The Tennessee Titans will be on the clock in a few hours, and all characters have indicated that the team will choose quarterback Cam Ward, although nothing will be official before NFL commissioner Roger Goodell steps up to the podium and announces his name.

Apart from the former Miami Hurricanes star, which goes # 1 to the titans, the way the rest of the NFL draft could shake out is unclear. Travis Hunter, who is taken # 2, seems like a sure thing for Cleveland Browns, but the team can also address its quarterback situation and defense.

What about New York Giants? Could the team go quarterback on # 3 or decide that top-tier-pass-rusher abdul carter with that choice? The team has also rumored to act back in the first round and possibly act back to the last part of the round after their first election.

There is still a ton to be decided is coming Thursday night. Here’s what Pakinomist Digital Sports Staff thinks could happen if there’s no trades in the first round.

1. Tennessee Titans: QB CAM WARD

The titans get their potential franchise -quarterback with Ward, which has risen as consensus -Over -robbery quarterback selection of 2025, although he lacks the “generation” brilliance of the prospects past.

2. Cleveland Browns: CB/WR TRAVIS HUNTER

What has been mocked several times again here. Blue Chip, Generation, no matter what superlative you would like to use for an elite view with the ability to be a perennial pro bowler, it’s Travis Hunter. Browns need these players and head coach Kevin Stefanski will find a way to use him on both sides of the ball. Welcome to Cleveland, Heisman winner.

3. New York Giants: Edge Abdul Carter

Giants have solidified their quarterback room at least for next season, giving General Manager Joe Schoen Room to moving forward from preparing a quarterback with the third overall choice. Penn State Edge Rusher Abdul Carter is the next best choice to strengthen their defensive front.

4. New England Patriots: OT WILL CAMPBELL

Drake Maye showed some positive signs last season. Protection of Maye in year 2 gives the Patriots the best chance of seeing their young quarterback reach its full potential.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: RB ASHTON JEANTY

With Liam Coen, who is now running the show in Jacksonville, the former Buccane’s offensive coordinator will seem to add some firepower with the total election # 5 in the draft. There may not be a player who will add more immediate firepower and juice to an offense than Ashton Jeanty. The Boise State star, who runs back, gives Coen and Quarterback Trevor Lawrence a running back they can trust.

6. las Vegas Raiders: DT Mason Graham

This is Prime Shedeur Sanders territory, but based on the latest reports it suddenly seems to be a range. So we will give Raiders the best available talent and Maxx Crosby’s partner.

7. New York Jets: Te Tyler Warren

When was the last time Jets had a real playmaker at the tight end? Tyler Warren could end up being the guy with No. 7 choice. New York is not exactly deep on the position and he could end up being a game-changing goal for quarterback Justin Fields.

8. Carolina Panthers: CB Will Johnson

Carolina can end a strong secondary by connecting Will Johnson to play opposite the Jaycee Horn. Outside of Travis Hunter, Johnson is considered the top cornerback view of this year’s draft.

9. New Orleans Saints: QB Shhedeur Sanders

He might have gone past Giants and Raiders, but the saints, a team that could definitely use a quarterback now and in the future, don’t let him get out of the top 10. Sanders’ accuracy, encryption and decision making could be put to the test immediately with Derek Carr dealing with a shoulder injury that has the ability to beat him out throughout the season. Thus, the door is very open to Sanders to start immediately in Big Easy.

10. Chicago Bears: Edge Mykel Williams

Georgia Defensive Lineman Mykel Williams will be Bears’ first defensive player to be selected in the first round since 2018 and for good reason. Williams’ explosive properties make him the perfect weapon in Dennis Allen’s defense.

11. San Francisco 49ers: Ot Kelvin Banks Jr.

Trent Williams will not be any younger. While the left tackle space is likely to fit the banks better, the 49s could connect him on the right side from day 1 and eventually move him to the left, each time Williams decides to walk away.

12. Dallas Cowboys: and Tyler Booker

All-Pro-Wagnged and Staples on the offensive line Zack Martin withdrew this season, leaving a gaping hole on cowboy’s offensive line. With the selection of Booker, he can step in and replace Martin and have an immediate influence on cowboys. While adding a rookie -wide receiver to have with Ceedee Lamb was tempting and the flasher choice, the hole Martin left was simply to ignore with booker available.

13. Miami Dolphins: Edge Jalon Walker

This is not necessarily a team need, but this is the top-10, even top-5, talent that falls right in their lap. The wrongdoing hardly needs help, so it’s time to go with points prevention.

