14) Indianapolis Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
If Penn State tight end Warren is still available here, the Indianapolis Colts should go with the Penn State standout. If not, Colston Loveland is the choice. The burly 6’5″, 250-pounder totaled nearly 1,500 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns for Michigan over three years, including 582 yards and five touchdowns on 56 catches last season.
Those numbers would be welcome for a Colts team with 467 yards combined from its top four tight ends in 2024. Loveland brings the traditional tight end blocking skill set desirable for a team still relying on Jonathan Taylor’s (1,431 yards, 11 touchdowns rushing in 2024) groundwork.
15) Atlanta Falcons: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
This may be low, with Armand Membou grades around the same as LSU OT Campbell on a lot of boards. He’s big (6’4″, 332 pounds) and fast (4.91 in the 40) and could be the heir apparent at left tackle for long-time Atlanta Falcons stalwart Jake Matthews.
However, Membou played solely at right tackle in college, and Kaleb McGary has that slot locked down right now. This may be a depth pick to have the talented Membou back up both tackle spots and build his way into the starting lineup two or three years later.
16) Arizona Cardinals: Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas
Jahdae Barron could be a dynamic addition to a secondary featuring Sean Murphy-Bunting (three INTs in 2024) and Garrett Williams. The 2024 All-American and Jim Thorpe Award winner led the Longhorns with five interceptions, totaling eight picks, 221 tackles, and 21 tackles for loss in Austin.
At 5’11” and 194 pounds, Barron possesses solid height and a strong build to bang on the outside and presents the Arizona Cardinals with a host of rotational options.
17) Cincinnati Bengals: Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen had a banner season with the Rebels after transferring from the Texas A&M Aggies, earning All-American status after posting personal bests of 48 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks.
A host of defensive names will start popping up for several teams between now and the end of the first round. With Sam Hubbard retiring this offseason, Cincinnati has been linked with several edge players, tackles, and linebackers in this draft slot. Nolen could come in and aid All-Pro Trey Hendrickson on the line right away.
18) Seattle Seahawks: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The Seattle Seahawks allowed 332.7 yards per game in 2024, including 120.8 on the ground and 21.6 points per contest. Those are solid numbers compared to the rest of the league, but not “Legion of Boom” numbers. Mike Green could be another cog in the Seahawks’ proposed next version of that defense under coach Mike Macdonald’s watchful eye.
Macdonald, who oversaw talented defenses with the Baltimore Ravens and Michigan, wants versatile pieces for his chessboard, and the 6’3″, 251-pound Green is a powerful edge that can move around the line. The 2024 Sun Belt Player of the Year had 84 tackles, including 23 for loss, and a nation-leading 17 sacks.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Baker Mayfield can never have enough weapons in his arsenal, and the selection of Emeka Egbuka in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft gives him another productive collegiate wide receiver to pair with future Hall of Famer Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan, who had eight touchdowns as a rookie.
Egbuka is a solid (6’1″, 202 pounds) route runner with 81 catches for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns in Columbus last season. He went for 2,868 yards and 24 career touchdowns with the Buckeyes.
20) Denver Broncos: Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M
Zach Allen (8.5) and John Franklin-Myers (7) each set career highs in sacks for the Broncos last year, helping Denver reach the playoffs for the first time in nine years. The team still allowed 25 points a game, and Shemar Stewart could come on board as a depth piece while also making some waves on the depth chart.
The 6’5, 267-pound edge was solid against the run, and his pass rush skills should be used more regularly at the next level.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
As fun as last year’s Justin Fields/Russell Wilson experiment was and as exhilarating as it can be to play will he/won’t he with Aaron Rodgers, the Pittsburgh Steelers need to focus on the future under center. Jaxson Dart has the skill set, the production, and the moxie to be the next long-term Steelers quarterback.
Dart was named first-team All-SEC last fall with Ole Miss while throwing for 4,279 yards and 29 touchdowns and completing over 69% of his passes. Mason Rudolph is listed as QB1 in the Steel City right now, but that could be temporary until Dart is ready.
