As the college football season heads into its postseason phase, attention shifts toward the NFL Draft. Players have done nearly everything possible to demonstrate their talents on the field, but which standout prospects have earned a spot in our latest three-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft?
1) Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Las Vegas Raiders
In this scenario, the Las Vegas Raiders opt to pay one of the veteran free agents instead of drafting their future QB. With names like Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston, and Justin Fields potentially available on the open market, the bridge QB approach would allow Las Vegas to load up its roster first.
Travis Hunter will be the top overall prospect on our big board. The Heisman Trophy favorite is a marvel and is one of the best athletes college football has seen in several years. Profiling out as a starting corner who can play sub-package offensive snaps, the elite athlete could truly play anywhere for the Raiders and would vastly improve the team.
2) Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
New York Giants
The New York Giants won’t go into the 2025 season with Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito at QB. They must find a solution or jobs will be on the line at MetLife Stadium.
Cam Ward has continued his upward trajectory throughout his college career and is in discussion to be an early-round selection in April’s NFL Draft. The Miami Hurricanes transfer is one of the most instinctively creative quarterbacks in college football, and while he still has turnover tendencies, they have been limited in South Florida.
3) Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
New England Patriots
Abdul Carter is one of the top players in the 2025 NFL Draft and is arguably the best edge rusher. Furthermore, he potentially has the highest ceiling of any prospect in the class, with his elite athleticism having only transitioned to playing from the edge full-time in 2024.
The Penn State Nittany Lions pass rusher is a volcanically violent rusher with the bend, instant change of direction, and physicality to take over games. But he is still raw and is currently winning from his physical tools. With time, Carter can develop and refine his pass rush moves and add strength to hold up better against the run.
4) Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Carolina Panthers
Tetairoa McMillan has been the best receiver in college football in 2024, amassing 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Arizona Wildcats wide receiver would be the ideal weapon for an improving Bryce Young, with his all-encompassing catch radius, underrated athleticism, and fluid route running.
5) Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars must find a fresh, exciting CB prospect to play alongside Tyson Campbell in 2025. Will Johnson can be the answer. The star Michigan Wolverines’ defender is one of the top corners in college football and has a natural eye for taking the ball away.
With nine interceptions in his three-year career in Ann Arbor, Johnson has impressed with his elite coverage skills, physicality, and anticipation.
6) Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Tennessee Titans
In Mason Graham, the Tennessee Titans would be getting one of the top overall players in the 2025 NFL Draft and an elite defensive tackle. With 45 tackles, 7 TFLs, and 3.5 sacks in 2024, the Wolverines’ defender has showcased a refined, penetrative pass-rush pursuit while having the core strength to get off blocks.
7) Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
New York Jets
The New York Jets need to find the successor to Aaron Rodgers and the answer to the failed experiment. Shedeur Sanders will attract enormous attention from the New York media market, but he has the makeup, upbringing, and support network to deal with it.
A case can be made that Sanders is the most pro-ready QB in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’2” and 215 pounds, the Colorado Buffaloes passer has the above-average athleticism and arm talent to be impactful as a rookie. With great accuracy and processing, he can be a game manager in the NFL, and his sack ratio should drastically improve behind an NFL offensive line.
8) Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Cleveland Browns
The drop-off in the Cleveland Browns’ offensive line play has been considerable in 2024, and they will need to improve whoever is playing QB next season. At 6’4” and 325 pounds, Kelvin Banks Jr. offers super size, athleticism, and grippy hand strength.
However, the Texas Longhorns left tackle still needs to develop his play strength and hand placement if he is to stick outside in the NFL.
9) Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Chicago Bears
Mykel Williams is a physically gifted, athletic pass rusher. At 6’4” and 265 pounds, the Georgia Bulldogs edge rusher has prototypical size and is physical enough to defend the run – a sparse trait in modern pass rushers heading to the NFL.
With 14 sacks in three seasons in Athens, Williams is still raw and needs to continue developing his pass-rush moves. However, his elite agility, sudden burst, and bend can accelerate his growth at the next level.
10) Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
New Orleans Saints
Shemar Stewart is rapidly ascending up 2025 NFL Draft big boards. The NFL is on notice due to the prototypical size and serious upside of the Texas A&M Aggies defensive lineman. At 6’6” and 290 pounds, the Aggies pass rusher offers remarkable athleticism and combines elite length with power and speed.
Stewart could be too good to pass up for a team like the New Orleans Saints, who like to draft players loaded with traits that they can develop.
11) Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Cincinnati Bengals
Jalon Walker has been exceptionally efficient in Kirby Smart’s defense. He has made an impact all over the field with 57 tackles, 11 TFLs, 6.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, and one pass deflection. As a linebacker, he has been tasked with covering extensive areas of the field. However, his future appears to lie as a versatile edge rusher at the next level.
