Anyone who thinks that the quarterback-needy Titans must be bluffing about not picking Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft needs a recent history lesson.

Yes, we’re looking at you, pessimistic Giants fans.  

Let NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah teach the class: The Jaguars passed on Jordan Love one year before drafting Trevor Lawrence; the Panthers and Texans (twice) passed on Kenny Pickett one year before drafting Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, respectively; the Bears passed on Young and Stroud one year before drafting Caleb Williams; and the Commanders, Patriots and Vikings were among the many teams who passed on Will Levis one year before drafting Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy, respectively.

Heck, the Bills passed on Patrick Mahomes and lived to talk about it by landing reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen one year later.
