The conclusion of the NFL's regular season on Sunday night locked in the selection order for the first 18 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft, with the Tennessee Titans "earning" the right to No. 1 overall. History suggests the Titans will invest in a quarterback. After all, that's the position that has led off eight of the past 10 drafts. And more specifically to the Titans, neither Will Levis (63.1% completion rate with 13 passing touchdowns vs. 12 interceptions) nor Mason Rudolph (64% with 9 TDs vs. 9 INTs) moved the needle as part-time starters this season. It was ugly enough that some believe Tennessee should first be looking to replace general manager Ran Carthon (hired in January 2023) and head coach Brian Callahan (hired in January 2024). Whomever is making the decision for the Titans this spring will have a difficult choice as this year's quarterback class is, frankly, not as gifted nor as deep as recent crops. In fact, with many gifted prospects choosing NIL and transfer opportunities at the college level rather than gambling on NFL contracts, the 2025 draft class is weaker in quality and quantity than most I've covered since the turn of the century.
