The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here, so what better way to celebrate than by dropping a full-on monster mock draft?
Sure, you’ve seen your fair share of first-round projections and probably have a good idea of who your team might take on Day One, but have you ever seen a mock laid out by team, top to bottom, just to make your life a whole lot easier?
Look no further.

Arizona Cardinals
1.16) Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Shemar Stewart has all the traits to be an elite pass rusher in this class. He had far and away the best combine performance out of anyone in February, and everything says that he should be fantastic at the next level.
Stewart’s lack of production in college does raise some questions about how good he’ll wind up being, but Arizona needs help off the edge, and I think if he’s here at 16, they can’t pass up on him.
2.47) Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
The Cardinals invested in their defense in the first round, and in the second, they acquired Jayden Higgins as another weapon for Kyler Murray.
3.78) Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
The Cardinals got Shemar Stewart in round one, and in round three, they invested in their defensive line again, selecting Omarr Norman-Lott, who would likely be a starter for Arizona in year one.
4.115) Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia
5.152) Jalen Travis, OT, Iowa State
7.225) Tyler Batty, EDGE, BYU
Atlanta Falcons
1.15) Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
The Falcons saw the departure of defensive cornerstone Grady Jarrett this offseason and need to get help on the interior of their defense. Derrick Harmon could fill that role well, and even bring more juice than Garrett has in previous seasons.
Harmon is the best pass-rushing defensive tackle in this class and would come in and be an immediate starter for Atlanta. Harmon is also a freak athlete for his size and is one of my favorite prospects in this entire class. If Atlanta could get their hands on him, it’d be a match made in heaven.
2.46) Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
If Shavon Revel wasn’t injured last season, he could easily be a first-round pick, and the Falcons don’t pass him up and pair him alongside AJ Terrell.
4.118) Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma
7.218) Raheim Sanders, RB, Arkansas
7.242) Craig Woodson, LB, Cal
Baltimore Ravens
1.27) Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
The weak spot on the Ravens roster right now has to be the offensive line, specifically the guard position, so here they take Tyler Booker.
Booker is the best pure interior offensive line prospect in this class. He doesn’t have the highest ceiling in the world, but his floor is one of the highest in the entire class. He should come in and just be an immediate plus starter for whatever team drafts him.
2.59) Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
The Ravens’ secondary is a weak spot of their defense, specifically the corner, so I have them selecting Darien Porter here, who can come in and start right away for Baltimore.
3.91) Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
While the Ravens have Roquan Smith, they could use another off-ball linebacker, and Chris Paul fits everything Baltimore wants in an LB.
4.129) Jaylen Reed, S, Penn State
4.136) Jake Briningstool, TE, Clemson
5.176) Cam Jackson, DT, Florida
6.183) Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers
6.203) Joshua Gray, OG, Oregon State
6.210) Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn
6.212) Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, DT, Georgia
7.243) Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State
Buffalo Bills
1.30) Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
The Bills must address their defense in the first round, and here I have them taking Maxwell Hairston out of Kentucky.
While I think the Bills would prefer a safety or an elite run stopper, Hairston is Buffalo’s best player at this point. Hairston is good on tape, and his athleticism is off the charts, as he ran a 4.29 forty-yard dash at the combine.
I think him and Benford on the boundary with Tarron Johnson in the slot would be a sick cornerback room for the Bills.
2.56) Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
The Bills got Maxwell Hariston in round one, and now they get Andrew Mukuba, someone who I view as one of the most underrated players in the entire draft class.
2.62) Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
The Bills have three picks in the first two rounds, and I have them taking three defensive players. This time, they are going EDGE with Oluwafemi Oladejo out of UCLA, who had 14 tackles for loss last season.
