Titans Idiot Nation: 2025 Titans Draft Recap

Round 1: Pick 1, Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Ok look, we’ve been through this. Ward wasn’t always my top choice — but with that rocket arm, real-deal mobility, loads of experience, and leadership vibes practically begging for a future 30 for 30, I’ve almost come to grips with the fact that Abdul Carter is a New York Giant. Let's see what the young rook can do. 

Round 2: Pick 52, Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA

As for the start of the second round… whoops, we traded that pick. Hold on... Moving back to 52... Oladejo feels like he was built in a secret Titan lab somewhere — checks every box on and off the field, and probably runs a well-oiled fantasy football team too. (Trust me, that stuff matters.)

Round 3: Pick 82, Kevin Winston Jr, S, Penn State

Next up in the third-round: Winston. Once fully patched up (where have we heard that before?), he could easily be a round three steal that keeps a few AFC South GMs awake at night. Winston didn't work out at the NFL Scouting Combine but was timed in the 4.45-4.5 second range in the 40-yard dash at Penn State's pro day so he's automatically one of the fastest guys on the roster day one.

Round 4: Pick 103, Chimere Dike, WR, Florida
Round 4: Pick 120, Gunnar Helm TE, Texas
Round 4: Pick 136, Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

Rolling into the fourth round, the Titans apparently remembered that throwing the ball is still allowed. They grabbed Dike — basically a size/speed glitch in the Matrix — and Ayomanor, who’s like Gabe Davis if you gave him better Wi-Fi and a firmware update. Oh, and they added Helm, a big-body tight end who somehow crushed the Combine while being physically held together by duct tape, elbow grease, and pure vibes. Honestly, this could be the round we all look back on and say, "Yep, that's where the future either got built... or hilariously derailed."

Round 5: Pick 167, Jackson Slater, G, Sacramento State

Slater showed up from a smaller school, stared down some heavy hitters at the Senior Bowl, and basically said, "Yeah, I belong here." He's probably starting out as a depth guy, but with his grit, there's a real shot he sticks around. And listen — when you post up in front of a random tree like it’s your official team portrait, you’re not just thinking about football. You are football. That tree? That's just future blocking practice.

Round 6: Pick 178, Marcus Harris, CB, Cal

Harris joins the Titans’ defensive backfield after we waved goodbye to 2024 starter Chidobe Awuzie like it was no big deal. With Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and L'Jarius Sneed (hopefully) already locking down the outside and Roger McCreary owning the slot, Harris probably isn’t kicking down the starting door anytime soon. For now, he’s likely hustling on special teams and getting the vets some Gatorade.

Round 6: Pick 188, Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan

Another running back? Yep. Mullings gives us a no-nonsense, straight-ahead runner, kind of like that one guy we used to have named Donald or Doug or… whatever his name was. At 6'1" and 226 pounds, Mullings is basically the Titans' answer to the "can we get a bigger back, please?" prayers I've been muttering for two years. A former linebacker turned battering ram, Mullings can do a little bit of everything — run over defenders in short-yardage, tackle people on special teams, probably help you move apartments if you ask nicely.

Buckle up. It’s football time in Tennessee. (Pretty sure we can steal that now since Mike Keith’s taking over in Knoxville.) #TitanUp
