The NFL 2025 draft is over us, with the Round 1 running from Lambeau Field. This draft has the least amount of consensus anywhere in recent memory, with multiple reports that this could be Wildst’s first round in a long time. We have already had reports on an exchange among the top five, the teams that again leave the first five and a surprise QB that crashed the party of the first round.

Whatever happens, I will be here to qualify every selection that happens tonight. Update this page frequently to see instant ratings as the selections enter. So we go through and prepare for what appears to be a night full of events.
1. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward, Miami
Grade: b
Ward in 1 feels a bit expensive, but that is the current rate to choose the QB thesis days. I have some questions about Ward’s consistency with his mechanics and inclination for brain fruits, but his explosiveness with the arm and the sensation of the big plays should work in the offensive of the Titans.
2. Trade: Jacksonville Jaguars (through Cleveland Browns): Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Grade: a
What time for the general manager of the first year James Gladstone and HC Liam Coen. They do the great swing that everyone was whispering and they take the best player of this kind of draft. Hunter can be an instant impact player in the receiver and the corner, where the jaguars need more help. The price is high, but if they win it will not matter.
3. New York Giants: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Grade: B+
As much as I like the QB Shedeur Sanders, I think this was a good choice of the giants. Carter is the second best prospect in this whole class, and should give giants a formidable defensive line. Giants can come and choose a QB later, but raising the roof of this equipment with Carter is first. Wait for Kayvon Thibodeaux to be in the negotiation block.