14. Indianapolis Colts: Edge Shemar Stewart

The Colts need a game-wrecker in defense. Shaquille Leonard’s days are over, and having a edgerusher in the linebacker position would help a lot. This is where Shemar Stewart comes in. Edge Rusher flew up draft boards in the weeks before the draft. He may end up being a steal at No. 14.

15. Atlanta Falcons: WR Matthew Golden

Falcons have slowly built an ensemble of the top offensive players in the last few years, and Matthew Golden could be the last piece that puts the device over the top.

16. Arizona Cardinals: Edge Mike Green

The Cardinals desperately need some pass rush for head coach Jonathan Gannon, a defensive mind, to work with. They did this by adding Josh Sweat in free agency and they don’t stop here after a few of their options go earlier in this draft. Green is a versatile player out of Marshall and Gannon could use his speed and power to disturb his pocket.

17. Cincinnati Bengals: DT Kenneth Grant

The Bengals took care of their violation during the high season and will use the draft to tackle their defense: Michigan Big Man Kenneth Grant is the best choice on No. 17. His size and athletics guarantee consistent pressure in the back field.

18. Seattle Seahawks: S Malaki Starks

The days “Legion of Boom” can be long away, but Starks is a strong view and can be a building block as the Seahawks continue to reload their secondary.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: WR Tetairoa McMillan

At first glance, the addition of McMillan to a wide recipient room that already has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan can act as Overkill. But with Godwin coming out of a season -ending displaced ankle injury, and Evans is 31 years old, this is a feature that ensures the future of the wide receiver room in good hands.

20. Denver Broncos: RB Omarion Hampton

We see what Bo Nix can do and Denver has been missing an explosive running game for quite a long time. We get them TAK HEEL.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Jaxson Dart

Steelers will have to find out his quarterback situation when the weekend is over. Let’s start at No. 21 with Jaxson Dart. Apart from a trade, Dart seems reasonable at this moment in the draft.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Te Colton Loveland

Jim Harbaugh smiles ear to ear after landing his former Michigan Wolverine’s tight end, a position that Justin Herbert desperately needs an upgrade at. Loveland is arguably the best passport prisoner tight end in this class, and Harbaugh, of course, also knows what he can do in the blocking game. A reunion to help a potential playoffs.

23. Green Bay Packers: WR EMEKA EGBUKA

Packers do not often take broad recipients in the first round, but with a chance to help Jordan love to reach the next level, Egbuka would be a strong addition to spreading the violation and giving love another solid opportunity.

24. Minnesota Vikings: Ol Gray Zabel

After giving up nine sacks in the playoffs, the Vikings will call on North Dakota State Offensive Lineman Gray Zabel to increase their O-line. With the high season addition of Ryan Kelly and Will Fries, Zabel will fit well into the left guard.

25. Houston Texans: WR Luther Burden III

Burden’s raw talent is undeniable, but he was deployed in a very specific way on Missouri. Although it is unclear whether his skill kit will translate into the NFL, Texan’s wide receiver room could take advantage of some depth.

26. Los Angeles Rams: Walter Nolen DT

Rams would be absolutely enthusiastic if the nool fell to them on No. 26 overall. The addition of the needle to a defensive line of Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner and 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year winner Jared -Vers would give them a young defensive front that would terrorize conflicting offensive linemen in the years to come. However, if Colston Loveland falls to No. 26, Rams can run to the podium to get the election.

27. Baltimore Ravens: Edge James Pearce Jr.

The Tennessee star adds a defense that could use something more Pasrush. The ravens have it all on violation, so strengthened by the other side of the ball is a must in this draft.

28. Detroit Lions: OT Ahmad Membou

There are not many reasons why Membou should fall so much. Detroit gets a gift here and it is a great selection for an already stout violation.

29. Washington Commanders: LB Jihaad Campbell

The richer could very well get richer. Washington has a great opportunity to add depth to his linebacker corps with the selection of Jihaad Campbell. He may not fall so far down, but if he does, it will be a blessing to the commanders or some other team that needs an elite defender.

30. Buffalo Bills: DB Jahdae Barron

Barron played some of the best cover in college football last season and showed pro-ready instincts. Even if he is not the fastest player available at this time, Buffalo should be able to get the most out of him as a late first round stealing.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: OT Donovan Jackson

Ohio State Lineman Donovan Jackson decided to stay around Columbus for another year, giving him a national championship and much more credibility as a draft view. If he is still on the board with the 31st election, Chiefs will appear to increase their offensive line with a versatile and powerful guard like Jackson.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Te Mason Taylor

Dallas Goedert had a solid season 2024, but he turned 30 years earlier in the year. Taylor could inject some explosiveness into the Eagles tight end room. General Manager Howie Roseman gets another SEC player.
