As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, several key developments and insights have emerged that football fans will want to know:
## Draft Order and Top Picks
The Tennessee Titans are poised to select Miami QB Cam Ward with the first overall pick, according to NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah. The Cleveland Browns are likely to choose Colorado's two-way star Travis Hunter at No. 2, and the New York Giants may select Penn State's Abdul Carter with the third pick[3].
## Quarterback Needs
The Browns and Giants, by passing on quarterbacks in the first round, are setting up an intriguing subplot. Both teams have similar draft capital, which could lead to a "game of chicken" as they consider trading up in Round 2 to address their quarterback needs[3].
## Notable Prospects
- **Jalon Walker**: The San Francisco 49ers are projected to select EDGE Jalon Walker from Georgia at No. 11. Walker led Georgia with 11.5 sacks over the past two seasons and can also line up as an inside linebacker[2].
- **Matthew Golden**: The Dallas Cowboys are expected to pick WR Matthew Golden from Texas at No. 12. Golden impressed with a 4.29-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine and caught nine touchdowns last season[2].
## Team Movements and Injuries
- **Chicago Bears**: The Bears have strengthened their offensive front but may still make changes. Will Campbell could replace Braxton Jones at left tackle or slide inside if Jonah Jackson is injured again[2].
- **Arizona Cardinals**: WR Greg Dortch has signed a one-year tender with the Cardinals[1].
- **Tennessee Titans**: The Titans have made two cuts recently, though specific details are not provided[1].
