As we enter November in Jacksonville, anticipation for the upcoming NFL draft is building. With just two months left in the NFL and college football seasons, fans and teams alike are keeping an eye on how the draft order is shaping up for 2025. The latest draft projections show that the Jacksonville Jaguars currently hold the number one pick, a position they have navigated in previous drafts.
The Jaguars sit at 2-8, struggling with poor pass coverage. In the latest mock draft, the team is projected to select Travis Hunter, a cornerback/wide receiver from Colorado, who stands at 6-1 and weighs 185 pounds. Many believe Hunter could greatly bolster the Jaguars’ defense and provide valuable support for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Following the Jaguars in the draft order are the New York Giants, also at 2-8, who are expected to look for a new direction after a rough season under quarterback Daniel Jones. The Giants might target Shedeur Sanders, a polished quarterback who could fit their youth movement well alongside promising players like wide receiver Malik Nabers.
The Tennessee Titans hold the third pick with a current record of 2-7 and are evaluating their options with quarterback Will Levis. If his development continues to show promise, the team may consider various strategies for the future, including potential replacements for veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
On the other hand, the Cleveland Browns, also at 2-7, might start to think about moving on from Deshaun Watson. Analysts see them picking a strong-armed quarterback that aligns with their system moving forward. The Las Vegas Raiders at number five are also looking for a franchise quarterback with dual-threat capabilities.
With so much talent expected to enter the league, teams drafting in the upcoming months will have plenty of intriguing options. Each decision could significantly alter the future trajectory of these franchises as they strive for success in the competitive landscape of the NFL.
