NFL fans make their way to the stage prior to the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24, 2025 outside of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The 2025 NFL Draft is officially underway in Green Bay. The outskirts of Lambeau Field are flooded with hundreds of NFL fans from across the country. In fact, the makeshift venue has reached maximum capacity with north of 125,000 people in attendance. 

Daily Press sports editor “The Big Dog” Mitch Vosburg is Green Bay this evening for the draft. Here are his grades for all 32 first round selections.

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL) — Ward is a winner wherever he’s been. Whether it was Incarnate Word, Washington State or “The U” Ward has won. His lightning-quick release also adds to his pedigree. And while he may not be the No. 1 overall player on the board he is worthy of this selection and fills a massive need for the Titans. Grade: A-
2. TRADE Jacksonville Jaguars (from Cleveland Browns): Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado — The Jaguars cough up No. 5, 36, 126 and a 2026 first-round pick to the Browns for No. 2, 104 and 200. And thanks to this blockbuster deal they walk away with the best pure athlete since Charles Woodson in 1998. Jacksonville needed help at receiver and corner. They fill both need.  The Browns add ammunition for a potential trade in 2026. The Jaguars cough up a decent penny to secure the best pure player in the class. Trade: B+, Pick: A+
3. New York Giants: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State — I got an up close look at every player in the green room right now. Carter was the one guy who’s aura was intimidating. The dude follows in line with a rich tradition of premiere pass rushers at Penn State. Paired with Brian Burns the G-men have a legit 1-2 punch off the edge. Grade: A+
4. New England Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU — The Patriots get their left tackle of the future. And in perfect offensive lineman fashion they get a farm boy from Louisiana to keep Drake Maye safe in the pocket. It’s the safe pick, and it’s the right pick. Grade: A
5. Cleveland Browns (from Jacksonville Jaguars): Mason Graham, DT, Michigan — When in doubt, upgrade in the trenches. The Browns did exactly that while adding more draft capital to recoup from the historically disastrous Deshaun Watson trade. Graham will be able to make an impact with Myles Garrett locked down for the long haul off the edge. It’s not an eye-popping pick on paper, but the smart pick. Grade: B+
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State — Pete Carroll gets his go-to running back. Jeanty, who possesses biceps that are probably bigger than the thighs of you, the person reading this, was the top prize in a running back class that is the deepest in my lifetime. The Raiders have other needs, but this is a great start in rebuilding an incredibly lackluster offense. Grade: A
