Titans Trade Up: Tennessee Adds Third-Round Pick in Deal With Seahawks

Table of Contents

The Tennessee Titans opted to keep their supporters in suspense a bit longer as they deliberated over whom they might select on day two of the 2025 NFL draft.

Once it was established that defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons wouldn’t be going anywhere, the Titans orchestrated a trade, sending pick number 35 to the Seattle Seahawks in return for picks numbered 52 in the second round and 82 in the third round.

The Titans still have several requirements to address and lacked a third-round pick after exchanging it with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024 for cornerback L'Jarious Sneed. They now must await which player might be available when their turn comes up at No. 52.

Mike Borgonzi, the general manager, has talked about raising funds to foster a culture where drafting and developing players becomes central to the team’s strategy, making this move less unexpected. Once their turn comes up, Tennessee might explore various options. They may prioritize selecting a wide receiver or an edge rusher, yet considering the strength of this year’s pool of talented prospects, numerous possibilities remain open for them.
