During the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s anticipated that a multitude of trades will take place despite the current calm. As history indicates, players frequently get traded in drafts. For instance, the 2022 draft notably featured A.J. Brown’s trade from the Tennessee Titans to the Eagles.
Five Predictions for This Year’s Draft Trades:
-
Kirk Cousins to the Cleveland Browns: The Browns may opt to move for Cousins instead of gambling on a quarterback with their second overall pick, potentially sending a third-round pick to the Falcons.
Trade: Browns receive Kirk Cousins; Falcons receive a third-round pick (94th overall).
-
Jameson Williams to the Las Vegas Raiders: Following cryptic social media hints, it seems the Lions might trade Williams if they choose not to pick up his fifth-year option.
Trade: Raiders get Jameson Williams; Lions get a third-round pick (68th overall).
-
Dallas Goedert to the New York Jets: Goedert’s future with the Eagles may be uncertain, opening the door for the Jets—who currently lack depth at tight end—to make a move.
Trade: Jets receive Dallas Goedert; Eagles receive a fourth-round pick (110th overall).
-
Mark Andrews to the Los Angeles Rams: With the Ravens indicating an openness to trading Andrews, the Rams could offer multiple picks in exchange for the talented tight end.
Trade: Rams receive Mark Andrews; Ravens receive a fourth-round pick (127th overall) and a sixth-round pick (202nd overall).
-
Jalen Ramsey to the San Francisco 49ers: Ramsey’s trade seems likely with the Dolphins actively exploring options, and the 49ers have substantial cap space to take him on.
Trade: 49ers receive Jalen Ramsey; Dolphins receive a third-round pick (100th overall) and a seventh-round pick (227th overall).
If the 49ers are serious about contending for a Super Bowl, acquiring Ramsey may prove essential.
