It’s hard to believe that in two weeks, the NFL draft will be nearing its conclusion, and fans will be able to start breaking down exactly what their team did during the three-day extravaganza while starting the process of evaluating every undrafted rookie who fell out of the draft.
In addition to all of the excitement the draft brings, it also marks the end of the mock draft season. For now, that part of the pre-draft process is still going strong, and outlets will finalize their draft boards and release their final mocks.
Heading into the draft, the Tennessee Titans appear to be the only team where analysts have reached a consensus on who will be taken at No. 1. Count Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY as one of those, as he, too, has the Titans selecting Cam Ward in USA TODAY Sports' latest 2025 NFL mock draft.
1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.)
At least the start of the draft seems to have some degree of certainty. With the Titans and Shedeur Sanders canceling their private workout, all signs point to Ward for the No. 1 pick. An electric presence behind center who still occasionally short-circuits when pressing, the 6-2, 219-pounder might seem like an atypical choice for a team looking to pivot from Will Levis' many miscues. But Ward's upward trajectory as a composed pocket passer suggests he could help Tennessee achieve some semblance of stability with its aerial attack while still maintaining a big-play flair.
By all accounts, Tennessee has fallen in love with Ward since the NFL combine, when it appeared that a potential deal to trade out of the top spot felt imminent. Right now, in a draft that offers little consensus of what will take place after the first selection, Ward seems to have found his place at the top.
