As the first round of the NFL Draft has ended, it’s time to shift our attention to Day 2, which features Rounds 2 and 3. While many of the top players have already come off the board, a slew of talent is still waiting to be selected, including Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Michigan CB Will Johnson. Where will they land?
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Rounds 2 and 3
The first round of the NFL Draft was chaos, with the Jacksonville Jaguars surprising everyone and trading up to select Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. It didn’t end there as the New York Giants traded back into the first round and took Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick.
As we head to Day 2, several intriguing prospects remain on the board, including quarterback Shedeur Sanders, edge rusher Mike Green, cornerback Will Johnson, and wide receiver Luther Burden III.
Without further ado, the Cleveland Browns will kick off Friday evening by taking the most polarizing figure in the entire draft.
Round 2
33) Cleveland Browns: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
The Sanders slide became apparent once the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on the Colorado QB at No. 21. With that happening, the Browns can take the talented passer without the pressure on an organization that comes with a first-round QB.
While they do have veterans Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett already on the roster, Sanders could learn in the shadows and eventually be Cleveland’s savior at the game’s most important position.
34) Houston Texans: WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
With the departure of WR Stefon Diggs and the uncertainty of WR Tank Dell’s gruesome knee injury, the Texans would be wise to take Burden, who falls to them in the second round.
Once considered a sure-fire first-rounder, Burden had an underwhelming season in 2024 for a number of reasons — much of which was because of QB play and coaching. Though his lack of production is clearly alarming across the NFL, the talent is still there. With QB C.J. Stroud throwing him the ball, Burden could regain his second-team All-American playing level from 2023.
35) Tennessee Titans: WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
With the selection of QB Cam Ward at No. 1, the Titans add a big target for their new QB with their first pick in the second round. Higgins, at 6’4″ and 218 pounds, is no slouch in terms of speed; he surprised by running a 4.47 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
Higgins caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards for the Cyclones in 2024, solidifying himself at the top of the second tier of receivers in this draft. Head coach Brian Callahan, whose specialty lies offensively, gets two building blocks for the future in Tennessee in the first two days of the draft.
36) Cleveland Browns: S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
The Browns lack a game-changer at the safety position and, after trading with the Giants, put themselves in position to select Emmanwori. The Gamecocks’ safety is a freak athlete, measuring in with the top marks in both the vertical and broad jumps at the NFL Combine.
He’s rangy, as evidenced by his 4.38 40-yard dash time — a necessity when facing AFC North QBs Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. Where he’ll need development is in the mental aspect, as he was caught with his eyes in the wrong places at time. But physically, Emmanwori will be able to contribute right away and has an extremely high ceiling.
37) Las Vegas Raiders: CB Will Johnson, Michigan
The cornerback-needy Raiders have to be overjoyed to land the two-time All-American CB with their second-round pick, as there was chatter just weeks ago about Johnson being a candidate for Las Vegas’ sixth overall pick.
The former Wolverine fell in the draft largely due to a knee injury suffered during the 2024 season. However, there’s no denying his playmaking abilities, as he turned three of his nine interceptions into pick-sixes in his three seasons at Michigan.
38) New England Patriots: EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
Another player who will be snatched up in the second round is Green, who led the nation in sacks with 17 in 2024. The reason he fell is squarely because of off-the-field issues: he’s facing two separate sexual assault allegations, although legally nothing has come about. Green denies the allegations.
Looking past those issues, his skillset is tremendous and has first-round talent written all over it. Head coach Mike Vrabel and the Patriots organization will likely be cautious in adding Green, who spoke openly about the allegations in pre-draft interviews, which is potentially a positive sign for the Thundering Herd EDGE.
39) Chicago Bears: EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
The Bears have long desired a young edge rusher, and Ezeiruaku would be an ideal choice with their second-round pick. Second in the nation in sacks behind Green at 16.5, the former Eagle wins at the point attacks and simply gets to the QB at a high level.
He’s also an effective run defender, a skillset Chicago defenders need once the weather gets colder and teams have to pound the ball. Although not seen as having an immensely high ceiling, Ezeiruaku should be able to contribute in a rotation right away.
40) New Orleans Saints: EDGE J.T. Tuimoloau, Ohio State
After passing on a pass rusher and selecting tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with the ninth pick, the Saints dip into a strong EDGE class and take Tuimoloau, who tallied 12.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2024. He spearheaded a dominant Buckeye defense that helped lead them to a national title.

With legendary Saint Cameron Jordan expected to retire soon, Tuimoloau would spend at least a season learning from the once prolific pass rusher.
