both receptions 20-plus yards downfield and deep receiving grade. Dike profiles as a vertical threat for new quarterback Cameron Ward.

No. 120 Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas​

2024 PFF Grade: 62.3

The Titans gift new franchise quarterback Cam Ward with another weapon, as Gunnar Helm steadily improved as a receiver each of the past few seasons, peaking this past season with a 72.4 PFF receiving grade. He’s still a work in progress as a blocker, posting a 66.9 PFF pass-blocking grade and 43.5 run-blocking grade. But his toughness is unquestioned, as he injured his ankle during the NFL Combine and still participated in the drills.

No. 136 Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford​

2024 PFF Grade: 74.1

The Titans traded up to get another weapon for new quarterback Cam Ward. Ayomanor was the highest-ranked remaining player on the PFF Big Board going into Day 3. He finished the 2024 season with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade.

No. 167 Jackson Slater, G, Sacramento State​

2024 PFF Grade: 76.4

Slater was outstanding in pass protection in each of his last two seasons at Sacramento State, combining to allow no sacks and just one quarterback hit. He earned a strong 84.7 PFF pass-blocking grade on true pass sets, too.

No. 183 Marcus Harris, CB, California​

2024 PFF Grade: 77.1

Harris earned a 77.1 PFF grade on zone coverage plays last season. He intercepted two passes and forced eight incompletions.

No. 188 Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan​

2024 PFF Grade: 87.3

Mullings, the linebacker-turned-running back, produced 657 yards after contact and 38 forced missed tackles in 2024 on his way to an 88.0 PFF rushing grade.
