NFL insiders optimistic titans are in the right direction

It is still a long way before teams take some kind of sensible snapshots in the 2025 season and analysts give enough time to analyze duties and speculate about what will happen in the coming season.

It is currently the first anger to take up the NFL design of 2025 and the effects on the assets of a team. According to all reports, the Tennessee Titans had a solid nine man design class and may have received contributions from everyone in the future.

Count Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated as one who likes what the titans did and is optimistic in the direction in which he moves forward.

Tennessee Titans

I am optimistic of where the Tennessee will be led and what you will put around Cam Ward in autumn. And that is partly because I think that the quarterback reviews bought them at the end to concentrate on everything they wanted to achieve in their first draft with GM Mike Borgonzi and a redesigned front office on site. I think two picks from last weekend can illustrate this.

These two picks were Kevin Winston Jr. and Gunnar Helm. Both players were limited to a certain extent during the preliminary draft process due to medical problems, but their band shows production and skills that could overcome their current exhibition elements.

The first was Penn State Safety Kevin Winston Jr. last season when Nittany Lion ended in September with a partial crack for his ACL, which led to an operation. The teams left a little back – which is understandable. But the titans had him at the top of the second round, as a type with the size and strength to play near the line, as well as speed and reach to play deep. They could feel its effects on the tape.

Raw speed was a question. He was not ready to run at the combine. But weeks later, on his pro day, just six months before the operation, he drove a 4.5 rescue section for the scouts in the 40-yard dash. This showed that his rehab went well, his determination to show the NFL people what he had and the potential that he was actually a bit faster.

The titans took him with the 82nd choice.

The ironic thing with Winston is that most analysts were widely accepted, that the injury was the only reason why he was available during this design and that it was almost generally regarded as one of the top security prospects minus the ACL. Yes, the selection of a player from an injury is a risk, but for Borgonzi and the reconstruction -teans, this was only a good value for a potential impact player.

Then there was Texas te Gunnar Helm. The 4.84 helmets, a hyperproductive weapon in a group of skill players occupied with stars, ran its stock in Indy. But if they dug deeper, you would see that he had a false start the first time he tried and when he pushed back into the line, he shook his ankle heavily. He disappointed it and ran his two 40s, albeit much slower than he would have liked it, and after that his ankle was black and blue everywhere. On the Pro day he tried not another 40 because of the ankle, but fought through exercises.

The titans grabbed him with the 120th choice.

While Helm was not in the design boards near the two best ends, his production in the SEC with Texas should have had him in the draft from the board. He may not be a Uber athlete, but he is a nuanced route runner and is well rounded enough to get into the league and get an impression.

Helm is the type of safety ceiling that can grow with the quarterback and can develop together.
