It all comes down to this. We’d been waiting for months, and it’s finally here: the 2025 NFL Draft.
- Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward – QB – Miami
When you’re naming Titans skill position players as the best in the league as you live stream Fortnite, that means you’re getting drafted by Tennessee. - Cleveland Browns – Travis Hunter – WR/CB – Colorado
Cleveland has been fielding calls, much like New York has done. No real shocker, but I think the Browns stay at this pick and select Hunter. General Manager Andrew Berry had high praise for the former Colorado Buffaloes, comparing him to Shohei Ohtani. - New York Giants – Abdul Carter – ED – Penn State
The Giants are split between Abdul Carter and Shedeur Sanders in the front office. Then, head coach Brian Daboll is all in on Jaxson Dart. Unless they trade down, Carter is ultimately the pick at three for them. Be ready for a double dip by the G men at the end of the round. - New England Patriots – Will Campbell – OT – LSU
New England would like to trade down and has a possibility of doing so. Whether they do or don’t, I lean towards them rolling with Campbell out of Baton Rouge. - Jacksonville Jaguars – Ashton Jeanty – RB – Boise State
Everything leads to Jacksonville taking an offensive player. Head coach Liam Coen was an offensive coordinator, and General Manager James Gladstone was a wide receiver when he played in college. Everything leads to them wanting to get more weapons for Trevor Lawrence. The guy at the top of the board and the player, I believe, they are leaning towards is Ashton Jeanty. - Las Vegas Raiders – Kelvin Banks Jr – OT – Texas
Banks got taken higher than I believe many of us thought he’d be selected. It makes sense, though. The Raiders are looking for ‘high character guys,” and Banks has been described as just that. Las Vegas also needs offensive line help. - New York Jets – Jalon Walker – LB – Georgia
I wanted to go in several directions with this pick. The Jets could lean towards offense and take tight end Tyler or defensive tackle Mason Graham. I, however, went with the high upside Jalon Walker. New York has taken multiple defensive linemen over the last couple of drafts, but you can never have enough pass rushers when your head coach is defensive-minded. - Carolina Panthers – Mason Graham – IDL – Michigan
Carolina has a good chance of moving back and ending up with a different defensive lineman. If they stay at eight, it’ll be hard to pass up on a top-four talent in the class at a position group of need. - New Orleans Saints – Mykel Williams – ED – Georgia
For the longest time, I’ve envisioned the Saints taking Shemar Stewart with his perfect 10 RAS score. I still believe that’s a very real possibility. All the rumors and news scream Williams out of Georgia, though, a young developmental edge rusher. A tale as old as time for the Black and Gold. What’s different about this pick compared to players of the past is that Williams played at one of the best programs in the country instead of going for a small-school talent. - Chicago Bears – Walter Nolen – IDL – Ole Miss
Jeanty is already gone, so at this point, Chicago had to pivot. I could see the run on defensive linemen continue as Chicago already addressed the offensive line multiple times in free agency. Many believe it’ll be Tyler Warren or one of the top tight ends. My issue is that I don’t think the Bears are in a luxury pick situation. Cole Kmet is still a good player. - San Francisco 49ers – Shemar Stewart – ED – Texas A&M
The 49ers lost much of their talent to free agency and need to reload with their 11 picks. Stewart’s tools and athleticism could be a good complement, lining up opposite Nick Bosa. - Dallas Cowboys – Tetairoa McMillan – WR – Arizona
If McMillan doesn’t get taken beforehand by Jacksonville, then Dallas will take the former Arizona receiver. The rumors that have come out on McMillan aren’t great, but teams like the Cowboys are looking for receivers and need someone other than CeeDee Lamb to catch passes. - Miami Dolphins – Armand Membou – OT – Missouri
Miami needs to address the lines of scrimmage in multiple ways. If one of the top three offensive lineman fall into their lap like Membou did, they’ll take him. - Indianapolis Colts – Tyler Warren – TE – Penn State
The Colts are looking for a tight end, and with how rich in talent this position is in this class, now is better than ever to have the top prospect be selected. - Atlanta Falcons – James Pearce Jr – ED – Tennessee
I’ve been rocking with Pearce in Atlanta for nearly a month now. The Falcons need to help their secondary by getting into the backfield. Pearce has certain questions about him, but what isn’t questioned is his talent and effort on the field. - Arizona Cardinals – Jahdae Barron – CB – Texas
