2025 nfl mock draft titans browns giants address qb after free

The first week of NFL free agency was a whirlwind, with teams aggressively addressing key roster needs. These early moves have also provided a clearer picture of how the 2025 NFL Draft might unfold. In this updated top-10 mock draft, we project how teams will continue to fill their biggest holes—including one franchise making a bold trade up the draft board. After the first week of free agency, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Titans are likely to select a quarterback with the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, especially after opting not to... It’s evident that Will Levis isn’t the long-term solution, and with no other viable options, Tennessee should take Cam Ward. Ward stands out as the top quarterback in this class, boasting elite athleticism and exceptional arm strength.

With further development in his pocket presence, he has the potential to emerge as a high-caliber NFL quarterback. The Browns are another team expected to target a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. While they acquired Kenny Pickett, he’s merely a temporary solution. By selecting Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland lands the most polished passer in this class. Sanders demonstrated remarkable accuracy, completing 74% of his passes on his way to earning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors. If the Browns can build a strong supporting cast—particularly an offensive line that can protect him—Sanders has the potential to become one of the best quarterbacks in franchise history, a position that has long...

Roger Goodell isn’t Santa Claus, but when he steps on a makeshift stage Thursday night just outside Lambeau Field, the NFL commissioner will deliver 32 gifts for teams across the league. Some picks will be precisely what the team and its fans hoped for. Others will be disappointed. But after a year spent watching, meeting and ranking prospects to prepare for the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay, Wis., the fun kicks off at 8 p.m.

ET Thursday on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. Here are Sports Illustrated’s final predictions on how the opening round could unfold. April is here, officially signaling the final sprint to the 2025 NFL Draft. Anything is possible come draft day, and this year’s class may be filled with more uncertainty than we’ve seen in a long time. Trades, team boards and varying opinions on the game’s most important position will make for an intriguing first round. Here's just one of the numerous possibilities that could play out on draft day.

Prior to free agency, the Titans were thought to be potential players in the veteran quarterback market. Nothing materialized, and they will now almost certainly draft a signal-caller. After finishing 31st in PFF passing grade without pressure, Ward profiles as a significant upgrade over Will Levis, considering the Miami standout earned the highest clean pocket passing grade in the 2025 class. Trade terms: Bears receive Pick No. 2; Browns receive Pick Nos. 10, 39 and 148 and a 2026 first-round pick

The Bears evidently believe their roster can win now and have been aggressive to maximize that opportunity. What’s more aggressive than jumping into the top three to grab the best pass rusher in the class? Dayo Odeyingbo is a solid veteran signing, but Carter’s 93.0 PFF pass-rush grade on true pass sets would raise Chicago's defense into the upper echelon and is well worth the price needed to acquire... The NFL regular season is done. After 272 football games, we have 14 teams ready for their shot at the Super Bowl. However, the more important thing is that we have 18 teams ready for their shot at revitalizing their franchise via the NFL Draft.

The 2025 NFL Draft got a major shakeup on Sunday, with the New England Patriots and Joe Milton (!) beating the Buffalo Bills and losing out on the top pick. This moved the Tennessee Titans up to the top spot, holding the first overall pick for the first time since 2016, when they traded their pick to the Rams (who ended up taking QB... Rounding out the top five are the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars. We had an insane amount of teams finish below six wins this season, just absolute muckball in 2024. However, the light at the end of the slop tunnel is here in the form of the 2025 NFL Draft. In this fourth iteration, we have some new faces in new places, with the order being set via Tankathon.

So let’s get into it! New team, but the same QB still goes. Sanders has his flaws, but I think his playstyle is a much better fit for the Titans than QB Cam Ward’s, which is a bit more chaotic than HC Brian Callahan would like. If they can fix the offensive line up, Sanders can be a quality starting QB. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cleveland trades out of this pick, but you can’t go into 2025 with Deshaun Watson as your QB. Cleveland’s current options on the roster are...uninspiring, so they pick the Miami gunslinger here.

