The NFL Combine has come and gone, and with all star bowls under our belts I can confidently declare that mock draft season is upon us. I find it silly to dive into the full scale of the draft and do full seven-round mocks until after the NFL Combine. But now that the picture is that much clearer, or the smokescreen is that much foggier, I'm willing to take a stab at my first full seven round Titans mock.

Let's get it underway. Here is my first stab at what the Titans could do in late April:

1.01 - CAM WARD / QB / MIAMI

I've made it abundantly clear that the Titans need to trade back with one of their first picks. Tennessee is not just a QB away in 2025 and if they could get a haul for the first overall pick, I think Mike Borgonzi would be smart to do so.

However, if you had to ask me today, I think the Titans may be convinced that Cam Ward is their guy. The Titans waste no more of the Giants, Browns, Raiders, or Jets time and take their QB of the future.

Brian Callahan has talked about working through the flaws of a QB instead of outright fixing them,referencing the dynamic out of structure play of a guy like Patrick Mahomes. Though Ward has his flaws, Ward is a dynamic playmaker that plays out of structure as good as anyone. If the Titans feel like they can reign him in, Tennessee makes the pick that hopefully saves Callahan’s job and sets the Titans up for years of success as they build around their new franchise QB.

TRADE: DALLAS SENDS 2.44 + 3.76 FOR 2.35 and 5.168

The Titans still need to find a way to acquire another top 100 pick in this draft. After passing up that opportunity in the first, Tennessee finds a realistic trade partner in Dallas. The Cowboys are in need of a new running back, with Ezekiel Elliot gone and Rico Dowdle set to hit free agency. If a guy like Omarion Hampton falls, or the Cowboys love TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, or Kaleb Johnson, Tennessee is an attractive trade partner.

Tennessee picks up a mid-third to move back 9 spots in the second, while throwing in one of their fifth rounders. The trade ends up being a worthwhile price for both sides and a realistic idea of what a trade could look like.

2.44 - AIREONTAE ERSERY / OT / MINNESOTA

The Titans have a tremendous amount of holes they could fill in the second round, but the cream of the crop is at tackle. Tennessee takes the Senior Bowl standout Ersery to address their need at right tackle.

Ersery has elite size for the position. Standing at 6’6” and 331 pounds, the “Feldman's Freak List” tackle is a stout run blocker, but is still a work in progress in the pass protection game. Ersery played both sides of the line at the Senior Bowl, displaying his versatility as a tackle and could offer some interesting solutions to Tennessee’s offensive line problem. Technique is what makes him a day two prospect but with Bill Callahan as a mentor, Ersery would have a really good shot to be the Titans bookend for the next decade.

3.76 - JAYLIN NOEL / WR / IOWA STATE

Two Iowa State products on the board here and I elected to opt with smaller, shiftier Noel to supplement the Titans receiver depth issues. Noel fits the Green Bay mold of wide receiver that Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi may be looking for when they spend draft capital on a wide receiver.

Noel was one of the most impressive athletes at the 2025 Combine, tied for the top broad jump and vertical of all receivers that tested in Indianapolis. His 4.39 40 time matches what you see on tape: An explosive and shifty route runner that could become Brian Callahan’s next favorite target. Noel was also one of the top standouts at the Senior Bowl, where the Titans had a heavy presence. A slot only guy at 5’10” and 194, he put contested catch reps up against bigger corners that proved he has the build to not just be an underneath guy.

Considering where Brinker and Borgonzi come from in Green Bay and Kansas City, it's not wild to assume late day two or early day three is the spot for Tennessee to pick up a playmaker. If the Titans find themselves with a mid day two pick, Noel would be a no brainer.

4.102 ANDREW MUKUBA / S / TEXAS

I have the Titans hitting the defensive side of the ball heavy on day three, taking Andrew Mukuba out of Texas to replenish their safety depth. A three year starter at the nickel, Mukuba moved to safety in 2024, displaying a talent for run defense while also being sticky in coverage downfield if needed. That dual threat nature landed him with an elite 26.1% forced incompletion rate in 2024 and an uber productive season with five interceptions.

Mukuba is undersized at just 186 pounds, but his tape in the college football playoffs, specifically against Clemson, proved that he's a heavy hitter even at that size. The Longhorn product is a versatile player who would instantly slot in next to Amani Hooker on day one of the 2025 season and add much needed youth to the secondary.

4.119 OLUWAFEMI OLADEJO / EDGE / UCLA

I know what you are thinking, where’s the help on the defensive line? With long time Titan Harold Landry on his way out the door, the Titans need to replenish their pass rushing game while getting younger at the position.

Enter Oluwafemi Oladejo, a powerful edge rusher from UCLA that will potentially be available on day three with how deep the class is. Oladejo is another edge rusher who is a late bloomer, with just one full season playing the position under his belt. However in just one season he exploded onto the scene, putting up seven sacks, seven QB hits and 19 hurries in 2024, per PFF.

Oladejo has more power to his game than his frame may give away. At 6’3” and 259 pounds, Oladejo used quickness and his first contact to blow by tackles. He may be raw, and the move set may be a little barren, but there's a lot of potential for Dennard Wilson and his staff to work with, making Oladejo a worthwhile pickup on day three.

5.142 UPTON STOUT / S/NICKEL / WKU

I have the Titans adding yet another young and feisty player to their secondary in Upton Stout out of Western Kentucky. The big knock on a player like Stout is his size. He came in at the combine 5’8” and just 181, which is why he won't go much higher than early day three. But from the tape alone, Stout has everything needed to be one of the most versatile pieces in a Dennard Wilson offense.

Stout was yet another standout at the Senior Bowl, winning against almost every receiver he faced. At the combine, a 4.44 40 time and his 37.5” vertical showed that impressive range and explosiveness despite his size. Stout’s 90.9 PFF run defense grade makes him another rotational guy year one that could contribute to Tennessee’s run defense woes, with 17 run stops recorded in 2024.

The size concern may be enough to take him out of the running for a team like Tennessee. However, if the Titans took a chance on an undersized guy like Jarvis Brownlee Jr in the fifth last year, Stout could be another versatile player that takes over Roger Mccreary’s role down the line.

6.179 ISAAC TESLAA / WR / ARKANSAS

The Titans double up at the wide receiver position, taking a athletic freak in Issac Teslaa out of Arkansas. The Razorback wowed at the combine, recording a 4.44 40 time that contributed to a 9.96 RAS (Relative Athletic Score) overall.

Teslaa would be an immediate upgrade as a gadget guy over Jhaquan Jackson, and has the separation ability with his speed and size to complement. If nothing else, TeSlaa is worth the flier on late day three.

7.241 CLAY WEBB / OG / JACKSONVILLE STATE

Clay Webb is this year's Jaelyn Duncan, the potential next coming of Ojukwumania, a guy who could wow some at training camp in fighting for the starting guard spot. Webb was one of the more impressive under-the-radar guys in Mobile, going up against P4 edge rushers and giving them the business.

Webb’s play strength on the interior is incredibly impressive, which was on display in one-on-ones against the mountainous Deone Walker at the Senior Bowl. Although the height in weight isn't ideal, Webb is someone to keep an eye on that a coach like Bill Callahan could mold into a future starter.
