Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books - and what a day it was.
A whirlwind start
After the Tennessee Titans selected QB Cam Ward with the first pick, things got a little wild. The Cleveland Browns traded the No. 2 selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who originally held the fifth overall selection. The Jags then took, to no surprise, DB/WR Travis Hunter. Now with the No. 5 pick, the Browns selected DT Mason Graham.
Later in the round, the New York Giants, who had selected at No. 3, traded back in and drafted QB Jaxson Dart with the Houston Texans' No. 25 pick. Dart was the second quarterback taken in the draft. In exchange, the Giants traded away their 2025 first-round pick (No. 34), 2025 third-round pick (No. 99) and a 2026 third-round pick.
Jeanty is a Raider
As many mock drafts projected, the Raiders selected Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick. Jeanty is just the third running back taken in top 10 in the common draft era, joining Darren McFadden (fourth overall in 2008) and Marcus Allen (10th overall in 1982).
Jeanty left Boise State as the program's leader in career rushing yards (4,769), yards per carry (6.36) and yards per game (119.2). He has become the highest-drafted Boise State player.
"There's a lot of history in the Raiders building," Jeanty said. "A lot of amazing players that went through there, a lot of winning and championships. So, I'm excited to go over there and be a part of that."
