The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in the Titletown District of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin from April 24-26.

First on the clock will be the Tennessee Titans, followed by the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. As of now, every team holds a first-round pick, but that could change by Draft Day—or even during it. The crypto sportsbook lists Cam Ward as the heavy -875 favorite to be selected first overall, with Abdul Carter +483 and Travis Hunter +2776 listed as his closest competition based on current NFL Draft odds.

2025 NFL Draft Top Prospects
QB Cam Ward, Miami
This draft lacks a quarterback of the caliber of Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, or Drake Maye. However, Cam Ward’s potential has many NFL Draft pundits intrigued. After throwing for 3,232 and 3,736 yards in two seasons at Washington State, Ward exploded this past year in Miami, posting a career-high 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns.
While he’s a confident passer, his aggressive nature cost Miami key games and ultimately kept them out of the College Football Playoff. If he can refine his decision-making and game management, his high ceiling could translate to NFL success. If not, he may find himself in the UFL once his rookie contract expires.
DE Abdul Carter, Penn State
It was nearly impossible to watch a Nittany Lions game without noticing No. 11 wreaking havoc on defense. Much like Micah Parsons, Abdul Carter thrives as a relentless backfield disruptor, using his elite burst off the line of scrimmage to overwhelm blockers. When healthy, he’s a game-changer—commanding attention on every snap to help create opportunities for his teammates.
However, durability remains a concern, as injuries frequently sidelined him during his time in Happy Valley. If Carter can stay on the field, add muscle to his frame, and maintain his breakneck speed off the line, he has the potential to contend for the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and earn multiple All-Pro honors throughout his career.
WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
Hunter is a rare two-way player, drawing comparisons to his former head coach, Deion Sanders. Over the years, he has refined his coverage skills, relying on discipline and technique to cut down on the risky plays that once plagued his game. The result? A ball-hawking presence with seven interceptions over his last two years in Boulder.
As a receiver, Hunter's elite body control and reliable hands make him a nightmare for defenders, constantly shifting gears and breaking ankles with ease. His talent positions him as an immediate starting cornerback with an All-Pro ceiling, making him a high-upside investment for any team willing to bet on his versatility.
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
A Heisman Trophy runner-up to Hunter, Jeanty put together an impressive collegiate career as Boise State’s star running back. Over three seasons, the compact, shifty runner showcased exceptional vision, tempo, and instincts, racking up 4,769 rushing yards and 56 total touchdowns. Capable of thriving in any blocking scheme, Jeanty is the overwhelming -5000 favorite to be the first running back selected in the NFL Draft.
Known for his relentless running style and ability to break tackles in one-on-one situations, he’ll be a valuable addition to any team in need of a dynamic backfield presence.
WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
The king of contested catches, McMillan thrives on the outside, using his length and athleticism to dominate defenders—an enticing trait for teams looking to bolster their red-zone presence. While he’s not the best at creating separation, his production speaks for itself, surpassing 1,300 receiving yards in each of his last two seasons in Tucson and never hauling in fewer than eight touchdowns.
Currently the -315 favorite to be the first wide receiver selected in the NFL Draft, McMillan is poised to make an immediate impact as a major weapon for his new team.
QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Accuracy, polish, toughness, and a relentless work ethic define Deion’s youngest son as he enters the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite enduring relentless pressure behind Colorado’s porous offensive line, he played all 13 games and helped lead the program to its best season since 2016.
More reliant on timing and anticipation than raw arm strength, his skill set fits best in a rhythm-based offense that emphasizes ball placement. While some question whether he has the tools to thrive at the next level, his bloodline and poise in high-pressure situations suggest no moment will be too big for him.

Players in the 1930s were basically just drafted sight unseen because of their prowess in college. The 1940s and 1950s were only slightly better in terms of scouting, but the early 1960s saw the creation of BLESTO, and that organization brought scouting into prominence.
The NFL Draft became a huge television spectacle back in the 1980s when ESPN started broadcasting it with luminaries like Chris Berman and Mel Kiper Jr. By the time the draft moved to New York in 1995, it was a two-day event that was sucked up by the NFL-hungry public. Now, the draft is three days long, starting with the first round on Thursday, the second and third rounds on Friday and the fourth through seventh rounds coming on Saturday.

Quarterbacks are the cornerstones of every successful NFL franchise, and not surprisingly, teams jump over each other all the time to try to find that quarterback that can lead their team for the next decade and a half. As a result, 34 of the No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft have been quarterbacks, representing nearly 40 percent of the top choices. Running backs used to be incredibly popular to pick as top choices as well, but we will likely never see a running back selected No. 1 overall again due to their shorter than average careers.

It's amazing that for as long as the NFL Draft has been going on, no team has had the first overall pick more than seven times. The Colts and Rams share that dubious distinction. Of course, the team that "earns" the top pick thanks to having the worst record in the NFL isn't always the one that picks first. The No. 1 pick is traded from time to time, most recently in 2016, when the Rams traded up to get Jared Goff. We also saw Atlanta trade a king’s ransom for the right to select Michael Vick in the 2001 NFL Draft.
There are other examples where the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft never plays for the team that drafted him. The most notable were John Elway, who never played for the Baltimore Colts, Bo Jackson, who left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Eli Manning, who essentially demanded to be traded to the New York Giants from the San Diego Chargers.
The Broncos, who were the beneficiary of Elway's move from Baltimore, have never actually possessed the No. 1 overall pick themselves. They're one of three teams, joining the Seahawks and Ravens as teams that have never chosen first.