Ward can be a bit reckless in his play, but he has the big play ability and a flexible release to attack downfield in Cleveland. The Giants fans are probably HEATED because they missed out on the top two QBs, but they make up for it by drafting the best player in the class. Hunter is a game-changing player who has the instincts and ball skills to be a dominant corner, who can also give you some fun snaps on offense The 2025 NFL mock draft frenzy is only just getting started. We’re merely a couple of weeks away from NFL Free Agency at this point. The NFL Scouting Combine is just a week away.

Who said anything about the NFL having a true “off” season? We’re fully into the NFL offseason at this point which means we need to be looking at any and every possible scenario. In this 2025 NFL mock draft, we’re going to take a look at a scenario in which the Tennessee Titans make a somewhat surprising pick, but also a pick that is slowly gaining some... Travis Hunter suffers a bit of a fall in this mock draft scenario, while the Cleveland Browns make a bold quarterback move early. Nobody makes a wilder pick in this mock draft than the New York Jets, however, who take a huge swing at a quarterback some in their building are rumored to like. More and more, it’s feeling like the Tennessee Titans are poised to potentially punt the quarterback situation to 2026 and go with a veteran bridge option in 2025.

That’s probably not a terrible idea for GM Mike Borgonzi. He doesn’t need to immediately attach his reputation and job on a quarterback he doesn’t fully believe in. Whether the Titans take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter, I think they’re in a great position to add a core, foundational player in this draft. Finally, it's all starting to look a bit clearer. The draft process is always fun, and uncertainty is never going to stop us from projecting the future. But you've got to admit, it's a heck of a lot easier to forecast the draft when the dust has settled a bit on free agency.

That's where things stand now. Free agency is technically ongoing, but most of the important veterans have found new teams and signed new deals. Exciting as that is for them, it's just as exciting for us as we look again toward the 2025 NFL Draft. Here's a post-free agency first-round mock to help gauge the lay of the land. 1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The 2025 NFL draft is roughly one week away, and teams are finalizing their draft boards as they look to improve their rosters in the short- and long-term future. The Tennessee Titans are sitting with the first overall selection after a 3-13 record, where the expectation is they're going to draft quarterback Cam Ward. But could they go an entirely different direction? And if Ward were to fall, would the Cleveland Browns or New York Giants be willing to let him get past them? Sometimes, the NFL draft doesn't go how you think. Now and again, a team takes a chance on a player many believe would be drafted later.

Sometimes, players that you thought were going to be selected high fall farther than expected. That's the beauty of the draft: No one knows anything until it unfolds. With the NFL draft just around the corner, here are our latest first-round projections, which feature some surprises in the Top 10. Everyone expects the Titans to select quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick. However, they might be wise to understand that this class isn't that impressive at the QB position. Taking Abdul Carter, the best player in the draft, is the move for them.

NFL free agency is largely in the rearview mirror with all eyes shifting to the 2025 NFL Draft. There have been plenty of rumors regarding movers and shakers in the class, with many wondering where Shedeur Sanders will land. We also haven’t seen a first-round pick traded in the 2025 NFL Draft, but that’s likely to change by draft day. Here, our latest 2025 NFL mock draft projects the first round with a few trades. The Tennessee Titans are taking quarterback Cam Ward with the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tennessee’s emphasis on improving the offensive line through NFL free agency should erase any notion of a trade-down.

Ward isn’t walking into a perfect situation by any means, but he’ll have a functional offensive line protecting him and he can lift the talent around him. Tennessee is taking a bit of a gamble here on a non-elite QB prospect, but the franchise needs a quarterback and Ward is by far the best in the 2025 NFL Draft. Related: NFL Draft rumors hint at likely Titans’ move with first overall pick The Cleveland Browns are reaching here, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders probably isn’t even a top-20 prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, the Atlanta Falcons now want draft compensation for Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson seems destined to play for the New York Giants. It leaves Cleveland with no other viable alternative to give Myles Garrett the caliber of quarterback he wants.

The good news is that Sanders can fit the kind of offense Kevin Stefanski wants to run and Cleveland is putting together a viable offensive line. Sanders fits the Browns’ scheme and a rookie QB contract makes life easier with the Garrett and Deshaun Watson deals still on the books. Related: Mutual interest between Cleveland Browns, veteran QB
