The first day of the 2025 NFL draft began as expected, with Miami quarterback Cam Ward selected first by Tennessee.

The first day of the 2025 NFL draft began as expected, with Miami quarterback Cam Ward selected first by Tennessee.

Before Ward could even walk across the draft stage in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to shake NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's hand, however, the draft veered quickly into unexpected territory.

Cleveland traded out of the second pick and Jacksonville moved up. Hours later, the Giants and Falcons made their trades to grab late-round picks. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders slid out of the first round. It created a night of drama with two days and six rounds still to go before the draft ends.

NBC News analyzes the first night's action and what it means moving forward.

Kamisar: Howie Roseman did it again. The Eagles executive vice president and general manager is known for his proclivity to move up and down the board, and on Thursday, he walks away with a gem in Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell (and only needed to slide up one spot to do it).
