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.