4.109) Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
4.132) David Walker, EDGE, Central Arkansas
5.169) Jake Majors, OC, Texas Tech
5.170) Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada
5.173) Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA
6.177) Clay Webb, OG, Jacksonville State
6.206) Dalton Cooper, OT, Oklahoma State
Carolina Panthers
1.8) Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Jalon Walker is one of the most interesting prospects in this class because he hasn’t played EDGE much but is being projected as a pass rusher at the next level.
Normally, I don’t like the tweener guys, but Walker’s athleticism elevates him to another level. He could be a high-level pass rusher at the next level. The Panthers shipped out Brian Burns to the Giants last offseason, and Walker could be the perfect replacement.
2.57) Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
The Panthers invested a lot into their offensive line last offseason, but still could use help at center and guard, so they take Tate Ratledge, someone who I view as having the versatility to play either.
3.74) Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State
The Panthers’ secondary is bad, and they need safety help specifically, so they’re grabbing Kevin Winston Jr.
4.111) Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
4.114) Seth McLaughlin, OC, Ohio State
5.140) Dont’e Thornton, WR, Tennessee
5.146) Luke Kandra, OG, Cincinnati
5.163) Que Robinson, EDGE, Alabama
7.230) Thomas Fidone, TE, Nebraska
Chicago Bears
1.10) Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Much like the Raiders, the Chicago Bears also had a fantastic offseason. With the offensive line very much revamped in the windy city, they have the luxury to take a player like Ashton Jeanty at 10.
Talent-wise, Jeanty is a top-three player in this class and would be a great fit on the Bears. Jeanty is only 5’8″, but he is a powerful runner, and his low center of gravity gives him some of the best contact balance I’ve ever seen out of a prospect. I think he’s going to be great in the league and would help Chicago’s offense.
2.39) Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
The Bears have been looking for a cornerstone off-ball linebacker since Roquan Smith departed, so they go and grab Carson Schwesinger here.
2.41) Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Nic Scourton could go as high as the first round, but with him falling, this is a home run pick for the Bears.
3.72) Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
The Bears patched up their offensive line nicely, but they grabbed a tackle to compete with Braxton Jones at right tackle.
5.148) Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State
7.233) Jermari Harris, CB, Iowa
7.240) Johnny Walker, EDGE, Missouri
Cincinnati Bengals
1.17) Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Aside from Stewart, Nick Emmanwori was the best tester at the NFL combine. He scored a 10.00 out of 10.00 on the relative athletic score, and he should be a tremendous player in the league.
Last season, watching the Bengals’ secondary was like watching a JV team, so getting Emmanwori would give them a significant and much-needed boost to their defense.
2.49) Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
The Bengals went secondary in the first and now grab Landon Jackson to give Trey Hendrickson some help along the defensive line.
3.81) Nohl Williams, CB, Cal
The Bengals continue the trend of investing in their defense, taking Nohl Williams out of CAL, who can easily develop into a starter in Cincinnati.
4.119) Sai’vion Jones, EDGE, LSU
5.149) Sebastian Castro, CB, Iowa
5.153) J.J. Pegues, DT, Ole Miss
6.193) Hunter Wohler, S, Wisconsin
Cleveland Browns
1.2) Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Travis Hunter is the most valuable prospect in NFL history with his incredible talent at both wide receiver and cornerback. I’ve long had Abdul Carter to this spot, but I think the Browns can’t pass up on Hunter.
RELATED: Could the New York Giants Eye Two-Way Potential in Travis Hunter?
Hunter would most likely predominantly be a corner for the Browns, but could come play wideout in certain packages and situations. His raw athleticism, combined with work ethic and reportedly great character, make him a can’t-miss prospect.
2.33) Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Browns could opt for a quarterback here, but with Emeka Egbuka still on the board, I don’t see them passing him up.
3.67) Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
The Browns didn’t address quarterback in the first two rounds, but with Jalen Milore still on the board, I don’t think they pass up on him.
3.94) Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
With Nick Chubb out the door, the Browns could use another hard-nose physical running back, and who better fits the mold of that than Cam Skattebo?