41) Chicago Bears: RB TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State
With their second pick in the second round, the Bears capitalize on a loaded running back class and take a speedster in Henderson. Starter D’Andre Swift averaged just 3.8 yards per carry in 2024 and, though just 26 years old, seems to have lost a step.
Henderson could elevate the outside running aspect of the Chicago offense and give the Caleb Williams-led offense another weapon to help take the pressure off the young signal-caller.
42) New York Jets: CB Shavon Ravel Jr., East Carolina
Considered a first-round talent by many scouts heading into the 2024 season, Ravel fell down draft boards after tearing his ACL. His raw athleticism is visible on tape but will need refining — something head coach Aaron Glenn, a former NFL cornerback, could assist with.
The Jets, who saw D.J. Reed walk out the door this offseason, capitalize on Revel’s fall and will place him opposite starting CB Sauce Gardner.
43) San Francisco 49ers: WR Jalen Royals, Utah State
A master of yards after catch, Royals provides an immediate replacement to the departed Deebo Samuels for the 49ers. He packs a punch at 6’0″, 205 pounds, and tied for the quickest 10-yard split at the Combine of 1.49 seconds.
Royals’ numbers didn’t jump off the page in 2024 (55 catches, 834 yards, six touchdowns), but it’s the film that separates him from other second-tier receivers in this class. It’s not hard to see him filling right in to the void left by Samuels.
44) Dallas Cowboys: LB Carson Schwesinger, UCLA
Finally breaking out in his final season with the Bruins, Schwesinger is a ball-hawk with a high football IQ. In 2024 alone, totaled 136 total tackles including 90 solo. Dallas needs shoring up at the linebacker position, and they add a talented player who may still have untapped potential, considering his late career surge.
45) Indianapolis Colts: RB Dylan Sampson, Tennessee
Colts Pro Bowl RB Johnathan Taylor has missed 10 games over the last two seasons, taking a beating as the feature back with little to no help from reserve RBs. Sampson, who tied for fourth in the nation with 22 rush touchdowns in 2024, is an absolute speed demon.
The addition of Sampson would take a load off of Taylor while giving Indianapolis a solid power and speed duo in the backfield.
46) Los Angeles Rams: DT Darius Alexander, Toledo
The Rams have had success drafting young players and playing them immediately along the defensive line, and 2025 will be no different.
Some saw Alexander as a first-round talent, and if he falls this far, Los Angeles would be wise to add him to their talented defensive line, which includes Kobie Turner, Byron Young, Jared Verse, and Braden Fiske.
47) Arizona Cardinals: WR Tre Harris, Ole Miss
A year after selecting WR Marvin Harrison Jr. in the first round, the Cardinals dip right back into the pass catcher market and take Harris. Arizona needs a No. 2 receiver to complement Harrison Jr. and Pro Bowl TE Trey McBride, and they get that in the former Rebel, who caught 60 passes for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns.
Though not the fastest receiver on the board, he separated well in the open field and was solidly built at 6’2″ and 205 pounds.
48) Miami Dolphins: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
This seems like a no-brainer if Amos is still on the board with this pick. The Dolphins have publicly been trying to trade CB Jalen Ramsey for weeks now and, despite not having any takers yet, don’t look to be fostering a reunion of any sort before next season.
It would be ideal to bring in Amos to help offset the loss of the aging Ramsey. The former Rebel has tremendous ball skills and tracks the ball extremely well, much like Ramsey.
49) Cincinnati Bengals: CB Azareye’h Thomas, Florida State
After taking pass-rusher Shemar Stewart in the first round, the Bengals continue to add to their defense, which struggled mightily last season. Thomas is a physical press corner and will presumably help defend WRs D.K. Metcalf, Jerry Jeudy, and Zay Flowers in the AFC North.
Thomas performed better statistically in the 2023 season, recording 10 pass breakups. He was thrown at much less last season but improved his tackling greatly, recording 53 total tackles — the second-best mark for the Seminoles.
50) Seattle Seahawks: WR Jaylin Noel, Iowa State
The departure of longtime slot receiver Tyler Lockett is filled immediately here, as Noel is the second Cyclones receiver taken in the second round. With sure hands and a tremendous route-running ability, he would thrive in offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s scheme.
51) Denver Broncos: C Jared Wilson, Georgia
Though it may not seem to be a position of need, the Broncos could surely benefit from better center play. Their starter for the past two seasons has been 2023 seventh-round pick Alex Forsyth, who, although far outplaying his seven-round status, has been average to below-average in his time with the Broncos.
