The NFL Draft is less than four months from now. The NFL playoffs are here. The College Football Playoff is already about wrapped up. So, what does that mean? It's time to look ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft as the next class of top prospects is nearly all officially declared and headed to the pros.

The Tennessee Titans have the first overall pick for the first time since 1978. The franchise got it right back then, selecting Earl Campbell. This time around, there will be no running back going first overall.

Speaking of having a man—the Patriots, and whoever will be coaching them, need to build around last year’s third overall pick Drake Maye. So, this pick could send the 22-year-old some much-needed protection or a much-needed go-to target.
