Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - TENNESSEE TITANS IDEAL MOCK DRAFT: Cam Ward's PERFECT PAIRING, Playmaker Potential & Day 3 Starters

Episode Date: April 20, 2025

Tennessee Titans Draft Week is HERE!!! The Titans are just days away from making their selections and Cam Ward will certainly be their first pick, but who comes next?? Tyler dives into a seven-round mock draft showing what a realistic and ideal mock draft would be for the Titans. Pairing Cam Ward with college teammate Kyle Williams would be a great move after trading down in the second round. Using the additional third round pick on edge rusher Femi Oladejo also checks a major box. Additional help at receiver and running back comes on Day 3 along with a backup for T'Vondre Sweat and a future starter on the offensive line.  Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TV Stick 4kDid you know your Fire TV is also an Xbox?

And I'm going to do what I think is a perfect, ideal, but also realistic mock draft for the Tennessee Titans. We're going to go through all seven rounds. I got a trade in there as well, but all mock drafts for the Titans need to start with cam ward at number one.

The Tennessee Titans with me here at the locked on Titans podcast. Shout out to my every dayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. If you aren't an everyday or now is the perfect time. I'm going to do my seven round mock draft for the Titans today. I'm going to do all of the visits that the Titans have had during the draft

process to show you who they've talked to on tomorrow's show. We're going to look at some pockets of players. The Tennessee Titans must get a player from on Wednesday, and then I'll have a full NFL draft first round preview for you on Thursday. I go live after every single round all weekend long. I'm going to have short content for you after each pick. I mean, what else could you possibly want? Get subscribed, stay subscribed, but with that in mind, the first pick in our seven-round mock draft is, of course, Cam Ward, quarterback out of Miami.

I'm not breaking any news here. Cam Ward will be the pick, but as a reminder, we've talked so much about Cam Ward that we've kind of lost the basic info. He's six foot one, 219 pounds, 22.9 years old. He's going to be 23 shortly. Cam Ward has elite playmaking talent. I'm not calling him an elite prospect, a generational prospect. Some of you guys don't have the intelligence, quite frankly, to understand that you could say someone has a generational skill without being a generational prospect. Some people just can't compute that, but that's the reality is he has generational playmaking talent while not being a generational prospect. And the arm talent, and it's not just the velocity, he has the ability to throw with

touch. He has the ability to throw with different arm angles from different slots What gives him the ability to get the ball to his players in different circumstances all of that's critical Excellent in the RPO game, which is something that is probably gonna be introduced into the Tennessee Titans offense quite a bit He's got an incredibly quick release as well He gets the ball out of his hands fast, more than just that stuff, Cam Ward is clutch. He comes through in the clutch, he came through in the clutch when his team was down when they needed a score so many times throughout the year. He has elite football character. This is a guy who

loves football, he works hard, he's a first in first out type of guy and that's exactly what you want and he's experienced. This isn't some project that the Tennessee Titans have to develop here. This isn't an Anthony Richardson situation. You know what I mean? Cam Ward has played five years of college football at this point. I mean, he went from incarnate word up to Washington state, then to Miami. Like this is, this is a guy who has a ton of college experience and the journey from being a zero star recruit out of a small, uh,

high school in Texas that ran the wing T, which is the offense that I grew up in. I was also limited by the wing T cam ward. I understand. But then he goes to college, he gets an offer. He transfers up to the biggest level of college football. Then he goes to Miami, one of the biggest programs at college football, like Ken Ward has everything that you're looking for. He does. Does he have elite NFL size?

No, he's a bit undersized. Is he an elite mobile quarterback? No, the speed is a little overstated. He's just good mobility, not Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jane Daniels level. His decision-making has to improve. He put the ball in way too many difficult situations. He's got to get better deep down the outsides of the field. That absolutely has to improve.

But again, everything that you get from Cam Ward, it screams that he can be a franchise quarterback. Will he be an elite quarterback in the NFL? I hope so. But the Titans would hit on this pick of Cam Ward if he's just an above average quarterback. If he's in the top half of the NFL and quarterbacks, then he is good enough to win a Superbowl if you build a good roster. Okay. Look at Philadelphia. I don't think that Jalen Hurts is an elite quarterback.

