TitansInsider.com Terry McCormick writes that the Tennessee Titans have become sold on taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in next Thursday night's 2025 NFL draft. Although this year's QB class is widely regarded as weak across the board, the Titans entered the offseason fully expected to give former second-rounder Will Levis competition after he flopped in 2024. Initially, Ward was a wild-card in the Titans' evaluations and it looked like Colorado's Shedeur Sanders would be a better fit for head coach Brian Callahan's offense. However, an 18-minute conversation with Ward at the combine in February may have been what really sold the Titans on him. The 22-year-old then "knocked it out of the park" in his official top-30 visit on March 7. Tennessee came away even more impressed with Ward after his Pro Day workout on March 24, and he's likely going to be their starter under center come Week 1 in 2025.

Dynasty | Multiple reports are circulating that Cam Ward is indeed going to be the first pick in next week's NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: At this point, it seems it would take what many are calling a historical trade package to move the Titans off Ward. After sneaking into the top spot the last week of the season, Tennessee tried its best to go in different direction but in the end, it seems they've been sold on Ward as their future. There's certainly nothing official here, but if they take someone else, this would be one of the greatest smokescreens in draft history.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that all signs appear to be pointing to the Tennessee Titans taking University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft. Russini goes on to say that the only way the Titans part with the No. 1 pick is through a history trade package. The Titans canceled their private workout with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders last week, which is further proof that they have their sights set on taking Ward as the first overall pick in a few weeks. Former second-rounder Will Levis flopped in his shot as the team's starting signal-caller in 2024 and led the league with 18 turnovers, leading to his benching. The 22-year-old will expected to come in immediately and start in Week 1 in 2025 after throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions last year.

ESPN's Jordan Reid writes that there seems to be three potential outcomes for the New York Giants at No. 3 overall in this year's NFL draft, assuming the Tennessee Titans take Miami quarterback Cam Ward at No. 1 overall. There three options are Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter, Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, and Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. The offseason additions of veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston give the Giants flexibility to add the best player available when they are on the clock, and general manager Joe Schoen stressed at the league meetings recently that the team would only go with a signal-caller "if the value was right." Carter could help a lethal pass-rush trio with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Hunter would give the G-Men intriguing possibilities on both offense and defense. As things currently stand, Sanders could be looking at all fall outside of the top three picks.

The Tennessee Titans are overwhelmingly expected to pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ward will give Tennessee its potential franchise quarterback, but the team still needs to address the wide receiver spot behind Calvin Ridley, who posted over 1,000 yards in his first year with the organization. According to ESPN's Matt Miller, Tennessee is expected to be aggressive in adding a wideout and could trade back into the first round to land Missouri's Luther Burden III or Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka. The two pass-catchers were all-conference performers in the SEC and Big Ten, respectively last season. That said, one or both wide receivers could be available with the Titans' No. 35 overall pick, so all options are on the table.

After previously being pretty sure that the Cleveland Browns would take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that signs are now pointing to Cleveland using the second overall pick on University of Colorado two-way player Travis Hunter. The Browns wanted to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 2 pick, but now it's become clear that the Tennessee Titans are going to hold onto the top pick to take Ward. Schefter says the Browns could take Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter to pair him with All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett, but the current intel he's received points to their pick being Hunter. The Browns really liked what they saw out of the Heisman Trophy winner at his Pro Day last Friday, and Schefter believes they view him more as a receiver than as a defensive back.

If the Tennessee Titans have indeed fallen in love with Miami quarterback Cam Ward, they may be unwilling to consider any trade offers for the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft. "I was taught over the years, if you find the quarterback that you want, and you think he's a franchise quarterback, then you're not going to pass on him," general manager Mike Borgonzi said. While Borgonzi isn't ruling anything out, he also said the Titans might not be open for business when teams come calling for the start of the first round on Thursday, April 24. The Athletic's Dianna Russini doesn't sense there's conviction yet for the Titans on what they want to do with the No. 1 overall pick, but regardless, Ward is considered the likely top pick this year. If they don't trade out of the top pick, Paul Kuharsky believes a trade of their second-round selection (35th overall) might be more likely.

