As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the landscape is becoming clearer, particularly for the Tennessee Titans, who are expected to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick. Ward's confidence shines through as he names Brian Callahan the best coach, Calvin Ridley the top wide receiver, and Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears as the best running backs. Following Ward, Colorado's Travis Hunter and Penn State's Abdul Carter are projected to be picked early, potentially at Nos. 2 and 3. The draft's depth at certain positions is known, but uncertainty remains as teams may trade up or down for their desired picks.

Several teams are in a position to trade down, including the New England Patriots, who may opt to accumulate extra draft capital if top prospects like Hunter and Carter are unavailable. The Carolina Panthers could also look to trade down due to numerous roster needs. The Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams, and Washington Commanders are among the teams likely to consider trading down to improve their draft positions or add more selections.
