Biggest Question Facing Each NFL Team After the 2025 Draft: Is Chiefs’ O-Line Fixed? How Will Giants’ QBs Sort Out?
The 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and while teams across the league addressed key roster needs and gambled on future stars, each organization still exits the draft process with at least one lingering question. From Super Bowl contenders with glaring holes to rebuilding franchises trying to figure out their quarterback plans, every fan base now turns its attention to training camp with cautious optimism—or anxiety.
Here’s the biggest question facing every NFL team after the 2025 draft.
Buffalo shipped Diggs to Houston, and while they added young talent at wide receiver, no one on the roster has proven to be a true WR1. The pressure is now squarely on Allen to elevate a young receiving corps, including second-round pick Malachi Corley.
Miami went all-in on defense in the draft, targeting front-seven help. Still, run defense has plagued them in crucial moments. Can this year’s class—led by first-round DT Tyler Davis—change that narrative?
With all eyes on Rodgers’ comeback, the Jets took a win-now approach. The talent is there, but if Rodgers falters or gets hurt again, the season could implode before it starts.The Patriots finally have their hopeful franchise QB in Drake Maye. But with a weak offensive line and thin receiver group, can they risk starting him Week 1
The Ravens’ defense remains elite, and the offense added another explosive playmaker in WR Keon Coleman. But the postseason has been Jackson’s Achilles heel. Is this finally the year he breaks through?
Burrow is coming off a season-ending injury, and although the Bengals fortified the O-line again, there’s always concern when a franchise quarterback suffers a serious wrist issue.
The Browns added weapons and offensive linemen, but Watson still hasn’t looked like the player they traded for. Can they justify his massive contract in 2025
Pittsburgh surprised many by drafting a QB on Day 2 despite signing Wilson and trading for Justin Fields. The clock is already ticking—on all of them.
With Stefon Diggs joining C.J. Stroud, the Texans are suddenly loaded. They focused on depth in the draft. The real question: Can they win when it matters most?
Richardson dazzled in limited time before getting hurt in 2024. The Colts passed on drafting another QB and doubled down on Richardson. It’s boom or bust in Year 2.
After a regression in 2024, Lawrence needs to bounce back. The Jaguars improved the O-line and added a new WR1 in Brian Thomas Jr., but pressure mounts in a contract year.
The Titans drafted WRs and O-line help, but will it be enough for Levis to grow—or will he drown behind a shaky line and inconsistent pass catchers?
After Patrick Mahomes took a beating in 2024, the Chiefs made the O-line a top priority. First-round pick Amarius Mims brings massive upside, but it’s still a question of chemistry and durability. Is it enough to get Mahomes back to MVP-level efficiency?
Sean Payton stunned many by drafting Oregon’s Bo Nix in the first round. The question now becomes: Will the rookie start Week 1—or will Jarrett Stidham keep the seat warm?
The Raiders passed on a first-round QB and instead added depth pieces elsewhere. That’s a massive vote of confidence in O’Connell—or a sign they’re punting on 2025.
Jim Harbaugh is back, and while the Chargers improved in the trenches, they lost both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Justin Herbert now needs a new go-to guy—can Ladd McConkey be that quickly?
Dallas ignored major roster holes like running back and linebacker in the early rounds and seem stuck in a holding pattern. Can Dak Prescott carry an aging core one more time?
Despite a strong draft, the Eagles’ cornerback situation remains a red flag. Kalen King and Cooper DeJean add youth, but will the learning curve cost them close games?
Daniel Jones is returning from injury, Drew Lock was added as a veteran insurance policy, and now they’ve drafted J.J. McCarthy. Three QBs, one starting spot. Training camp could get ugly—or spark a surprise run.
Daniels has the tools to be a star, but Washington’s O-line is a work in progress. Will the Heisman runner-up adapt to NFL speed and stay upright?
The Bears went all-in, adding Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze in the first round. On paper, this looks like a new era—but will it translate to wins?
The offense is elite. The defense? Inconsistent. Detroit doubled down on cornerbacks in the draft, including Terrion Arnold. If the defense clicks, Detroit is a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
The Packers were sneaky good in 2024, and Jordan Love made major strides. Now, with questions along the offensive line, the key is keeping him clean.
The Vikings signed Sam Darnold but also drafted McCarthy. The big question is when—not if—the rookie gets his shot.
They signed Kirk Cousins, then ignored QBs in the draft despite age and injury concerns. Could this decision haunt them in two years?
The Panthers gave Young more weapons and protection, but it’s now or never. If he doesn’t improve in Year 2, the rebuild may start all over again.
Baker Mayfield has revived his career, but the Bucs continue to rely heavily on aging veterans. Was this year’s draft enough to build a future—or are they just treading water?
With Marvin Harrison Jr. and a slew of offensive picks, Arizona finally built around Murray. But the pressure is now on the QB to prove he’s still elit
New head coach Mike Macdoald made his mark in Baltimore with elite defense. Now he’s tasked with fixing a unit that crumbled in 2024. First-rounder Byron Murphy II could be the cornerstone of that turnaround.
The 2025 NFL Draft brought clarity in some areas—and raised more questions in others. Whether it’s the Kansas City Chiefs’ retooled offensive line, the New York Giants’ quarterback carousel, or Caleb Williams’ arrival in Chicago, each team faces a defining challenge this offseason. The answers will unfold in training camp, but for now, the league is filled with more intrigue than ever.
