Draft day.
Post-It notes and wild trade negotiations dominated the famous movie, but chaos hasn't been on the menu in the 2025 NFL Draft to this point.
Like a good student, the Tennessee Titans are the line leaders in 2025, kicking off the draft with the first pick and seem to have their homework done early. Expectations are that they'll draft Miami's Cam Ward at No. 1 to get things going.
They certainly earned that selection after a miserable 3-14 season. The franchise has continued to trend downwards in each of the last three seasons. Considering they can't go much lower, Tennessee will hope a strong draft can help them improve in 2025.
Adding a layer of intrigue to the opening round, every team owns their pick this year. Trades can certainly shake the board up on draft night, but it's a clean slate heading into the festivities.
The order is set and anything can happen. Here's a look at the draft order for the first round.
