The draft of the NFL 2025 should start in just over 24 hours in Green Bay and promises to be unpredictable. This year’s class is deep, but short of stars not to be missed, so teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 5), Carolina Panthers (N ° 8), 49ers of San Francisco (N ° 11), Falcons of Atlanta (No. 15), Seattle Seahawks (N ° 18), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (N ° 19), Pittsburgh Steelers (n ° 21), and Vikings du Minnesota (N ° 24) may be impatient to trade and trample on choices.
Here is why these teams could drive and treat:

The jaguars at n ° 5 are in a difficult place after a season of 3-14. They need help everywhere, o-line, edge, secondary. The exchange could win a second round choice for them and always let them seize Tyler Booker from Alabama. More choices mean more shots to repair a trembling list.
Panthers (n ° 8) finally see the potential of Bryce Young, but their defense was a tire fire in 2024, the last death under authorized yards. Slide, a few places could make additional choices to spread the rusher on board or the cornerback while leaving a gourmet team gap by QB for Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart, who has climbed the table of interest during the last 48 hours.
The 49ers (n ° 11) are loaded with 11 choices, but have lost a fifth round on a payroll. With Trent Williams aging and the on -board rushers, the trade is logical. They could always choose Mike Green from Marshall or Shemar Stewart from Marshall and add the player of day 2 for the depth.
The Falcons (n ° 15) have only five choices and a passing race which was barely presented (31 bags in 2024). The backtrack could involve them a second round to continue Nic Scourton of Texas A & M or Ole ‘Miss’ Principily Umanmelen, in the hope of a qualifying series for 2025.

The Seahawks (n ° 18) saw Geno Smith being beaten (50 bags) last year. Their line O is less to desire and exchange DK Metcalf left gaps. The withdrawal could let them write the North Dakota Zabel Gray or Tyler Booker from Alabama and collect additional selections for EDGE or Receiver aid.
The Buccaneers (n ° 19) are equitably seated with a solid team but no flagrant holes except in their secondary. The exchange could mark a second round choice, allowing them to target Denzel Burke from Ohio State to corner or a pass rusher with little concern with the two positions having many options in the 2nd and 3rd laps.
The Steelers (n ° 21) need a quarter, but with only two choices in the top 122, they are hungry for Draft Capital. If Sanders is out of the tray, they can slide back, targeting OLE MISS“Jalen Milroe de Jaxson or Alabama, and take a ball carrier or a line player with the additional choice.
The Vikings (n ° 24) are the child of the poster to exchange. GM Kwesi Adofof-Mensah likes to make offers, and with only four choices, they will probably fall into stock in the middle of the wheel. Benjamin Morris could be the choice of secondary school.

This project is not a jackpot for elite talents, so these teams play intelligently, and readjust to take care of beginners and depth. Expect the phones to buzz in Green Bay.