22) Los Angeles Chargers: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Jihaad Campbell was another first-team All-SEC selection, recording 117 tackles, including 12 for loss, and five sacks for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Like many recent great Alabama linebackers, Campbell can make plays at all three levels, inside the box, as a blitzer, and in coverage. He has no deficiencies, and the 6’3″, 235-pounder’s size and speed will hold up during the long NFL season.
Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh wants aggressive dogs in his linebacker corps. He already has a couple, including leading tackler Daiyan Henley and sensational 12th-year vet Khalil Mack. He could have another one here with Campbell.
23) Green Bay Packers: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Rashan Gary led the Green Bay Packers with 7.5 sacks last season. The team totaled the fourth-most in the NFC and eighth-most overall. Mykel Williams could get them considerably closer to Denver’s league-leading 63 sacks.
The 6’5″, 260-pound bull had 23 tackles for loss and 14 sacks during his career in Athens. His inside-outside pass rush capabilities would fit well on Green Bay’s line.
24) Minnesota Vikings: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
An All-SEC selection with the Rebels, Trey Amos would pair up nicely with Byron Murphy Jr., who led the Minnesota Vikings with six interceptions last season. The team signed a couple of options in free agency, but the Ole Miss standout most likely would represent an upgrade over anyone else on the depth chart.
The well-traveled Louisiana native totaled 121 tackles and four interceptions between Ole Miss, Alabama, and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns.
25) Houston Texans: Grey Zabel, OT, North Dakota State
The Houston Texans have Tytus Howard and Juice Scruggs listed as the starting guards for now, but with the release of Shaq Mason, Houston needs some more big bodies inside. Grey Zabel, an FCS All-American with the North Dakota State Bison, would add depth and most likely push for the starting spot at one of the interior positions.
Zabel has bulked up more than 70 pounds since he arrived on campus, and the 6’6″, 312-pound is the road grader that C.J. Stroud and 1,000-yard back Joe Mixon could continue making a living behind.
26) Los Angeles Rams: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon
Braden Fiske and Kobie Turner were both standouts on the Los Angeles Rams’ line in 2024 after eight-time All-Pro Aaron Donald’s retirement. Derrick Harmon could continue that resurgence along the line.
The 6’3″, 310-pounder would command double teams and be a reliable addition behind the two emerging Rams linemen. Harmon had career highs of 45 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and five sacks for Oregon after transferring from Michigan State.

27) Baltimore Ravens: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
The Baltimore Ravens boast a solid rush defense, holding opponents to a league-low 80 yards per game on the ground last season. The pass defense needs work after allowing 244 yards through the air per game, second-worst in the NFL. Linebackers Kyle Van Noy (12.5) and Odafe Oweh (10.0) recorded double-digit sacks, but the Ravens need more production from their edge rushers.
Donovan Ezeiruaku was second to potential first-rounder Green nationally with 16.5 sacks in 2024, and his 20.5 tackles for loss were good for fourth in the nation. He played under coach Bill O’Brien last season, so he’ll have a good feel for the NFL coming in.
28) Detroit Lions: Malaki Starks, DB, Georgia
The Detroit Lions probably need another edge rusher more, but safety is also a high position of need, and Malaki Starks is the best remaining player on the board here. The 2023 consensus All-American had a strong junior campaign in Athens, recording 77 tackles. He also had six interceptions in three seasons for Georgia.
Starks could go much higher than he has in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft due to his versatility, but this would be an excellent fit for the Lions if he falls on Thursday night.
29) Washington Commanders: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Washington Commanders took huge strides forward last fall, reaching the NFC Championship game for the first time in 32 years. Now, coach Dan Quinn provides second-year phenom quarterback Jayden Daniels with more offensive options, taking Luther Burden III out of the SEC.
With over 2,200 career yards, Burden has proven he can play on the outside against high-level defenses, despite a dip in production in his junior year. Washington has gritty Terry McLaurin and dependable Zach Ertz, but Daniels needs another weapon as the team attempts to become a playoff mainstay in the NFC.