4.104) Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
6.179) Kobe King, LB, Penn State
6.192) Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky
6.200) Tonka Hemingway, DT, South Carolina
6.216) Jalin Conyers, TE, Texas Tech
7.255) Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, OT, Oregon State
Dallas Cowboys
1.12) Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
With Jeanty off the board, I have Dallas opting to get another offensive weapon in Matthew Golden out of Texas.
Golden has been one of the highest risers off this offseason, with him originally slotted in as a day two pick and now being a day one lock. He’s a fluid route runner with a great frame and great run-after-catch ability. He did have some concentration drops last season, but if he can get rid of those mistakes, I see him as a true X in the NFL.
2.44) TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
The Cowboys missed out on Jeanty in round one, but they get Treveon Henderson here, who is an electric back in his own right.
5.174) Ricky White, WR, UNLV
6.204) Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame
6.211) Corey Kiner, RB, Cincinnati
7.217) Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M
7.239) Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, OT, Florida
7.247) Ja’Corey Brooks, WR, Louisville
Denver Broncos
1.20) Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Sean Payton’s offense needs an efficient run game, something that Denver severely lacked last season, so here they take the second-best back in the class in Omarion Hampton.
Look, I get that some Broncos fans think that because former UNC running back Javonta Williams didn’t pan out, Omarion Hampton isn’t going to either, but the fact of the matter is they are two different players.
Hampton is a powerful and explosive runner with great vision and a high motor. He’s physical and elusive and should be a perfect fit in Denver’s offense.
2.51) Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
While the Broncos could use a linebacker or maybe a receiving threat, I don’t think they can pass on boundary cornerback Ben Morrison here so that they can move Riley Moss back to the slot and round out their secondary.
3.85) Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
My comp for Elic Ayomanor is Courtland Sutton, and the Broncos get their true Z receiver to pair alongside Sutton in Denver.
4.122) Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Syracuse
5.191) Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
5.197) Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota
6.208) Maxen Hook, S, Toledo
Detroit Lions
1.28) Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Mykel Williams’ range in this draft is anywhere from the top ten all the way down to this area. It feels like each front office has a different opinion on each player in the EDGE class, and I could see Williams falling this far.
Williams is a sick athlete who was pretty productive in his college career. His size is a little smaller than most NFL front offices desire, but I think he can play in either a 4-3 or 3-4. He can stop the run and rush the passer and would fit well alongside Aidan Hutchinson in Detroit.
2.60) Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia
The Lions’ offensive line is great, but they could use another guard. Wyatt Milum played tackle at West Virginia, but projects to be a guard at the next level and would be a good fit in Detroit.
3.102) Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
The Lions revamped their secondary last year, and now they grab a depth piece at the end of the first round, selecting Zy Alexander.
4.130) Savion Williams, WR, TCU
6.196) Tim Smith, DT, Alabama
7.228) Willie Lampkin, OG, North Carolina
7.244) Nazir Stackhouse, DT, Georgia
Green Bay Packers
1.23) Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The Packers need someone to pair up with Rashaan Gary off the edge, as their pass rusher was near the bottom of the league last year. Mike Green out of Marshall is the best one left on the board here.
Green played at Marshall, but I have no questions about his talent level after watching him dominate against Power-Four guys at the Senior Bowl. Green is strong, fast, can bend around the edge, and has a wide variety of pass-rush moves. He and Gary could be a nightmare for years to come in Green Bay.
2.54) Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
The Packers need to get some help for Kenny Clark along the interior of their defensive line, so they take Darius Alexander at 54.
3.87) Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
Green Bay needs depth in the secondary, especially at corner, and Dorian Strong’s ceiling is pretty high, making him a great pick-up for the Packers here.
