NFL Draft Rounds 4-7: Key Picks and Surprises from Green Bay

Green Bay, WI – The 2025 NFL Draft concluded today with rounds four through seven, revealing surprising picks and notable player trades. After 102 players were selected over the first two days, another 155 selections were made today, marking the final leg of the annual event.

One of the standout moments came when the Cleveland Browns selected quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was once a top-three ranked quarterback, at pick No. 144. This choice followed the team’s unexpected selection of Dillon Gabriel in the third round, leading many to question the strategy. Despite falling to the fifth round, Browns management believes Sanders has the potential to start in his rookie season.

The Bengals capitalized on available talent in round six, drafting running back Tahj Brooks from Texas Tech at pick No. 193. The Bengals aim to enhance their running game after selecting Chase Brown in previous drafts. Brooks is known for his ability to balance their pass-heavy offense.

At pick No. 190, the Indianapolis Colts picked defensive tackle Tim Smith from Alabama. Smith, who recorded notable stats of 6.5 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss throughout his college career, is seen as a valuable addition to bolster the Colts’ defensive line behind regulars DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart.

The Baltimore Ravens created a buzz with their sixth-round choice of kicker Tyler Loop from Arizona, marking the team’s first selection of a kicker in franchise history. This selection raises questions surrounding veteran kicker Justin Tucker as Loom has a record of high field-goal efficacy and impressive distance.

In a different quarterback decision, the Pittsburgh Steelers added developmental prospect Will Howard in the sixth round, who showcases potential as a backup to an anticipated Aaron Rodgers signing.

The event also featured several trade moves. The Seattle Seahawks traded backup quarterback Sam Howell along with pick No. 172 to the Vikings in exchange for pick No. 142. This trade reflected Seattle’s determination to reshape their quarterback room following their earlier draft picks.

As the night progresses, numerous selections and trades continue to unfold, culminating a dynamic draft season filled with unexpected twists and revelations.
