The 2025 NFL draft is quickly approaching, and there is a general consensus on some perspectives at the top of the order: the highest anticipation of CAM Ward Go No. 1 in general To the Titans of Tennessee, and so many, if not more, they expect star athletes Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter be the next. Beyond those three, however, no one supposes how the rest of the first round will develop, and the entire draft.
This is not completely different from other drafts. Every year, simulated drafts are thrown by real -time decisions of the real NFL teams, which do not always prioritize their most urgent needs with their first elections. Even so, some experts see the 2025 class of incoming rookies as especially mature with comparable talents, at least after the initial fall of the strangers highlighted as Carter and Hunter.
With that in mind, what are some of our unconventional versions of the next first round of action? We collect unpopular opinions on day 1 of some of our own NFL experts, even in some of the big names and teams that crush the event opening night:
One day 2 QB will end like the harvest cream
There will be a quarterback in the second or third round that exceeds those taken in the first round. An example: Kyle McCord, from Syracuse. Another possibility is Quinn Eweers, from Texas. I do not love this kind of quartback at the top like most of those who do it. – Pete Prisco
Sanders is the smartest QB for the Pro-Proade from Andrew Luck
Shedeur Sanders is actually the most professional field marshal that hits the draft from Andrew Luck. That is ready in the sense of how the position plays from his pocket, how he has resisted the beatings, but also in how he has been tutulated by the former professionals (that is, Tom Brady, Jeff Blake), how he has been at the center of attention since the first day … starting in Jackson State, going to the worst of the FBS FBS, and which happens in both, everything that is being of Manders, son of Sanders. – Emory Hunt
Cam Ward is an obvious selection No. 1
I am not sure how unpopular this is, but Cam Ward is not just the best quartback of a bad class; It is the number 1 worthy of selection for its own merits. Its best features (arm force, quick game precision, out of structure) are aligned with the best field marshal and weaknesses (overwhelming episodes, occasional drift in their pocket) are on the easiest side to fix. The Titans are (presumably) making the right decision. – Jared Dubin
Brown and/or giants are pulling their legs
Do both teams have long -term massive needs in Quarterback and will one pass within the first three? The slander of Shedeur Sanders has the stench of a smoke curtain prior to the draft. The account, in my opinion, was the owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam, attending Pro de Colorado. NFL owners do not appear to explore non -quarter. – Tyler Sullivan
Matthew Golden is WR1
The Texas product is able to play throughout the field and create advantages of confrontation, and its failures are largely correctable by a good professional staff. Tetaiora McMillan has the size of winning one by one, but I am worried that the best corners of the NFL are more physical with him, without worrying about beating them with his speed. I would feel more comfortable with McMillan as a threat of WR2 and in the red zone in my team that coincides with CB2S, while Golden has more capacity to be the reference receiver in an offensive. – RJ White

Rams are a legitimate threat to slide a QB
Everyone and his brother are circling the Saints of New Orleans as a candidate to open or stop the slide of a senior seafood as Sheders. That also applies to the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially if Aaron Rodgers remains out of the network. Are we forgetting that Matthew Stafford is 37 years old and now perennial perennial? Yes, the Rams are back in all inclusive mode, adding to Davante Adams for another playoff impulse. However, be McVay will need a new arm one day. – Cody Benjamin
The Packers will not take an open first -round receiver
Yes, they need one. And yes, they are at the sweet point for the position. Still, it is not happening. The Packers have not selected an open first -round receiver since they took Javon Walker at number 20 in 2002. Wait that Green Bay addresses another position at night and then takes a pass of pass in the rounds 2 or 3. Kyle Stackpole
