00:00How is Cam Ward not going to be the number one overall pick?

00:05So if he's 20 to one, you know, I don't know about $20,000,

00:09but we'll just use that because it's a nice, easy, you know, fat number.

00:12I mean, it's the easiest thousand dollars you'll ever make, right?

00:16Take $20,000 out of your lifetime savings account,

00:20put it on him to go number one,

00:22and in a couple of days you'll walk out of there with an extra thousand dollars.

00:26I don't know if anyone has the courage to do that,

00:28and him talking about all these Tennessee tight and wide receivers,

00:31but there's no way in the world he's not being taken number one, right?

00:34But do you have the stomach to lay 20 to one?

00:37That's the question.

00:39Yeah, and Scott, you're right.

00:40There have been some quarterbacks like that.

00:42Trevor Lawrence in 2021.

00:44Caleb Williams last year in 2024, even in other sports.

00:49Victor Wimbanyama to go first overall to the Spurs.

00:52Connor Bedard to go first overall to the Blackhawks.

00:55Kaitlin Clark, Paige Beckers to go first overall in the WNBA drafts the past few seasons.

01:01But Cam Ward did not start at minus 2,000 and work his way up to minus 20,000

01:06as we got ready for the NFL Combine in late February

01:09with some conversation around Abdul Carter.

01:12The Titans had new management led by new GM Mike Morgonzy.

01:16He was interested in fielding phone calls for that first overall pick.

01:20Cam Ward was around a minus 135 favorite.

01:23That's it.

01:24If you bet the number then, congrats to you.

01:27Now at minus 20,000, a very chalky price.
