Titans Expected to Draft Cam Ward First Overall

The Tennessee Titans are expected to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, as confirmed by multiple analysts. The team faces challenges in its receiving corps, with Calvin Ridley being the only reliable option following significant roster changes, prompting calls to also draft top receiver Luther Burden III from Missouri to support Ward. Despite some doubts about Ward's first-round viability, he has managed to convince the Titans of his potential. The cancellation of a private workout with Shedeur Sanders further indicates Tennessee's commitment to Ward as their primary target. Analysts note that both Ward and Sanders face challenges in adapting to the NFL's quicker pace, particularly regarding decision-making under pressure. Ultimately, the Titans will need to ensure they adequately develop Ward to maximize his talents in the professional arena.
