In a thrilling close to the NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles have clinched the final spot in the 2025 NFL Draft order by winning Super Bowl LIX. This victory places them at the 32nd pick, directly following the Kansas City Chiefs, who will select at 31st. The draft lineup offers a complete view of the upcoming choices where each team will look to bolster their roster for future success.
Titans to Lead Off NFL Draft After Tough Season
The Tennessee Titans are slated for the first overall pick in the 2025 draft following a challenging season with a 3-14 record, tied for the worst in the league along with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. The Titans, however, emerged as the holders of the coveted first pick due to their weaker schedule compared to their peers, thereby winning the tiebreaker.
The buzz around who will be the first pick is growing, with Miami quarterback Cam Ward currently favored at -120. Ward’s impressive collegiate performance positions him as a potential franchise leader. However, the competition remains stiff with Penn State’s dynamic defensive end, Abdul Carter, not far behind in the odds at +225. Also in the mix are Colorado’s dual-threat Shedeur Sanders and versatile Travis Hunter, who have set the collegiate scene alight with their performances at quarterback and wide receiver/cornerback respectively.
A Closer Look at the Top Ten Draft Picks
The draft order shapes up with significant implications for several teams looking to rebuild or enhance their line-ups:
- Titans
- Browns
- Giants
- Patriots
- Jaguars
- Raiders
- Jets
- Panthers
- Saints
- Bears
Each team in the top ten holds a pivotal position that could dictate the pace and strategy of the draft. Teams like the Patriots and Jaguars, picking at fourth and fifth respectively, are in prime positions to secure top talent that could potentially alter their team’s trajectory.
Draft Strategy and Team Needs
The focus for many teams will be on balancing between choosing the best available talent and addressing specific positional needs. For teams like the Browns and Giants, who share the burden of a 3-14 record, the draft represents a crucial opportunity to address multiple roster gaps and ignite a turnaround.
The later picks, including last year’s Super Bowl participants—the Chiefs and Eagles—will likely look to deepen their squads. These teams, picking at the tail end of the round, will have to strategize differently, possibly picking up emerging talents that have slipped through or trading picks for strategic advantages.