Walker possesses outstanding speed, rare agility, and a flexible bend, which give him a high ceiling in the NFL. At 6’2” and 245 pounds, he has the strength to handle the run game, along with a diverse pass-rush arsenal that still needs to be fully utilized.
12) Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Dallas Cowboys
Are there any 2025 NFL mock drafts that don’t have Ashton Jeanty heading to Dallas? This pick may be getting predictable for Cowboys fans, but the fit makes too much sense.
Jeanty has had a Heisman-worthy season in 2024, leading all of college football with 2,497 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns. He has played a pivotal role in leading the Boise State Broncos to the Mountain West title and the College Football Playoff.
As one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, he has garnered significant attention. With elite vision and contact balance, Jeanty has the potential to be a game-changing selection. His patience, quick change of direction, and intelligent awareness are qualities that can translate well to the NFL.
13) Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Miami Dolphins
Safeties rarely go in the first round of the NFL Draft. But Malaki Starks is different. The Bulldogs defensive back is an elite prospect and has been playing at an NFL level in college.
Starks is an aggressive, physical safety with the natural intelligence, anticipation, and awareness to be effective on every down. He has a quick downhill trigger and is an assured tackler. Meanwhile, he can anticipate routes and jump into throwing lanes to interrupt passing plays.
14) Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Indianapolis Colts
College football fans won’t be surprised to see Tyler Warren in the top 15 of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft. He has been the figurehead of the Penn State passing attack and is more of an offensive weapon than just a tight end.
Warren is a dynamic, athletic weapon with a wide catch radius, crafty route running, and elusive RAC ability to be a mismatch in the middle of the field. While the Nittany Lions’ TE needs to improve his blocking, he will become Anthony RIchardson’s best friend and a lead receiver for the Indianapolis Colts.
15) James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Atlanta Falcons
James Pearce Jr. didn’t take the next step many envisioned during the 2024 season, but he was still highly successful. With 11 TFLs and 7.5 sacks this season, as well as 15 TFLs and 10 sacks in 2023, the Tennessee Volunteers pass rusher has showcased a cultivated ability to get after the quarterback.
Despite being undersized at 6’5” and 242 pounds, Pearce is an excellent athlete who is still developing his pass rush. The Vols defensive playmaker has sudden acceleration and converts speed to power bending around the edge. However, he still struggles to defend the run (despite being improved in 2024), which will limit his ceiling at the next level.
16) Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Arizona Cardinals
Oregon Ducks DT Derrick Harmon has taken a massive jump in 2024 and is now considered a first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Michigan State Spartans transfer has bolstered his draft stock with his disruptive playstyle, having the best year of his career with 42 tackles, nine TFLs, and five sacks.
A pure three-down back, Harmon is technically refined against the run and the pass and can stack and shed blocks to create pressure.
17) Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
San Francisco 49ers
Cameron Williams is a remarkable physical talent who emerged in 2024. The Texas right tackle stands out in a class lacking prototypical size and length. At 6’5″ and weighing 335 pounds, Williams has the potential to become the future right tackle for the San Francisco 49ers.
His impressive abilities, including smooth kick slides, lower body strength, and exceptional athleticism, are sure to capture the attention of the NFL. However, he has occasionally struggled as a first-year player, particularly with developing his counter moves and hand placement.
18) Will Campbell, OL, LSU
Los Angeles Rams
Will Campbell has been one of the top offensive linemen in college football for the last two seasons and enters the NFL with an established pedigree. However, some teams will likely see him moving inside at the next level due to limited arm length.
That could cause a slide in Campbell’s draft stock. But in his simulation, the Los Angeles Rams are the beneficiaries and get themselves a natural leader with a strong anchor to absorb contact, polished technique, and developed intelligence to be a day-one starter.
19) Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Luther Burden III could make an immediate impact in Tampa Bay. Although Mike Evans is aging, the Buccaneers will eventually need to consider potential replacements.
At 5’11” and 205 pounds, Burden is a skillful and versatile wide receiver who excels when he has the ball in his hands. He is a special separator, demonstrating elusiveness and creativity in finding open space. While there are some drops on tape, the Missouri Tigers wideout has the potential to create mismatches from the slot, thanks to his impressive RAC ability.
20) Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Washington Commanders
Isaiah Bond is one of the most electrifying receivers in college football. However, the Texas wide receiver hasn’t produced the numbers you would expect from a first-round talent, finishing the 2024 season with 532 yards and five receiving touchdowns.
Nonetheless, his performance has drawn attention for a reason. On several occasions, the Longhorns have failed to capitalize on Bond’s elite ability to create separation, often due to missed passes or the quarterback not recognizing him when he was wide open during progressions.

