The 2025 NFL draft is complete, and analysts are breaking down every move and overanalyzing every facet of a team’s process. 

While some outlets hand out letter grades for the draft, draft expert Dane Brugler ranks his favorite draft classes from top to bottom and breaks down what went right and wrong over the three days. 

Once again, the Tennessee Titans find themselves near the top of the rankings after adding nine players in their draft haul.

Here is what he had to say about Tennessee in his rankings in The Athletic. 

8. Tennessee Titans

Favorite pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The Titans did a great job hitting on all their areas of need without having to reach or overdraft at any position. But Tennessee’s draft will be remembered for its pick at No. 1. An electric playmaker, Ward has been handed the keys to the organization, and his talent will give the Titans a legitimate chance to compete for the AFC South title over the next few years — and beyond.

Day 3 pick who could surprise: Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Tennessee needed to address its offense again early on Day 3 and did exactly that by taking three pass catchers in Round 4. Helm might not wow with his size or speed, but he can wiggle free from coverage and finish at the catch point. With Chig Okonkwo going into the final year of his rookie deal, the Titans will give Helm plenty of opportunities as a rookie to see what they have.

In his first draft with Tennessee, general manager Mike Borgonzi was meticulous in his approach and quietly did an outstanding job adding competition and depth to the roster. Not only did they select high-character individuals, but they also brought in different skill sets to address areas of need. While some of the players may have been a surprise to those outside the building, their positions were all documented throughout the pre-draft process. 

The big test now is seeing how these prospects perform on the field. On paper, this is an outstanding class, but that won’t matter once the pads go on.
