The Titans lobbed the first bit of NFL Draft intel (or misinformation) into the ether Wednesday when they made it clear they wouldn’t pass on a "generational talent" with the first overall pick in the spring.

Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders could slide a tad, then. And if Patriots fans are following that logic… They aren’t happy. Not only did they lose the opportunity at the No. 1 overall pick by beating the Bills in the season finale, but now they may not be able to snag one of the two blue-chip players at the top of the draft.
