instant grades for every 2025 nfl draft first round pick

How did your favorite team’s first round pick grade out? The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, with Round 1 being underway from Lambeau Field. This draft has the least amount of consensus at any spot in recent memory, with multiple reports coming out that this could be the wildest first round in a long time.

So let’s strap in and get ready for what looks to be an eventful night. Ward at 1 feels a little pricey, but that’s the going rate of picking a QB these days. I have some questions about Ward’s consistency with his mechanics and penchant for brainfart plays, but his explosiveness with his arm and feel for big plays should work in the Titans’ offense. The 2025 NFL Draft is underway, and Round 1 is officially in the books.

The 2025 NFL first round was packed with quarterback drama, surprise risers, and blue-chip defenders expected to become instant cornerstones. Now that we’re halfway through the season, the early returns are finally clear. Some rookies have exceeded expectations and become immediate impact players, while others are still struggling to adjust to the league’s speed and physicality. From breakout stars reshaping their franchises to first-round gambles that haven’t paid off yet, we break down how every 2025 first-round pick has performed so far — and what their trajectory looks like heading... It’s unfair to fully blame Ward for the Tennessee Titans’ struggles. But like, Caleb Williams and Robert Griffin III had excellent rookie years on horrible teams with textbook coaching malpractice.

Ward is barely completing over half his pass attempts, is in danger of finishing with more interceptions than passing touchdowns, and, oh yeah, has his Titans in a spot to potentially pick first overall... Few drafts in recent memory have offered the air of unpredictability that the 2025 NFL Draft appears to. We've seemingly known for weeks now that former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward will come off the board with the No. 1 pick to the Tennessee Titans. After that, though, it feels like we won't know for sure what will happen until the cards are turned in. Part of that might be the presence of traditionally chaotic franchises like the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, among others, but there are other questions abound.

Rumors have been contradictory over the past few months and even more so in the week leading up to the NFL Draft. Just when you think one thing is trending toward being certain — something like Shedeur Sanders being a Top 5 pick — that notion gets turned on its head in a flash. It's happened time and again throughout the draft process. The result is that we have little idea how things will transpire, but that also makes this one of the most fun drafts in recent memory. Now that the 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, though, we're ready for whatever chaos comes our way. With that, we've got the entire draft order planned out — and, shockingly, still no team has traded its first-round selection — and we'll be tracking every pick with gut reaction grades and some...

Let's get into it. The 2025 NFL Draft is finally here! Mock draft season is over, and the Round 1 festivities kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and ClutchPoints has you covered with live NFL draft grades for all 32 selections.

Check back after every pick to see how your team and all the league teams picked their newest potential stars. Check back right here after each pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft for live grades! The Titans' picking Cam Ward first has been the worst-kept secret of the 2025 NFL Draft. While it's not a shocking choice, it's the right one. Quarterback is the most important position in football, and when you have a chance to draft a franchise signal-caller at No. 1, you have to take it.

Ward would have been the sixth or seventh QB taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, but this isn't 2024. Life is all about timing, and this is Ward and the Titans' time to find each other. Tennessee fans would probably prefer Caleb Williams or Arch Manning, but this is what they've got. Ultimately, it's the right pick in the wrong draft, so the Titans get as good a grade as they can get in that situation. The first round of the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay held intrigue because of a few high-profile names along with the overall perception of this year's class.

The former is still viewed as an enigma based on how he'll be utilized positionally, while the latter is still waiting to hear his name called on Day 2 of the draft. Last year, anonymous general managers were raving about the first-round talent and a "loaded" top 10. This year, there's expected to be a quick drop-off in talent. "Multiple teams have said the player who will be drafted at No. 10 is the same quality as the player drafted at No. 32," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

"It will be about each team's preference, but in the opinion of multiple personnel people, there is not a tremendous amount of difference."
