The 2025 NFL Draft class is not one likely to incite multiple trades up on draft night. There is a limited supply of blue-chip talent and those teams in position to nab one are not going to be quick to trade out.
Currently, teams with a need at quarterback hold picks Nos. 1 and 2 overall, so most believe quarterbacks will be taken in those spots and that will be the end of the discussion on Day 1. It certainly could play out that way, but this is not a quarterback class that cuts off all other conversations. A year ago, teams holding the first three picks stood pat and took a quarterback because the talent available was deemed worthy. Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders are the perceived top options at the position — and both are top-50 caliber to be sure — but it is not unreasonable to suggest a team may not be in love with either or both. If the Browns favor Ward, but he is taken No. 1 overall by the Titans, then they could entertain the idea of taking a non-quarterback or trading out if someone covets Sanders. The cost to make that move would likely not be as high as it had been a year ago unless it were born out of an act of desperation.
Having laid that out, one of those scenarios is played out in this thought exercise.
Without further ado, let’s kick this off!
