After months of speculation, the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has been made and the Tennessee Titans have a new face of the franchise.
A season of struggles led to the Titans owning the worst record in the NFL last year – giving them the top selection in this year’s draft.
Desperate for a quarterback, the Titans picked a gunslinger with the first selection, delighting their fans back in Nashville.
With the top pick, Tennessee selected University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward first overall in the Draft, which was held in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Surrounded by his family, Ward celebrated with his mother and father in the green room just off the stage.
And then came the shocker of the night.
The Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft
Just moments after Ward was drafted, the Jaguars traded up to take Travis Hunter second
Just moments after Ward’s selection was announced, a massive shocking blockbuster of a trade saw the Jacksonville Jaguars move up to the second overall pick.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jags received the second overall pick, a fourth round pick (No. 104), and a sixth-rounder (No. 200).
In exchange, the Jaguars sent the fifth-overall pick as well as a 2026 first-round pick. They also gave Cleveland pick No. 36 in this year’s draft and a fourth-rounder (No. 126).
With that pick, the Jaguars selected a generational two-way talent in cornerback/wide receiver hybrid Travis Hunter out of the University of Colorado.
Following Hunter, the New York Giants selected Abdul Carter – considered by some experts to be the top overall talent in the draft – with the third overall pick.