4.124) Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
5.159) Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon
6.1998) LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse
7.222) Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
7.237) Antwane Wells Jr., WR, Ole Miss
7.250) Jason Marshall Jr., CB, Florida
Houston Texans
1.25) Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
Like Barron, I think Kelvin Banks can go way earlier than this, but if he’s here at 24, there is not a shot the Texans pass up on him. Houston’s offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL, especially after they traded Laremy Tunsil to Washington, so getting Banks would be ideal for the Texans.
Banks was an anchor on the Longhorns’ offensive line last season, and his game should translate well to the league. He’s physical and athletic, making him versatile. Again, if Houston can land Banks, I think it’s a slam dunk for them.
2.58) Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
As I previously mentioned, the Texans have the worst offensive line in the entire NFL, so they take Marcus Mbow to pair with Kelvin Banks, whom they took in round one.
3.79) Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
With Diggs gone and Tank Dell’s NFL future in question, the Texans go and grab Kyle Williams, who is one of the most underrated receivers in this class.
3.89) Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia
Yes, once again, the Houston Texans are investing in their offensive line, this time in the form of Dylan Fairchild out of Georgia.
5.166) Jalen Rivers, OT, Miami-FL
7.236) Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan
7.241) Mac McWilliams, CB, UCF
Indianapolis Colts
1.14) Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The Colts need a safety blanket for quarterback Anthony Richardson. Someone who can consistently get open and catch the ball away and outside of his frame, and no one does that better than Tyler Warren.
Warren is a utility player who can do it all from the tight end position. He runs good routes, blocks well, and can even be utilized as a runner in the offense. I think he would be a great fit in Indianapolis and really help Richardson’s development.
2.45) Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
The Colts lost some offensive line talent this offseason, so they can grab Jonah Savaiinaea here to slide in at guard for them.
3.80) Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
The Colts have Zaire Franklin, but he needs an effective running mate at linebacker, so they take Demetrius Knight to come and the will backer in Indianapolis.
4.117) Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
5.151) Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
6.189) Aeneas Peebles, DT, Virginia Tech
7.229) Howard Cross III, DT, Notre Dame
7.232) Jimmy Horn Jr., WR, Colorado
Jacksonville Jaguars
1.5) Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Much like Cam Ward, basically every mock draft I see has Mason Graham here at five, and I think that’s exactly what’s going to happen on draft night.
The Jaguars finished the 2024-2025 season with the 24th-ranked run defense last season and desperately need help on their interior defensive line. Not only is Graham a run-stuffing monster, but he is also an underrated pass rusher at DT. This is a no-brainer for Jacksonville.
2.36) Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
The Jaguars need secondary help, so they go and get Tre Amos to become a starting corner for them.
3.76) Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
The Jaguars have Josh Allen and Travon Walker off the edge, but with Umanmielen still on the board, they bring him to Jacksonville to become a rotational pass rusher.
3.88) Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
The Jaguars have a problem at tackle, and while I don’t think Cam Williams is quite ready to be an NFL starter, he’s worth drafting at this point for Jacksonville.
4.107) Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois
4.126) Logan Brown, OT, Kansas
5.142) Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State
6.194) Ty Hamilton, DT, Ohio State
Kansas City Chiefs
1.31) Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State
The Chiefs’ offensive line is trending towards being one of the worst in the entire league next season, so here I have them taking Donovan Jackson out of Ohio State.
Jackson took over at left tackle from guard for the Buckeyes after Josh Simmons got injured and played great football at that spot. I think he’ll go back to guard in the NFL as he’s a more natural fit in that spot, and would be a great Thuney replacement in Kansas City, especially with his versatility.
2.63) Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
The Chiefs need a true X receiver, and I think Tre Harris has the ability to develop into that for Patrick Mahomes.
3.66) Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
There’s no question Chris Jones is reaching the end of his prime, and I think Alfred Collins could come in and be a solid replacement for him in Kansas City.
3.95) Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
Lathan Ransom has risen up my draft board throughout this process, and I think he’s one of the smartest defensive backs in this class. That’s the kind of player Spagnola likes on his defense, so the Chiefs grab him here.
