The Tennessee Titans signed veteran free-agent wide receiver
Tyler Lockett to a one-year, $4 million deal on Wednesday. According to Titans insider Paul Kuharsky, the team views him as "primarily a slot who can still threaten downfield and be used on some outside routes." Before this signing,
Van Jefferson or
Treylon Burks was slated to be Tennessee's No. 2 receiver behind
Calvin Ridley following the departure of
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Lockett brings another veteran presence to the wide receiver room, and he'll presumably catch passes from rookie quarterback
Cam Ward in 2025. While Lockett's arrival slightly improves Tennessee's pass-catching group, they are likely to continue to address the position on Day 2 or Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Washington Commanders are trying to trade back from the No. 29 overall pick in Thursday's 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL insider Dianna Russini. However, if the team sticks with the pick, they are likely to take a defensive player. Washington has just five total picks in this year's draft after sending a fifth-round pick for wide receiver former 49ers
Deebo Samuel Sr. and two mid-round picks for former Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. That said, a potential move-back for additional picks makes sense in a draft class that is not considered to be strong in the first round. If Washington stays at No. 29, the top edge rusher on its board could be the target.

Former University of Michigan tight end
Colston Loveland is the top tight end on some NFL teams' draft boards and could be the first tight end selected during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Penn State's
Tyler Warren has been viewed as the clear TE1 in this class by many, but the other All-Big Ten performer could go off the board before him. Despite playing in run-heavy offenses, Loveland hauled in 101 passes for 1,231 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two seasons. He is a sharper run-router than Warren and could be ready to make an immediate impact as a pass-catcher. The Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, and Los Angeles Chargers are potential top suitors for him on Day 1.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Jaguars are the "team to watch" heading into Thursday night's 2025 NFL Draft. Specifically, the team could make the move up for the No. 2 overall pick to land Colorado wide receiver/cornerback
Travis Hunter. Jacksonville has also been rumored to be interested in selecting Boise State running back
Ashton Jeanty, so their draft-night activity is a top storyline to watch. New general manager James Gladstone is heading into his first draft with the organization and could be looking to make a big splash to bring in one of the "blue-chip" prospects in this year's class. If Hunter lands in Duval County,
Trevor Lawrence might have one of the top wide receiver duos in the NFL in
Brian Thomas Jr. and Hunter.

Iowa State wide receiver
Jayden Higgins could be a surprise first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The upcoming rookie WR draft class remains a mystery, as the class lacks "can't-miss" high-end talent at the top. However, Higgins is a top wide receiver prospect for many after snagging 87 passes for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season. At 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds, Higgins posted a 4.47 forty-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine and is one of the better athletes in this year's class. While he already carries plenty of fantasy football intrigue, he will climb rookie rankings and dynasty rookie draft ADP if he is selected in Round 1.

According to NFL insider Josina Anderson's sources, New York Jets running back
Breece Hall could be available via trade. Anderson reports that league sources have heard about the potential of his availability "within the last week and a half." The 2022 second-round pick out of Iowa State posted a career-low 4.2 yards per carry last season, and head coach Aaron Glenn has hinted at New York moving to a committee approach in the backfield. With the 2025 NFL Draft set to kick off on Thursday night, Hall could be a trade candidate during Day 2 or Day 3. The 23-year-old has flashed at times during his three-year pro career, but a change of scenery could help or hurt his fantasy football outlook moving forward. Hall has compiled 2,333 rushing yards, 1,292 receiving yards, and 22 total touchdowns in 40 career games.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo are two players that are believed to be available via trade during this week's NFL draft, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Okoronkwo has 7.5 sacs over the last two seasons, while Newsome is entering the final year of his current deal in 2025. Newsome, who the team selected 26th overall in the 2021 draft out of Northwestern, has a $13.4 million salary cap hit this year, which is another reason for Cleveland to consider trading him. The 24-year-old is a versatile defensive back for the Browns, but he had a career-low 27 tackles (24 solo), one interception and five pass breakups in 13 games (three starts) in 2024 in his fourth year in the league. Okoronkwo, 30, had three sacks, 23 tackles (15 solo), five tackles for loss and six QB hits in 16 games (five starts) in his second year with the Browns.

Arizona Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) said he was "completely" good to go as the team started their offseason program on Tuesday. Despite injuring his knee last year, Johnson finished the 2024 season as a Pro Bowl alternate and was a key piece of Arizona's offensive line as they helped running back
James Conner go for over 1,000 yards rushing for the second straight season. The 23-year-old injured his knee in Week 15. Johnson was the sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Ohio State and played his rookie season at right tackle before switching over to the left side last year. 2025 will mark the first time Johnson will play the same position in back-to-back seasons since high school. Johnson started all 17 games at right tackle in his first year in the NFL in 2023 but was limited to 14 starts due to his knee injury a year ago.

Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown (knee) said he's doing great in his recovery from a meniscus injury and has been participating in offseason workouts. Brown has been doing what doctors and trainers are telling him and expects to be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. The 27-year-old defensive end played in just one game for the Panthers in 2024 due to his knee injury after starting 17 games in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023. He was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023, racking up a career-best 103 tackles (57 solo), two sacks, seven tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, one interception and six pass breakups. Carolina's pass rush will be in a much better place if Brown, the former seventh overall pick in 2020 out of Auburn, can return to his pre-injury form. The same can be said for Brown's value in IDP fantasy leagues if he's 100 percent healthy.

The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants both like Ole Miss quarterback
Jaxson Dart heading into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night, multiple sources told ESPN's Jordan Raanan over the last couple days. Cleveland holds the No. 2 overall pick, while the G-Men have the No. 3 pick. Neither team is going to select Dart that early if they hold onto their early picks in the first round. However, if Dart remains available near the end of the first round, both teams could be looking to trade back into the first round to take Dart as their future franchise signal-caller. The Denver Broncos have reportedly been fielding offers for the No. 20 overall pick, which could be right in the wheelhouse for a team like the Browns or Giants to trade back up into the first round. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who are just as desperate for a QB, sit at No. 21 overall.

There are questions as to how Colorado wide receiver/defensive back
Travis Hunter will transition to the balance of being both an offensive and defensive player in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is confident Hunter will succeed. "Travis is somebody that is uniquely equipped to do both," Stefanski said. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner averaged an FBS-high 111.5 snaps per game the last two years at Colorado, with no other player averaging more than 78 since at least 2015. Many draft analysts believe the 21-year-old is both the top receiver and top cornerback available in the 2025 NFL draft this week. The Brows would certainly use Hunter in more ways than one, and if they don't trade back from No. 2 overall, many believe that Cleveland will add the elite athlete on Thursday night in Round 1.
