Rylan Lynn from Wibaux, Montana
Question: Hey Jim, draft week!!!! With the #1 pick, the Tennessee Titans select… CAM WARD!!!!!!! My question is, at his ceiling, where do you think Cam Ward will rank among NFL QBs? I've heard from 11-15 range a lot, but people are comparing his playmaking ability to Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen, so do you think he could rank in the top 10, maybe even the top 5 perhaps?
Jim: Hey Rylan. No way I'm putting this pressure on any rookie. We'll have to wait and see.
Jeffery Raney from Pittsburgh, Texas
Question: Hello Jim. I think Cam Skattebo would be a perfect addition to the RB room and can offer some value at tight end if needed what do you think about him being a fit on the TITANS?
Jim: I think Skattebo would be a fit on any team. The kid is a baller. I saw him when he came in on his visit, and he's stout. The problem is every other NFL team knows this as well.
Jeremy Rodriguez from Winchester, California
Question: Long time, no type Jim! Hope all is well! So excited to kick off draft week. I read your piece on how Callahan is planning to kick off the offseason schedule and how he wants to change some of the philosophy, I think finding out how to play disciplined football should be up there. The Titians were one if not the most penalized team last year. Giving up free yards has to be a top priority. I am excited to see how the draft plays out and how Callahan and Borgonzi handle the 8 picks they have. Have a great week and as always TITAN UP!!!!!
Jim: You must be spending a lot of time at the grill, Jeremy. Callahan definitely wants to clean a lot of things up in Year 2. It's starts in the offseason. The draft, well, it's now two days away…
Trout Dawg from Long Beach, California
Question: These people that want to get rid of Big Jeff are out of there minds,, Ward in the first round ,, build the trenches !!! the DB from UGA is a Dawg,, Starks, WR Ole Miss dude Harris ,, Mizzou Burden will be gone ,,anyways Titan Up and Baba Booey to you all!!
Jim: Baba Booey, TD.
Jack Viohl from Kapaa, Hawaii
Question: I'm sure it would boost fan morale to nab Travis Hunter or Cam Ward, but what is the likelihood that the Titans will trade down to fill more holes and get a 1st rd. Pick next year to package for a shot at Arch Manning? It is my hope they will scoop up Will Campbell a little later in rd. 1. This year, and make a run for Manning next.
Jim: I've had others suggest the Arch Manning play. This would likely mean the team would have to be terrible again in 2025. Would fans really root for that? … One person in my final mock draft roundup tabbed Will Campbell to the Titans. The final roundup will be released on Thursday morning, by the way.
Steve Ferrell from Pandora, Ohio
Question: I'm curious as to why no one is talking about Will Howard and getting Carter in the first round #TitanUp
Jim: Well, I guess you're talking about it, Steve.
William Woods from Pembroke, Ontario
Question: As the draft approaches, many fans I've encountered are suggesting that we should trade Big Jeff, and I completely agree. If we decide to trade Jeff, we should also consider trading Sneed. Why? Big Jeff's numbers have been declining, and at 28 years old, his value is unlikely to remain high for the rest of his career before it starts to drop. Regarding Sneed, I believe he is unnecessary on our roster. Last season, we had one of the best-ranked pass defenses in the league, finishing at #2. It doesn't make sense to pay $76 million just to improve by one spot, especially considering his age. If we take Cam Ward with the first overall pick and if Deone Walker is still available at 35, we should definitely trade Big Jeff. We could easily acquire a second and a third-round pick for him, and with Sneed, we could get at least a second-round pick. Given how deep the cornerback class is in this draft and the surprising success of our DB room last season, trading Sneed is a move we should make without hesitation this draft weekend.If we weren't picking first overall, I would be against trading these players because we would still be in a win-now position. However, since we have the first pick, it's time for a rebranding and a new direction for the team. Although Jeff has been a significant part of our team, making these trades would ultimately benefit us. As always #TITANUP
Jim: Thanks for weighing in, William.
Alberto Armando T llez Salcedo from Victoria de Durango
Question: Hola Jim para que no se pierda la costumbre como cada Draft te mando mi Mock de nuestros Titans.
1. Cameron Ward QB, Miami
35. Luther Burden WR, Missouri
103. Josaiah Stewart ER, Michigan
120. Ashton Gillotte ER, Louisville
141. Tez Johnson WR, Oregon
167. Jonas Sanker S, Virginia
178. J.J. Pegues DT, Mississippi
188. Elijah Roberts DT, SMU.
De no estar Burden ni Egbuka me gustar a Jayden Higgins, de estar en el pick 141 Xavier Restrepo o en el 167 Kyle Williams ir a por ellos ya que son perfectamente conocidos por Cam Ward. Otra si en el pick 103 esta disponible Cameron Skattebo ir a por el.
Saludos Jim y como siempre lo he dicho en Mexico, estamos la aficion m s fiel al equipo, pues apoyamos desde que eran Houston Oilers. Vamos los Titanes, Titan Up y Luv Ya Blue.
Jim: Gracias!