Jalen Hurts and what the Eagles did this year and what the 49ers did with Brock Purdy a couple of years ago, that is the mold that the Tennessee Titans need to go for here. Expecting Patrick Mahomes, expecting Joe Burrow, expecting Josh Allen. Like you can't expect to get that. If you get that, if you get that, then let's go. Let's party. Like I'm not saying that Cam Ward cannot be an elite quarterback. I'm saying realistically, the most likely outcome here is that Cam

Ward is a good quarterback. And if Cam Ward is a good quarterback, again, above average in the NFL, then the Tennessee Titans have a good enough quarterback to go win a Superbowl. You have to build the rest of the roster. So I think ultimately Cam Ward could be a top enough quarterback to go win a Superbowl. You have to build the rest of the roster. So I think ultimately, Kim Ward could be a top 10 quarterback, but if he's top 14, that still makes the pick worth it for the Tennessee Titans. And above average quarterback is worth the number one pick. That's the reality. So I want Kim Ward to be elite. Does he need to be elite for it to be worth the number one pick? No, that doesn't have to be the case. He doesn't Ward to be elite. Does he need to be elite for it to be worth the number one pick?

No, that doesn't have to be the case. He doesn't have to be Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen to be worth the number one pick. Again, I know people hate this, but if he's Baker Mayfield, if he's Dak Prescott, if he's Jalen Hurts, that is a massive success for the Tennessee Titans. And that's realistically what we should all be praying for. Like that's realistically what all Titans fans should be hoping for, is that Cam Ward is a good quarterback.

Because those are hard to find. Those are hard to find. And I know that I always say this internet brain has people where you're either elite or you're trash. There's the elite quarterbacks, everyone else is trash, no one else is any good, everyone else is terrible. And that's just not reality. More often than times in life, you need good. You'd love elite, you'd love greatness. But if you just get good and then you build a great roster, you can win a Super Bowl. So let's hope

that Cam Ward's elite, but they just need him to be a good player. And then it'll be worth the number one overall pick. But what happens now is the question. That is really where this draft starts. This draft starts for the Titans in the second round. So if you have Cam Ward as your number one pick, as your quarterback of the future, how do you build around him?

Well, the reality is you need a wide receiver and I'm going to go get cam ward a wide receiver and not only am I getting them a wide receiver, I'm going to get them a wide receiver that he has chemistry and a connection with already.

Let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. It's a mock draft Monday. We took Cam Warden number one overall. We did a refresher on Cam Ward's profile, high weight, play style, strengths, weaknesses, all of that stuff. But now it's about what do you do to support Cam Warden? Again, it's all about taking a wide receiver for me, but I get to pick number 35 and there are so many options on the board at wide receiver. You have Jayden Higgins, you have Kyle Williams, you have Jack best, you have,

um, Jaylen Royals, you have Jaylen Noel, you have Trey Harris. There's a ton of options now. No Luther Burden, no, a Mecca, those guys didn't fall and in reality when we get to the draft those guys likely won't fall but outside of wide receiver Donovan Jackson was on the board I've called Donovan Jackson a can't pass prospect I don't know if the Titans feel that way though so again I'm trying to be realistic with this mock draft of course I would love Cam Ward at one Ashton Gentey in the second Tetaroah McMillan in the third but trying to be realistic with this mock draft. Of course, I would love Cam Ward at one, Ashton Genti in the second, Tetaroah McMillan in the third, but let's be realistic here about what

could happen. So, Donovan Jackson on the D line, Derek Harmon was still there. Really considered that. Darius Alexander on the defensive line. At edge, Nick Scarton, Landon Jackson, Braden Swinson, Prince Leomami Allen. There were a lot of with so many great options on the board. The best thing to do is to trade down and that's exactly what I did and again, this is the most realistic

trade down that I've seen for the Titans. It's with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints did not take quarterback at number nine. So at pick 40, the Saints are looking. Jalen Milro and Jackson Dart are still on the board. The Saints say we can't wait any longer. We got to go up and get our guy at 35. So the Saints go up from 40 to 35. The Titans send pick 35 and pick 141 to the Saints for pick 40 and pick 71. Again, last year there was a trade 35 and 168 for 43 and 79. So there is absolutely precedent for this happening. The Saints have picked 93, picked 112, picked 131.

