The 2025 NFL Draft concluded with a flurry of picks on Day 3, including notable surprises and strategic selections by various teams. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell unexpectedly to the Cleveland Browns at No. 144, presenting them with a potential future starter at a low-risk investment. The Philadelphia Eagles scored big with Texas OT Cameron Williams at No. 207, a player projected much higher by analysts, which could fortify their offensive line for years to come.

Other highlights included South Carolina Edge Kyle Kennard going to the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 125, who fits well within their defensive scheme, and New Orleans Saints adding productive corner Quincy Riley at No. 135. Meanwhile, some teams made questionable choices, like the Chicago Bears selecting Maryland LB Ruben Hyppolite II, who many analysts considered a reach at No. 132. In contrast, the selection of Oregon WR Tez Johnson by Tampa Bay at No. 235 raised eyebrows given their already deep receiving corps.
