The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 24th.
A draft class that is unique in its own ways will make for an exciting first round. It will be a spectacle with eyebrow-raising moves and picks.
These are thoughts I have about this year’s group of prospects at-large and how it affects the Los Angeles Rams along with the rest of the NFL.
The big board is top heavy
There are probably only four players amongst this year’s group that would be in the top-five conversation in most other drafts:
Travis Hunter, CB/WR; Colorado
Abdul Carter, EDGE; Penn State
Ashton Jeanty, RB; Boise State
Mason Graham, DT; Michigan
All signs are pointing towards QB Cam Ward being the first off the board, though he’s shot up mock drafts because of (1) the premium paid to acquire quarterbacks and (2) the lack of top signal callers available in this particular class.