30) Buffalo Bills: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
TreDavious White is returning to the Bills, but Buffalo needs some long-term options at the cornerback position and can start doing that late in the first round. A shoulder injury limited Maxwell Hairston to just seven games in 2024, but he recorded five interceptions, including two touchdowns, in 2023.
Hairston, at 5’11”, 183 pounds, has the speed and size to man the position as a starter early on.
31) Kansas City Chiefs: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
The Kansas City Chiefs sent Joe Thuney to Chicago in a trade, and Donovan Jackson makes a logical replacement in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft. His rush-blocking abilities would allow Patrick Mahomes and company to continue their inventive ways on offense.
A first-team All-Big Ten selection for the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, the 6’4″, 320-pounder is used to opening big holes for the likes of TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who should also come off the board soon.
32) Philadelphia Eagles: Nick Emmanwori, DB, South Carolina
Nick Emmanwori, a 6’3″, 220-pound All-SEC selection with the South Carolina Gamecocks, would quickly become a fan favorite at Lincoln Financial Field. Just picture this menace roaming around in the secondary to time big hits or coming up to provide run support and the occasional blitz.
Emmanwori was productive throughout his South Carolina tenure, totaling 244 tackles and six interceptions in three seasons in Columbia. He had a career-high of 88 tackles and four picks last fall, two of which went back for touchdowns.
2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 2
33) Cleveland Browns: Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
After adding Swiss Army knife Hunter with the second pick of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Browns need to address what is quickly becoming a glaring hole at the running back position. Nick Chubb has only played in games and rushed for just over 500 yards combined over the last two seasons.
Omarion Hampton, who has rushed for more than 3,100 yards and 30 touchdowns over the past two seasons with the Tar Heels, is an easy pick here.
34) New York Giants: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Josh Conerly, a first-team All-Big Ten selection a year after being named honorable mention All-Pac-12, paved the way for 1,000-yard rushers Bucky Irving (twice) and Jordan James each year in Eugene. Now, he’ll hope to do the same for Tyrone Tracy Jr.
35) Tennessee Titans: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Nic Scourton’s numbers dipped a bit for the Aggies after transferring from Purdue, but he has the body and the motor to succeed immediately for the Titans. Consistency is the key. He has a quality stable of moves that he can use inside and outside. It’s simply a matter of how creative he gets within the scheme.
36) Jacksonville Jaguars: Jayden Higgins, Iowa St.
This is a put-up or shut-up year for Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. The ballyhooed Clemson quarterback has missed the playoffs three of his four seasons under center for Jacksonville, and last year he hit bottom, going just 2-8.
On the positive side, LSU rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. had 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. Now, the team needs a bona fide No. 2. Jayden Higgins, a 6’4″, 215-pound Iowa State product who had 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns on 87 catches, fits the bill.
37) Las Vegas Raiders: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
After landing their future running back in Jeanty in the first round, the Raiders need to work on improving the wall ahead of him. Josh Simmons, a 6’5″, 317-pound former Buckeyes product, gives them depth at both guard and tackle positions.
38) New England Patriots: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Deatrich Wise Jr. and Keion White led the Patriots with five sacks each last season. They added aggressively through free agency, including prize addition Milton Williams. James Pearce Jr., who had 17.5 sacks in his last two seasons with the Volunteers, is another piece of the puzzle for New England.
39) Chicago Bears: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Grady Jarrett came over from the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, so this is no longer a pressing need, but adding Kenneth Grant, a big, powerfully framed disruptor who stood out in the middle in Ann Arbor, would give the Bears twin towers inside for those cold late season games on the shores of Lake Michigan.
40) New Orleans Saints: Azareye’h Thomas, DB, Florida State
New Orleans lost dependable cornerback Paulson Adebo for half the season in 2024 due to injury. Then, the Saints lost him to the Giants in free agency. The 6’1″,197-pound Azareye’h Thomas, who played nearly 40 games in three seasons with the Seminoles, would have the chance to fill that hole right away.
KEEP READING: How the NFL Draft Works: Step-by-Step Process Explained Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft
41) Chicago Bears: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Tyrique Stevenson and Jaylon Johnson are the returning starters at the cornerback position for Chicago, but the team could use more depth and even a push here and there at those two. The 6’2″, 193-pound Shavon Revel Jr. only drops this far in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft because of concern over his torn ACL.