Tennessee Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker noted that teams are still checking in on trades for the first overall pick in this year's draft. "People are checking in, going through their process. So, we'll see what happens," said Brinker. It seems unlikely that Tennessee will trade out of the No. 1 spot, but it may make sense for them to do so if they aren't trading back too far. The Titans have done their homework on former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward and will be represented at the Pro Days of QB Shedeur Sanders and WR/DB hybrid Travis Hunter. They're even keeping tabs on Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter (shoulder), with Brisker stating he is "very much on our radar." Many around the league consider Ward to be a lock for the Titans at one. However, the team will continue to do its due diligence in preparation for next month's draft.

Dynasty | The latest NFL Mock Draft on ESPN has Cam Ward going to Tennessee with pick #1. Dynasty Analysis: This is clearly the most likely scenario with the former Hurricane reportedly impressing the Titans at his recent workout and interview sessions. Ward may not quite be a lock to go first overall, but it seems to be getting closer by the day. Regardless, he looks like a solid pick in round one of rookie drafts if he does indeed go to the Titans, despite a lack of talent that would surround him.

According to Yahoo senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson, the Titans asking price for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is at least three first-round picks "or at least something of that value." Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the overwhelming favorite to be the top selection in April's draft, and the Titans have not signed any notable veteran quarterbacks. The current quarterback room in Tennessee features Will Levis, Brandon Allen, and Tim Boyle. All signs are pointing toward Ward ending up in Nashville, but general manager Mike Borgonzi is not completely closing the door on a potential trade out of the No. 1 selection. That said, it sounds like it would take a massive haul of picks or players for a QB-needy team like the Cleveland Browns or New York Giants to make the move up for Ward.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Wednesday that the Cleveland Browns are leaning toward selecting Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 2 overall pick in this April's NFL draft. The Tennessee Titans are saying they are still open to discussing trade offers for the No. 1 overall selection, but they've also become more and more enamored with Miami quarterback Cam Ward, leading to a belief that they will hang onto the top pick and take the signal-caller. Even though the 21-year-old Carter is recovering from a stress reaction in his right foot, the defensive end is still considered the clear top defensive prospect in this draft class and surely will not slip out of the top five. Cleveland currently has Kenny Pickett as the No. 1 QB on their depth chart, so a quarterback is a big need, but it could be hard to pass up adding Carter to their D-line opposite All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett.

There has been momentum building for the Tennessee Titans to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft in April. Ward is the overwhelming favorite to be the top selection, but Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said the team has not come to a final decision. "I would say everything is still on the table," Borgonzi said. "Now we're going through the process here with the college quarterbacks. But I'd say everything is still on the table right now." Tennessee added left tackle Dan Moore and right guard Kevin Zeitler this offseason to shore up its offensive line but has not added a significant quarterback. Will Levis and Brandon Allen are the only two quarterbacks under contract, which further suggests Ward will be their top pick next month. Ultimately, the Titans could seriously be considering trading out of the No. 1 pick, but the more likely case is that Borgonzi is simply willing to hear offers for the No. 1 overall selection. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it would take a significant haul for Tennessee to move down.

The Tennessee Titans will hold an additional private workout with potential No. 1 overall pick in Miami quarterback Cam Ward, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. At this workout, Ward will go through a throwing session after the Titans also had a full contingency on hand to watch his Pro Day workout on Monday. Tennessee has become increasingly impressed with Ward, and Schefter writes that while the Titans will still listen to trade offers for the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, it will now take an even stronger package to convince them to trade out of the first pick. The 22-year-old will almost certainly start on Day 1 for the Titans if they take him, especially after former second-rounder Will Levis was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph in 2024. Ward is the most pro-ready QB in a weak draft class and should be in play in superflex leagues in 2025 given his dual-threat abilities at the position.

