Tennessee Titans' Cam Ward named one of the drafts biggest winners by CBS Sports

[ASFN Admin]

Now that the dust has settled following the 2025 NFL draft, media outlets and analysts will start the instant analysis phase and start breaking down every aspect of the event. By all accounts, the Tennessee Titans had a good draft, adding both talent and depth to the roster and addressing areas of need across the board.

They also had a player that was singled out as one of the biggest winners in this draft class by John Breech of CBS Sports in his look at the 2025 NFL draft winners and losers.

Cam Ward.

After taking Ward with the first overall pick, the Titans did their best to surround him with a few weapons. In the fourth round alone, the Titans selected two receivers (Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor) and a tight end (Gunnar Helm). With those three picks, the Titans became the first team in 17 years to draft three pass catchers in a single round. Ward was also granted permission by Warren Moon to wear his retired No. 1 in Tennessee.

Oh, and the Titans also went out and signed Ward's college WR1 Xavier Restrepo as an undrafted free agent after the draft. After getting drafted by Tennessee, Ward hinted at the fact that he'd like to play with Restrepo, and the Titans clearly got the message.

While Breech did not mention it in his comments, the Titans also added veteran wideout Tyler Lockett in the hours leading up to the draft. This move will also benefit Ward (and the young receivers) as he starts to immerse himself into the Titans culture and take over as the starting quarterback.
