Fri Jan 31 16:30:00 IST 2025: ## 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterback Frenzy Dominates First Round

**Nashville, TN** – The 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a quarterback-centric affair, according to a new mock draft by *The Tennessean*. With at least seven teams possessing significant long-term questions at the position, this year’s draft class, while considered “in-between good and bad,” is projected to see a run on quarterbacks in the first round.

The mock draft predicts that Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders will be top-10 selections. The Tennessee Titans, picking first, are among the teams predicted to select a QB, along with the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Jets.

Other notable predictions from the mock draft include:

* **Patriots:** Select Cam Ward, the top prospect, despite finishing the season strong.
* **Jaguars:** Bolster their defensive line, a common theme in recent years, by drafting defensive lineman Graham.
* **Raiders:** Choose quarterback Jaden Dart, acknowledging his potential despite inconsistencies.
* **Packers:** Select Quinn Ewers who will back up Aaron Rodgers in 2025.
* **Panthers:** Select Abdul Carter, addressing their need for a speedy, powerful player.
* **Saints:** Draft quarterback Jayden Gabriel, a later-round prospect in most drafts, indicating their immediate need at the position.
* **49ers:** Choose the top wide receiver prospect in the class.
* **Cowboys:** Select Xavier Burden to bolster their receiver corps.
* **Colts:** Draft a top-10 defensive prospect.
* **Falcons:** Select an edge rusher.
* **Cardinals:** Select an edge rusher.
* **Bengals:** Choose an edge rusher.
* **Buccaneers:** Select Marvin Egbuka to secure their future at wide receiver.
* **Broncos:** Select a tight end.
* **Commanders:** Select a quarterback.
* **Chargers:** Select a tight end.
* **Packers:** Select a guard/tackle prospect.
* **Vikings:** Add a safety.
* **Seahawks:** Select an offensive tackle.
* **Ravens:** Select an edge rusher.
* **Lions:** Add a defensive lineman.
* **Bills:** Draft a wide receiver.
* **Eagles:** Select a defensive lineman.
* **Chiefs:** Select an offensive lineman.

The mock draft highlights the perceived weakness in this year’s quarterback class. While Ward and Sanders are considered top prospects, the subsequent picks suggest a lack of elite talent at the position, prompting several teams to prioritize filling their QB need early. The success or failure of this strategy will significantly impact the overall evaluation of the 2025 NFL Draft.
