2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Many mock drafts project Tennessee to select Abdul Carter, but as in my previous article, I continue to predict Cam Ward as the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Titans must get it right at quarterback, and Ward possesses both elite arm strength and mobility.
2. Cleveland Browns – Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State
Carter is the draft’s premier pass rusher and one of the best edge prospects in recent years. Cleveland will bypass a quarterback and instead select arguably the most talented player in the class. Carter could form a dominant tandem with Myles Garrett or provide the Browns with the flexibility to trade Garrett, with Carter as his successor.
3. New York Giants – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Momentum continues to build for Sanders landing in New York. After passing on multiple quarterbacks last season and selecting Malik Nabers instead, the Giants secure their long-term answer at quarterback with the experienced Sanders.
4. New England Patriots – Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Hunter will enter the combine as a cornerback, but he has the potential to contribute on both sides of the ball. The Patriots could consider a skill-position player or an offensive lineman, but Hunter is among the top prospects in this class and would make an immediate impact.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Jacksonville could look to add a cornerback, but Graham presents too much value to pass up. A disruptive force on the interior defensive line, he combines a relentless motor with strong pass-rushing skills.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Las Vegas will forgo selecting a quarterback and instead opt for McMillan. With a need at wide receiver to complement Brock Bowers, McMillan is a perfect fit for new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly’s system and one of the most talented skill-position players in this draft class.
7. New York Jets – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Jets will consider multiple offensive players, but the opportunity to draft Johnson will be too enticing to pass up. Pairing him with Sauce Gardner would give New York one of the league’s most formidable cornerback duos.
8. Carolina Panthers – Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Grant is a player whose stock should rise after the NFL Combine. At 6-foot-3 and 342 pounds, he is a dominant force in the trenches. Athletically, he was ranked as the No. 1 player on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List last offseason. Grant would immediately demand double teams and bolster Carolina’s defense, similar to Jordan Davis when he joined the Eagles.
9. New Orleans Saints – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The Brock Bowers effect is in full force. Teams will not let a player like Warren slip outside the top 15. He provides new head coach Kellen Moore with a versatile, high-volume target at the tight end position.
10. Chicago Bears – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
This is a dream scenario for new head coach Ben Johnson. The Lions’ offense reached another level after drafting Jahmyr Gibbs in 2023, and Johnson could look to replicate that model with Jeanty in Chicago.
One of the best running back prospects in the last decade, Jeanty would help accelerate Caleb Williams‘ development with his explosive playmaking ability and well-rounded skill set.
11. San Francisco 49ers – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The 49ers add one of the top offensive linemen in the draft. Campbell is a versatile, plug-and-play prospect who can line up at either guard or tackle.
12. Dallas Cowboys – Kelvin Banks, OL, Texas
Banks can play tackle but would likely start at guard. The retirement of Zack Martin amplifies Dallas’ need to reinforce the offensive line.
13. Miami Dolphins – Armand Membou, OL, Missouri
Membou is one of the biggest risers in this draft class. Miami has significant needs along the offensive line, and the versatile, athletic Membou would be an ideal fit. At just 21 years old, he has the potential to develop into one of the top linemen in this class.
14. Indianapolis Colts – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Multiple teams reportedly have Loveland ranked ahead of Tyler Warren on their boards. Loveland offers elite hands, speed, and athleticism, making him a mismatch weapon at the next level.
15. Atlanta Falcons – Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
In what has become an annual tradition, the Falcons select a skill-position player in the first round. Burden has elite playmaking ability with the ball in his hands and can be deployed on gadget plays. He complements Drake London and Darnell Mooney well and gives second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. another dynamic weapon.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia
Walker is an explosive pass rusher with elite speed. He would be a tremendous value at this stage of the draft and provide an immediate impact.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Nolen is slightly undersized at 293 pounds (Senior Bowl measurement) but possesses significant potential as a pass rusher.