4.133) Malachi Moore, S, Alabama
7.226) Phil Mafah, RB, Clemson
7.251) Torricelli Simpkins III, OC, South Carolina
7.257) Aaron Smith, LB, South Carolina State
Las Vegas Raiders
1.6) Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Las Vegas Raiders, in my opinion, had the best offseason out of any NFL team. With Geno Smith and Pete Carroll teaming up again in Vegas, they need to get him a weapon, and I think Tet McMillan is the answer in Vegas.
Giving Geno Smith a big target on the outside with great athleticism and a wide catch radius would be perfect and could really help the Raiders air it out next season. McMillan would come in and instantly be the best wideout on Las Vegas’ roster and would get the Raiders on track to be competitive next season.
2.37) Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Raiders pair Tyleik Williams with Christian Wilkins here, giving them an awesome interior defensive line.
3.68) Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
Las Vegas went wide receiver in round one, and Kaleb Johnson falls into their lap here in round three. Johnson would fit Pete Carroll’s run scheme perfectly.
4.108) Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
5.143) R.J. Mickens, S, Clemson
6.180) Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon
6.213) Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas State
6.215) Kobe Hudson, WR, UCF
7.221) Jo’Quavious Marks, RB, USC
Los Angeles Chargers
1.22) Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Chargers have to give Justin Herbert another weapon at some point in this draft, and I have them doing it in the first round with Colston Loveland.
Loveland is the best pure receiving tight end in this draft class. He’s a smooth route runner and gets in and out of his breaks with ease. His big frame makes him an easy target to hit, and he should help Herbert as a weapon over the middle of the field.
2.55) T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
The Chargers addressed offense in the first round, and here they take defense, selecting T.J. Sanders to come in and start at defensive tackle.
3.86) Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
In round two, the Chargers went interior defensive line, and here they go, EDGE grabbing Josaiah Stewart out of Michigan to potentially be their Joey Bosa replacement.
4.125) Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
5.158) Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa
6.181) Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers
6.199) Jeffrey Bassa, S, Oregon
6.202) Kaimon Rucker, EDGE, North Carolina
6.209) Vernon Broughton, DT, Texas
6.214) Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland
7.256) Bru McCoy, WR, Tennessee
Los Angeles Rams
1.26) Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Jihaad Campbell is a freak of nature at the linebacker position. He scored a 9.85 on his relative athletic score at the combine and is the best off-ball linebacker in the entire class.
MORE: Top Schools With the Longest Active Streaks of First-Round NFL Draft Picks
The Rams need help at linebacker, and Campbell would be a great fit in LA. He’s a leader and a great player, the perfect combination for a Mike linebacker in the NFL.
3.90) Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon
The Rams go defense again with their second pick in this draft, grabbing Jordan Burch out of Oregon to slide into their very young defensive core.
3.101) Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
The Rams have been looking for their eventual Matthew Stafford successor, and I think if there’s a coach in this league that could bring Ewers to his full potential, it’s Sean McVay.
4.127) Tyler Baron, EDGE, Miami (FL)
6.190) Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska
6.195) Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech
6.201) Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa
Miami Dolphins
1.13) Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Miami Dolphins need offensive tackle help in the worst way after Terron Armstead announced his retirement, so they take Josh Simmons here at 13.
I made the mistake of sleeping on Josh Simmons after he tore his ACL during the 2024 season, but the more I watch him, the more I think he is a top-tier tackle in this draft class. Simmons can do it all at the tackle.
He can run block and pass block at a high level. He’s powerful enough to play in a gap scheme and athletic enough to play in a zone scheme. The Dolphins must protect Tua Tagovailoa, and Simmons is the player who can do it.
2.48) Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
The Dolphins need a safety, and Xavier Watts falls into their lap here in the second round, who I view as the third-best safety in the class.
3.70) Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami-FL
The Dolphins have Jonnu Smith, but he’s an aging vet, and Elijah Arroyo would be electric in Mike McDaniels’ offense.
