2025 NFL Draft: Tracking the Latest Rumors & QB Landing Spots

Quarterback Carousel Heating Up
There’s heavy talk about the top QBs—Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, and Jaxson Dart. Ward’s name keeps popping as a potential No. 1 overall for the Titans, with some saying they’re locked in unless a trade shakes things up. Sanders, however, is divisive—some scouts see him sliding past the top 10 due to concerns about his processing speed and durability, while others think teams like the Giants or Cowboys could pounce if he falls. Dart’s rising fast, with visits to teams like the Browns, Raiders, and Rams fueling buzz he could sneak into Round 1’s back half.

Travis Hunter vs. Abdul Carter for Top Non-QB
Hunter’s two-way star power has him pegged as a top-5 lock, with the Browns at No. 2 rumored to be eyeing him as a WR/CB hybrid to boost their offense. Carter’s edge-rushing prowess is gaining traction, though, with whispers the Giants prefer him at No. 3 to pair with their pass-rush core. Scouts argue Hunter’s versatility makes him safer, but Carter’s sack potential has some teams hyping him as a game-wrecker.

Running Back Renaissance
Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton are generating serious noise. Jeanty’s seen as a top-10 possibility—unusual for RBs—with some linking him to the Jets or Bears for a Round 1 splash. Hampton’s stock is climbing, with buzz he’s the No. 2 RB due to his power. Some sources highlight teams doing “extensive” RB homework, suggesting a deeper class than expected, though skeptics still call first-round RBs a trap.
