There is a little over one month remaining until the 2025 NFL Draft, and each NFL team currently reserves rights to their own first-round selection. A year ago, there were 10 first-round picks impacted by trades.

Prior to the trade for Geno Smith, many expected the Las Vegas Raiders to target Colorado's Shedeur Sanders or Miami's Cam Ward with their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Smith trade signals that the team may be looking to compete in the short term which means they could target an instant impact player instead.