3.98) Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
Deone Walker is a behemoth of a man weighing nearly 400 pounds, and would be a great run-stuffer in Miami.
4.116) Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State
4.135) Chase Lundt, OT, UConn
5.150) Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska
5.155) RJ Harvey, RB, UCF
7.224) Dante Trader Jr., S, Maryland
7.231) Elijah Williams, EDGE, Morgan State
7.253) Barryn Sorrell, EDGE, Texas
Minnesota Vikings
1.24) Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
I think Jahdae Barron can go way earlier than this, but with the way the board has fallen, he goes here at 24 to Minnesota.
Barron’s tape is excellent, and he paired that up with running a sub-4.4 forty at the NFL combine. He won the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given to the best defensive back in the country, and should be a great fit in Brian Flores’ defense.
3.97) Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
Shemar Turner is kind of a tweener and probably projects to be a 3-4 defensive end. Good thing for Turner, that’s the defense the Vikings run, and he’d be a good fit in Flores’ defense.
5.139) Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
6.185) Jah Joyner, EDGE, Minnesota
6.187) Tyler Cooper, OG, Minnesota
New England Patriots
1.4) Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
If the Patriots can have Carter or Hunter fall into their laps on draft night, that would be their dream scenario, and here they get Carter.
Carter has a combination of speed to power that very few pass rushers in the NFL have. He’s a freak athlete who is coming off his first year ever playing off the edge, which means his ceiling is very high. Carter would also be a perfect fit in Mike Vrabel’s defense.
2.38) Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Patriots passed up on the offensive line in the first round to get Abdul Carter, but grabbed their left tackle of the future here in Ersery.
3.69) Jack Bech, WR, TCU
The Patriots brought in Stefon Diggs for Drake Maye this offseason, and now they get him another weapon in Jack Bech.
3.77) Jared Wilson, OC, Georgia
For the first time since 2015, the Patriots are without David Andrews, so they take Jared Wilson to become their center of the future.
4.106) Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon
5.144) Ajani Cornelius, OT, Oregon
5.171) Brashard Smith, RB, SMU
7.220) Patrick Jenkins, DT, Tulane
7.238) Isas Waxter, CB, Villanova
New Orleans Saints
1.9) Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Saints don’t necessarily need an offensive tackle, but many scouts and analysts project Will Campbell to be more of a guard in the NFL anyway.
Regardless of how you feel about what position Campbell should play in the NFL, there’s no denying that he’s the best pure pass blocker in this class. Campbell should be great no matter what position he plays, and the Saints need guard help badly.
2.40) Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
The Saints need quarterback help, and even if Dart sits behind Carr for a season, I think he can develop into New Orleans’ starter in the future.
3.71) Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
The Saints lost Paulson Adebo to free agency this offseason, so they signed Denzel Burke as his replacement.
3.93) Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
The New Orleans Saints could use a Cam Jordan replacement and some youth on their defensive line as a whole, so they grab Kyle Kennard, who broke out in his senior year at South Carolina.
4.112) Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
4.131) Jackson Slater, OG, Sacramento State
6.182) Nick Nash, WR, San Jose State
6.184) Connor Colby, OG, Iowa
7.248) Jared Harrison-Hunte, DT, SMU
7.254) Max Brosmer, QB, Minnesota
New York Giants
1.3) Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Look, I know the Giants just got Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and I know that all the Shedeur rumors are probably just a smoke screen, but something deep down tells me the Giants want Sanders.
General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll’s heads are on the chopping block, and if they don’t think they can get to the playoffs with Wilson or Winston, I could see them taking Sanders. Shedeur has a pretty low ceiling as a prospect but a high floor, and I think he could become an average NFL starter.
2.34) Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
The Giants went with Sanders in the first round, so they get him some protection here in the form of Josh Conerly.