They have three more picks after that. In the seventh round, the Saints have all the draft picks they could want. So they can afford to give up their extra third round pick that they got from Washington and move up five spots and get Jackson Dart, who fits perfectly with what Kellen Moore wants to do on offense. So the Saints come up to get Jackson Dart, the Titans drop back to 40 and pick up pick number 71 while losing pick number 141.

So the Titans drop back to pick 40 and in the process, Donovan Jackson, Derek Harmon and Nick Scowerton come off the board out of the guys that we talked about before. Well that means that I still have my pick of wide receivers. And if I have Jayden Higgins, Jack Bess, Jaylen Royals, Jaylen Noel, Kyle Williams, and Trey Harris. My pick is Kyle Williams. So that's where I go pick number 40. After a trade back, the Tennessee Titans take Kyle Williams, the wide

receiver out of Washington state. He's everybody's favorite wide receiver now 22 and a half years old, five foot 10, 190 pounds is on the smaller side, but his release at the line of scrimmage, when I talk about release at the line of scrimmage, I talk about beating press coverage. And the reality is guys come out of college without experience beating press cover and not a lot of college programs press because of the speed at the college level. It's just hard to win physical battles like that at college.

There's so much speed. All right? So you don't see a ton of press in college. So a guy that can come into the NFL and immediately have multiple release packages. There are plenty of different release packages and Kyle Williams can do just about all of them. So getting off press is key at the NFL level.

And Kyle Williams is maybe the best in the entire class At getting away from press. He has great straight line speed. He's a yards after the catch demon. He forces Autonomous tackles. He's actually been good in contested catch situations despite being 5 10 190 pounds And of course again the cam ward connection cam ward played a year with Kyle Williams at Washington state. They had a connection together and cam ward said when he was doing all those fortnight streams last week, Kyle Williams on the outside with Calvin Ridley and Xavier Restrepo. Let's go man.

You know, so getting that connection back together and kind of hitting the ground running, I think that makes this pick more valuable than what it would be if you had if the Titans just had Will Levis again at quarterback, you know, taking Kyle Williams is great, but having Pam Ward at quarterback and pairing him back with Kyle Williams, the guy he knows, that increases the value of the pick. And that's why I'm okay with taking Kyle Williams at pick number 40. 40, despite the size, the size is a concern. Five foot 10, 190 pounds. Like that's a smaller wide receiver. And you already have Calvin Ridley is a Z wide receiver. You got Kyle Williams. He going to play in the slot. You're going to move Calvin Ridley to the slot more like that's not a huge problem,

but he doesn't have he's a very versatile player. He could play different spots. He played all three different spots at Z slot at Washington. But I don't think he could play X at the NFL level. He's just different spots. He played all three different spots, XZ slot at Washington, but I don't think he could play X at the NFL level. He's just too small. The size is a problem. He's, he's better in contested catches.

He's good for his size and contested situations, but at the catch point, he doesn't have super long arms. He doesn't have super big hands. Again, he's only 190 pounds. This isn't going to be a guy who is mossing people all over the field. Like you're just not going to get that and he's fast. Don't get me wrong. He is fast, but he doesn't have elite explosion out of his brakes, change of direction, stuff like that. Like we aren't talking about a Tyree kill Xavier worthy level

flyer here. He's fast. Don't get me wrong, but it's just not elite level explosion. So that's what you take when you get Kyle Williams. But in the second round, he should be able to immediately come in. And I think 700, 800 yard receiving season. I think he could be that good early on for cam ward with the connection that they have in the opportunities that he would likely get in the Tennessee Titans offense with the lack of wide receiver talent, but after Kyle Williams. We moved to our third round pick. And remember, we traded back from 35 to 40. We picked up pick number 71. Now, I think what the Titans could do here is they could consider another trade back, but that's not the route that I went because I got worried. So here were my options

on the offensive line, which I think got worried. So here were my options. On the offensive line, which I think it's time to think offensive line here. Ariante, Ursory, the offensive tackle out of Minnesota. Tate Ratledge, the guard out of Georgia. Wyatt Milam, the guard out of West Virginia, who you guys know, I love Wyatt Milam. I love Wyatt Milam. Those were all there. On the D line, Vernon Broughton out of Texas,

Omar Norman Lot out of Tennessee, who the Tennessee Titans had a visit with. Passrush or Interior Defensive lineman out of Tennessee, Omar Norman Lot. Really thought about it. But then I go to Edge. And Femi Oladejo is there. Out of UCLA. You guys to edge and Femi Oladejo is there out of UCLA. You guys know I love Femi. You got Ashton Gallette out of Louisville.

