Cam Ward is regarded as one of the finest quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL draft. Many also believe that the Miami star will be the No. 1 pick this year, since the Tennessee Titans might look to draft a quarterback.

On Monday, former Green Bay Packers wideout Greg Jennings shared his thoughts on 'First Things First,' as the panel discussed the possibility of Ward going to the Titans. Jennings explained why he believes Ward might not be guaranteed to be selected by the Titans with the top pick.

"I don't think it's a lock," Jennings said (2:55). "As bad as they need a quarterback, I don't know if they are truly believing and sold on the idea that one of these guys is their future. One of these guys being Cam and the other being Sheduer Sanders.

"Like, I get it, you gotta get a quarterback. That's just what everybody says you should do. But passing up on those two guys, like Abdul Carter, he's guaranteed. Or Travis Hunter, who is pretty much a lock. If you say Cam Ward is that guy, and he turns out not to be that guy, like you're still in that situation that you're trying to muddle out of with Will Levis from a couple years ago, or Malik Willis from the third round [in 2022], like, then, you missed. And you got a sure thing in other guys as far as best total football players."

The Titans cannot afford to squander their top pick this year if they are looking for a rebuild. While they do need a top-tier quarterback, they also need to decide whether it's the best overall decision for the franchise that needs to strengthen in other positions as well.
