The countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft is on, and teams are strategizing for optimal outcomes to enhance their rosters. The Tennessee Titans look set to select a franchise quarterback with the top pick, likely choosing Cam Ward from Miami. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are urged to take versatility in Travis Hunter, a standout dual-threat player from Colorado. The New York Giants, having secured Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, must tread carefully on the QB front.

Other notable mentions include the New England Patriots, who may bolster their offensive line to protect rookie Drake Maye, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, eyeing defensive line reinforcements. The New York Jets are also in need of protecting Justin Fields, while the Chicago Bears look at improving their running game. As teams prepare to navigate the draft's intricacies, analysts emphasize the importance of strategic picks that align with each franchise's long-term vision.

The NFL Combine is buzzing with the Dallas Cowboys actively scouting top prospects to reshape their roster under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. On the second day, defensive backs and tight ends showed promise, despite not being seen as critical needs for the Cowboys.

Cobee Bryant from Kansas made a significant impression, showcasing his ball-hawking ability and man coverage skills, which could be crucial if Jourdan Lewis departs in free agency. Tight end Terrance Ferguson from Oregon displayed exceptional athleticism, leading in multiple drills and potentially solidifying his value for the Cowboys. Additionally, Nick Emmanwori from South Carolina turned heads with impressive metrics, including a staggering 43-inch vertical, making him a solid candidate for the Cowboys' defensive upgrades.

The Houston Texans have secured tight end Brevin Jordan with a one-year contract extension, ensuring his presence on the team for at least another season.

Jordan, who faced uncertainty after an ACL injury early in the season, had shown promise prior to his injury. He played a pivotal role in the Texans' offense, particularly in a game against the Indianapolis Colts, and had a standout performance in the Wild Card round against the Cleveland Browns.

His extension reflects the team's confidence in his recovery and future contributions, as he joins Dalton Schultz and rookie Cade Stover on the tight end roster for 2025.