You got Sadion Jones out of LSU. You guys know I like a lot. Huge, big monster edge, which is what I think the Titans are looking for. But in my mind, when I looked at the edge rushers there, there was a big drop off after Femi. Femi Oladejo after Femi Oladejo, the drop off to edges, oh, these are all day three guys. I wouldn't take any of these guys on day two.

They're day three options. The only day two edge rusher in my opinion that remained on the board is Femi Oladizio. And I can't pass on the opportunity. So I go up there, pick number 71 in the third round and I take Femi Oladizio. Edge rusher LSU or LSU, UCLA, six foot three, 260 pounds. All right. Think Dremont Jones size. I think this is the minimum threshold for what the Titans won on the edge now. All right. Think Dremont Jones size. I think this is the minimum threshold for what the Titans won on the edge now. All right. And Femi is only 21.6 years old. So

he's not even 22 yet. He could gain another 10 to 15 pounds of muscle and be that six foot three and some change 270 pound edge that the Tennessee Titans want. He is an explosive rusher, explosive athlete. Jump off the line of scrimmage, power in his hands, pop, great length too, 33.8 inch arms. That's what the Titans want. Explosive athlete with great size and long arms. Physical in the run, he will set the edge. He could shoot a gap. He has great pop in his hands. He'll jar somebody shed a block Because he was an offball linebacker for his first two years of college. He is good in zone He can drop in coverage. He is comfortable doing that which again the Titans run zone blitzes

With the Nard Wilson at defensive coordinator having an edge that is comfortable dropping back into a zone when the other side is blitzing. That's critical for me. I love that versatility. So if you give me explosiveness, you give me length, you give me size, you give me physicality and run defense, you give me the ability to shoot gaps and to drop back in coverage. What are we discussing here? This is a slam dunk at pick number seven.

If the Titans leave the top 100 picks with Cam Ward, Kyle Williams, and Femiola De Gio, that is disgusting. What an incredible, incredible, incredible hall that would be. And look, Femiola De Gio has only been in edge rusher for one season and he still kind of went back and forth. Some people could look at that and say, oh, he doesn't have experiences in edge rusher. That hurts him. I look at that and say he has incredible upside. Femiola Dezio is not the best version of himself already.

He has not peaked as a football player yet. And I love that coming out of college. So because he hasn't been in edge rusher super long, he's got to refine his game. He's got to hone his technique. He's got to have a better plan when he goes to pass rush, he's got to get bigger and stronger too. I think that's important, but what you're working with already sign me up. So that's my first three picks in the draft cam ward, Kyle Williams, and Femi

Oladejo. Now we're going to get to day three in the draft where I really think I get some solid value for the Tennessee Titans. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by the Nissan Armada, the 2025 Nissan Armada and the Armada player of the week. Each week I'm going to take a look at a draft prospect, pick one guy that stands apart, a guy that I believe showcased the strength and power needed to push the Tennessee Titans forward as we look to next season. And of course my Armada clear cut player of the week is Cam Ward.

It's draft week, baby. Of course it's going to be Cam Ward. Look, Cam Ward is heavy duty. He's rugged He can conquer the road ahead with capability and confidence. He'll dream big. He'll go big just like the nissan Armada, so it's clear that my player of the week cam ward is ready to conquer the road ahead Just like you can in the new nissan armada or any of their outstanding vehicles you can in the new Nissan Armada or any of their outstanding vehicles. Take the Nissan Armada, the Rogue or the Pathfinder and go find your next big adventure like the Titans are about to do with Cam Ward.

Make sure that you shop NissanUSA.com. Titans fans. Let's continue and cap off today's ideal, but realistic seven round mock draft for the Tennessee Titans. We have Tam Ward, we have Kyle Williams at wide receiver. We have Femiola DeGioia, Ed Drusher. So we hit our three biggest needs. We get a trade down in the second round. Now we get into day three and we get the opportunity to go after guys that

really, really fit what we're looking for. And it picked one Oh three at the start of day three. This is still a really nice pick. It may not be a top 100 pick, but it's one Oh three. You know what I mean? It's still a very good pick for the Tennessee Titans. And, um, you have Jonas Sanker at safety. You have Sebastian Castro at safety.

