2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami
There have been rumors on both ends of the spectrum—one where the Titans trade out of this pick, and the other where they draft Cam Ward. I believe the latter will happen, and the Titans will select the supremely talented signal-caller. The Titans haven't had a quarterback with this many tools since the days of Steve McNair. That was also the last time the Titans made it to the Super Bowl. They're in a prime spot with this pick and need a quarterback, so the move is simple: draft Cam Ward and start building around your young QB.
2. Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Browns have already had an eventful offseason, with Myles Garrett going from reportedly wanting a trade to signing an extension that makes him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL. Now, the Browns need to officially turn the page from the Deshaun Watson era, and they do that by drafting Shedeur Sanders. Sanders has experience walking into tough situations, blocking out the noise, and elevating programs. That resilience and leadership will be attractive to the Browns, who view him as the new face of the franchise.
3. New York Giants
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
The Giants had the option to play the waiting game at quarterback, but wisely chose not to. Instead, they signed veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston—both clear upgrades over what they had last season. This move puts the Giants in a position to simply take the best player available. And that player is Abdul Carter—the best overall talent in the draft. Pairing Carter with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns will create a terrifying front that will give opposing offensive coordinators serious headaches when it comes to protecting their quarterback.
4. New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OT, LSU
If the board falls this way, this should be the biggest no-brainer of the draft. The Patriots have a glaring hole at left tackle, and in my opinion, Will Campbell is the best offensive tackle in this class. Campbell fills a major positional need for the Patriots, but more importantly, he embodies the exact culture that Mike Vrabel wants to establish in New England: tough, gritty, and physical.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
The Jaguars, picking at number 5, have multiple holes to fill on both offense and defense. That’s why it makes perfect sense for them to draft a player with the rare potential to address two needs: wide receiver and cornerback. Travis Hunter has made it clear that he wants to play both sides of the ball in the NFL, and the Jaguars are an ideal team to give him that opportunity. They need a playmaker to pair with Trevor Lawrence on offense and also need help at cornerback. Hunter could be a dynamic solution for both.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan
At his core, Pete Carroll is a defensive-minded coach who understands the importance of having a dominant defense, especially up front. The Raiders already boast a strong defensive line with Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins, and the idea of adding Mason Graham to that mix could make their front one of the most feared in the NFL. The AFC West is loaded with talented young quarterbacks, and what’s the one thing that slows them down? Pressure.
7. New York Jets
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Finding an offensive identity with Justin Fields is pivotal for the Jets this year. Last season, they drafted Olu Fashanu, who was playing well at left tackle before suffering an injury. However, they still have a glaring hole at right tackle that needs to be addressed. With this pick, the Jets select RT Armand Membou, potentially giving them two bookend offensive tackles to protect Fields for the next decade.
8. Carolina Panthers
Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
This scenario is picking up steam—and for all the right reasons. The Panthers need to add defensive pieces, and Jalon Walker has proven to be one of the best front-seven defenders in the draft, capable of playing both linebacker and edge rusher. But what truly sets him apart is his exceptional football character—something the Panthers desperately need. They’re looking for a culture-changer, someone who brings new energy into the building and refuses to accept failure. That’s Jalon Walker.
9. New Orleans Saints
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Saints have been linked to potentially drafting a quarterback at the No. 9 spot, but I think they pass on that option and instead take one of the best players in the draft. Will Johnson's stock appears to be falling a bit—likely an "out of sight, out of mind" situation due to his injury this past season. But make no mistake: he has all the physical tools to be a lockdown corner from day one. The Saints traded away Marshon Lattimore this past season, but with this pick, they fill that void with a young, talented playmaker who’s already shown elite ability on film during his college career.
10. Chicago Bears
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The Bears have done a great job addressing the trenches on the offensive side of the ball, giving themselves a better opportunity to protect Caleb Williams. This allows them to shift focus in the draft and add key pieces on defense. With this pick, the Bears select Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams. He has all the physical tools to be a premier pass rusher—he just hasn't fully put it all together yet. Pairing him with an established player gives Williams a real shot at success and could give the Bears a strong one-two punch off the edge next season in a division loaded with talented young quarterbacks.
