Dan Graziano defines Cam Ward as 'the most likely outcome' for Titans No. 1 pick

ESPN’s Dan Graziano said it was pretty likely that Cam Ward is going to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Tennessee Titans will get their new franchise QB.

There was a debate going into the offseason whether the Miami quarterback or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders would go first. It has all shifted over to Ward at this point.

But there was also a question of whether the Titans were going to even draft a quarterback. Based on what Graziano’s hearing, Ward is going to be the guy.

“Still nothing set in stone, but it does start to sound like more and more people around the league are convinced that it’s Cam Ward headed to the titans with the one pick,” Graziano said on Get Up. “Obviously talked about in the earlier segment, teams can change their minds falling in our love, etc. But it seemed like most of the people I talked to this week were speaking as if Cam Ward to the Titans at one was the most likely outcome.”

Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi already hinted at possibly selecting Ward with the top selection. It’s hard to pass on a team changing player.

“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,” Borgonzi said, via Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com. “I think anytime you can find a quarterback that can lift your football team and that you feel is the caliber of player you’re talking about, those guys are worth more. There is really no price on those guys.”

If there’s no price on “those guys,” which could mean Ward, then the Titans are likely keeping that top selection. The former Hurricane is seen as a franchise changing talent.

He continually got better at the collegiate level, starting at Incarnate Word, then Washington State and finally Miami. This past season, Ward lit the world on fire with 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 67.2% completion percentage.

“We’re getting closer to this decision,” Borgonzi said. The draft is now less than a month away.

The NFL Draft is scheduled for April 24th to 26th in Green Bay where Ward and potentially a few more quarterbacks will go in the first round.