Barron is a versatile corner who mainly plays in the slot, yet can still be effective as a boundary corner. I also don’t trust most of Arizona’s secondary. - Cincinnati Bengals – Mike Green – ED – Marshall
The Bengals have a huge question mark for the future. Trey Hendrickson’s days in Cincy look numbered as a new pass rusher would help ease the what could be a messy divorce. - Seattle Seahawks – Grey Zabel – OG – North Dakota State
The Seahawks love Zabel, who impressed throughout the draft process. Seattle’s needed to improve their offensive line for a while now, and Klint Kubiak’s offense is heavily focused on the run game. Zabel will open holes in the interior run game. - Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jihaad Campbell – LB – Alabama
This would work out well for Tampa. They re-signed Lavonte David to a one-year deal, and Campbell could sit back and have a reserved role, taking over David’s job in 2026 after recovering from his injury and learn how to become a mike linebacker. - Denver Broncos – TreVeyon Henderson – RB – Ohio State
There are reports that the Broncos want to trade into the top five or could easily want to do the opposite and trade down. Either way, running back seems the be the direction they want to go in. Henderson has gotten more recognition as of late and could go before Omarion Hampton. - Pittsburgh Steelers – Derrick Harmon – IDL – Oregon
I’m not convinced Pittsburgh is taking Shedeur Sanders. That being said, Harmon as a prospect could be the eventual answer to replace Cameron Heyward. - Los Angeles Chargers – Colston Loveland – TE – Michigan
I could see Loveland going in the top 20, especially if Warren gets taken sooner than I have him in this mock. Los Angeles hasn’t had a quality tight end in years, and ought to give Justin Herbert another safety blanket. - Green Bay Packers – Maxwell Hairston – CB – Kentucky
Hairston’s gained a lot of traction as of late and seems to be one of the top two or three options for Green Bay. Hairston’s speed and cover skills could be a counter to the wide receiver talent the rest of the NFC North has. - Minnesota Vikings – Will Johnson – CB – Michigan
Johnson’s medicals are not very promising. That’s why he’s taking a dip when he originally could’ve gone in the top 10. I don’t think he’ll drop out of the first round, though, and Minnesota’s secondary is weak. - Houston Texans – Matthew Golden – WR – Texas
Houston will still need to address the offensive line at some point. I wanted to do so here, but Golden would be a good number two option at wide receiver for CJ Stroud. - Los Angeles Rams – Trey Amos – CB – Ole Miss
The Rams are in an interesting position. I don’t think they have many needs. One of the few they do have is a cornerback. The local product, Trey Amos, to me, has a chance of being one of the few players from Louisiana to be taken in the first round. - Baltimore Ravens – Malaki Starks – S – Georgia
Many roads lead to Starks in Baltimore. That’s been so much, and reports that the Ravens would love to take him. It also makes sense with Kyle Hamilton becoming one of the league’s best safeties, and Starks could help them have a dynamic duo. - Detroit Lions – J.T. Tuimoloau – ED – Ohio State
Tuimoloau’s name has come up more and more, and as we get closer to the draft, I’ve become more and more confident in his chances of going in the first round. It also works since Detroit needs someone to line up and be productive on the other side of Aidan Hutchinson. - Washington Commanders – Josh Conerly Jr – OT – Oregon
It was apparent throughout last season that the Commanders have an issue with the offensive line. If they want to protect Jayden Daniels, especially when they face the Eagles twice every year, then they better improve the trenches. - New York Giants (Trade with Buffalo Bills) – Jaxson Dart – QB – Ole Miss
Like I mentioned earlier, the Giants will be one of the few teams that’ll double-dip in the first round. To avoid a team like the Saints taking Dart, New York moved up a couple of spots without having to give up too much. Dart fits better with what Daboll wants in a signal caller and can sit behind Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson. - Kansas City Chiefs – Josh Simmons – OT – Ohio State
The Chiefs still need help on the offensive line. Simmons fixes just that at offensive tackle. - Philadelphia Eagles – Tyler Booker – OG – Alabama
Philly probably won’t be picking here and has a good chance to trade back. I’m just predicting they’ll take Booker in the second round, if not him, then a Georgia player.