He only played three games for the Pirates last season, but his size, speed, and skills have him positioned to be a good one when healthy.
42) New York Jets: Darius Alexander, DL, Toledo
The Jets have Quinnen Williams (six sacks) at defensive tackle and brought in Derrick Nnadi from Kansas City, who missed all but one game last season. But the 6’4″, 304-pound Darius Alexander, who played in 58 games and totaled 127 tackles and nine sacks in his career at Toledo, could be a sleeper here.
43) San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Tyler Booker, an All-SEC and All-American guard, would be a gift to the 49ers at this position. He had 87 knockdown blocks last season while also showing the versatility to move outside to left tackle when needed.
44) Dallas Cowboys: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Dallas did well the last time they went to Columbus for a running back, as Ezekiel Elliott has run for more than 8,000 yards and 74 touchdowns in his eight years with the Cowboys. Rico Dowdle is a 1,000-yard back, but Henderson, who rushed for over 3,700 yards and 42 touchdowns with the Buckeyes, would provide much-needed depth at the position.
45) Indianapolis Colts: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
Carson Schwesinger led the Big Ten with 90 solo tackles last season. He had 136 stops overall, including nine for loss, and added four sacks and two interceptions. The 6’2″, 225-pounder will give Indy some pop and punch up field, and he’ll fit in nicely behind tackling machines Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed.
46) Atlanta Falcons: Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame
Atlanta gets a gift here as Benjamin Morrison only drops this far in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft because he missed most of the second half of his junior campaign with the Fighting Irish. He recorded six interceptions in a Freshman All-American season in 2022 and followed that up with 10 passes defensed as a sophomore.
47) Arizona Cardinals: Xavier Watts, DB, Notre Dame
The productive Xavier Watts gives Notre Dame back-to-back picks in the second round. The 2023 Bronco Nagurski Award winner and two-time All-American was a ball hawk with 13 interceptions over the last two seasons and led the team to the national championship game last fall.
KEEP READING: Could Cleveland Browns Select Both CB/WR Travis Hunter and QB Shedeur Sanders in 2025 NFL Draft?
48) Miami Dolphins: J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
The 6’4″, 270-pound J.T. Tuimoloau progressed greatly over his four years in Columbus, concluding with a 12.5-sack campaign for the national champions. He also had 22 tackles for loss, totaling 45 of those in his Ohio State career. Zach Sieler had 10 sacks for the second straight year, but the Dolphins need more depth on the line.
49) Cincinnati Bengals: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
The three-time All-Conference selection was the picture of consistency, making 36 starts and logging over 2,400 snaps while helping lead the Wildcats’ turnaround, which included a 10-win season in 2023. Last year, Jonah Savaiinaea posted an impressive 82.7 pass-blocking grade and allowed just four sacks across 738 snaps.
50) Seattle Seahawks: Jack Bech, WR, TCU
After two up-and-down seasons at LSU, Jack Bech transferred to Fort Worth and joined the Horned Frogs’ quickly growing list of NFL prospects at wide receiver. He had 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns on 62 catches. Seattle needs him as part of the replacement unit for the departed DK Metcalf.
51) Denver Broncos: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)
Elijah Arroyo, who overcame multiple knee injuries at Miami to post 35 catches for 590 yards and seven touchdowns last fall, could become the next Hurricanes’ tight end to produce at a high level in the pros. He was a second-team All-ACC selection, and provides Bo Nix with a reliable target in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft,
52) Seattle Seahawks: Darien Porter, DB, Iowa State
Darien Porter played a school-record 64 games with the Cyclones and was a special teams standout, blocking five kicks during his time in Ames. After switching from wide receiver, he ultimately became a presence in the defensive backfield, culminating with 51 tackles, three interceptions, and an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Landon Jackson was an All-SEC performer his last two seasons in Fayetteville, totaling 24 tackles for loss and 13 sacks during that time. He was a constant disruptive force who ended up on all the major defensive award watch lists. Calijah Kancey and Logan Hall combined for 13 sacks for Tampa Bay last season, and Jackson would add to that edge room.
