Cam Ward is widely considered the top overall pick for the Tennessee Titans going into the NFL draft. Several other teams are also in the market for a quarterback, and they may look to acquire one at various stages throughout the three-day event.
As the countdown to the draft continues with just a week remaining, let’s explore more key players and narratives leading up to the event in Green Bay.
Quarterback Draft Movements
If the Giants choose not to select Shedeur Sanders with the No. 3 pick, look for Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. His dynamic play style and flair seem fitting for New York, and head coach Brian Daboll is reportedly a fan.
Dart possesses a range of qualities that may appeal to the Giants. Reports suggest he is unlikely to slip past the first round, prompting general manager Joe Schoen to potentially secure Dart by trading up from No. 34 after selecting either Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter with the second overall pick.
Another quarterback generating buzz is Tyler Shough from Louisville. Standing at 6-5 and weighing 219 pounds, he is regarded as a natural passer who commands the game effectively. The Saints may target him, with their next maneuvering opportunity arising in the second round at pick No. 40.
Tight End Market Dynamics
Recently, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta hinted at uncertainty surrounding veteran tight end Mark Andrews as he approaches the final year of his contract without guaranteed money, resulting in a significant cap hit. Additionally, Andrews’s performance has dipped, raising questions about his future in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Dallas Goedert is reportedly available for trades as he enters the final season of his contract. Both Andrews and Goedert are potential trade candidates as teams evaluate their options leading into the draft.
