Titans’ No. 1 Pick in Play: The Tennessee Titans, holding the top pick, are heavily linked to Miami quarterback Cam Ward as their potential franchise QB. However, there’s chatter that they’re open to trading the pick if the right offer comes along. Teams like the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, and New Orleans Saints—each with quarterback needs—are rumored to be eyeing a move up, though no deal is confirmed. The expectation right now is that the Titans would select Ward, and that they are falling in love with Ward the closer we get to the draft.

Browns’ QB vs. Defense Debate: At No. 2, the Cleveland Browns are a wild card. Some rumors suggest they’re leaning toward Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter to bolster their defense alongside Myles Garrett, especially after a disappointing season. Others point to a visit from their front office to see Cam Ward, hinting they might not pass on a QB again after the Deshaun Watson saga. The direction remains unclear, fueling speculation. But we hear that Ward is the quarterback they want, and not Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, which points to Carter as the selection here.

Giants’ QB Plans Post-Wilson: The New York Giants, sitting at No. 3, signed Russell Wilson, but rumors persist that they’re still targeting a quarterback like Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. Alternatively, some buzz suggests they could opt for the best player available, such as two-way star Travis Hunter, especially if they trust Wilson as a bridge. Their presence at every Colorado game this year adds fuel to the Sanders-Hunter debate.
