Cam Ward steps into a new Titans era as the top pick with expectations to upgrade a struggling offense. He inherits a largely rebuilt supporting cast led by Calvin Ridley and a Miami connection with Xavier Restrepo, while two late-round receivers and an undrafted gem push for development. The line sees an overhaul with Cushenberry, Zeitler, Skoronski and Latham, promising Ward a cleaner pocket and more time to process. Tennessee’s 2025 outlook hinges on Ward’s ability to leverage a stronger O-line and a more cohesive skill group.

2024 was a heavy learning year for the Titans, finishing last in the division and posting an underwhelming scoring output. Offseason moves reflect a plan to contend, not just rebuild: a sturdier interior line, a more reliable WR corps, and a defense that can stay afloat if the offense sustains momentum. The betting market sees a potential rebound with a win-total around 6.5 and divisions ripe for the taking in a competitive AFC South. Ward’s direct impact could tilt the Titans from underachievers to surprise battlers in 2025.
