The 2025 NFL Draft has kicked off with the Tennessee Titans selecting Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward as the first overall pick. Ward's selection marks a significant move for the Titans, who are looking to revamp their offense. The Giants made headlines by trading with the Texans to secure Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at 25th overall, as they hope to find a franchise signal-caller. Notably, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round but is projected to be the first quarterback picked on Day 2.

Despite being highly regarded, Alabama's Jalen Milroe faced scrutiny over his inconsistent performance in 2024, which included a lackluster outing against the Oklahoma Sooners. ESPN's Paul Finebaum called Milroe a high-risk pick due to his mixed season. However, he is projected to be picked early in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams, where he may see the field in specialized roles, particularly under Sean McVay's coaching.