Miami quarterback Cam Ward thinks he has "solidified" himself as the top overall pick in April's NFL draft after his Pro Day on Monday. Ward worked out in front of more than 90 NFL team staffers, including a full contingent from the Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 1 overall pick. "They finally got to see me throw in person. That should be all they need to see. But at the end of the day ... I'm going to be happy whatever team I go to. I'm just trying to play football," Ward said. In his lone season with the Hurricanes in 2024, Ward set single-season records for passing yards, completions, passing touchdowns and completion percentage and became the all-time FCS and FBS leader in passing TDS with 158. If Ward is taken by Tennessee first overall, he will almost certainly start in Week 1 after Will Levis, a former second-rounder, was benched last year in favor of Mason Rudolph.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on the Dan Patrick Show that from what he's gathered, the Tennessee Titans seem pretty comfortable holding onto the top overall pick in this year's draft to select University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who is the consensus top QB in what is considered a weak overall draft class. The Titans have already met with Ward and have come away impressed, and a report surfaced on Tuesday night that they might also be willing to trade Will Levis this offseason. Basically, there is momentum for the Titans to keep the No. 1 overall pick, which could complicate matters for the New York Giants, one of the few remaining teams without a plan at the most important position in football. Even if the Titans hang onto Levis going into training camp, if they take Ward first overall, he will be the likely starter come Week 1 in 2025.

University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the consensus No. 1 QB in this year's draft class, by a comfortable margin, according to some. However, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders' pocket-passing ability is appreciated and will make for an easy transition to the next level, which means he could be a slightly better option for the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 overall, according to multiple scouts. But the same scouts think that the Titans' three primary options will be Ward, Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter and trading out of the top spot. ESPN's Turron Davenport and Jeremy Fowler report that the majority of league personnel surveyed think that the Titans prefer to trade back. Both the Giants (No. 3 overall) and Jets (No. 7) reportedly have interest in moving up, but it remains to be seen how aggressive they'll be in a class that lacks top-end signal-callers. Gaining more draft capital could prove to be very attractive for Tennessee as they rebuild.

SNY's Connor Hughes came away from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis without a sense that the New York Jets will be overly aggressive to trade up to first or second overall to take a quarterback. They have contacted the Tennessee Titans about the No. 1 overall pick, but those talks were described as "preliminary" and "checking in." The cost of moving up that high would be extremely high, and neither Miami's Cam Ward nor Colorado's Shedeur Sanders are slam-dunk franchise QB prospects. SNY learned that the Jets are more likely to dabble in the second-tier veteran QB market, according to sources. The Jets' plan is to pair Tyrod Taylor with another veteran QB and then draft another signal-caller on Day 2 (or trade up late in the first round). Potential veteran targets include Marcus Mariota, Justin Fields and Carson Wentz.

The Tennessee Titans will have top-30 visits with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as expected, before the start of free agency on March 12. The Titans hold the top pick in this year's NFL draft in April. Around six of the team's other top-30 visits will be for first-round options in case they trade down within the first round, and the other 20 will be for players they might look to draft in the later rounds this year. Aside from the top overall pick, Tennessee has the No. 35 selection in the second round, two fourth-round picks (one from Seattle), two fifth-rounders (one from the Chiefs), a sixth-round pick, and a seventh-round selection. Even though the Titans are expected to add a QB this year, it may not come with the No. 1 overall pick if they decide to trade for or sign a veteran signal-caller.

University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward said he will not throw at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Saturday. Ward says his tape speaks for itself and he will instead throw at his school's Pro Day on March 24. It's no surprise, with most of the top prospects sitting out Combine workouts in favor of more controlled environments at their Pro Days. The 22-year-old signal-caller spent one year with the Hurricanes in 2024 and threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions. With elite athleticism as a dual-threat QB, Ward is in play to be the top overall pick in this year's NFL draft, along with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter. In addition to his 4,000-plus passing yards and 39 TDs through the air, Ward had 60 rushing attempts for 204 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill reports that the New Orleans Saints met with University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward at the NFL Combine on Thursday. Ward is a candidate to be taken No. 1 overall in this year's NFL draft as one of the top QBs in this year's class. It's not all that notable that the Saints actually met with Ward, as the Saints don't pick until ninth overall in this year's draft, and Ward is widely expected to go within the top three picks. Additionally, there's a good chance the Saints stick with veteran Derek Carr as their starter under center in new head coach Kellen Moore's first season with the team in 2025. However, with Carr carrying a $51.458 million salary cap hit this year, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Saints move on and then trade into the top portion of the draft to select Ward as their future signal-caller.
