2025 NFL draft: Mel Kiper's Round 1 winners, losers, values
Copy Link
It was an exciting start to the 2025 NFL draft. We saw a little bit of everything in Round 1, and it got wild quickly. The Titans took Cam Ward to begin the night as everyone expected, but then the Jaguars came out of nowhere to trade up to No. 2 for Travis Hunter. The Giants took Abdul Carter and then later moved up to get Jaxson Dart (with Shedeur Sanders still on the board). The Packers finally took a receiver in Round 1 with Matthew Golden after more than two decades of avoiding it. The Falcons really attacked a big defensive need with two edge rushers. And we saw more guards than quarterbacks!
