2025 NFL draft order: Titans at No. 1, Seahawks at No. 18 - ESPN
The order for the first 18 picks of the 2025 NFL draft is set after Week 18, with the Tennessee Titans landing at No. 1. The order for Nos. 19-32 will lock in over the course of the playoffs.
The 2025 draft will take place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the first time. Round 1 will begin on April 24, Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 25, and Rounds 4 through 7 are on April 26. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC and the ESPN App. No team has traded its first-round pick, so all 32 teams are slated to make a Day 1 selection.
Check out the order for pick Nos. 1-18 below, and we projected the rest of the first round with ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI). Team write-ups from our NFL Nation reporters have been updated from mid-December for the teams that missed the playoffs.

They have an assortment of roster needs that extend far beyond the signal-caller; neither Will Levis nor Mason Rudolph played well enough to mask any of the major issues.
Brian Callahan went through a similar process when he was offensive coordinator for the Bengals, who had the No. 1 pick in 2020. That draft yielded key contributors in Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and Logan Wilson. Callahan points to having top picks in other rounds as more chances to boost the roster, too. But trading down is something Tennessee could consider because it would help it add more draft picks and stockpile young talent to build around. — Turron Davenport