11. San Francisco 49ers
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
The 49ers are clearly in a transition period as they attempt to get younger and more cost-effective while locking down Brock Purdy to an extension. The key to the 49ers' success, though, is to pay Purdy and maintain a high level of talent around him. With this selection, the 49ers are trying to achieve this by drafting OT Kelvin Banks Jr. Banks Jr. can step in right away for the 49ers along the offensive line, and this also helps them prepare for the day when they may need to move on from Trent Williams.
12. Dallas Cowboys
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Cowboys have a top-heavy roster that lacks depth outside of a few players and reliable playmakers. While the main talking point will always be Dak Prescott, the real attention should be focused on the skill position group and the lack of talent in recent years. With this pick, the Cowboys finally make an effort to improve by adding a playmaker. Tetairoa McMillan is a 6-foot-4 receiver who is a good route runner and will serve as the big-body receiver the Cowboys need, pairing well with CeeDee Lamb.
13. Miami Dolphins
Kenneth Grant, IDL, Michigan
Last offseason, the Dolphins lost Christian Wilkins, which left a void in their defense. Kenneth Grant is a big, strong, physical IDL who has proven he can be a force against the run. An added element to Grant's game is that he can also rush the quarterback, showing quickness and the ability to collapse the pocket.
14. Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson will enter camp in a battle for QB1. The upside for both quarterbacks is that they have quite a few weapons at their disposal, both at the WR and RB positions. The one position that needs to be addressed is TE. Colston Loveland is a big-bodied TE who is versatile in alignment and a smooth route runner, capable of becoming one of the best TEs in the NFL if utilized properly. Whether Jones or Richardson works out at QB, with this addition, the Colts will have one of the better skill position groups in the NFL.
15. Atlanta Falcons
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
The Falcons have consistently drafted offensive prospects over the last few years, and the offense is showing promise. But with the loss of Grady Jarrett, in addition to finishing toward the bottom in sacks, the Falcons seem to need to focus on defense here. With this pick, the Falcons take Jihaad Campbell. Campbell is a versatile front-seven defender who can play as a stacked linebacker, but there is a lot of untapped potential as an edge rusher, both of which the Falcons need.
16. Arizona Cardinals
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The Cardinals' roster has plenty of holes that need to be filled, and one of those holes is edge rusher. The Cardinals have added pieces along the defensive front, but none with the pass-rushing upside of Mike Green. Green has proven through his sack production and also showcased at the Senior Bowl that he has the potential to be a premier edge rusher in the NFL. Green should step right in and improve the Cardinals' pass rush and defense.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Bengals did what nobody thought they would do this offseason: find a way to pay Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. So, while the passing attack is slated to be one of the best in the NFL, the Bengals need balance. That balance will come when they draft Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty will pick up where they left off, benefiting from lighter boxes because defenses won’t dare put eight in the box to stop him with Chase and Higgins on the outside.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Like their divisional rival, the 49ers, the Seahawks have had an active offseason, offloading players who have been key pieces to their offensive identity. However, the Seahawks need to replace those playmakers if they want a shot at seeing Sam Darnold resemble the version of himself he was in Minnesota. The addition of Matthew Golden is much needed, and Golden has the opportunity to immediately become a key player for the Seahawks and be the WR1 in Seattle.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
The Buccaneers need to continue adding pieces to their secondary for this defense to take the next step under Todd Bowles. Jahdae Barron primarily played corner in the 2024 season, but throughout his career, he has proven that he can play all over the secondary. This skill set will be useful in a Bowles defense that likes to give exotic looks and asks a lot of their defensive backs.
20. Denver Broncos
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The Broncos, without a doubt, were the surprise team of the NFL last year. If it wasn’t for Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix would have been on track to be the OROY. There was early success, but the Broncos need to continue improving the players around Nix. Sean Payton, during his time in New Orleans, always liked to utilize the TE position, and it has been a staple in his offense. The Broncos opt to draft Tyler Warren, a playmaker at the TE position who is good after the catch and also has some experience playing wildcat quarterback, which should give Payton a couple of flashes of Taysom Hill. But don’t mistake it—Warren is a true TE with the upside to be one of the best in the NFL.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
The Steelers appear to be the team that has put all of their eggs in Aaron Rodgers' basket and are in a holding pattern to see if Rodgers wants to play there or not. There's a realistic shot that Rodgers waits until after the draft to make his decision. If this is the case, I believe the Steelers will grow frustrated and move forward, whether Rodgers wants to come or not, and draft a quarterback. Reports indicate that the Steelers were intrigued by Justin Fields' physical tools, but talks broke down, and Fields is now in New York. With this pick, the Steelers draft Jalen Milroe, a young player who has shown he can throw the football at a high level at times, but also has elite physical tools.
