<\/p>\nIt’s only Week 3 of the NFL season, but ESPN’s Football Power Index has already determined which team will own the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft.<\/p>\n
The Tennessee Titans owned the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after going 3-14 under head coach Brian Callahan. The front office used that selection on Miami quarterback Cam Ward. In his first two starts, the talented rookie gunslinger has completed just 50.8% of his passes for 287 yards with a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Titans, they’re off to yet another rocky start. They’ll enter this Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with an 0-2 record.<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward (1) winds up to throw against the Los Angeles Rams during the third quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025.<\/p>\n
As of now, ESPN’s FPI<\/a> has the Titans finishing with the worst record in the league. Their projection has them at 5.1-11.9, which is essentially 5-12.<\/p>\n The New York Giants are right behind the Titans with a projected record of 5.7-11.2<\/p>\n Tennessee has competition for the No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n There are currently 10 teams entering Week 3 with an 0-2 record. One of them happens to be the Kansas City Chiefs. Obviously, we don’t expect them to be in the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n If the Titans were to land the top pick, they’d most likely field trade calls. They already have a potential franchise quarterback in Ward.<\/p>\n As of right now, the Titans aren’t interested in tanking. They have to figure out if they have a coach-quarterback duo capable of competing in the AFC South.<\/p>\n The Titans might get the answer to their question over the next month since they’re taking on the Colts and Texans in back-to-back weeks.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by The Spun<\/a> on Sep 18, 2025, where it first appeared in the NFL<\/a> section.
