### 2025 NFL Draft: Key Highlights and What to Expect

The 2025 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and here’s what football fans need to know:

#### Draft Location and Schedule
This year’s draft will take place from April 24 to 26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, marking the first time Lambeau Field and Titletown will host the event. The festivities begin on Wednesday, April 23, with the Prospect Clinic on the Play Football Field, where local youth and Special Olympics athletes will interact with draft prospects and NFL coaches[5].

#### Media and Fan Events
On Thursday, April 24, prospects will walk the NFL Draft Red Carpet presented by Toyota, with live coverage on the NFL Network. The evening will include a performance by a Wisconsin-based youth choir, the National Anthem by Stephen Wilson Jr., and a flyover by the Wisconsin Army National Guard. Packers Legends and current players will join Commissioner Roger Goodell to kick off the night[5].

#### Draft Day Activities
Friday, April 25, will feature fan-centric experiences, including 32 NFL Legends and players from the 2000 Draft Class announcing selections to commemorate the 25th anniversary. The night will also highlight Wisconsin football legends like Jordy Nelson, Joe Thomas, and Jonathan Taylor. The event will culminate in a drone show lighting up the Green Bay sky after the third round[5].

#### Potential Draft Moves and Team Strategies
Several teams are expected to make significant moves in the draft. The Kansas City Chiefs might trade out of the first round to acquire more picks later, a strategy consistent with General Manager Brett Veach's aggressive approach[1].

The Jacksonville Jaguars, under new GM James Gladstone, are likely to focus on building through the trenches, given Gladstone's experience with the Rams. They may target premium positions like edge rushers and defensive linemen[3].

The San Francisco 49ers, with aging depth and uncertainty opposite Nick Bosa, might return to their trend of investing in defensive linemen in the early rounds. They typically look for players who are long, explosive, and scheme-versatile[3].

The Miami Dolphins, under GM Chris Grier, tend to select players at premium positions such as quarterback, wide receiver, offensive tackle, edge rusher, and defensive tackle. Health and speed concerns may influence their picks[3].

#### Mock Draft Insights
In the latest mock draft by Mike Band, the New Orleans Saints are predicted to select quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The Cleveland Browns might make a move for a quarterback as well. The Green Bay Packers are expected to add to their wide receiver corps[3].

### Conclusion
The 2025 NFL Draft promises to be an exciting event, filled with local culture, fan-centric activities, and strategic team moves. With the draft just days away, fans can anticipate a blend of tradition, innovation, and high-energy celebrations in Green Bay.
