The first 18 spots in the 2025 NFL Draft are locked in. With the regular season finishing the first weekend in January, the first overall pick and the ones that immediately followed were solidified with the clubs that failed to make the postseason.
However, as teams are eliminated from the playoffs, more slots in the draft are getting attached to organizations.
Wild-card weekend is nearly complete, and by Monday night, six teams will be out of the hunt for the Super Bowl. With that, the focus shifts from a championship to the draft.
Barring a trade, the Titans are choosing first in the 2025 draft. Tennessee has a plethora of needs, but the club seems likely to be targeting a quarterback. The need for a QB also applies to the two teams following directly behind the Titans — Browns and Giants.
But when it comes to back end of the first round, the order won’t be fully decided until after Super Bowl 59. Here is how wild-card weekend impacted the selection sequence.

NFL Draft 2025 top prospects
Here’s a look at the top 10 NFL Draft prospects, based on our own Vinnie Iyer’s latest 2025 big board:
| Rank | Player | Position | College team |
| 1 | Travis Hunter | CB/WR | Colorado |
| 2 | Mason Graham | DT | Michigan |
| 3 | Will Johnson | CB | Michigan |
| 4 | Tetairoa McMillan | WR | Arizona |
| 5 | Abdul Carter | EDGE | Penn State |

| 7 | Ashton Jeanty | RB | Boise State |
| 8 | Shedeur Sanders | QB | Colorado |
| 9 | Cam Ward | QB | Miami |
| 10 | Will Campbell | OT | LSU |
The 2025 NFL Draft class is a talented one.
The top quarterbacks are Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward. With QB-needy teams at the top of the draft in the Titans, Browns, and Giants, the two almost assuredly will be the first names taken off the board.
Heisman Trophy-winning two-way player Travis Hunter is the other big name from this draft class, which also features Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, LSU OT Will Campbell, Michigan DT Mason Graham, and Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, among others.
