After trades were heavily teased within the early picks, the Jacksonville Jaguars jumped to No. 2 to land WR/CB hybrid Travis Hunter, with the Cleveland Browns stepping back to No. 5, among other pick additions.

Shedeur Sanders is still waiting for his name to be called during the 2025 NFL draft. The New York Giants traded back into the first round, moving up from the 34th pick to the 25th pick and selected a quarterback. It wasn't Sanders. Instead, they picked Ole Miss signal-caller Jaxson Dart.
