Top draft candidates for the Titans
The Titans hold the coveted No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, and all four of these prospects are considered among the top candidates for the first selection. Abdul Carter, a standout edge rusher, has impressed scouts with his explosiveness and ability to disrupt offenses.
Travis Hunter, a dynamic cornerback and receiver, has drawn attention for his versatility and playmaking ability on both sides of the ball. Quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders have also garnered significant interest, both being highly talented signal-callers with the potential to lead an NFL team.
As the Titans look to build for the future, these visits are crucial in assessing the top prospects who could shape the team’s next era.
Trade-down scenarios and additional visits
While these four players represent the top of the Titans‘ draft board, Paul Kuharsky reports that roughly six additional first-round prospects will also visit Nashville.
These players could be part of a potential trade-down scenario, where the Titans move back in the draft to acquire more assets. Additionally, 20 other players, mostly from later rounds, will visit the Titans in the coming weeks.
The Titans also own a variety of picks, including a second-round pick, two fourth-round picks, two fifth-round picks, and one pick in the sixth and seventh rounds. The team is expected to add even more selections once compensatory picks are announced next month.
Private workouts on the horizon
The Titans are also planning several private workouts with prospects at their college campuses, giving them a chance to evaluate talent up close. These private sessions will provide additional insight into the players’ skills and abilities, aiding the Titans in their decision-making process as the draft approaches.
With the No. 1 overall pick in hand, the Tennessee Titans have the opportunity to shape their future, and these visits mark the beginning of what will be a critical and exciting draft season.