Cornerback, a guy like Jacob Parrish, or a guy like Dorian Strong out of Virginia Tech, who's a big physical outside corner I'd be interested in. We could double up at Edgresher, back-to-back picks. Ashton Gillette and Savion Jones are still on the board and this would be better value. Jamari Caldwell if we want to back up nose tackle, Ty Robinson is a guy out of Nebraska who's six foot five, 300 pounds could be a versatile interior rusher. Those were all options, but I also looked at the options to double up at wide receiver

and Savion Williams is on the board and Isaac Tesla is on the board and Torrey Horton is on the board and Isaiah bond is still on the board names bond bail bond. But, uh, I couldn't pass it up guys. The Titans need more juice. You need to support cam ward. And that's why I would pick one Oh three in the fourth round. I went with Savion Williams, the wide receiver out of TCU. So I see Savion Williams and Kyle Williams as totally different things Kyle Williams is a refined player

He's not very very big and physical and explosive and blah blah blah But he's refined and he's nuanced and he's you know polished and all these things Well, Savion Williams is the total opposite Savion Williams is six foot three two hundred and twenty two pounds monster Monster. All right. He's an older prospect though at 23 years old Can he improve at the places where he needs to? But look guys, he's 6'3", he's 222 pounds. Think about Cordarell Patterson and Debo Samuel.

That's the player you need to be envisioning right now when I talk about Sabion Williams. He is explosive! Incredibly, incredibly explosive. Like, woo! At 6'3", 22 three, two, 22. It's insane. All right. And not only can he explode forward, he can decelerate, which is so critical when you need to run slants or not slants.

What when you need to run stop routes, comebacks, curls inside breaking routes, he can accelerate or decelerate at an incredible rate yards after catch. Again, think about Debo Samuel quarter L Patterson. He played running back at times for TCU. So now you have Kyle Williams, who's kind of a pure wide receiver. And then you have Savion Williams who imagine if the Titans Jaquan Jackson was six foot three, 222 pounds instead of being tiny, like give me that gadget player who could potentially, and now the Titans get someone who could play running back for them and help them out in that spot when Tony Pollard and

Neville leaves after the year, maybe Tajay Spears gets injured again. Like that's somebody you could use as a running back and contest like this guy is incredible in contested catch situations. I'm pretty sure it's like 70 plus percent success rate and contested catch. So a guy with that size, that athletic ability, that versatility, who can also make contested catches down the field, you could develop this guy into a prime time X receiver. He might have the highest potential of any wide receiver in the entire NFL draft.

He's got to run a more diverse route tree. He's got to work on the mental aspects of playing wide receiver in the entire NFL draft. He's got to run a more diverse route tree. He's got to work on the mental aspects of playing wide receiver, like when to sit down in zones, how to set guys up. But I mean, there are certain things he does well already. He's got a pretty good release package off the line of scrimmage, which is good for an X wide receiver. What's most important is that he cleans up the drops. He's just had a little bit of a drops issue, but at pick 103, this talent and this upside with this immediate ability to create explosiveness in the Titans offense, they so desperately need more explosiveness. And I get that at pick 103, not often that you get players with that sort of upside and that sort of day one explosiveness at pick 103. So could not pass on the opportunity to get Savion Williams.

Then we move to pick number 120. And now it's time to hit a position that we need a future starter at. And I get to 120 and I can take Jacob Parrish, Savion Jones is still there. Maybe we go running back now, Jaden Blue is an explosive player. Cam Jackson on the interior defensive line. He's a six, six nose tackle out of Florida. He's a guy that the Titans visited with, but I had to go safety because there's a player who I think goes in the top 75, 80 picks in the draft who's available and it's Jonas Sanker safety out of Virginia, six foot, 206, 22 years old. He has great size,

six foot, 206, great size for a safety. He has great size, 6'206, great size for his safety. He has great straight line speed. He ran a great 40 yard dash. He is big and strong and has long arms. So he is good at the catch point. He can knock the ball away from defenders. He can knock the ball out. He's excellent at the catch point and he is a filling, a filling.

