Thanksgiving week is upon us in the NFL. As the calendar nears December, fans and teams have a solid understanding of where their season is heading. Some franchises are sure-fire postseason contenders, others are in the hunt, and another group has their focus mostly on the offseason.
For that last group, one of the more exciting aspects of the offseason every year is the NFL draft. Over three days every year, the next crop of college football standouts make their way to the professional league and provide another group of potential stars.
The 2024 NFL draft spoiled a lot of fans with a quarterback-heavy first round, four of which are seeing significant playing time, as well as early standouts at wide receiver and offensive line. The 2025 class may not meet that standard but there are plenty of intriguing prospects.
Here’s a look at what NFL draft experts at USA TODAY Sports, Pro Football Focus, 33rd Team, and CBS Sports are predicting for the first round.
