I think it's obvious at this point the Titans are taking Ward. I'm on board and think his ceiling is pretty high. Callahan gave an interview to A to Z after the season that was super revealing about t

I'm totally fine with the Titans drafting Ward. Enough people think he can be good and he's shown enough NFL traits. It would not be like the Titans overdrafting Anthony Richardson or Trey Lance.

Sure, they are looking at a cap mess in the very near future, which they pushed back yet again.
 

That doesn’t mean that they can’t win games in 2025. But beyond that? Not many coaches want a team on the brink of a rebuild where getting fired in 3 years seems downright likely.

2027 is said to be when there will be a lot of cap room.

By having worse players? What do you mean? Go look at their roster lol

Its possible we won't improve, but the OL took a hit when McCoy went down. Center is the most important OL position as it has the biggest success rate for a QB. Brees played without a good center in 2014 and we saw how disastrous that was. That's why the Graham trade happened. Unger was a need. 

When McCoy got back, they didn't have any of the other weapons. Giants do not have a bad defense so they locked down MVS, who basically determined our production since he started. Then Carr goes down. The OL still had holes that was masked by Hill, Shaheed, Kamara, and Olave drawing coverage. It's easy to box Kamara and take out a boom or bust receiver like MVS. The Saints, should they stay put, should be able to get a decent weapon like Loveland or add offensive line depth.

Well McCarthy declined because he knew he wasn't going to likely get the job.

Do you disagree with the other post that I made?  I have nothing against the Saints, I just think their time has come to do a full rebuild.  They had a good run and won a Super Bowl.  I wish the Titans could have a run like the Saints had.  But trying to hang onto whatever they're trying to hang on to is not good for the franchise.  IMO.

Good read.  Ngyuen is really high on him and he's a pretty sharp X&O and evaluator in the media.

Though I have been wrong on many draft prospects, one of my best calls was ranking Patrick Mahomes QB1 ahead of Deshaun Watson heading into the 2017 NFL Draft. I’ve since rejected any comparisons of college prospects to Mahomes, and I’m not making one today, but I will say that Miami’s Cam Ward, the consensus QB1 in this year’s draft, shares one of Mahomes’ most important traits: A special awareness of everything happening on the football field.

 

Ward doesn’t have Mahomes’ all-world arm talent, and Mahomes has since combined that sixth sense with a mastery of how defenses have been trying to defend him over the years.

But Ward’s awareness is just innate. We’ve all seen the amazing plays he can make outside of the pocket, connecting with receivers that many quarterbacks may not even see while on the run.

 

However, out-of-structure plays can only take you so far in the NFL. What makes Ward a special prospect is how he applies his awareness and creativity to plays within the structure of the offense, within the pocket.

 

Ward’s big plays outside of structure are spectacular, but his creativity from within the pocket is what could make him a special quarterback in the NFL. He has to be more willing to take easy, shorter completions rather than big-game hunt all the time, but it’s easier to get a quarterback to be more conservative than more aggressive. Also, how he looks for big plays is closer to the process of some of the best quarterbacks in the league rather than just recklessly chucking the ball deep.

 

This is a weak quarterback class overall, but Ward is by far the best prospect and deserves to be picked first. Titans head coach Brian Callahan worked with Joe Burrow, who likes to play out of shotgun and brilliantly balances in-structure play and out-of-structure play. It’s hard to imagine the Titans not taking Ward No. 1.
