The first round of the 2025 NFL draft gets all the hype leading into the weekend as fans want to see which top prospects their team selects. But NFL teams are built on days two and three of the draft, and what a team does with those picks can have a huge impact on a franchise's success or failure.
At this point, attempting to project what players a team will take after the first round is truly all speculation. Analysts can have their favorite prospects and dissect how they fit within an organization, but without having access to a team's physical draft board, no one knows.
That's especially true for the Tennessee Titans heading into the draft. The Titans could go in any direction with an overhauled front office and so many needs left to fill.
In Beyond the first round, Steve DelVecchio at Yardbarker broke down every team in the AFC South, compared their needs to Day 2 and Day 3 prospects, and picked one target for each team. Here's who he chose for the Titans.
There is no doubt that the Titans need to address the edge at some point in the draft. Yes, they made some moves by adding Dre'Mont Jones and Lorenzo Carter in free agency, but they could use an influx of youth and talent to fill a huge need on the defense.
By not having a third-round pick, the Titans would have to select Tuimoloau at pick No. 35 if they wanted him. A tantalizing talent with high upside, his production does not quite match the potential he flashed during his college career. He is an elite run defender, but his pass rush skills are unrefined and inconsistent. The physical tools are there for him to succeed in the NFL, but he needs to work on the technical details of his craft to truly develop into a dominant three-down edge.
He could definitely fit with Tennessee and give their defense a boost. Not only did they struggle to consistently get to the quarterback in 2024, but they were also bad against the run, making his skill set appealing.
