NFL Teams Make Bold Draft and Roster Moves

The 2025 NFL Draft saw the Cleveland Browns trade down to select Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham, drawing both comparisons to J.J. Watt and criticism for passing on Travis Hunter, before surprising many by picking quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. The New York Giants declined the fifth-year option on right tackle Evan Neal and will try him at right guard in hopes of improving his performance. The Jacksonville Jaguars aggressively supplemented their roster by signing 22 undrafted free agents, including standout quarterback Seth Henigan and defensive linemen Eli Mostaert and Downs. The Baltimore Ravens are projected to see significant immediate impact from second-round edge rusher Mike Green. These moves reflect teams’ efforts to balance bold draft strategies with developmental signings to address roster needs. The draft outcomes highlight a mix of risk-taking and attempts to reshape long-term team prospects.
