2025 NFL Draft grades for Round 1: Live pick-by-pick analysis

Months of scouting, analysis and predictions have led to this. The 2025 NFL draft is here starting with Round 1 from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

For the first time in NFL history, all 32 franchises own their first-round selections. Every fanbase across the league is invested in the opening night of the draft.

This year’s draft has plenty of possibilities. Though the No. 1 pick seems very certain for the Tennessee Titans entering Round 1, the rest of the first round and beyond has no clear hierarchy or order. Some teams will likely value specific players much more than others, even more so than usual, as the talent level looks pretty even from pick No. 13 through No. 50.

That leaves room for some surprises. It didn’t take long for the 2024 draft to give us a shock selection as the Atlanta Falcons picked quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall after signing Kirk Cousins to a big deal in free agency.

Will there be another surprise early on? Here’s our live analysis of every pick in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft:
