In Dane Brugler's recent 2025 NFL mock draft, he predicts that the Tennessee Titans could land the second overall pick, indicating potential struggles for their current quarterback, Will Levis. While it's unlikely that the Titans will pick this high, Brugler suggests that if they do, they may need to reassess their quarterback situation.

Brugler's mock draft also dispels any notion of the Carolina Panthers selecting a defensive lineman with the first overall pick. Instead, he suggests that the Panthers would either trade the pick or seek a quarterback due to concerns surrounding Bryce Young, their current quarterback, if they were to hold the first pick.

According to Brugler, if the Titans find themselves picking second, they could opt for Carson Beck, the quarterback from Georgia. Beck's performance during his first year as a starter impressed scouts, showing consistent improvement with each game. His tape boasted impressive throws that earned him high praise from evaluators entering the season.

While the Titans potentially contemplating a quarterback selection at the top of the draft is significant, other notable placements in Brugler's mock draft include the Indianapolis Colts picking 12th, the Jacksonville Jaguars picking 15th, and the Houston Texans picking 26th. These projections hint at potential shifts in team dynamics and the importance of future talent acquisitions for these respective franchises.

It's important to remember that mock drafts are speculative and subject to change as the season progresses. The placement of teams in the draft order will largely depend on their performance and specific needs during the upcoming 2024 NFL season.

As the draft season approaches, fans eagerly await the actual outcomes and see how closely Brugler's projections align with reality. Until then, all eyes will be on these potential early picks and the impact they could have on the teams that select them.
