Titans Warned Against Drafting Cam Ward Amid Rumors

Ward wasn't considered a slam dunk for the top pick after the college football season.Many thought Colorado's Shedeur Sanders could be valued higher. Also, most draft experts believe that Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter and Colorado hybrid star Travis Hunter are better prospects.AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementHowever, quarterback is the most important position in football and the Titans have a need. Even with that in mind, some experts still think Tennessee should hold off on addressing the quarterback need.Former Miami QB Cam Ward.Brett Davis-Imagn ImagesThe Athletic's Nick Baumgardner thinks that the Titans are setting themselves up for failure if they draft a quarterback this year."This team needs a complete teardown, right to the studs," Baumgardner wrote.
