2025 NFL Draft Order and Top Prospects Take Shape

With the draft order narrowing and speculation mounting, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are projected as potential top picks.

The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders are currently in contention for the first overall pick, both sitting at 2-11 records, with tie-breakers favoring the Giants for now.
Colorado's Travis Hunter, a versatile cornerback and wide receiver, is widely projected as the potential No. 1 pick due to his unique skill set and the Giants' defensive needs.
Shedeur Sanders, Colorado's quarterback and son of Deion Sanders, is speculated to be the top quarterback prospect, with the Raiders likely considering him for the No. 2 pick.
The 2025 draft class lacks a consensus on standout quarterbacks, with analysts predicting a stronger emphasis on defensive and offensive linemen in the first round.
Teams like the Patriots, Panthers, and Jets are expected to prioritize defensive upgrades, while others, such as the Bears and Cardinals, focus on protecting their young quarterbacks with offensive line talent.
