The Tennessee Titans are in the middle of a season they would like to forget. Will Levis has struggled when healthy, and injuries have plagued the roster from top to bottom. Pro Football Network recently released a full 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, and the Titans made it clear that Levis was the quarterback of the future.
Here is everyone that the Titans took in the mock draft. For a more in-depth breakdown of each athlete, head to the PFN Top 100 Big Board for the 2025 NFL Draft. The draft order was based on the PFN Mock Draft Simulator.
Luther Burden, WR, Missouri (6th Overall)
Missouri curiously forgot how to get Luther Burden the ball consistently in 2024 until about two weeks ago. However, since then, the Tigers’ wide receiver has been flashing the same post-catch threat and tight-window theatrics we grew to adore during summer scouting. His usage at Missouri is frustrating because we rarely see him run a traditional route tree, but his natural fluidity and suddenness provide hope that he’ll sharpen those finer details.
Burden could step into the NFL and be the best wide receiver from this class or quickly slide into anonymity. His physical talent is impressive but not unique in the NFL these days. He’s a dangerous post-catch weapon. However, he carries the burden of playing in Missouri’s offense, which does not ask him to run a diverse route tree, nor does it manufacture enough touches for him given how dangerous he is with the ball in his hands.
The WR has a knack for making huge plays in important moments, usually on slot fades and usually while flashing only one hand out to finish the catch. The highs are incredibly high, but the lack of nuance as a route runner and the amount of volume he receives crossing the field or on screens compared to winning 1-on-1 matchups is alarming for his projection as a separator at the next level.
Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia (37th Overall)
Although the NFL inches closer and closer toward “positionless” defensive football, we aren’t there yet. Hybrid players in college still find it a difficult transition from college to the NFL at times, as many get deployed improperly or misused entirely. Jalon Walker is a hybrid defender in every sense of the word, and that actually makes his projection trickier instead of easier.
Luckily, the Titans’ defensive structure could be a great landing spot for him. We don’t see much from a reactionary standpoint with Walker. He’s often used as a blitzer from the second level or as a pass rusher from the edge. However, he doesn’t necessarily have the rushing repertoire of a full-time rusher, and we don’t get to see his processing ability often at the second level.
He could end up being Devin White or Parsons and anything in between. Tennessee must insulate him by maintaining two starting-caliber linebackers alongside him so he can be used as a chess piece early on until he either rounds into a full-time edge or his processor comes along at the second level. He’s an incredible athlete, but he’s raw.
