The Tennessee Titans<\/a> added another offensive player with their second fourth-round pick of the 2025 NFL draft<\/a>, picking Texas tight end Gunnar Helm<\/a> with the No. 120 overall selection.<\/p>\n

Helm, at 6-foot-5 and 241 pounds, was a big-time producer last year at Texas with 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior. He was a depth piece in 2022 and 2023 before his breakout season.<\/p>\n

Despite that production, questions about his blocking ability and poor testing at the NFL combine pushed his stock down to Day 3.<\/p>\n

Here’s how The Tennessean grades the Titans<\/a>‘ fourth-round pick:<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans No. 120 overall pick grade<\/p>\n

The grade:\u00a0B<\/p>\n

Why? Helm ran a 4.84 40 at the combine, contributing to his availability in Day 3 after a productive 2024 season at Texas. Helm’s film, though shows good ability in contested catches. If he can become an average blocker, there’s potential here as a possible starter in time. Helm has better play speed than he ran at the combine, but he won’t run by linebackers.<\/p>\n