These issues are unlikely to arise in Washington, where Jayden Daniels will be the starting quarterback. Bond’s elusive movements, exceptional ball-tracking skills, and explosive route-running provide him with significant potential in this new system.
21) Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Los Angeles Chargers
Kenneth Grant has displayed exceptional quickness and strength on the formidable Michigan defensive line. The Wolverines’ defender has excelled in critical moments, utilizing his 6’3”, 340-pound frame to clog gaps while also possessing the impressive athleticism to gain leverage.
22) Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos have found their future quarterback in Bo Nix, they now need to focus attention on surrounding him with additional weapons.
Colston Loveland is an outstanding athlete and receiving TE who is a mismatch when attacking up the seams. At 6’5” and 245 pounds, the Michigan weapon has an exceptional catch radius and has 1,466 yards and 11 touchdowns in his three-year career in maize and blue.
23) Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have issues across their offensive line, including right tackle, with Abraham Lucas struggling to maintain fitness. Josh Conerly Jr. is an underrated tackle prospect who has quietly gone under the radar so far this draft cycle. The Oregon left tackle possesses agile athleticism, displaying fluid footwork, a strong anchor, and striking hand usage.
24) Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
Baltimore Ravens
A season-ending injury has caused Shavon Revel’s draft stock to fall. However, the East Carolina Pirates prospect is still of first-round caliber. The talented cornerback has all the tools to make it in the NFL, with ferocious physicality, elite twitchy athleticism, and overpowering length to disturb routes and receivers.
25) Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
Houston Texans
Tyler Booker is the best pure guard prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the hulking Alabama Crimson Tide lineman has put together a complete resume in Tuscaloosa. The 6’5” and 352-pound guard plays low and creates leverage with his lower body strength. Additionally, he has underrated suddenness and punishing hand placement to displace interior rushers.
26) Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Green Bay Packers
Nic Scourton is a refined, polished prospect who offers distinguished pass-rushing upside. The former four-star recruit led the Big Ten in sacks in 2023 but hasn’t shown the same production in 2024 in College Station (five sacks). Nevertheless, Scourton’s tape is some of the most complete and developed of any edge rusher in the 2025 NFL Draft.
At 6’4” and 280 pounds, the Aggies defender has an exceptional pass-rush skill set and go-to spin move. Meanwhile, he also uses his strength to create powerful leverage, giving him the platform to get to the QB rapidly.
27) Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Pittsburgh Steelers
With all the physical attributes necessary to be a first-round selection, Walter Nolen is expected to rise up draft boards throughout the draft cycle. The Ole Miss Rebels defensive tackle is an incredibly athletic player, possessing a sudden burst of speed and quick change-of-direction skills.
Since transferring to Oxford, the former five-star recruit has improved his game significantly. His hand technique, ability to disrupt the pocket, and fluid movement could potentially lead to him being selected early in the draft.
28) Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Minnesota Vikings
With an SEC-leading five interceptions, Jahdae Barron has emerged as a contender to be a first-round selection during the 2024 season. The Texas cornerback is an extremely versatile weapon who plays with tremendous intelligence, awareness, and a high motor.
A smart defensive back with a natural ability to take the ball away, the Longhorns defender can impact all levels of the field.
29) Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Buffalo Bills
Over the past two seasons, Landon Jackson has been one of the top edge rushers in the SEC. With back-to-back seasons of 6.5 sacks and over 10 TFLs, the Arkansas Razorbacks edge rusher possesses a refined pass-rushing skill set that will translate well to the NFL.
Additionally, the leading defender for the Razorbacks has the physical tools necessary to excel as a run defender and the strength to remain effective on the field for all three downs.
30) Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles have no obvious need to fill and can start looking to the future. Lane Johnson still seems to have plenty of life left in him. However, starting to plan for his eventual retirement wouldn’t be a bad decision.
Aireontae Ersery has special physical tools to develop. At 6’6” and 330 pounds, the Minnesota Golden Gophers OT has stifling strength and a potent vice grip. With long arms and substantial athleticism, he would be the ideal prospect to target and evolve.
31) Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs must address their offensive tackle issues, and Jonah Savaiinaea could be an excellent solution. He has a well-rounded skill set and a solid build that could make him a starter from day one at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Arizona Wildcats offensive tackle is a versatile player, having played across the line during his time in Tucson. He possesses quick movement and the power needed for effective run blocking while also demonstrating the intelligence, awareness, and lower body strength required to perform well as a pass protector.
32) Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Detroit Lions
Mike Green has put together an extraordinary season in 2024. His 17 sacks led all of college football, and his play has earned him the CFN EDGE Defender of the Year award.
To generate those 17 sacks and 51 pressures, Green has displayed elite power creation and explosive movement. Possessing instant burst and the flexibility to bend the edge, the Marshall Thundering Herd edge rusher has great closing burst, anticipation, and violent hand swipes to kick on in the NFL.
