Oh hell no…that’s a hard pass for me. Huge projection of a pick…I’m not nearly as high on him as others. Hell, I’d take princely over him and he’s projected as a late 1st/early 2nd guy.

From Sharp Football Analysis…

“Titans settled on Cam Ward?

Almost all mock drafts have the Tennessee Titans selecting Cam Ward with the first overall selection, especially after Tennessee sent a large contingent to Miami's Pro Day including their in-house video production team.

That certainly sounds like the Titans tipped their hand, but I'm still 50/50 on the prediction.

Let me lay out my thought process.

The Titans sending their production team seems like an obvious tip of the pick, but in my 22 years covering the draft, I've never heard of non-front office/coaching employees knowing about a selection a full month before the draft.

The explanation for the video crew's attendance is likely that Tennessee is producing some type of in-house production on the process leading up to the No. 1 pick.

But we'll know for certain if they show up for the workouts of Abdul Carter (March 28) and Shedeur Sanders (April 4).”

I also don't believe Tennessee is 100% on Ward yet. I think they are still doing homework. I think they want Ward to be the guy and will give it every opportunity.

Carter is going to be a good player and they will have to pass on him so they had better be sure on Ward.

Since the majority of quarterback-needy teams have already signed or traded for veterans, and are now showing interest in Day 2 prospects, we should start to strongly consider the possibility that at least one of the top quarterback prospects (mostly Shedeur Sanders, but possibly also Cam Ward) experiences draft-day fall.

IMO, Sanders is the guy who could fall.
I didn't watch any Colorado games, but I have seen some highlights and his arm is average at best.
If Schoen/Daboll are truly on the hot seat, how does reaching for Sanders at 3 possibly help them this year?
It seems to me that it's just a bunch of the usual media QB hype to attract viewers.

His arm is terrible for a first round qb. Guy would be a 2nd-3rd rounder if not for the sanders name/hype.

Cam Ward is a legit top 10 guy, but much closer to 10 than #1.

Dart is probably a better prospect than sanders if things were fair. If Dart had the last name "sanders" you'd see him drafted over shadeur.
