Dave Portnoy gives brutal verdict on one of the top picks of the NFL Draft

Dave Portnoy gives brutal verdict on one of the top picks of the NFL Draft

The тιтans were thrilled to select quarterback Cam Ward No. 1 overall in Thursday’s NFL Draft, but Dave Portnoy was no fan of the move.

After the former Miami pᴀsser was announced as Tennessee’s selection, Portnoy took to X to offer a bold prediction regarding Ward’s career.

‘Cam Ward – Bust. (Mark it down),’ he wrote.

Ward was widely graded as the top quarterback in the Draft and one of the top overall prospects.

Of course, his play in college will have to translate to the pros, but the NFL track records of quarterbacks who have gone No. 1 overall is strong.

Since 2015, eight quarterbacks (not including Ward) have gone No. 1 overall. Six have made a Pro Bowl, and two who have not, Bryce Young and Caleb Williams only started their careers in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

While he was skeptical that Ward would become an NFL star, Portnoy gushed about the latest addition of his beloved New England Patriots.

‘I can’t believe Will Campbell slipped to 4! What a steal!,’ he wrote on X.

After New England selected LSU offensive tackle Campbell at No. 4, the player further endeared himself as he delivered an emotional interview and got choked up onstage.

‘My guy!!! Heart on his sleeve,’ Portnoy wrote, while re-posting the video.

Campbell later told reporters: ‘I’m gonna fight and die to protect them with everything I’ve got.’

‘I love this f***ing guy,’ Portnoy responded to that.

Campbell’s green pinstriped suit on the night included a touching tribute to his late LSU teammate Kyren Lacy, who died by suicide earlier this month. He had been facing criminal charges stemming from a fatal car accident in Louisiana last December, which saw him charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation

On Thursday, Campbell honored Lacy by wearing a No. 2 pin (his jersey number) on his suit.

The Patriots are set to add three more players to their roster on Friday, as they own the No. 38, 69 and 77 overall picks.