54) Green Bay Packers: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
Jaylin Noel would become the second Iowa State wide receiver off the board, and his production over four years in Ames warrants consideration. He had 245 catches for 2,855 yards and 18 touchdowns over four seasons, highlighted by his first 1,000-yard campaign in 2024.
Green Bay has a strong core of young receivers, but none have separated from the pack as the lead dog. Noel could put his name in the mix as well.
55) Los Angeles Chargers: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Quinshon Judkins was a punishing back in both the SEC and Big Ten and totaled more than 4,200 and 50 touchdowns in his three-year career between Ole Miss and Ohio State. He and Henderson were perhaps the best 1-2 set of backs in the country.
Former Buckeye J.K. Dobbins is Jim Harbaugh’s lead back, but he’s only played 22 games in three seasons. Look for Judkins to offer depth.
56) Buffalo Bills: Savion Williams, WR, TCU
Buffalo needs more hands in the receiver room beyond Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, making Williams an intriguing pick here. Passed over by Bech as TCU’s No. 1, Savion Williams still recorded over 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns. His combination of strength — he squatted 600 pounds and benched 355 — and explosiveness would give Josh Allen another target to play with.
57) Carolina Panthers: Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
Ozzy Trapilo was a legacy in Chestnut Hill who made 36 starts, primarily at right tackle. The two-time All-ACC selection was one of the conference’s premier pass protectors while also anchoring a line that led the way for Boston College’s strong rushing game. The Panthers will appreciate Trapilo’s durability and versatility.
58) Houston Texans: Airontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Airontae Ersery made 38 straight starts and was named a second-team All-American for the Gophers. He and Zabel would give the Texans a stout line for years to come.
59) Baltimore Ravens: Anthony Belton, OT, N.C. State
Anthony Belton is a massive, 6’6″, 345-pound tackle who was a mauler and a three-year starter for the Wolfpack. The All-ACC-caliber lineman logged over 2,200 snaps and recorded dozens of pancakes, suitable for his nickname, “Escalade.”
Ronnie Stanley is nearing 10 years of service, and the offensive lineman room could use another dose of youth after drafting Roger Rosengarten last season.
60) Detroit Lions: Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
Marcus Mbow’s growth over four years in West Lafayette mirrors the progress the Lions have made over the past few seasons. This past fall, Mbow returned from a leg injury to lead a unit that led the way for a Purdue rushing offense that averaged 184.6 yards per game. The 6’4″, 303-pounder would provide depth at both guard and tackle positions.
61) Washington Commanders: Jordan Burch, DL, Oregon
Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell simply weren’t enough on the edge for the Commanders last fall. Jordan Burch, whose game shot up several notches after transferring from South Carolina to Oregon, had 8.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 11 games last season.
The 6’4″, 275-pounder is peaking at the right time and could be a huge boost for Washington’s pass rush.
KEEP READING: Alabama Mock Draft Round Up: Where Crimson Tide Athletes Are Being Selected
62) Buffalo Bills: Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
With the addition of Joey Bosa to a room that includes Greg Rousseau (eight sacks) and AJ Epenesa (six sacks), this pick would represent an embarrassment of riches. However, with Bosa’s injury history, Oluwafemi Oladejo, who totaled 13.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last fall for the Bruins, would actually be more of a necessary insurance piece.
63) Kansas City Chiefs: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
The Chiefs have other needs, but Harold Fannin Jr., the MAC Offensive Player of the Year and an All-American, is just too attractive an option for Andy Reid to pass up. He had 117 catches for 1,555 yards and 17 touchdowns.
He became the first tight end in FBS history to lead the nation in catches and yards in the same season. Kansas City already has Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, but they will also find a way to get Fannin into the mix.
64) Philadelphia Eagles: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
Tyleik Williams played at an All-American level the past two seasons in Columbus. He posted 46 tackles, including eight for loss, and had 2.5 sacks for Ohio State. His presence only enhances a disruptive Eagles front line that will again be a nuisance to opposing lines and quarterbacks this fall.
