The Tennessee Titans are in the midst of a post-draft honeymoon, with analysts and teammates lavishing praise on No. 1 pick Cam Ward, but it's unclear how long it will last.

State of play: Ward has given the fanbase a much-needed shot of adrenaline after years of frustration.

Yes, but: The Titans' road to becoming the worst team in the NFL was a long one. And they might not be out of the woods.

Driving the news: CBS Sports put the Titans in last place in new AFC power rankings.

What they're saying: The rankings gave the Titans credit for their offensive line improvements.

Reporter Jordan Dajani said he still had concerns about the defense, including ongoing turmoil for defensive back L'Jarius Sneed, who is facing a lawsuit tied to a December shooting.
