The Tennessee Titans are honing their Titans draft strategy as the 2025 NFL Draft approaches on April 24. General Manager Mike Borgonzi recently hinted that all options remain open for the No. 1 pick, but Head Coach Brian Callahan’s candid insights at the Annual League Meeting offer a clearer glimpse into the team’s plans for this pivotal selection.
Callahan’s Top Prospects
Speaking with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Callahan outlined a “short list” of elite players in contention for the top spot.
“Callahan named Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, and Abdul Carter as the standout talents in this draft class,” he stated. These names align with mock drafts and the Titans’ needs, sparking speculation about the team’s direction.
Strategic Options on the Table
Callahan’s transparency is unusual, as teams often cloak their intentions. Is this a smokescreen to attract trade offers for the No. 1 pick, or a genuine signal? The Titans could bolster their 30th-ranked defense with Carter, secure a future quarterback in Sanders or Ward, or opt for Hunter’s versatility. Each choice could reshape the franchise.
Finalizing the Decision
While the Titans draft strategy isn’t locked in, Callahan noted progress. “We’re getting closer,” he said, with pro days and workouts nearly done. By early April, the team expects to solidify its direction, finalizing the pick just before the draft. The clock is ticking, and anticipation is building.
Countdown to Draft Day
With less than a month until the Titans make their selection, pressure mounts. Whether they trade down or surprise with an outlier pick, the decision will define their future. For now, fans and analysts alike await the reveal of Tennessee’s franchise-altering move.
