Matthew Stafford continues to impress at 37, maintaining a high level of performance, while the Los Angeles Rams navigate the draft without a second-round pick. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans' strategic moves in free agency suggest a firm plan to secure a quarterback prospect for their future.
By adding free agent left tackle Dan Moore Jr. and veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, the Titans have upgraded their committee approach. This decision is another indication of their willingness to stay put in the draft and select a quarterback. Recent upheaval on their QB depth chart has seen them add Brandon Allen and lose Mason Rudolph back to Pittsburgh. And now, unfortunately, the Titans have a tough decision on their hands. They’re deciding between prospects at the top, including Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders — a strong candidate to be the third overall pick.
Cam Ward, who opted out of throwing at the combine, is generating anticipation ahead of his pro day on March 24. The Titans will have enough time between pick #2 and #11 to determine whether Ward or Sanders have franchise QB potential. The quarterback depth in New York is even worse. With Tommy DeVito as the only passer currently under contract, it will be imperative for teams to move quickly to secure the most promising quarterbacks.
Jihaad Campbell arrived at Alabama’s pro day with his arm in a sling. In a weak edge-rushing class, he provides huge upside to teams such as the Giants, who could use his unique pass-rush skills to go far. Todd Bowles could leverage Campbell's underrated abilities both as a blitzer and off the edge, should he become part of their plans.

The Raiders, with Pete Carroll on the sidelines, are expected to focus heavily on their running game, evidenced by Ashton Jeanty's impressive 2,601 rushing yards last season. Elsewhere, the Texans recently signed Cam Robinson to fill the void left by Laremy Tunsil, yet they still aim to bolster their offensive line with high-caliber starters.
Even after bringing in Cooper Kupp, the Seahawks are still looking to add competition at outside receiver spots. As these developments unfold, teams like the Titans are strategically positioned to make pivotal draft choices that could profoundly impact their future performance.
