Fri Apr 25 23:20:00 UTC 2025: ## NFL Draft 2025: Titans Take Ward First Overall in Blockbuster First Round
**Green Bay, WI** – The 2025 NFL Draft kicked off in Green Bay last night with a series of unexpected trades and high-profile selections. For the first time since the league expanded to 32 teams, every team entered the first round with their original pick, but that didn’t last long.
The Tennessee Titans, as expected, selected quarterback Cam Ward with the number one overall pick. However, the evening quickly escalated into a frenzy of trades. The Jacksonville Jaguars made a significant trade to secure wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter at number two. The Cleveland Browns strategically moved down to the fifth pick, accumulating additional draft capital before selecting defensive tackle Mason Graham. The New York Giants also made a late surge back into the first round to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart.
While the first round concluded with a flurry of activity, the draft is far from over. With seven more rounds remaining, teams will continue to build their rosters over the next two days. CBS Sports provides comprehensive coverage, including live analysis, an updated draft tracker, and Pete Prisco’s draft grades. The network also offers a nightly recap podcast, “With the First Pick,” dissecting the winners and losers of each day.
