The Tennessee Titans have the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and it is largely thought that they will select a quarterback with that pick. That may not be the case, however, as more mock drafts show the Titans trading away that first pick and moving down to gain more draft capital.
Even if they don’t trade the first pick, they may not take a quarterback. They could choose to address the quarterback issue in free agency or via trade before they look at the draft. The team needs a quarterback who can contribute immediately, and optimism that either Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders can be that guy has decreased over the last few weeks.
However, Ward thinks he can be that guy and sent a message to any team that passes him over.
“If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault. You’ve got to remember you’re the same team that’s got to play me for the rest of my career, and I’ll remember that.” — #Miami QB Cam Ward.

While leading the Hurricanes in 2024, Ward completed 67.2% of his passes. He recorded 4,313 passing yards and 39 touchdowns with just seven interceptions, and his rating was 172.2. Pretty decent stats for a college quarterback.
But the question remains: How will his skillset translate to the NFL and how long will it take? The Titans don’t want to start over again with their quarterback, so they’ll have to really evaluate what the draft prospects have to offer.
And if they don’t draft Ward, well, apparently he’s going to remember that.
