2025 nfl mock draft cam ward or shedeur sanders at no 1 with early

The 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory — starting right at the top. In this mock, the Titans move on from Will Levis by selecting quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, while the Browns follow by taking Shedeur Sanders, one of the most accurate passers in college football last season. Each pick in this mock draft includes a key stat and the bottom-line scouting summary from PFF’s 2025 NFL Draft Guide, which will be available to PFF+ subscribers in just seven days.

Key Stat: Ward ranked in the top two in PFF overall grade, touchdown passes and big-time throws in 2024 among FBS quarterbacks. The Tennessee Titans explored all their options with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. They can’t pass up a shot at a potential franchise quarterback. If the Titans were going to trade the pick for more draft assets, a deal would’ve happened already. Coach Brian Callahan said “there is no price that you can put on those type of players if you think they’re that caliber of quarterback.”

Miami’s Cam Ward has seemingly convinced the Titans he can be that guy. So, the real intrigue begins with the Cleveland Browns at No. 2. They need a franchise QB, too. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders will be available but two-way star Travis Hunter and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter are more likely to go there. We have a limited NFL Draft Betting Market that has been rolled out in recent days.

While there will be an avalanche of props heading into draft week, these restricted opening lines won’t include any defensive player or individual draft position markets beyond the 1st overall selection to work with. I will provide my full annual NFL Mock Draft Betting Market Analysis next month. In the meantime, here is my 2025 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Early Betting Market Analysis. In this scenario the Titans eschew the extra picks to move down to select Ward and hope for improvement upon his class-high 3.3% turnover worthy play rate. The odds of Ward being the No. 1 selection has quickly moved from -155 to -320 on FanDuel.

DraftKings is giving out a more bettor friendly -295. New York to make the first selection is currently +135 on FD, while Tennessee has risen to -155/175. I took a position on Tennessee staying with the pick when it was -120 and still think it’s the likely outcome. Cleveland has extinguished the Myles Garrett rebellions by making him the highest paid non-QB in the NFL. Now, the Browns turn their focus to providing an alternative to Deshaun Watson, whom they will jettison next year and turn the keys of the franchise over to Sanders. The former Colorado QB is +2,400 FD/+1,500 DK to be the No.

1 overall pick, unfortunately we are in the early stages of the draft and don’t have a market for player to be drafted No. 2 overall, yet. The Titans refusal to move down lands the Giants with Penn State’s havoc-maven, Abdul Carter. FanDuel has Carter at +240 (+190 DK) to go No. 1 overall, while Tennessee keeping the pick is valued at -120. Carter is 2 ½ to 1 if you aren’t high on Ward and think the Titans go best player available.

Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward is the heavy betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. But what would happen if the Tennessee Titans picked Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders instead? USA TODAY Sports used an NFL draft simulator to predict what would happen if the Titans made a different pick than the common consensus. Tennessee is still in need of a franchise quarterback, with former second-round pick Will Levis unable to prove he's the answer. If Sanders, not Ward, is the pick at No.

1, how would the rest of the NFL draft shake out? Where would Ward end up? How much of a domino effect would it have on the expectations for the remainder of picks? Here's how things shook out, according to Pro Football Focus' simulator: It all starts here for this simulation. Sanders is not projected to be the first quarterback off the board, but what if the Titans saw something they really liked?

Super Bowl 59 is about to put a bow on the 2024 NFL season. The next big event for all 32 teams will be the 2025 NFL Draft. But with NFL free agency and the new league year starting in March, it won't be long before April 25, when the first round of the draft will go down in Green Bay. Here are the latest projections for every team with the order set to be set. The Titans, like other teams, should see that Ward is standing out a bit when evaluating him with Shedeur Sanders. Ward has the bonus of dynamic athleticism, including a polished, accurate arm, which gives some Jayden Daniels vibes in this year's class.

The Titans can't mess around with Will Levis or a veteran bridge when they need their true franchise QB. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (6-3, 250 pounds) We're heading into the divisional round of the 2024 NFL playoffs and officially getting a better picture of what the 2025 NFL Draft order will look like. As is always the case during this time in the season, there has been some movement in the order since I gave you my first mock draft. But no need to fear because I'm back with my "mock draft reloaded." Remember, this exercise assumes there are no further trades in the first round.

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami He turns 23 in May and has had 57 college starts. I expect the Titans to be much improved with him under center next season. The 2025 NFL draft is exactly one month away. Come April 24, 32 prospects from college football will hear their names called as they make their way to the top level of the sport.

As of March 24, the 2025 NFL draft is set to make history. All 32 teams currently hold one first-round pick which would be the first time since the league realigned to its current format in 2002. That may change on draft night as trades are always likely but, for now, there's a chance this is a historic draft. Last year saw an unprecedented run on offensive players to open the draft. That won't happen this year as the strength of this draft lies on the defensive line. Running back, tight end and interior offensive line are also strong position groups with lots of talent well into Day 3.

With free agency in the rearview, teams have a clearer picture of their needs entering April's draft. Here's our latest-two round prediction for what will happen in Green Bay: Two trades are included in this mock draft. Abdul Carter blitzing from the LB position and easily wins his matchup against the center with his speed, flexibility and bend. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/0j5UoN6FjO Dawg: Top prospect LSU tackle Will Campbell squatting over 600lbs with EASE ??Campbell will be UNSTOPPABLE in the NFL.

The Tennessee Titans selected Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick to kick off Thursday’s NFL draft.

While Ward was long expected to go first overall, the excitement of the night really began at No. 2. The Cleveland Browns held the second overall pick but traded the selection — as well as a fourth-rounder and a sixth-rounder — to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for the fifth overall pick, a... With the newly acquired second overall selection, Jacksonville picked Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who played both wide receiver and cornerback at Colorado. It was a bold move by the Jaguars, who in addition to drafting Hunter are trying to resuscitate the franchise after they hired a new coach and a new general manager this offseason. The Las Vegas Raiders were another team that made a splash early, selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty sixth overall.

The Raiders should have a fresh offense under new head coach Pete Carroll in 2025 after they traded for quarterback Geno Smith this offseason.
