Tyler Baron, EDGE | New York Jets
Grade: B- - Round 6, Pick 182
Andres Borregales, K | New England Patriots
Grade: C- - Round 7, Pick 223
Damien Martinez, RB | Seattle Seahawks
Grade: A+
Cam Ward NFL Draft Grade
- Round 1, Pick 1
Cam Ward, QB | Tennessee Titans
Grade: A
The Titans needed a quarterback. They got the best one in the 2025 NFL Draft with Miami’s Cam Ward. Heading into Year 2, Brian Callahan needed to get “his guy”, and Ward is a worthwhile investment with his high-end creative tools and gunslinger skill set.
There’s still room for Ward to keep growing, but his rare mix of pocket mobility, change-of-direction, arm elasticity, layering ability, and fearlessness gives him unique roster elevation upside that no other 2025 QB can match.
With their prospective franchise QB now in tow, the Titans should turn their focus to attacking lingering deficiencies on defense and bolstering Ward’s weapons core. With the right support, Ward can hit the ground running as a starter and potentially grow into a top-12 QB.
Elijah Arroyo NFL Draft Grade
- Round 2, Pick 50
Elijah Arroyo, TE | Seattle Seahawks
Grade: B+
The Seahawks committed to Sam Darnold in free agency and are now committed to equipping him with the weapons he needs to succeed. In Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Seahawks selected Elijah Arroyo out of Miami, inserting a vertical threat into Klint Kubiak’s offense.
Arroyo is a smooth, dynamic long-striding athlete with great seam-busting ability and body control at the catch, but he also has the fluidity and short-area quickness for his size to supplement a more diverse route tree and stem work working vertical. He can still improve his consistency as a blocker, but he’s a great fit for a QB in Darnold who likes to push the envelope and seek out big plays.
