We're two weeks out from opening night of the 2025 NFL Draft. It looks fairly certain that the Tennessee Titans will select Miami QB Cam Ward at #1 overall.
What happens from there remains a matter of some uncertainty. Popular speculation on the Cleveland Browns has bounced from Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders to Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter to Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter in recent weeks.
If it's Hunter at #2, we could very well see Carter end up drafted by the New York Giants at #3. There's a belief, backed up by the betting lines, that the New England Patriots would draft LSU OT Will Campbell at #4 if both Hunter and Carter are off the board by that point.
Michigan DT Mason Graham going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at #5 seems the most likely outcome, while Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty is the sportsbook favorite to be drafted at #6 by the Las Vegas Raiders.
There's less clarity from there. The New York Jets at #7 have been connected with Penn State TE Tyler Warren. Beyond that... we'll find out soon enough.
Night one of the 2025 NFL Draft begins at 8 p.m. EDT on April 24.
