As things began to settle at the team facility following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL draft, there was plenty of activity taking place in Nashville.
While they did not make any type of transaction, the Tennessee Titans released the jersey numbers for their nine draft choices.
This was known since his introductory press conference when Hall of Famer and franchise icon Warren Moon crashed the party and gave Ward his blessing to wear his previously retired jersey number. The first overall selection in the NFL draft, Ward is poised to take over as the face of the franchise and kickstart the sputtering Titans offense.
An inexperienced edge out of UCLA, he has the athletic profile, positional versatility, and football IQ that teams covet. Oladejo should be able to come in and compete early and possibly quickly carve out a role on a defense that must improve its pass rush.
A downhill thumper and versatile chess piece for the secondary who was a tremendous value selection in the third round. Winston would have gone much higher in the draft had he been healthy in 2024. He is coming off a torn ACL, but the Titans believe he will be ready to go in training camp.
On top of being an explosive wideout with the ability to challenge defenses with his deep speed, Dike is versatile and is willing to do all of the dirty work for an offense. He has both the heart and the high football IQ that coaches look for, and can carve out a role in the NFL. He is a dynamic return man who could give Tennessee a weapon on special teams.
An underrated prospect with the ability to outperform his draft slot. Helm slid in the draft due to a combination of a sprained ankle at the combine, a stacked tight end class, and questions about his overall athletic makeup. However, he was productive in college and has a tremendous work ethic. He should be able to come into Nashville and be a solid complement to Chig Okonkwo.
Widely regarded as one of the Titans' best selections, Ayomanor being available at that spot was a surprise to most outlets. While he does have some areas he must clean up, he has the size, speed, and overall skill set that make him an intriguing complement to Calvin Ridley.
The only lineman selected by the Titans in the draft, Slater appears to have the skill set and versatility to become an eventual starter. Primarily a guard in college, some scouts believe his future may come at the pivot. The Titans needed some young, versatile talent along the interior and Slater has the potential to be just what they were looking for.
Not the biggest cornerback in this class, Harris could be a sleeper. Harris has the ball skills and toughness to play outside or in nickel and helps fill the void left when the Titans released Chidobe Awuzie earlier in the offseason.
Mullins is a physical, downhill runner who could be the complementary power back that head coach Brian Callahan was searching for. A former linebacker, he plays with an edge and has the look of an intriguing developmental prospect with a high upside.
