Packers team president Mark Murphy announced the team’s first-round pick. He began by saying, “For the first time since 2022,” sending the green-and-gold-clad crowd into a frenzy. Murphy didn’t even need to finish his sentence as hard-core Packers fans knew what that meant. Texas’ Matthew Golden, the 23rd overall pick,

Entering round one, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was the biggest wild card in the draft. Exiting round one, he still is. Sanders slipped out of the first round, and it’s not clear where he’ll land. The Browns hold the 33rd and 36th overall picks. The latter came from the trade

For most of April, it seemed like the Browns were going to select Colorado’s Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. But then Cleveland and Jacksonville delivered the surprise of the first round, as the Browns moved back to No. 5 and picked up a 2026 first-round pick as part of

The Giants have bolstered their pass rush by taking Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The pick had been widely expected for weeks, and is viewed as a safe pick, as some consider Carter the best player in this draft

During a pre-draft appearance on ESPN, receiver Tetairoa McMillan clarified that his preferred name isn’t “Tet” but “T-Mac.” Which is much better than “T-Bone.” Later tonight, he’ll be tied to an NFL team. Which one will it be? Watch the Cowboys. They desperately need another offensive playmaker, either at running

On Thursday, Hall of Fame tight end and media personality Shannon Sharpe announced that he’ll be stepping aside from ESPN until the start of the NFL preseason. As it turns out, ESPN was ready to push him to the sideline, if he hadn’t voluntarily walked away. Dominic Patten of Deadline.com

The NFL’s primary offseason tentpole happens tonight. And the tent could get a boost from one key fact. As noted by Richard Deitsch of TheAthletic.com, the fact that all 32 teams have a first-round pick will likely enhance the total audience. It makes sense. If a given team isn’t picking,

The guy who does our mock draft has the Steelers taking Michigan tight end Colson Loveland at No. 21. That’s not going to happen. Because they likely won’t have the chance to get him. Teams are divided, we’re told, on whether Penn State’s Tyler Warren or Loveland is the top

Earlier this week, running back Ashton Jeanty told #PFTPM that his window opens at No. 6 to the Raiders and closes at No. 12 to the Cowboys. He may have been wrong. Not when assessing his floor, but when assessing his ceiling. He has become the betting favorite to go

The Steelers need a quarterback. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders needs a team that wants him. The current depth chart in Pittsburgh cries out for a quarterback. They’ve been waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Tonight, they could decide to take Sanders. (If they do, they could still roll with Rodgers for a season.)

Given that we know the identity of the first pick in the draft, it’s not as pressing as it otherwise would be to tune in early to the opening night of the NFL draft. Here’s a reason to not be late. Stephen Wilson Jr. will be performing the national anthem

Weeks of suspense about what the Browns will do with the second overall pick of the draft comes to an end on Thursday night. The team could still trade that pick away, but if they keep it the expectation is that they will use it on Heisman Trophy winner Travis

Running back would seem to be just about the last position the Ravens would need to fill during the 2025 NFL draft, but if there’s a player available they like, they won’t hesitate to take one. That’s the word from Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta, who isn’t ruling out taking

A consensus is building that the Broncos will draft North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton with the 20th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Hampton is the Broncos’ pick in PFT’s mock draft and is the favorite to go to the Broncos at sports books. The Broncos are -110

In their first season under head coach Dave Canales, the Panthers went 5-12 as the struggles continued in Carolina. QB Bryce Young, who Carolina selected with the 1st overall pick in 2023, was benched early in the season in favor of Andy Dalton. Young regained the starting job and showed

The Saints had two first-round picks in 2022 and they’ve made different decisions about the fifth-year options on their contracts.

The Saints finished 5-12 last season, their worst year since going 3-13 in 2005. New Orleans hired former Eagles OC Kellen Moore as the new head coach for 2025. The Saints have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and now have the youngest head coach in

The Rams won the NFC West last season, beating the Vikings in the Wild Card before losing at Philadelphia by six points in the Divisional Round. There were reports that QB Matthew Stafford could potentially leave Los Angeles, but he agreed to a restructured contract in February. While the Rams
