The Tennessee Titans control all the power with the first overall pick, which is why the New England Patriots should be paying attention to what they want to do in the 2025 NFL Draft.Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker offered a lot of insight last week when he told reporters that his team would not pass up on a “generational” prospect. It was a vague term, but it alluded to Tennessee likely eyeing Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter with the top selection in the draft.However, the Titans need a quarterback, and they reportedly took a long look at one of their options at the Shrine Bowl.“The Titans, who have a need at QB, have a fascinating decision ahead of them with the top pick. They have a new regime after hiring general manager Mike Borgonzi, and it’s believed by some that they prefer (Cam) Ward to (Shedeur) Sanders,” The Athletic’s Jeff Howe wrote Friday. “However, the Titans met with Sanders for about an hour last week at the East-West Shrine Bowl, according to a league source. That’s viewed as a longer time than usual to meet with a prospect in that type of setting.“It could be chalked up to pure due diligence or even a smokescreen. But because evaluators want to meet with Sanders to see where football lies on his list of priorities, the extended meeting could also be a strong sign of their serious interest in the son of the Pro Football Hall of Famer. Deion Sanders, by the way, called into Shedeur’s meeting with the Titans, the league source said.”Story continues below advertisementThis year’s draft is the wrong year to want a quarterback, according to multiple draft analysts. However, Deion Sanders is a masterful talker, and he could perhaps convince Tenneesee that Shedeur Sanders is a “generational” prospect.This would be a fantastic scenario for the Patriots, and it would be made even better if Ward went to the Cleveland Browns at No. 2 or the New York Giants at No. 3. That’s because New England would have its choice of a legit star depending on if Carter or Hunter drops to No. 4.The QB class might not be flashy, but the 2025 NFL Draft could still be interesting depending on how the dominoes fall.