2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 3
65) New York Giants: Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
The Giants, after taking Conerly last round, double down on the line and bring in Ratledge, a gamer who was named first-team All-SEC in 2023 and an All-American in 2024 despite missing four games. He led a unit that dominated at times over multiple championship seasons.
66) Kansas City Chiefs: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
Kareem Hunt came in and did an admirable job after the Chiefs lost Isiah Pacheco, but the team will take a look at Johnson if he is still available at this point. The senior earned first-team All-Big Ten with 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Hawkeyes.
67) Cleveland Browns: Jacob Parrish, DB, Kansas State
The 5’10”, 191-pound corner made 24 starts for the Wildcats, including 12 last fall, when he had 50 tackles. He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 two straight seasons and will provide depth to Cleveland’s defensive backfield.
68) Las Vegas Raiders: Elic Ayomanor, Stanford
The Canadian’s size and speed helped him lead the Cardinal in receiving both years he played in Palo Alto. Ayomanor totaled 125 catches for 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns and would be a vital addition to an offense already overly dependent on tight end Brock Bowers.
69) New England Patriots: Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
Williams’ name and game shot up when he transferred from UNLV to the Cougars two seasons ago. He went for 2,041 yards and 20 touchdowns on 131 catches in his two seasons in Pullman. The Patriots have missed countless times at the wide receiver position over the past two decades. They need a hit here.
70) Jacksonville Jaguars: Andrew Mukuba, Texas
Mukuba was an all-conference player for both Clemson and Texas during his collegiate career. He made 149 tackles and 20 pass breakups during his time with the Tigers. He transferred to Texas ahead of his senior season, and he led the SEC with five interceptions. The Jaguars can use this versatile defensive backfield piece early on.
71) New Orleans Saints: Kevin Winston, DB, Penn State
Winston is a wild card, having missed nearly his entire junior campaign after suffering a partially torn ACL in September. As a sophomore in 2023, Winston had 60 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two fumble recoveries to earn All-Big Ten status. New Orleans could get itself a steal if Winston can regain his previous form.
72) Chicago Bears: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
Umanmielen made the most of his one season in Oxford. After coming over from Florida, Umanmielen had 10.5 sacks, the second most in school history, while leading the nation’s stingiest rushing defense. He was named first-team All-SEC and second-team All-American.
73) New York Jets: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
Collins patiently waited his time behind a plethora of NFL-caliber talent before guiding the Longhorns’ defense to a memorable College Football Playoff campaign last fall. The 6’6″, 332-pounder was a second-team All-American with 55 tackles as a senior.
74) Carolina Panthers: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
The Terrapins consistently churn out productive wide receivers, and Felton is the latest example. The 6’2″, 178-pounder had 96 catches for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns as a senior last fall. Carolina had success previously with D.J. Moore, another Maryland alum.
75) San Francisco 49ers: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
With Joey Bosa jettisoned to Buffalo, the 49ers could draft his replacement and bring in another Buckeye. Sawyer was productive throughout his Ohio State career, and 59 tackles, including nine for loss, and nine sacks for last season’s national champions.
KEEP READING: Ohio State 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting Where Every Buckeyes Star Will Be Drafted
76) Dallas Cowboys: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia
Dallas’ line was the envy of the league for years, but with retirements and departures, the team needs to reload in the trenches. Milum, who made 31 consecutive starts and did not allow a sack in pass protection in his final three seasons, is a strong replacement.
77) New England Patriots: Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
Sampson set Tennessee single-season records for rushing yards (1,491) and touchdowns (22) while earning SEC Offensive Player of the Year and All-American honors. The Patriots have Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, but Sampson provides a bit of youth and maybe a bit more of the versatility Gibson was supposed to provide when he arrived from Washington.
78) Arizona Cardinals: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
Sanders established himself as the SEC’s best interior defensive lineman in 2024, earning All-Conference and All-American accolades while totaling 50 tackles, including seven for loss. It was the second straight season he performed at an elite level in the SEC.
The Cardinals, on a defensive lean in this draft, will appreciate the strength and versatility from this 6’4″, 297-pounder.
