Part of the 2025 NFL Draft puzzle has fallen into place. The majority of the first-round draft order is now known following the conclusion of the regular season, but it is still more than three months away.
Here is an early look at one prospect considered an ideal fit for each non-playoff team:
Some feel as though Ward is the best quarterback eligible for the draft. Some may feel it is Shedeur Sanders or even Drew Allar. There is not a clear favorite. Ward is a personal favorite right now, so that’s why he gets the nod in this spot. Titans head coach Brian Callahan would probably prefer a veteran quarterback going into his second season rather than working with another quarterback on a rookie contract, but options are limited, especially now that it seems Minnesota will work to retain Sam Darnold. The next best opportunity is to draft a rookie quarterback even though they have several other needs.
If Penn State wins another game and Allar continues excelling on the game’s biggest stage, then his stock could rise to a level where he would have to re-consider entering the draft. The other consideration is that he grew up a Browns fan. The team currently needs a quarterback and holds the No. 2 overall selection. If it is his dream to play for Cleveland, there may not be a better time for that to become a reality. At 6-foot-5 and 238 pounds, Allar is a quarterback with a big frame who has shown improved mobility. He has improved every year and is capable of throwing from different arm angles.
Sanders will probably create the most draft discourse this cycle because he does have his supporters, but there are some much lower on him as well. The son of Deion Sanders is highly competitive and un-phased in big games. The reality is that New York is desperate for a quarterback. It has to find a player who will be entertaining in 2025, at the very least. The Giants have made a public declaration to retain head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, but next year is almost certainly their last unless there is evidence of team growth.
The idea of Hunter falling to No. 4 overall probably feels like a pipe dream for New England, but it is not impossible. The two-way star could potentially play cornerback at the next level with the occasional appearance in offensive packages OR strictly focus on wide receiver. The Patriots should be focused on adding talent for quarterback Drake Maye. The top contenders would be Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell and Hunter.