Wilson’s talent at the position was evident immediately, as he helped the Bulldogs form one of the best offensive lines in college football.
52) Seattle Seahawks: T Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
After selecting interior offensive lineman Grey Zabel with the 18th overall pick, Seattle doesn’t wait long before grabbing another potential cornerstone offensive lineman. Ersery is massive, standing 6’6″, 331 pounds, and uses his strength to his advantage on the outside.
RELATED: Top 25 College Football Programs With the Most NFL Active Players: Alabama, LSU, and More
He first started playing football as a junior in high school, which led to some rawness and a lack of refinement in his game. Despite that, he possesses a high ceiling and is a worthy pick at this spot for Seattle.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: EDGE Jordan Burch, Oregon
After surprising many with selecting WR Emeka Egbuka in the first round, the Buccaneers will almost certainly go defense with this pick. Burch is amongst a tremendous second-round group of pass rushers and would fit in right away with a Tampa Bay unit lacking the ability to get to the QB.
The hope is that EDGE Haasan Reddick can regain some of the magic from two seasons ago, even though he’s signed a one-year deal. The hope is that Burch will grow into a long-term solution for the Bucs.
54) Green Bay Packers: CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame
The Packers surprised the league by selecting a wide receiver in the first round in Emeka Egbuka. In the second round, they begin their attempt to replace disgruntled CB Jaire Alexander, who is reportedly on the trade block.
Morrison’s talent is among the high-end corners in the draft, but combining his short arms and hip surgery that ended his 2024 season causes him to fall. Green Bay would be wise to nab the former Fighting Irish cave-man if he were to fall this far.
55) Los Angeles Chargers: DT Shemar Turner, Texas A&M
With DT Poona Ford gone, coach John Harbaugh and the Chargers look to plug Turner right into that position. Turner had much better 2023 stats, wise, than 2024, notching six sacks versus only two. However, that comes with a caveat, as the Aggies deployed a rotational defensive line strategy that affected the stats of other highly-rated Texas A&M defenders.
Despite that, Turner has a quick first step and is a consistent disruptor in the backfield. His high motor will get him a couple of sacks a year alone, and with continued development, he could be a monster in the middle.
56) Buffalo Bills: EDGE Alfred Collins, Texas
The Bills have an immediate need at defensive tackle, and they nabbed Collins at the end of the second round. The former Longhorn is massive, standing 6’6″ and 332 pounds, and proving to be a double-team eater in the middle.
Although he only recorded one sack in 2024, his versatility and athleticism suggest that he has the potential to grow in that area of his game.
57) Carolina Panthers: EDGE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
The Panthers, who were 30th in terms of sacks in 2024, must come away with pass-rushing talent in this draft. Scourton is a well-rounded player who could stand to contribute right away in Carolina.
He was extremely productive as a Purdue Boilermaker in 2023, amassing 10 sacks and 50 total tackles. He was a part of a pass rushing rotation in 2024 with the Aggies but still managed to tally five sacks.
58) Houston Texans: G Tate Ratledge, Georgia
Needing to shore up a porous offensive line in terms of pass protection, Ratledge lands with the Texans, who now have a surplus of picks in the second and third rounds due to the trade with the Giants.
Ratledge started 37 games at right guard for the Bulldogs, proving himself to be an excellent pass-blocker when he can anchor into position. He’s powerful at 6’7″, 308 pounds, and would serve well in Houston.
59) Baltimore Ravens: G Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona
At 6’4″, 324 pounds, Savaiinaea is a mauler on the inside and could fill an immediate need at guard for Baltimore. He was versatile with the Wildcats, lining up at right tackle, left tackle, and right guard.
It would be a fitting selection for Savaiinaea to end up blocking for a fellow tank, RB Derrick Henry.
60) Detroit Lions: WR Jack Bech, TCU
WR Tim Patrick filled the role of being a big pass catcher over the middle for the Lions in 2024. He signed a one-year deal for 2025, meaning he isn’t viewed as part of the team’s future.
Meanwhile, Bech would fit right in with the Lions’ offense as a physical possession receiver who can move the chains. Add in the positive intangibles of the former Horned Frogs WR, and Bech looks like a Lions draft pick.
61) Washington Commanders: EDGE Oluwafemi Oladejo, UCLA
Oladejo is a player who may slide in the draft despite having a high ceiling after switching from inside linebacker to the edge in 2024. The Commanders would love to scoop him up prior to the third round and add him to a pass-rushing unit that needs vast improvement next season.
The 6’3″, 259-pound Oladejo is a physical specimen and could be a star with further development.
