While they have been preparing since the end of the regular season, the Tennessee Titans will officially be on the clock on Thursday.

The Titans are widely projected to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, after that, the intrigue starts Thursday night at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Will Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter go No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns, or will the Browns shock the world by taking a quarterback or trading back? Where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty land will also be intriguing.
