In relation to the race for the No. 1 total choose within the upcoming draft, a lot of the groups in rivalry put their finest foot ahead this previous week. 

Apart from the Jets, each group at present slated to select within the prime 10 misplaced in Week 15, with six falling by double digits.

Here is the place the highest 10 within the draft order at present stands:

1. Las Vegas Raiders (2-12)
2. New York Giants (2-12)

4. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11)
5. Carolina Panthers (3-11)

7. Cleveland Browns (3-11)
8. New York Jets (4-10)
9. Chicago Bears (4-10)
10. New Orleans Saints (5-9)

Our weekly highlight on groups who might choose first total in 2025 continues with the Titans. 

Quarterback has re-emerged as Tennessee’s prime draft precedence after Will Levis‘ benching within the group’s 37-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. His 4 turnovers within the recreation seemingly erased all of the optimistic momentum he’d constructed up over the previous month because the franchise’s hopeful long-term reply. Coach Brian Callahan had beforehand been adamant that Levis could be the starter so long as he was wholesome.  

Here is what FOX Sports activities NFL writers Ben Arthur and Henry McKenna consider the Titans ought to do in the event that they get the No. 1 total choose. 

McKenna: I like Shedeur Sanders for the Titans. Tennessee is a pleasant, quiet media marketplace for Sanders to settle into the NFL. There will not be the identical degree of scrutiny as a spot like New York. Sanders can develop in Nashville with out having to cope with the complications of tabloids.

Titans coach Brian Callahan was in Cincinnati to develop Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who’s the type of participant Sanders will need to become. So, why not pair Sanders with The Man Who Made Joe Burrow?

I additionally assume that organizations prefer to draft away from what simply failed them. As a quarterback, Sanders is kind of totally different to Will Levis. Levis was the Titans’ try at getting a Josh Allen. Large arm. Large physique. Strong athlete. Sanders is not (m)any of these issues — however he is an efficient quarterback. And his robust qualities may enchantment as a result of they’re so totally different from Levis, who appears to be on the way in which out in Tennessee.

Arthur: Would the Colorado star even need to come to the Titans? We all know that Deion Sanders has mentioned that he’d privately advocate for sure groups to not draft his son, and we now have to think about that the Titans might be a kind of groups. Nashville is a smaller NFL market, which might be the other of what the Sanderses are in search of. The Titans have additionally been a sinking ship since incomes the AFC’s No. 1 total seed in 2021 and bowing out early within the postseason. It has been so unhealthy this yr that there is been mounting hypothesis about the way forward for the Callahan-Ran Carthon regime after only one season. Being a small market group with an unclear future might be considered as a double whammy. 

Shedeur Sanders cannot be dominated out, in fact — we do not know what he needs — however Cam Ward is a quarterback many within the scouting group assume is a greater prospect anyway, so I am going to throw him on the market as my choose. His creativity and success in a dynamic passing offense at Miami bode effectively for a possible partnership with Callahan, who’s labored with a wide range of quarterbacks. The 6-foot-2, 223-pound Ward generally is a bit reckless at instances, however he has the type of expertise to justify endurance from Callahan. Ward’s mobility can also be higher fitted to the trendy NFL than Sanders, who shall be extra tied to the pocket.