22. Los Angeles Chargers
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Chargers had one of the best one-two pass-rushing duos with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. But this offseason, the Chargers moved on from Bosa. They go back to fill this void and draft edge rusher Shemar Stewart. Stewart has high-end physical traits, including speed, strength, hand technique, and athleticism, but lacks the production. Pairing him with a savvy veteran like Mack should be the perfect situation for Stewart and allow the Chargers to have a dynamic one-two punch once again.
23. Green Bay Packers
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Maxwell Hairston was one of the premier performers at the NFL Combine, posting the fastest 40-yard time of any prospect. But the key with Hairston is that his speed matches up with the film. Hairston was injured for much of this year, but in 2023, he was one of the high-end playmaking defenders in all of college football. Hairston can play both man and zone coverage and has a knack for getting his hands on the football. He should be a welcome and impactful addition to this Packers defense.
24. Minnesota Vikings
Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State
The Vikings are once again looking to add pieces to their secondary. Azareye'h Thomas is a long corner who can play both man and zone. In an aggressive Brian Flores defense, Thomas could become a reliable and key piece to this defense immediately.
25. Houston Texans
Walter Nolen, IDL, Ole Miss
The Texans' defense is really talented, but there are a few positions they can improve upon, and one of those positions is the IDL. Walter Nolen working the interior, while Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter work the edges, will make for one of the most dominant defensive lines in the NFL.
26. Los Angeles Rams
Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
The Rams are in position to make another playoff and Super Bowl run, but they need to shore up their offensive line. Donovan Jackson may be the most versatile offensive lineman in this class and can fill in wherever the Rams need him to help improve the offensive line overall.
27. Baltimore Ravens
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Ravens need to add to their WR corps. Emeka Egbuka is a skilled wide receiver who excels at running routes and getting open, but he's also really good after the catch. Adding Egbuka to this corps may finally solve the receiver issue that the Ravens have had long-term.
28. Detroit Lions
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
The Lions' pass rush has been reliant on Aidan Hutchinson, but for the Lions' defense to take the next step, they need another high-end pass rusher. Donovan Ezeiruaku is one of the most naturally gifted pass rushers in the draft and should be a great complement to Hutchinson.
29. Washington Commanders
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
The Commanders could go defense with this pick, but the run game for Jayden Daniels will probably be just as important for the Commanders. With this pick, I have the Commanders drafting North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton. Hampton is a big-bodied RB who delivers punishment but also has breakaway speed, proven by his 4.4 40-yard dash at the combine. Adding Hampton to this offense will undoubtedly give the Commanders one of the best rushing attacks with Daniels and Hampton.
30. Buffalo Bills
Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia
The Bills have had to make some tough decisions over the years to stay under the salary cap, which has led to the departure of some key veteran defensive pieces. The only way to replace them cost-effectively is through the draft. Safety is one of the positions the Bills have lost via free agency. With this pick, the Bills go with safety Malaki Starks. Starks has shown that he can be a sideline-to-sideline ball-hawk and will immediately improve the backend of this defense, helping them get closer to the Super Bowl.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Chiefs need to do the same thing they did a few years ago: focus all of their attention on improving the offensive line. Josh Simmons is a top OT in this class, and if it weren’t for a mid-season injury, he may have been a top-10 pick. A healthy Simmons could be the starting LT for the Chiefs for the next decade.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Rinse and repeat. The Eagles' formula for success over the past decade has been centered around dominating in the trenches and drafting players with elite upside to be disruptive. With this pick, they do the same. James Pearce Jr. is one of the most athletic edge rushers in the draft, coming off back-to-back productive years at Tennessee. In a deep Eagles rotation, Pearce Jr. should immediately project as a high-end pass rusher.