He is a physical and willing run defender who will fill the lanes very well. He had like 170 tackles or something like that. Like this guy is willing now. His eyes can get caught. He'll get caught looking in the backfield, not paying attention. So he's got to do a better job of staying aware, stay in discipline, recognizing route concepts that are happening in front of him. Some of the mental aspects of safety, he needs to improve a little bit and get better,

but he's not going to be someone who's asked to start right away. You have a Monty Hooker and you have Xavier Woods. So let Sanker learn from those guys, learn what they look for when they're trying to recognize routes, learn where their eyes go, why they're running through the play. A Monty Hooker is excellent at that sort of stuff. So I think those would be great mentors for a guy like Jonas Sanker. And then next year, when you inevitably let one of those safeties go, or maybe both,

you have Jonas Sanker step in right away and now you have a start. All right, so we move forward and we have our last, remember I gave up 141 to move to move down in the second round and get 30 or get 40 and 71. So now we have our last three picks and I'm throwing darts and looking for potential starters or high end depth and I think I get that at 167. You're never gonna get me to change my mind guys. I went with Miles Frazier, the six foot five, 325 pound, big bodied offensive lineman out of LSU. He is going

to play on the interior, but there is some swing potential there. Like, uh, think about Blake Hans was brought in to kind of play this role. He would be battling with Blake hands 23.6 years old. So he's an older prospect, which means he might be ready to play right away. But I think that you draft miles Frazier on day three and you have a starter ready to go for when Kevin's Eichler is gone after the year at right. Garth he's big strong, four years of starting experience miles. Miles Frazier has an LSU sec defensive lineman, like so much experience. He is more of a past protector.

That's what you need with cam war. The Titans go out and sign Dan Moore. They go out and sign Kevin Zeitler, guys who are good past protectors. Kevin Zeitler, one of the best past protecting guards in the NFL. The last few years, Dan Moore, much better a past protector than he is a run blocker. I know that's crazy to say when he gave up the most sacks last year, but hey, that's the Titans gave $22 million a year to what can I tell you?

Uh, but get miles Frazier, who's a better pass blocker than run blocker, but still has the ability to sustain in the run game. He just gets high. Sometimes like his pad level is high. Is he six foot five? He needs to work on his technique and his angles in the run game. But like, give me miles Frazier with our bottom three picks here. Like that's a potential starter.

Ollie Gordon, I'm doing it again. One 78 Ollie Gordon. Give me a big physical six foot two, 220 pound running back goes perfectly with Tajay spheres and Tony Pollard. Don't really need to explain that again. It's just too good of a pick. You need to get a running back in this class. Get a big power running back in a great running back draft.

Take one, even if it's round six, take a running back. And then finally I finished with the guy who I mentioned earlier, still on the board at one 88. I went with Cam Jackson out of Florida, six foot six, 342 pounds. Look, it's very very difficult Very difficult to replicate to Vandrey sweat So if sweat were to get injured if sweat needs a couple of plays off It's very hard to replicate what he brings so when you're building a defense

Based on having to Vandrey sweat in the middle of it You need to have somebody who can somewhat replicate that. And six foot six, 342 pounds, powerful early down run stuff for Cam Jackson, nose tackle out of Florida. That is the best way to replicate what Tavondre Sweat can give you is to go out and get a guy who they ain't all built like Tavondre Sweat. That's why Tavondre Sweat went 38 and Cam Jackson's going 188. All right. It's different. Okay. The athleticism, the burst, the hands, the pass rush repertoire, all that.

But I picked 188, your last pick in the draft. What are you expecting to get? I'm getting a solid depth player who I know can replicate what Sweat gives me so that our defense can stay the same. So overall you get Cam Ward with the number one pick. You trade back in the second round, you get Kyle Williams and Femi Oladizia. You get to day three, you take Savion Williams, an explosive high upside wide receiver. You get Jonas Senker, a potential starter at safety

next season. You get Miles Frazier, a potential starter at right guard next season. You get Miles Frazier, a potential starter right guard next season. You get Ollie Gordon, who'll be your RB three this year, probably your RB two next year. And you get Cam Jackson, who's your direct backup for Tavandre Sweat. Let me know how you would grade this mock draft down below. How realistic, how good do you think this mock draft is? It's draft week folks tomorrow. We're gonna be looking at all
