NFL Draft 2025 Shocker – Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and a Whole Lot of Chaos in Round 1
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and wow—it did NOT disappoint. If you were expecting safe picks and smooth sailing, you clearly forgot that this is the NFL’s biggest night of offseason drama.
From Cam Ward shocking everyone as the No. 1 overall pick to Travis Hunter making two-way history, and Shedeur Sanders still waiting for his name to be called, this year’s draft was filled with wild trades, sideline stories, jaw-dropping outfits, and a little baby vomit for good measure.
Cam Ward Heads to the Titans at No. 1 – Nashville’s New Hope
Tennessee Titans fans rejoice—you’ve got your quarterback!
In a bold move, the Titans took Cam Ward No. 1 overall. The former Miami Hurricane star threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns last season and is now set to become the face of the franchise in Nashville.
And don’t worry, Titans fans—Ward is ready for the country life.
“Morgan Wallen is my guy. He cool,” Ward joked after being drafted.
Let the boot-stomping begin.
Travis Hunter to Jaguars – Two-Way Superstar Makes History
The Jaguars made the biggest leap of the night, trading up to grab Travis Hunter at No. 2, and in doing so, they snagged one of the most electric players in football.
- First player in modern history projected to play both WR and CB full-time.
- Highest-drafted cornerback EVER.
- Heisman Trophy winner.
- And maybe, just maybe, the next Deion Sanders (his college coach, by the way).
Hunter lit up the stage with emotion and thanked his dad for being there. Oh, and he’s already excited to face Patrick Surtain II when Jacksonville heads to Denver this season.
“I always had a small belief,” Hunter said. “Now it’s real.”
Giants Go Big – Carter & Dart Join the Big Blue Revival
New York Giants fans got more than they bargained for. Not only did Big Blue land edge-rushing monster Abdul Carter at No. 3, but they also traded up later in the first round to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart—passing on Shedeur Sanders.
Carter drew comparisons to Micah Parsons and finished last season with 12 sacks and 68 tackles. Meanwhile, Dart enters a busy QB room with Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson.
“He’s unfazed,” Giants coach Brian Daboll said about Carter. “Exactly what we need.”
Shedeur Sanders Snubbed – The Draft’s Biggest Surprise
Despite all the hype, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders is still waiting.
Not one of the 32 teams picked him in Round 1, and with only a handful of teams needing quarterbacks, Sanders’ future remains one of the biggest stories heading into Day 2.
Will the Steelers make the move at No. 33? Or will another team trade up? Either way, this is the drama everyone’s watching.

“My grandma always said one of us would make it,” Golden said, wiping away tears.
Now THAT is a draft day moment.
