NFL Draft 2025 at Lambeau Field: Titans Likely to Select Cam Ward, Reshape Team Landscape

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, several key developments and events are capturing the attention of football fans.

### Draft Details and Schedule
The 2025 NFL Draft is set to take place from April 24 to 26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, marking the first time this iconic venue will host the event. The draft will feature a range of activities, including a Prospect Clinic on April 23, where local youth football players and Special Olympics athletes will participate in football skills and drills with NFL Draft prospects and USA Football coaches[3].

On Draft Day 1, prospects will walk the NFL Draft Red Carpet, and the evening will include a performance by a Wisconsin-based youth choir, the National Anthem by singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr., and a flyover by the Wisconsin Army National Guard. The second day will feature NFL Legends and players from the 2000 Draft Class announcing selections, and a drone show will conclude the third round[3].

### Team Needs and Mock Drafts
The Tennessee Titans hold the first overall pick and are widely expected to select quarterback Cam Ward from Miami, addressing their need for a franchise passer[4][5].

The Cleveland Browns, with the second pick, are likely to choose quarterback Shedeur Sanders from Colorado, given Deshaun Watson's injury and the need for a new starter[4][5].

The New York Giants, picking third, may select Travis Hunter, a versatile cornerback and wide receiver from Colorado, to bolster their secondary and receiving corps[4].

Other notable picks include the Houston Texans targeting offensive tackle Josh Simmons from Ohio State to protect quarterback C.J. Stroud, and the Los Angeles Rams looking to cornerback Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky to improve their pass defense[5].

### Pre-Draft Visits
Teams are finalizing their draft boards by scheduling visits with prospects. Each of the 32 teams can invite up to 30 players for these visits, which are crucial for assessing both on-field abilities and off-field character. These meetings help teams and players get to know each other better before the draft[1].

### NFL Revenue and Popularity
The NFL continues to be a financial powerhouse, with record-breaking earnings. In 2022, the league generated about $18 billion, primarily from media deals worth over $110 billion with networks like CBS, NBC, FOX, and ESPN. The legal sports betting industry, which saw a 30% increase in wagers compared to the previous year, also significantly contributes to the NFL's revenue. The league's international expansion, including games in London and Mexico City, has boosted its global visibility[2].

### Fan Engagement
Fan engagement remains high, with 70% of Americans identifying as football fans. The Super Bowl consistently attracts over 100 million viewers annually, and fantasy sports participation involves around 60 million people each year. The NFL's massive fan base and the growing legal sports betting market ensure the league's continued popularity and financial growth[2].

As the draft approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the selection of the next generation of NFL stars and how these picks will shape the future of their favorite teams.
