The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft has wrapped up, and it has left fans buzzing! With only two quarterbacks selected, the spotlight shone brightly on some unexpected choices, and one legendary name was notably absent.

Despite the hype, Shedeur Sanders of Colorado was left waiting as teams opted for other players. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans, holding the coveted No. 1 pick for the first time since 1978, made a splash by selecting Miami quarterback, Cam Ward.

In a bold move, the Jacksonville Jaguars snagged Colorado's star two-way player, Travis Hunter, at No. 2 following a blockbuster trade with the Browns. The Giants followed suit, drafting Penn State's Abdul Carter at No. 3, marking a powerful start to the draft.

However, the Giants stirred controversy later by trading up to pick Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, which drew a mixed reaction.