He has an excellent motor and could quickly become a disruptive force on the Bengals’ interior defensive line.
18. Seattle Seahawks – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Simmons would have been in consideration as the draft’s top offensive lineman if not for a season-ending knee injury. He has the ideal size and footwork to become a long-term cornerstone at offensive tackle.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – James Pearce, EDGE, Tennessee
I previously projected Tampa Bay to select a wide receiver, but after re-signing Chris Godwin to a two-year deal, edge rusher becomes the priority. Pearce is among the draft’s most explosive defensive athletes and would immediately elevate a Buccaneers pass rush that ranked seventh in sacks last season.
20. Denver Broncos – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Broncos struck gold at quarterback last year and will now surround Bo Nix with weapons. Egbuka fits perfectly, complementing Courtland Sutton‘s skill set. He has the potential to lead Denver in targets as a rookie, projecting as a power slot who could become the Broncos’ version of Kansas City’s Rashee Rice.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
The Steelers need a long-term quarterback solution and land one in Dart. He combines mobility with a big arm and could ultimately become a top-10 selection. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields becoming free agents, Pittsburgh could sign one of them as a bridge quarterback before handing the reins to Dart early in his career.
22. Los Angeles Chargers – Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M
Stewart is this year’s “freak-athlete” riser. He had a strong Senior Bowl performance and should further boost his stock at the NFL Combine, where he is expected to run a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at over 280 pounds. The Chargers pass on a skill-position player for the second straight year, frustrating fantasy managers.
23. Green Bay Packers – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Barron is one of the best cornerbacks in this draft class and a steal at this spot. He is an experienced, well-rounded corner who also excels against the run.
24. Minnesota Vikings – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Henderson is climbing draft boards rapidly. He is a dynamic two-way threat as both a runner and receiver, with legitimate home-run ability. Henderson would thrive in a committee backfield alongside Aaron Jones and is an ideal fit next to quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
25. Houston Texans – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
The Texans have a clear need at wide receiver, and Golden would fit perfectly opposite Nico Collins.
He led Texas in touchdown receptions and finished the season on fire, including big performances in the SEC title game and the College Football Playoff.
26. Los Angeles Rams – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
L.A. is expected to trade longtime standout Cooper Kupp, making Ayomanor (6-2, 210 lbs) an ideal replacement. With impressive body control and polished route-running, Ayomanor would complement Puka Nacua perfectly.
27. Baltimore Ravens – Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Williams is just 20 years old and needs additional development, but NFL teams will embrace his athletic potential and elite traits. The Ravens led the league in sacks last season and can afford patience. This pick is a high-upside swing for Baltimore.
28. Detroit Lions – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
No change from my previous mock. The Lions have a significant need opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Green led the nation in sacks (17) and was impressive at the Senior Bowl. Off-field concerns, however, could push him down or entirely off some teams’ draft boards.
29. Washington Commanders – Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC
A surprise selection—three running backs going in Round 1 signals renewed value for the position. Even if Hampton slips out of the first round, he’s almost certain to go early in Round 2. After hitting big on Jayden Daniels, Washington will surround him with dynamic skill-position talent, and Hampton could become a star in this offense.
30. Buffalo Bills – Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Buffalo could consider wide receiver or cornerback here, but Harmon is too valuable to overlook. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound defensive tackle made an immediate impact at Oregon after transferring from Michigan State.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Josh Conerly, OL, Oregon
Anyone who watched the Super Bowl saw Kansas City’s glaring need along the offensive line. Patrick Mahomes played behind the worst line of his career. Expect the Chiefs to invest heavily at this position, starting with the talented Conerly.
32. Philadelphia Eagles – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
The rich get richer. Philadelphia adds another Georgia Bulldog in Starks, who has the potential to become a game-changing force on the back end of an already elite defense. It wouldn’t be surprising if another team falls in love with his profile and drafts him earlier in Round 1.
