NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently released his second mock draft of 2025, and his position on the Tennessee Titans has not changed.
In his first mock draft, Jeremiah suggested that the Titans would select edge rusher Abdul Carter out of Penn State.
My ears perked up when Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker said the team wouldn’t pass on a generational talent with the first pick. To me, Carter is the best player in the draft and he plays a premium position. I could see Tennessee looking to add competition for QB Will Levis in the free-agent market or later on in the draft.
Over his career at Penn State, Carter racked up 173 tackles (105 solo), 23 sacks (12 last year), five forced fumbles, one interception, and 13 passes defensed. The Titans need someone who can push through opposing lines and get at the quarterback.
For his second mock, Jeremiah had an additional comment:
The Titans have their share of holes to fill and decide to take the best player available in this year’s class. They choose to find their QB of the future in next year’s draft.
Here’s where he’s wrong: The Titans don’t plan to find their quarterback of the future in next year’s draft. If they decide not to draft a quarterback in 2025, you can be sure they’re going to find a player in free agency or they’ll work out a trade. And maybe the guy they bring in is filler until they find their future guy, but they certainly aren’t going to leave the quarterback position alone.
The Titans have to make a ton of adjustments during this offseason, and the quarterback position is a top priority.
