The Tennessee Titans picked Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike with the No. 103 pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, adding him to a class headlined by No. 1 pick Cam Ward.
Dike, the 6-foot receiver who blazed to a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, totaled 139 catches for 2,261 yards and 11 touchdowns across five college seasons at Wisconsin and Florida. Dike’s best season came at Wisconsin in 2022, but he re-emerged in 2024 as one of the nation’s top deep threats, averaging 18.6 yards per receptions.
Impressively, Dike stepped in and earned captain status in his one year at Florida. Dike ranked 11th among all Power 5 receivers in yards per reception last season, but despite his knack for field stretching he put together a plurality of his production on intermediate routes.
The Titans entered the 2025 NFL Draft with eight picks, including two apiece in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds. The Titans added their extra picks by trading away linebackers Ernest Jones IV and Kenneth Murray Jr., and receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but did not have a third round pick because of the trade to acquire cornerback L’Jarius Sneed. The team added a third round pick back via a trade in the second round, giving up pick No. 35 to acquire picks Nos. 52 and 82 from Seattle.
Last season, the Titans finished with a 3-14 record, tied for the worst in the NFL, and as such the team earned the No. 1 pick in the draft. Over the offseason, the Titans have added several pieces to improve the roster including offensive linemen Dan Moore Jr., and Kevin Zeitler, defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones and safety Xavier Woods.
In Ward, the Titans add the consensus No. 1 quarterback in the class and the NCAA Division I all-time leader in touchdown passes. The Titans drafted Ward over fellow quarterback prospects such as Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart, as well as top players at other positions such as edge rusher Abdul Carter and receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter.
