Following their decisions to shelve Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby, the Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick. After entering Week 17 in that slot, the Giants - as they did in 2024 - slipped out of the top two thanks to a late-season win. Big Blue's victories over the Raiders and Cowboys dropped them to No. 5, with today's win allowing the Jets, Cardinals and Titans to leapfrog them.
When the Patriots surprisingly selected RB TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, it seemed like a solid indicator of how they felt about continuing with Rhamondre Stevenson as their starter. After a down year under Jerod Mayo, many believed the veteran's days were numbered, and Henderson's arrival all but ensured that. But Mike Vrabel's regime wasn't willing to do that just yet, as they kept Stevenson as the RB1 throughout the summer and for most of the season so far.
The Washington Commanders only had five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. This came after Adam Peters gave away a handful of selections in trade deals for cornerback Marshon Lattimore, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. At least one of their new additions, second-round cornerback Trey Amos, already looks like he's going to pay dividends. The former Ole Miss standout joins a crowded defensive backfield that includes Lattimore and second-year rising star Mike Sainristil, and Washington has been raving about him all summer.
