It is a week earlier than the NFL Draft, which begins on April 24 in Inexperienced Bay, and rumors are swirling.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is as plugged in as they arrive, and lots of think about him probably the most trusted supply within the NFL. Schefter is reporting he is aware of precisely what the Tennessee Titans are going to do with choose No. 1 within the 2025 NFL Draft — pending any wild trades, after all.
“These chimes are music to all people’s ears and the Titans are on the clock and the choose is predicted to be Cam Ward, barring some last-minute, unexpected provide rolling into Tennessee,” mentioned Schefter on ESPN’s “Get Up” on Thursday (h/t On3). “The Titans are on the lookout for their quarterback of the longer term. They imagine Cam Ward is their quarterback of the longer term and so they appear like they might be constructing round, their program round that quarterback.”
Cam Ward was a Heisman candidate at Miami, and he appears to suit the prototypical “franchise quarterback” make-up in 2025. He threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns final season for the Hurricanes, in comparison with simply seven interceptions. He may run a bit of bit. He added 4 touchdowns on the bottom for Miami to convey his complete touchdowns in 2024 to 43. A season earlier than that at Washington State, he notched eight touchdowns on the bottom.
There are dangers with each choose, however Ward does appear to have the best flooring of all of the quarterbacks. Shedeur Sanders might have the best ceiling, however he’ll come together with some baggage for Tennessee — primarily his father, Deion “Primetime” Sanders.
Do you’re taking the secure choose or do you’re taking the high-upside choose? Talking of Sanders, there’s at all times his teammate, Travis Hunter, who has the potential to be a star at huge receiver or cornerback within the NFL, and he desires to play each methods.
If Ward actually is the choose for Tennessee, the Titans must get this one proper. They missed on Will Levis within the 2023 draft, however he was picked No. 33 and never at choose No. 1 total.
