Grades for all 2025 first-round picks
Briefly

The draft analysis highlights the Tennessee Titans' decision to select QB Cam Ward with the first pick, noting him as the only QB worth a first-round selection. The Jaguars' acquisition of WR-CB Travis Hunter is praised for his versatile talent, indicating a promising future. The Giants' choice of OLB Abdul Carter is outlined as a strategic move to enhance their defense significantly, while the Patriots' selection of OT Will Campbell raises concerns regarding size and prototype fit within their roster.
Grading the draft in real-time is an exercise in scrutiny, projecting player and position value against history and roster needs.
We're slapping letter grades on each pick in the first round with a summary of what we love, dislike and all things in between.
Ward might not bring the cachet of Caleb Williams, but he's the right pick for a franchise mired in mediocrity.
No matter how many snaps Hunter gives the Jaguars, he's an upgrade at multiple positions because of playmaking skills and gamebreaking ability.
