00:00So let's talk about the Senior Bowl and everything and where the Titans are and it sounds to

00:06me like from your reporting that they have no clue yet what they're going to do or at

00:12least they haven't shown any signs of it.

00:15Right but there are a lot of people around the league say if you're in the Titans spot

00:19being what they need, first of all they need to know the future quarterback.

00:23You've got Brian Callahan in his second season who inherited Will Levis, you have a brand

00:28new front office and inherits Will Levis who was a second round pick, wildly inconsistent,

00:32very talented but wildly inconsistent and he just has not been good enough to be the

00:37future quarterback.

00:38And there's a saying in the National Football League you never want to be picking this high

00:42but when you do if you don't know about your future quarterback you figure it out and Cam

00:46Ward is by far the clear cut best quarterback for this draft.

00:50Now if they don't want to go quarterback you've got Travis Hunter who a lot of people think

00:55should be the first overall pick based on talent, he's the best player for this draft.

00:58Now you and I talked about this weeks ago, my intel on this thing is very clear, yes

01:02he could play wide receiver but he's going to play cornerback most likely because it's

01:07a higher value position.

01:09The late Gil Brandt told me when he built his value board for the Cowboys running all

01:14those drafts in the 70s and 80s, it's quarterback, left offensive tackle, cornerback are the

01:20top three value positions, that's why Hunter is going to be highly valued.

01:24And then Abdul Carter from Penn State who is by far the best edge rusher of the draft.

01:29So those three players are the clear best players for this draft, clearly the highest

01:36valued and that's pretty much it for the Titans.

01:39And they're a team that's in a total rebuild here, they need a lot of talent on both sides

01:42of the football and they also have to figure out that quarterback position.
