2025 NFL Draft grades: Is Cam Ward an ‘A’ for Titans at No. 1 overall?

What has been mocked everywhere for months became official Thursday night: The Tennessee Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Yes, draft day in Green Bay is finally here, and FOX Sports draft expert Rob Rang is analyzing and grading every first-round selection in real time. Did your team make the right move?

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Rang: Ward's improvement as an NFL prospect over the course of his college career is one of the most inspirational and unlikely I've seen in 25 years as an NFL Draft analyst. Early on at Washington State, I wasn't sure he'd make it in the CFL. By the time he'd left Pullman for Miami, it was clear Ward was an NFL talent, but a middle-round prospect at that. And then this past season — against the best competition of his life - Ward unleashed a quicker release, stronger arm and greater pocket awareness for Miami than he'd ever shown at WSU (or Incarnate Word before that), tantalizing scouts with his still-untapped potential. Put simply, Ward doesn't have the same floor of most QB1s. He is too cavalier with the football, excelling in more of a backyard style than I'd prefer. But he is a born playmaker with the talent and work ethic to spark a franchise. There are more surefire NFL stars in this class, but not at quarterback, so give the Titans credit, they are trying to compete for a Super Bowl and not just a return to relevancy with this selection.