79) Houston Texans: Jared Wilson, OC, Georgia
Wilson was one of the leaders of a line that again dominated play, getting the Bulldogs back to the College Football Playoff yet again. After appearing in 13 games and helping guide Georgia to nearly 500 yards of total offense per game, he earned second-team All-SEC honors while logging over 1,000 snaps. He has a solid, 6’3″, 310-pound frame.
Houston needed massive additions on the line and has done so in the first three rounds of this mock draft.
80) Indianapolis Colts: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
Much of the spotlight went to Campbell, but Jones, who started 36 of 38 games at right tackle, was just as critical for the Tigers, who put up 40 points and 475 yards per game in his career. He allowed just one sack while matching up against the SEC’s best and earned All-Conference honors the last two years after being named a Freshman All-America in 2022.
81) Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Farmer, DL, Florida State
The 6’3″, 318-pounder was a mainstay on the Seminoles’ line the past three seasons, totaling 74 tackles, including 20 for loss and 10 sacks. He was named All-ACC multiple times and was lauded for his leadership traits, which will serve him well in Cincy.
82) Seattle Seahawks: Nohl Williams, DB, California
Williams led the nation with seven interceptions in 2024 for the Bears. His versatility allowed him to stand out first at UNLV and then in the last two seasons with Cal. He scored a touchdown via interception, fumble, and kickoff returns and was named first-team All-ACC. The Seahawks want to vault their defense back into the elite ranks, and Green, Porter, and Williams could allow them to do that quickly.
83) Pittsburgh Steelers: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
If Harris can slide down to this slot, the Steelers need to take him, even with veterans Metcalf and George Pickens, and the emerging Calvin Austin III already on the roster. The 6’3″, 210-pound third-team All-SEC selection totaled more than 200 catches and 3,500 yards while scoring 29 touchdowns in five seasons between Louisiana Tech and the Rebels.
84) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
Knight got the job done at Georgia Tech and Charlotte before a final, standout season with the Gamecocks. He had 82 tackles, including eight for loss, and two sacks. The 6’2, 245-pounder would fit well in a linebacker room featuring veteran tackling machine Lavonte David and free agent signee Haason Reddick.
85) Denver Broncos: Billy Bowman Jr., DB, Oklahoma
The dynamic ballhawk started 41 games in Norman, totaling 199 tackles, including 10 for loss and 11 interceptions. He had six picks to lead the Big 12 in 2023, including three that he returned for touchdowns. As the Sooners transitioned to the SEC, Bowman continued to serve as the team’s playmaker across the field.
86) Los Angeles Chargers: Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia
This may be a slight reach, but the Chargers need some help on the interior of the offensive line. The 6’5″, 318-pound Bulldog was a state champion wrestler and has no problem mauling inside at the guard position. He’s comfortable in the trenches and, in this mock, would give Los Angeles a mean road grader ahead of Judkins.
87) Green Bay Packers: Shemar Turner, DL, Texas A&M
Turner played in 43 games the past four seasons for the Aggies, making 115 career tackles, including 24 for loss, while recording 10 sacks. This 6’4″, 285-pound specimen was an All-SEC performer who used his size and athleticism to consistently make plays. His game should transition well from College Station to Green Bay.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars: Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
The 6’5″, 241-pound Helm emerged this past season for the Longhorns, collecting 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns. His prep basketball prowess is apparent in his swift movement throughout routes. He was named a John Mackey Award semifinalist and second-team All-SEC and will push a tight end room led by Brenton Strange.
89) Houston Texans: Ty Robinson, DL, Nebraska
The 6’6″, 310-pound Robinson had a fine final campaign in Lincoln, recording 37 tackles, including 13 for loss, and seven sacks while leading a Huskers defense that finally looked somewhat Big Ten-worthy last fall.
90) Los Angeles Rams: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Los Angeles needs to prepare for a future without Matthew Stafford, and Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett aren’t it. Milroe is the dual threat that coach Sean McVay has not had the opportunity to utilize at the quarterback position.
The 6’2″, 201-pounder threw for more than 6,000 yards and 45 touchdowns while rushing for nearly 1,600 yards and 33 scores.

