Travis Hunter Jr. is the best pure athlete in the 2025 NFL Draft. If he is intent on playing wide receiver, then that is where Jacksonville will play him even though he may be best served as a cornerback. Unfortunately, there will likely be new pieces on offense and Trevor Lawrence will have something to prove.

Carson Beck entered the season as QB1, but is not a first-round prospect. As the season has progressed, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward have gone back and forth for the title. Ward does a good job of moving around in the pocket and has been throwing with anticipation. Las Vegas gets a fresh start at quarterback.

With Cam Ward off the board, New York’s choice is pretty straight forward. Shedeur Sanders has done a good job moving around in the pocket and reading out defenses for periods of this season. Will Deion Sanders be a part of a package deal?

A tale as old as time: Atlanta’s pass rush has been one of the worst in the league this season. LT Overton is unlikely to be an immediate solution to those concerns, but he has the size and athletic profile to develop into a difference maker if he puts in the time.

Running back should be the final piece to a team, but Washington is ahead of schedule and Ashton Jeanty is a force multiplier. He is a valuable contributor in both the run and pass games. The Commanders have cycled through running backs this season. Jeanty is a staple in the offense, similar to what New York had hoped Saquon Barkley would be for Daniel Jones.
