| 0:00.0 | The pick is in. |
| 0:06.8 | With the first pick, the Tennessee Titans select Cam Ward, quarterback University of Miami. |
| 0:14.1 | Let's bring in host of Locked on Titans, Tyler Rowland to break that down. |
| 0:18.5 | So Tyler Cam Ward, is he worthy of that first overall picked over? |
| 0:22.9 | Do you feel like he's just maybe the best QB in a week draft class? |
| 0:27.6 | Well, I think both of those things are true. He is the best QB in a week draft class, but I also do |
| 0:32.3 | think he is worthy of the number one pick. Now, is Cam Ward the certified number one |
| 0:36.5 | overall pick like Andrew Luck or |
| 0:38.7 | Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence were when they came out? No, but have any of those quarterbacks |

| 1:16.6 | combine it with the off-field intangibles that Cam Ward brings to the table as a leader who's |
| 1:21.5 | been to multiple schools and always endeared himself to his teammates in the program. |
| 1:25.2 | He's a great person. He's a great player. And that makes him absolutely worthy of the number one overall pick. And I love your optimism there, |
| 1:32.2 | Tyler, but you're absolutely right. Both things can be true at the same time. Now, we have heard |
| 1:37.6 | much chronicled, much talked about his questionable throwing mechanics and consistency. But for you, |
| 1:44.0 | are those concerns? And if they are |
