With the 2025 NFL draft less than a month away, what the Tennessee Titans are going to do with the top pick is still a bit of a mystery.
While all signs point to Miami quarterback Cam Ward, general manager Mike Borgonzi recently talked openly about all options still being on the table and that no final decision has been made.
Head coach Brian Callahan seemed to back this up during a recent conversation at the Annual League Meeting when he met with NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.

"I think it's a short list at No. 1 for sure, it's all the guys that I think are worthy of it, the ones that everyone talks about out there, and between Travis (Hunter) and Shedeur (Sanders) and Cam (Ward) and Abdul Carter, I think those are, those are the top of the draft for me, those are the most elite players in the draft," Callahan told Pelissero. "There's certainly going to be a lot of good ones that come after them, but I think those at this moment are the best players in the draft and at the top of it."
This list should come as no surprise to anyone. These are four players that have been connected to the Titans throughout the pre-draft process and are widely considered to be top prospects either in need and in overall value.
After the Titans sent a large contingent to Miami for Ward’s Pro Day and then followed that up with a private workout on Friday, he would likely be considered the favorite at the moment. But there are some things to pay attention to in the coming days that may offer some more insight.
Colorado has their Pro Day scheduled for April 4 and the size of the Titans' entourage will be something to monitor. If they send the same group to Boulder to see Hunter and Sanders, then what Callahan said could be considered legitimate.
One more thing to monitor is the health of Abdul Carter. While the Titans didn’t send the same group to Penn State for their Pro Day, the star edge did not work out due to injury and only met with teams to discuss his status. If healthy, the Titans could possibly hold a private workout leading up to the draft on April 24.
The Titans could go many different ways in this draft and have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks. Until a name is called or a decision is leaked, expect the speculation to grow as the days count down.