91) Baltimore Ravens: Quincy Riley, DB, Louisville
Riley was solid in his three years at Louisville, becoming a pass-defending machine. He led the ACC with 13 pass breakups last fall after totaling 12 the year before. He also recorded 101 tackles and eight interceptions in three seasons. The Ravens need cornerback help and could pick up a good one here late in the third round.
92) Seattle Seahawks: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Taylor set the standard for tight ends in Baton Rouge, becoming the first Bayou Bengal to surpass 100 career receptions and 1,000 career yards in program history. He had 55 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns in 2024 and would push Noah Fant for playing time in Seattle.
93) New Orleans Saints: Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
The 5’10”, 209-pound dynamo could become a quick favorite of Sanders with his consistent production across the field. He was a consensus All-American after catching 69 passes for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Hurricanes, the second straight season he eclipsed the century mark for yards. He’s a gamer who rose from special teams contributor to the first Miami player in history with back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving campaigns.
94) Cleveland Browns: Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
Cleveland re-signed Joe Flacco and picked up Kenny Pickett, and DeShaun Watson’s status is unclear, coming off his injury. Why not add a local fan favorite with a shiny new championship ring? The 6’4″, 235-pounder threw for more than 4,000 yards and 35 touchdowns in his one season in Columbus after tossing 48 scores in four seasons at Kansas State. This could be one of the steals of the draft in a few years.
95) Kansas City Chiefs: Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
After earning All-American accolades following a 12-sack 2023 campaign, Gillotte posted another solid output in his senior year. He finished his Cardinals career with 131 tackles, including 41 for loss, and 26.5 sacks, productive numbers that make him an attractive option for the Chiefs.
96) Philadelphia Eagles: CJ West, DL, Indiana
West’s transfer from Kent State coincided with the Hoosiers’ ascension to an elite running defense last fall. An All-MAC performer with the Golden Flashes, West’s consistency continued his one season in Bloomington. He finished with 40 tackles, including eight for loss, two sacks, and a forced fumble as Indiana skyrocketed 80 spots to second nationally in rushing yards allowed per game.
97) Minnesota Vikings: Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
The 14-win Vikings have a stud in the backfield in Aaron Jones, but Cam Akers is not a consistent or healthy enough backup. Skattebo, who burst onto the scene nationally with 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns rushing for the surprising Sun Devils, offers a ground-and-pound style that will quickly make him a fan favorite.
98) Miami Dolphins: Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary
The 6’5″, 311-pound Grant was a three-year starter and made 41 starts at left tackle for the Tribe. He allowed just one sack as a senior and two sacks in his final three seasons. William & Mary finished fourth nationally among FCS schools in rushing with 232.8 yards per game. They were ranked in the top 13 each of his last three seasons.
99) New York Giants: Omarr Norman-Lott, DL, Tennessee
Norman-Lott had 13.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss across five seasons between Arizona State and Tennessee. His last two seasons with the Volunteers were productive if not flashy. The 6’2″, 291-pounder is both disruptive and adept at collapsing the pocket.
100) San Francisco 49ers: Upton Stout, DB, Western Kentucky
A history of injuries forced Stout toward the end of the third round, and he may even be a reach here. But his 2024 campaign with the Hilltoppers highlighted his playmaking ability. He had 52 tackles, including eight for loss. The 5’8″, 181-pounder had six career interceptions at Western Kentucky, but he needs to prove he can match up with NFL-caliber receivers on a consistent basis.
101) Los Angeles Rams: Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
Kennard made his one season in Columbia count. After totaling 115 tackles, including 23 for loss, and 12.5 sacks in four seasons at Georgia Tech, the 6’4″, 254-pound Kennard exploded for 11.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss with the Gamecocks.
102) Detroit Lions: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
Carter was a reliable performer for coach Dabo Swinney during his four years with the Tigers. He was a three-time All-ACC linebacker, twice earning first-team honors. He had 82 tackles, including 11 for loss, and 3.5 sacks for Clemson last fall. Carter could man the middle of Detroit’s defense for the next decade.
