We are ten days away from the 2025 NFL draft. Now that pro days and team meetings are slowing down, teams are beginning to finalize their big boards.

With that in mind, here is a stab at predicting how the first ten picks will shake out.

1. Tennessee Titans

Cam Ward | QB | Miami

After neglecting the position in free agency, the Titans take their quarterback of the future. Tennessee experimented with Will Levis, but it did not turn out as expected. Ward needs to work on his decision-making, but he has the desired tools to be the Titans’ franchise quarterback. He possesses the mentality, arm talent, mobility, and precise accuracy to deliver the football to all levels of the field.

2. Cleveland Browns

Travis Hunter | WR/CB | Colorado

The Browns consider taking a quarterback here, but elect not to force it and take the best player in the draft. Hunter gives Cleveland a dynamic two-way player who will likely make his money on the defensive side of the ball but should also get 10-15 snaps per game on offense in crucial situations.

3. New York Giants

Abdul Carter | EDGE | Penn State

The Giants are another team that could select a quarterback. Like the Browns, they hold off and address another premium position. New York adds Carter to an edge defender room already with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, making this one of the best position groups in the league. Carter is an athletic freak who lives in opposing backfields with his combination of physicality, burst, bend, and arsenal of moves.

4. New England Patriots

Will Campbell | OT | LSU

It’s a new era in New England with Mike Vrabel as the team’s head coach. Vrabel comes from a gritty and rugged mentality in the trenches and wants to build around quarterback Drake Maye, so he accomplishes both with the selection of Campbell. Some believe that Campbell may be better inside, but he has the talent to try to play tackle at the next level. Regardless of where he plays, he would give Maye immediate protection.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

Mason Graham | DL | Michigan

The Jaguars added some new pieces in free agency, but none were along the interior of the defensive line. Pairing Graham with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker up front could bolster a unit that ranked 32nd in defensive EPA per play. Graham would supply Jacksonville with a solid run defender and a juiced-up interior pass rusher.

6. Las Vegas Raiders

Ashton Jeanty | RB | Boise State

The Raiders’ running game was poor last season. They ranked last in total yards and yards per carry. Jeanty’s presence would significantly help in this department and the passing game and give head coach Pete Carroll his Marshawn Lynch.

7. New York Jets

Armand Membou | OT | Missouri

After crushing the NFL Scouting Combine, Membou has seen his draft stock skyrocket tremendously. Membou is an excellent pass protector with great size at 332 pounds, strength, and overall technique. With 2024 first-round pick Olu Fashanu protecting Justin Fields’ blindside, Membou would slide in at right tackle, the position he played in his final two seasons in college.

8. Carolina Panthers

Mykel Williams | EDGE | Georgia

The Panthers have a lot of needs on the defensive side of the ball, but the pass rush needs more juice. Williams is raw, but he is an inside-out player with the traits to wreak havoc.

9. New Orleans Saints

Shedeur Sanders | QB | Colorado

The Saints were already a quarterback-needy team, but with Derek Carr’s 2025 season in question, the need is much more pressing. Sanders’ stock has been all over the place, but New Orleans would be a great landing spot for him. He would have a good mentor in Carr and an offensive guru in Kellen Moore as a head coach to help elevate his game.

10. Chicago Bears

Omarion Hampton | RB | North Carolina

Head coach Ben Johnson comes from a Lions team that had success with two running backs, David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Hampton is a well-rounded back who would be a great complement to D’Andre Swift.
