The Music City Audible: A Tennessee Titans Podcast

Justin Melo and Justin Graver are back to come up with realistic trade packages the Titans could receive in return for moving out of the number one overall pick. We start with the recent report from Ian Rapoport that the Titans are "open" to "potentially" trading the top pick in the draft (1:36). Then, we look at the history of trades involving the number one overall pick to determine what the Titans might actually be able to get (7:13) and start putting together some pick packages for the teams that could be willing to come up (11:58). Finally, we hit I'll Drink To That presented by Sinkers Beverages to celebrate the Titans position in the waiver order (26:20).

Justin Melo and Justin Graver are joined by Travis Wingfield to dive deep into Cam Ward's strengths and weaknesses as a quarterback prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. But before Travis joins the show, we hit I'll Drink To That presented by Sinker's Beverages to discuss some Senior Bowl takeaways (2:47). Then, Travis hops on to break down Miami quarterback Cam Ward, starting with what makes him such an exciting prospect (7:01). Travis compares Ward to past quarterback prospects and how Ward stacks up (12:52). We spend a long time talking through what Ward does well, especially the non-negotiable QB traits (16:55), including his "nervous system" (30:00) before we flip the script and cover the weaknesses and concerns (34:08). Finally, Travis fills in the blank: The Titans must draft Cam Ward because... (45:42). After we say goodbye to Travis, we wrap things up with our final thoughts and takeaways (48:20).
