2025 NFL Draft picks by team: Full list of all 257 picks, plus every selection for each of the 32 franchises

The 2025 NFL Draft is officially over, with 257 players hearing their names called during the three-day event held in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Believe it or not, every NFL team owned its first-round pick heading into draft night, and it's the first time since the league expanded to 32 teams this has occurred. However, that was not the case by the end of Round 1.

The Tennessee Titans drafted quarterback Cam Ward at No. 1 overall as expected but then things got crazy. The Jacksonville Jaguars made a blockbuster trade to grab wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter with the second pick, while the Cleveland Browns, who moved back to fifth, gained additional draft capital before selecting defensive tackle Mason Graham . Several other trades transpired before the night was over, the most notable being the New York Giants moving back into Round 1 for quarterback Jaxson Dart .

Rounds 2 and 3 brought even more chaos , with the biggest storyline being about the player who didn't get selected. Shedeur Sanders, seen as a top quarterback prospect before the draft, still did not hear his name called after 102 picks . While he waited, three other signal-callers went off the board, as the Saints took Tyler Shough in Round 2 (No. 40 overall), the Seahawks added Jalen Milroe in Round 3 (No. 92) and the Browns landed Dillon Gabriel two picks later.

Sanders remained available through the fourth round, but toward the beginning of Round 5 (No. 144 overall pick), he finally came off the board to the Browns , who despite taking already Gabriel traded up 22 spots to end one of the most memorable falls in NFL Draft history. The next quarterbacks selected came in the sixth round, as the Eagles chose Syracuse's Kyle McCord at No. 181 and the Steelers snagged Ohio State's Will Howard at No. 185. Quinn Ewers, meanwhile, is now a Dolphin after being taken in Round 7 (No. 231).

1. Mr. Irrelevant was Kobee Minor CB - Memphis. New England

#257


Green Bay, Wisconsin: Mr. Irrelevant.

The New England Patriots gave the title and honor to Memphis cornerback Kobee Minor with the No. 257 overall pick of the seventh round in the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday.

Minor spent the first three years of his college career at Texas Tech before transferring to Indiana in 2023. He then transferred to Memphis in 2024, appearing in 11 games and registering 38 tackles, according to his player bio. He also had seven tackles for loss, two sacks, six passes defensed and two forced fumbles.

Noted by the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, Minor will now head to Newport Beach, California for a week-long trip where he will pay a visit to Disneyland, play in a golf tournament, be the subject of a roast and be presented with the Lowsman Trophy, which is modeled after the Heisman Trophy, but features a player fumbling the ball.

2. I was ready to grade the Cleveland Browns with an A for this draft.

But then they drafted two quarterbacks in one draft, which makes no sense to me. Aside from that, they did well: they picked up an extra #1 next year, and given that they traded with Jacksonville, I expect that will be in the first half of the first round (if not a top ten); and they also got arguably the best defensive player in the draft in Mason Graham. The Browns have little offense but their defense will keep them in a lot of games.

My Bears, well... they started addressing the offensive line needs this offseason, which is good, but they didn't finish. Which is frustrating. I expect it will be at least one more year before their roster is good enough to contend, which is disappointing. Colston Loveland and Luther Burdon III look like good players, but the lack of offensive line depth may limit their ability to contribute. They didn't even draft a safety, and who knows if Jaquan Brisker can play a whole season? Do they really expect a seventh round RB to be a difference maker? Even if they decide to get rid of Ryan Pohls after this next (probably) losing season, hopefully they won't decide to do a complete rebuild.

They other quarterback was Kirk Cousins which worked out for them when RGIII's career was cut short due to the injury he had his rookie year. It did until he was a free agent and went to the Vikings. I think it is OK to draft 2 QBs in case one of them is a bust and it should keep them far away from Aaron Rodgers who I hear waiting on his decision was a major factor as to why teams didn't take Sanders early or other QBs.

otherwise they lose a position player.

Flacco is signed for one year, but Pickett is signed for four with a guarantee of $14 million.

My guess is Watson stays on the IR all year, if that's possible.

The other question: who do you put on the 46 player game day roster? Flacco is the starter and Pickett is the backup, right?

I think Gabriel, who was drafted ahead of Sanders, is screwed.
