What You Need To Know

1) By selecting Cam Ward No. 1 overall in this year’s draft, the Titans expressed their confidence that the quarterback out of Miami has what it takes to be the future of the franchise. Just how quickly that future comes is the question, as Tennessee has not officially named Ward the Week 1 starter yet. Whether one considers it a foregone conclusion that Ward starts over Will Levis or not, practices with the full team in pads will provide the team with the best indication of just how close Ward is to being ready to take the reins of an NFL offense. Can he seal the deal during camp with a strong performance?

2) Crucial to any early success for Ward or backup Will Levis will be the targets he has at his disposal, and there’s a relatively open competition at the wide receiver position set to be sorted out. Calvin Ridley is a clear lock at WR1 and new additions Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett should get significant time. However, trying to fill out the WR room will be a host of players trying to prove their worth, whether newly drafted like Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike or hoping to rebound like Treylon Burks. Who will get the chances in camp, and who will take advantage of their opportunities to earn a roster spot?

3) Among the myriad issues in the Titans defense last season, the non-impact of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed was notable. Signed to give the secondary some veteran Pro Bowl talent to build around, Sneed suffered a quad injury five games into the season and wasn’t himself before getting knocked out. Sneed has said he’s now past any injuries and is ready to show Tennessee fans who he is, and the Titans will be counting on him to operate as he did with the Chiefs after not making significant moves at cornerback this offseason. With the rest of the CB room a competition among players with relatively little experience, the health and sharpness of Sneed in camp, and in the season, could be a major factor in determining this team’s ceiling.
