QUINIX News: 2025 NFL Draft: Day 1 recap of first-round picks

U.S.

NFL Draft could bring millions to Green Bay

The Tennessee Titans selected Miami quarterback Cam Ward as the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft, a drama-free move that had been predicted for weeks by football pundits. 

In a sign of the importance of the position, Ward becomes the third straight QB to go No. 1 overall, after the Chicago Bears selected USC’s Caleb Williams with the first pick in 2024, and the Carolina Panthers selected Alabama’s Bryce Young in 2023.

The last non-quarterback to go No. 1 was Georgia defensive end Travon Walker in 2022, picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Although Ward was considered a virtual lock to go to the Titans, the rest of the draft was expected to be one of the most unpredictable in years.

Unlike 2024’s draft class, considered one of the most talent-laden in decades, 2025 doesn’t have anywhere near as many blue-chip prospects, and forecasts on who might go where have been all over the map.   

For the first time ever, the draft is being held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, just outside Lambeau Field, the iconic home of the Packers.

Rounds two and three will take place Friday beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, while rounds four through seven will be held Saturday beginning at noon.
