Dan Hanzus, Marc Sessler and Conor Orr are joined by James Palmer to recap every pick from the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft! We start with the biggest headlines, including the blockbuster trade when Jacksonville moved up to number two to select WR/CB Travis Hunter (0:52). Then, we discuss the quarterback class, why QB Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round (12:27), and the Giants trading up for QB Jaxson Dart (15:37). From there, we move through the draft, hitting on the Raiders taking RB Ashton Jeanty (20:21), the Panthers choosing WR Tet McMillan (27:00), and then roll through picks 10 through 20 (30:50). After that, we cover the Steelers passing on Sanders and other quarterback options (39:37), picks 22-25 (49:15), the Falcons making a massive trade back into the first round for EDGE James Pearce Jr. (56:36), and close out the first round (1:02:33). To cap it off, we review Mock Sessler's Marc Draft (1:09:42) and find out whether or not Justin successfully dunked (1:13:33). 0:00 NFL Draft Round 1 Recap 0:52 Jaguars and Browns make huge trade 12:27 QB Shedeur Sanders falls out of first round 15:37 Giants trade up to select QB Jaxson Dart 20:21 Raiders take RB Ashton Jeanty 27:00 Panthers take WR Tet McMillan 30:50 Picks 10-20 39:37 Steelers pass on Shedeur Sanders 49:15 Picks 22-25 56:36 Falcons trade up for EDGE James Pearce Jr. 1:02:33 Picks 27-32 1:09:42 Checking in on Marc’s Mock Draft 1:13:33 Did Justin dunk? 1:19:45 Wrap Up --------- Try VIIA! https://viia.co/HTC and use code 'HTC' for 15% off! --------- Support the Heed the Call Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/heedthecall Start playing today on Underdog Fantasy!
