This might not make a lot of the top college prospects excited about the 2025 NFL draft.
The Tennessee Titans lost to the Houston Texans on Sunday. That combined with the New England Patriots win over the Buffalo Bills — yes, the Patriots beat the Bills’ reserves – put the Titans in the No. 1 spot for the 2025 NFL draft.
They have the same record as the Cleveland Browns at 3-14 but everything else falls the way of the Titans when it comes to strength of schedule so Tennessee will be on the clock first in Green Bay.

Congratulations to the Titans and not sure what to say to Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders and other top prospects.
The Browns sit second and the Giants third.
The last time the Titans held the first pick was back in 2016. They ended up trading it to the Rams — who selected Jared Goff — in a major swap of draft selections, one of which ended up being spent on Derrick Henry.
The Titans have not picked first overall since the franchise moved to Tennessee, although their predecessors, the Houston Oilers, selected DE John Matuszak (1973) and RB Earl Campbell (1978) in the top overall slot. The highest the Titans have picked was second overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, when they selected QB Marcus Mariota.
