The first round of the NFL Draft could be one of the most chaotic in history.
The picks got underway on Thursday night in Green Bay with an obvious No. 1. Cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans was about the only sure thing. Everything after that was obscured by uncertainty, in part because the possibility of pick swaps loomed.
Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports suggested there could be as many as double-digit trades on Thursday night alone.

NFL Draft 2025 Trade Tracker
This article will be updated as more draft trades appear.
Falcons trade up for a pass rusher
The Falcons needed help on defense and they've found it in the first round, twice. They traded with the Rams to move back into the first to get James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee. The catch? They gave up a first to do it???
Falcons receive:
- 2025 1st round pick (26th overall)
- 2025 3rd round pick
Rams received:
- 2025 2nd round pick
- 2025 7th round pick
- 2026 1st round pick
Who won the trade? The Rams. By a lot. Picking up a 2026 first rounder is absurd value in this context.
Giants trade back into the first round
The Giants jumped back into the first round to pick a quarterback, but not Shedeur Sanders. New York tabbed Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss as their quarterback of the future.
Giants receive:
- 2025 1st round pick (25th overall)
Texans receive:
- 2025 2nd round pick (34th overall)
- 2025 4th round pick (99th overall)
- 2026 3rd round pick
Who won the trade? Shedeur Sanders definitely lost it. As for the two teams involved, I like Dart a lot, so this feels like a win for the Giants. The Texans continue to stockpile picks. Time will tell what they do with them.
Browns trade No. 2 to Jaguars
In a true draft shocker, the Browns gave the Jaguars the chance to move up to the No. 2 spot in the draft, presumably to draft Travis Hunter.
Browns receive:
- 2025 1st round pick (5th overall)
- 2025 2nd round pick (36th overall)
- 2025 4th round pick (126th overall)
- 2026 1st round pick
Jaguars receive:
- 2025 1st round pick (2nd overall)
- 2025 4th round pick (104th overall)
- 2025 6th round pick (200th overall)
Who won the trade? On Thursday night, it was the Jaguars getting a potentially generational player. But next year, the Browns may have the last laugh, improving their chances to land a star quarterback in a stronger draft class.
Browns and Texans trade late rounders
The first trade of the day was a bit of a head scratcher between the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns. It involved a slew of fifth, sixth and seventh round picks.
Browns receive:
- 2025 5th round pick (166th overall)
- 2027 5th round pick
Texans receive:
- 2025 6th round pick (179th overall)
- 2025 6th round pick (216th overall)
- 2025 7th round pick (255th overall)
Who won the trade? With assets that far back in the draft, this one is a push. If one of those teams flips those into a first round move, this assessment could change.
