The Tennessee Titans appear locked in on Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
At this point, any deviation from that selection would come as a major surprise. So, the real drama will unfold after that initial pick comes off the board.
The Titans find themselves without a third-round selection following last year’s trade for defensive back L’Jarius Sneed, which has sparked speculation about potential creative maneuvering.
Recent reports indicate the Titans are actively exploring options to trade up from the No. 35 overall pick to secure one of the draft’s premier wide receivers, with Emeka Egbuka of Ohio State and Luther Burden III of Missouri emerging as the primary targets.
The interest in Burden appears particularly serious, with developments suggesting momentum is building.
“The Titans have a 30 visit scheduled with Missouri WR Luther Burden III next week, per sources. Burden is considered by many to be a 1st Round talent who could potentially slip into the top of Day 2,” Easton Freeze of AtoZ Sports Nashville wrote on X.

Burden represents an enticing possibility for Tennessee, He is a physical outside target with game-changing abilities who could immediately elevate the offense.
His draft profile positions him among the top receiving prospects available, making him a logical player for the Titans to pursue.
Whether he slides into the second round or Tennessee opts to move up in the first round, Burden’s versatility and dynamic playmaking ability would address a clear need.
Burden showcased his talents with an impressive final college season, recording 61 catches for 676 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.
His ability to line up at multiple positions and create explosive plays makes him particularly valuable for a team looking to inject life into its offense.