Greg Swaw from Bon Aqua, Tennessee
Question: Hey Jim not really a question just my opinion. I know I'm in the minority here but I sincerely hope we do not take Ward at #1. Personally I prefer Carter, I personally don't see a QB worthy of #1 overall. Plus if they take Ward at 1 and he flames out everyone will be out. I believe taking a perceived need over a game changer early is bad business. Levis has never had a fair chance with our horrible offensive line and receiving core. Thanks for reading bud
Jim: Thanks for taking the time, Greg.
Mike Temple from Chattanooga, Tennessee
Question: Hello Jim. Thanks for your recent story on the Titans adding 3 more experienced NFL offensive linemen to the roster this week. By my count the Titans have quietly added 6 new offensive linemen since the season ended - Moore, Zeitler, Hance, Mustipher, Udoh, and Jaimes. I expect Skoronski, Latham and Cushberry to continue to improve. We also brought back Levin, Rupcich, Duncan, and Ojukwu for depth. For a team with an offensive line that struggled last season, the sum total of this personnel activity seems like a big deal to me! Of course, all eyes will be on the Draft next week to see if we can add some new offensive playmakers - QB, WR, a big RB? - and perhaps an edge rusher. But it's good to know that the team has used free agency to upgrade the foundational big men up front! Tip of the cap to our new GM. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the Draft next week. The rebuild continues, Mike
Jim: It's going to be a new-look, revamped offensive line for sure in 2025. The big question for me is whether Lloyd Cushenberry will be ready for the start of it. Callahan sounded optimistic when discussing Cushenberry at the owners meetings several weeks ago, but the addition of two more centers at least has me wondering.
Andy Stambene from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Question: Its the last week before the Titans go to the Podium for numero uno selection...exciting time for the Fans and especially for the Players and Coaches, Scouts, Ownership...Well Mr Jim I was all over the pick of Abdul Carter but only by trading down and securing more picks for the ailing Titans...I have to say I've done an about face and like a QB...its best only because you know what you have in the here and now and not have to wait for an uncertain future...a lot can happen...its a gamble but Carter's injury is a Gamble too so let the Draft begin with Cam Ward and a WR in the 2nd round perhaps Emeka Egbuka or Tre Harris or a trade down...if not one of them...then at 103 which will seem like an eternity after 35 the Titans select an Edge defender...hopefully 1 is available they like maybe Kyle Kennard or Josiah Stewart,Fadil Diggs? If not Best Player Available...At 120 I like Dont'e Thornton or Pat Bryant though I like Xavier Restrepo too but fear he'll be long gone...or if all else fails OG Jackson Slater...at 141 OG Luka Kandra hopefully...or a LB... Safety Craig Woodman or Kitan Crawford at 167,Aeneas Peebles at 178 and Jeffrey Bassa round out the draft at 188...Thanks for this Forum Mr Jim its always great to get on here and read about what your opinion is and the opinion of others 1 way or the other...Have a great week Sir and regards to your Famiglia
Jim: We're just two days away now, Andy!
Jack Walker from Calabasas, California
Question: Hey Jim. Here we go. My prediction. Titans executed a magnificent campaign to inflate the value of R1P1 and trade back to 3 for a 2026 R2 and 34 and 65. Titans take Abdul Carter at 3, Luther Burden III at 34, Kenneth Grant at 35, Jalen Milroe at 65, Kyle Kennard at 95.
Will Levis and Jalen Milroe go head to head to compete with the veteran QB in the room. And with one RD1 and two RD2 in 2026 the Titans are all set to draft Drew Allar or Arch Manning if Levis and Milroe flop.
Have fun this week and thanks for all you do!
Jim: Man, California is ready for this draft! Thinking outside the box here, Jack.
Bobby French from Big Sandy, Tennessee
Question: Hey Jim, it's that time of year again, when we get all hyped up for the NFL draft. For me I have been a fan since the oilers/titans moved to Tennessee, I was in the 8th grade I think when I started this Fandom and now I am almost 40 years old and since I have waited this long for this team to win a Super Bowl, I can absolutely endure the pain and suffering for a few more years for arch manning because Jim if he is anything close to Peyton and Eli there is no way I can watch him get drafted to the colts and have to suffer like we did during the Peyton Manning years again.
Jim: Man, a lot of Arch Manning discussion in here. Do people actually think he's better than Diego Pavia?
Jim Williams from Lubbock, Texas
Question: Hi Jim. It looks like Cam Ward will be the Titans' first pick. That's probably the best choice now that the offensive line has been strengthened through free agency. And the other possible first pick, Abdul Carter, is dealing with injuries now. Hopefully, Ward will have to earn the starting QB spot and not have it handed to him. The other three quarterbacks on the roster have all started NFL games and will make the rookie work for the starting job. Now for my question: If the Titan brass can't agree on who to take with any of the draft picks, just who will make the final decision? Will it be you? LOL. Thanks, Jim.
Jim: I can guarantee you it won't be me, Jack!
Have a great draft week everyone!
