2025 NFL Draft Primer: All the facts and stats you need to know

The countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft has moved from months to weeks to days and now to hours. Round 1 commences on Thursday night, putting an end to all the mock drafts we've seen over the past few months.

As you read your final mocks ahead of Thursday's festivities, there might be one thing that stands out: Every single team still owns its first-round pick.

So, the 2025 draft is the first where a first-round pick wasn't traded before Draft Day in the Common Draft Era. 

That's a surprise considering the number of trades before recent drafts, especially at the premium positions. In 2024, the Chicago Bears held the No. 1 overall selection because the Carolina Panthers traded the pick in order to draft Bryce Young at No. 1 in 2023. The Houston Texans initially had an extra first-round pick in the 2024 draft as well, getting that selection from the Cleveland Browns in the Deshaun Watson trade.

The Texans traded the 2024 first-round pick they got from the Browns to the Minnesota Vikings ahead of Draft Day. 

Some other notable pre-draft trades that involved a first-round pick in recent years include Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets (swapping of