3.65) Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
Harold Fannin Jr. is a unicorn at tight end, racking up over 1600 yards for Bowling Green last year. He would be a great weapon for new quarterback Shedeur Sanders in New York.
3.99) DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
The Giants signed Tyrone Tracy last year, and now they’re pairing him with DJ Giddens, another running back.
4.105) Miles Frazier, OG, LSU
5.154) Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas
7.219) Jaylin Smith, CB, USC
7.246) Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia
New York Jets
1.7) Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
If Armand Membou were to fall to the Jets at seven, I think New York fans everywhere would be rejoicing.
One of Justin Fields’s biggest problems in Chicago was his lack of protection. If the Jets pair Membou with 2024 first-round pick Olu Fashanu and 2023 first-round pick Alijah Vera Tucker, I think the Jets’ offense could be competent in 2025.
2.42) Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
The Jets protected Fields in the first round, and now they go and get him a weapon by selecting LSU tight end Mason Taylor here.
3.73) Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
The Jets are reportedly enamored with Tyler Shough, and with him still on the board in the third round, they invite him to compete with Justin Fields.
4.110) CJ West, DT, Indiana
5.145) Teddye Buchanan, LB, Cal
5.162) Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame
6.186) Jaylin Lane, WR, Virginia Tech
6.207) Cody Lindenberg, LB, Minnesota
Philadelphia Eagles
1.32) James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
The Eagles are excellent on the interior of their defensive line, but could use help off the edge. James Pearce was extremely productive at Tennessee and could bring some help to the Eagles’ pass rush.
Pearce is a weird prospect because he doesn’t look like a fluid mover and doesn’t have a deep bag of pass-rush moves. However, there’s no denying his production. I don’t see him as an every-down defensive end, but I think he has juice as a pass rusher, which is what the Eagles need.
2.64) Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
My comp for Jalen Royals is Deebo Samuel, and I’d love to see a player with that kind of skill set in Philly’s offense.
3.96) Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary
If there was a team that could draft a guy out of William & Mary and make him an all-pro, it’s the Philadelphia Eagles.
4.134) Fadil Diggs, EDGE, Syracuse
5.161) Simeon Barrow, DT, Miami (FL)
5.164) Jamon Dumas-Johnson, LB, Kentucky
5.165) Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
5.168) Mitchell Evans, TE, Notre Dame
Pittsburgh Steelers
1.21) Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The Steelers are fantastic off the edge with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, but with Cam Heyward’s age, they could use another piece on the interior, so I have them selecting Walter Nolen here.
Nolen reportedly has some character concerns, but regardless of whether that’s true or not, he’s got all the talent in the world. The former Ole Miss Rebel was a menace on the interior as both a run stopper and a pass rusher, and would fit the Steelers’ defensive scheme and philosophy very well.
3.83) Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse
The Steelers haven’t taken a quarterback yet, but lucky for them, Kyle McCord fell into their lap in round three. McCord would come in and immediately compete for the starting job in Pittsburgh.
4.123) Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech
5.156) Garrett Dellinger, OG, LSU
San Francisco 49ers
1.11) Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The 49ers had a rough season and followed it up with an even worse offseason. San Francisco lost a lot of talent and needs to replenish through the draft, so here I have them taking the best pure corner prospect in this class.
Johnson’s stock has fallen throughout the offseason, with his arm length and overall athleticism being a big question mark for many people. However, when I turn on the tape, there’s literally nothing about his game that I don’t like.
He’s fluid and sticky in man coverage and a ballhawk when he’s in zone, and he would be a great fit in Robert Saleh’s defense.
2.43) Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Kenneth Grant is another guy who can go in the first, but in this scenario, he falls all the way to 43, and the 49ers scoop him up without thinking twice.
3.75) Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
The 49ers lost Deebo Samuel this offseason, and I have them grabbing Restrepo, who can come and start immediately in the slot to replace Samuel.
3.100) Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
The 49ers lost Dre Greenlaw in free agency, so they signed Danny Stutsman to play alongside Fred Warner in San Francisco.
