2025 NFL mock draft: Live picks, predictions from across the USA TODAY Network

[ASFN Admin]

With the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Tennessean selects....

Come Thursday, April 24, the Tennessee Titans will make a selection that will alter the direction of their franchise for the foreseeable future. While the Titans are expected to make Cam Ward the No. 1 overall pick, the next 31 picks are less certain.

Countless mock drafts, rumors, pre-draft meetings and smokescreens have produced a seemingly infinite amount of possibilities for this year's first round. The landing spots of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, pass-rushing phenom Abdul Carter and other top-end NFL draft prospects are certainly murky. Few know where these players will land until the cards are turned in.

To that end, there are fewer in tune with what all 32 NFL teams need than those who cover those teams.

At 2 p.m. ET on April 16, Beat writers and NFL experts from across USA TODAY Sports and the USA TODAY Network join forces to deliver a live mock draft below. Each selection has an allotted time of 3 minutes, and each pick will come complete with expert analysis.

Tennessean, you are on the clock.
