The 2025 NFL draft was held at Lambeau Field and Titletown District in Green Bay, Wisconsin, April 24–26. The event was free, but attendees were required to download the NFL OnePass app which included all of the event information, served as a ticket through the venue and allowed fans to participate in on-site fan engagement moments such as team roll calls, t-shirt tosses, live fan cams, trivia and more. The App also allowed fans to check their picks in real time.
The top pick in the first round went to the Tennessee Titans, who picked Miami quarterback Cam Ward. The Titans needed a backup QB behind Marcus Mariota, and Ward could be ready to play right away.
On day two, the Chicago Bears took Michigan tight end Matt Loveland. The Bears use a lot of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 WR, 2 TE) and lost their top pass-catching tight end in free agency. Loveland gives them a big-bodied, physical threat in the middle of the field.
In the third round, the Atlanta Falcons took Georgia linebacker Isaiah Walker. The Falcons have several holes on defense and Walker can fill multiple positions. He was a key contributor in the backfield last season and has the speed to cover deep passes. The league awarded three compensatory picks in the third round, per Resolution JC-2A, which rewards teams that lose minority candidates for head coach and general manager positions. The picks are awarded based on a proprietary formula that takes into account salary, playing time and postseason honors.