4.113) Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
4.138) Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
5.147) Elijah Roberts, DT, SMU
5.160) Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech
7.227) Kurtis Rourke, QB, Indiana
7.249) Glendon Miller, S, Maryland
7.252) Rayuan Lane III, S, Navy
Seattle Seahawks
1.18) Grey Zabel, OG, North Dakota State
While Kelvin Banks is still on the board here and could be shifted over to guard in the league, I think Zabel is the best interior prospect left, so Seattle opts to select him.
Zabel played tackle at North Dakota State, but really is much more of a guard at the next level. He’s powerful and mean in the trenches and should really help the Seahawks’ offensive line next season if they can get him.
2.50) Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
The Seahawks lost both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett during the offseason, so they can grab Sam Darnold a receiver in Jaylin Noel here.
2.52) J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
This is the Seahawks’ second selection in round two, and they grab defense this time, getting J.T. Tuimoloau to add to their defensive line.
3.82) Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
The Seahawks need some offensive line help, and with Ozzy Trapilo still on the board here in round three, I have Seattle selecting him as their second offensive lineman in the first three rounds.
3.92) Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
The Seahawks are another team that doesn’t have a stud at off-ball linebacker, and Clemson tends to produce some solid ones, so they select Barrett Carter here.
4.137) Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
5.172) Jack Nelson, OT, Wisconsin
5.175) Marcus Tate, OG, Clemson
7.223) BJ Adams, CB, UCF
7.234) Collin Oliver, LB, Oklahoma State
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1.19) Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Malaki Starks isn’t the athlete that Nick Emmanwori is, but he’s no less talented. Starks had a fantastic career at Georgia and should come in and be a great pairing with Antoine Winfield in Tampa Bay.

Starks has a great football IQ at the safety position and is rangey as heck. He can come down and make plays in the run game, and he covers well over the top. The Buccaneers need all the secondary help they can get, and if Starks is on the board, I don’t see them passing him up.
2.53) Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
The Buccaneers went safety in the first round, and they can double their investment in the secondary this time by going corner and getting Azareye’h Thomas.
3.84) Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
The Buccaneers could use some depth on their defensive line, and Bardyn Swinson is someone who I could see developing into a future starter in Tampa.
4.121) Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland
5.157) Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss
7.235) Jacob Gideon, OG, Western Michigan
Tennessee Titans
1.1) Cameron Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
If you’ve looked at any mock draft that was written in the last month, you’ve seen Cam Ward locked in at number one overall. Ward was just quoted saying that Calvin Ridley was the best receiver in the NFL, so I think it’s all but a foregone conclusion that he will be the first pick.
Ward is the most talented and pro-ready quarterback in this class, with a powerful arm, great accuracy, and the ability to make things happen out of structure. I think he’ll be a good fit in Tennessee and become their franchise guy.
2.35) Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Titans get Cam Ward a weapon in the second round here with Luther Burden still being available.
4.103) Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
4.120) Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
5.141) Rylie Mills, DT, Notre Dame
5.167) Jonah Monheim, OT, USC
6.178) Caleb Ransaw, CB, Tulane
6.188) Jordan James, RB, Oregon
Washington Commanders
1.29) Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
Donovan Ezeiruaku was one of the most productive pass rushers in all of college football last season. He racked up 16.5 sacks for Boston College last season, and I think he’s going to be a really solid pro.
The Commanders shipped out Chase Young and Montez Sweat in the 2023-2024 season and lacked a top-end pass rusher last season. If they can get their hands on either Ezeiruaku or James Pearce here at the end of the first round, I think their defense will take a big step next season.
2.61) Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Brian Robinson Jr. is serviceable, but the Commanders could use some juice at the running back position, and Quinshon Judkins certainly has juice.
4.128) Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
6.205) Jayden Blue, RB, Texas
7.245) Trey Wedig, OT, Indiana
