The stage is set for the 2025 NFL Draft as the top 18 picks are now locked in, marking a pivotal moment for teams eyeing a competitive rebuild or a chance to solidify their rosters.

The draft order is determined by a straightforward formula—teams with the worst records in the previous season receive the highest picks, while playoff teams are slotted later.

Trades, however, can shake things up, with teams leveraging their picks to move up or down the board.

For the teams with early picks, whether it’s landing a franchise quarterback, a shutdown defender, or a dynamic playmaker, these picks could alter the trajectory of a franchise for years to come.

For franchises at the top of the draft order, the stakes are especially high. With the order now locked in, the countdown to selection day begins, and the anticipation only continues to grow.
