NFL free agency isn’t over yet. But most of the headliners, save for a few big-name quarterbacks and older receivers, are off the market. Pro days are underway and teams are hosting prospects for visits—in other words, the 2025 NFL draft is well within reach.
Before the draft begins April 24 in Green Bay, Wis., teams will spend the next month rounding out their scouting reports on players and finalizing their big board. With the early waves of free agency in the rearview mirror, team needs are clearer, as are potential targets.
The Tennessee Titans continue inching closer to being on the clock—but as they work toward finalizing their decision at No. 1, here’s latest predictions at how the opening round unfolds.
1. Tennessee Titans (3–14)
Biggest needs: QB, OT, edge
The pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Tennessee’s quarterback depth chart consists of Will Levis and Brandon Allen. The Titans need an answer under center, and Ward is their best bet in this draft class. He’s strong-armed, creative, athletic and accurate—a strong foundation for a prospective franchise signal-caller. Trade or no trade, Ward is the favorite to go No. 1.