62) Buffalo Bills: EDGE Landon Jackson, Arkansas
Jackson is one of the most athletic pass rushers in this class. He has shown the ability to get to the quarterback and set the edge against the run. He had 6.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons for the Razorbacks, showing consistency in the rugged SEC.
Top Landing Spots from 2025 NFL Draft Day 1: Jaxson Dart to New York Giants Steals the Spotlight
Buffalo has long needed a difference-making pass rusher since the failed Von Miller signing —they take a shot here in hopes that Jackson can help in that area.
63) Kansas City Chiefs: T Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College
With several more talented options off the board at the offensive tackle position, the Chiefs settle for Trapilo, who projects as a solid option at either side of the line. At 6’8″, he’s one of the tallest linemen in the draft but also has surprising hand quickness.
It’s never easy to be one of Mahomes’ protectors, as the microscope and pressure are on immediately. He may need a year of seasoning before being thrown into the lineup.
64) Philadelphia Eagles: TE Mason Taylor, LSU
The Eagles are operating at a position of power in this draft, with not a ton of needs and largely drafting for the best player available. Taylor represents that, as he has the potential to fall down draft boards and be passed up by more talented players.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is on the decline and may even be traded before the season; adding Taylor would be a hand-in-glove fit, filling in as one of many Philly pass-catchers.
Round 3
65) New York Giants: WR Isaiah Bond, Texas
After drafting Dart in the first round, the Giants need to add to their receiver room badly. Malik Nabers revealed himself as a star during his rookie season, but the cupboard is largely bare after him. Bond would be a solid addition as a depth piece and as a guy who can take the top off of the defense.
66) Kansas City Chiefs: WR Tai Felton, Maryland
Felton impressed at the Combine, recording tremendous marks in the 10-yard split (1.51 seconds) and 40-yard dash (4.37). With the Terrapins, he was used as more of an underneath threat, catching 96 passes for 1,124 yards a season ago.
But at 6’1″, 183 pounds, Felton would be a great addition to the Chiefs receiving room with the potential to grow into a star with QB Patrick Mahomes throwing him the ball.
67) Cleveland Browns: RB Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State
Cleveland’s running back room is filled with uncertainty, as it seems unlikely they’ll resign former Pro Bowl RB Nick Chubb. The position struggled mightily a season ago as the Browns shuffled through multiple backs. Judkins enters the league as a starting-level RB and should be able to help immediately for the Browns.
68) Las Vegas Raiders: DT T.J. Sanders, South Carolina
With reports citing that star DT Christian Wilkins may not be back in time for the 2025-26 season due to an ongoing foot injury, the Raiders land a potential short-term and long-term replacement in Sanders. The 6’4″, 290-pounder has scheme versatility and could take some of the pressure off All-Pro EDGE Maxi Crosby by eating up blocks on the interior.
69) New England Patriots: RB D.J. Giddens, Kansas State
The Patriots need a running back with some juice, and Giddens could give them that from Day 1. Coach Vrabel has no prior commitment to RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, who struggled last season. The addition of Giddens — who could rise to being the starter — will help New England immediately.
70) Jacksonville Jaguars: EDGE Bradyn Swinson, LSU
Swinson had 8.5 sacks as a fifth-year senior for the Tigers, finally blooming after three seasons with the Oregon Ducks and two with LSU. The 6’4″, 250-pounder wins with speed and quickness, which could pair well with fellow speedster Travon Walker and one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL in Josh Allen.
71) New Orleans Saints: QB Tyler Shough, Louisville
With starting QB Derek Carr dealing with shoulder issues that cloud his status for the 2025-26 season, the Saints pick Shough here and try their luck once again at hitting with a long-term passer.
Though New Orleans is said to believe in 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler, Shough, at 25 years old, would bring a different maturity to the group and could produce on the field quicker than most rookies.
72) Chicago Bears: DT Joshua Farmer, Florida State
An imposing figure in the middle, Farmer recorded 14 tackles for loss and eight sacks in two seasons as a starter at FSU. He has a strong upper body and can eat double teams, something the Bears will look for in this draft as they look to accentuate their pass rushers.
73) New York Jets: TE Terrance Ferguson, Oregon
The Jets badly need an infusion of youth at the TE position, and get that in Ferguson, a terrific receiving threat from Oregon. He’s the fastest TE in the draft, running a 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds.
QB Justin Fields needed more targets coming into the draft, and he gets one here in Ferguson, who can line up outside when needed and is excellent at finding open space in the middle of the field.
74) Carolina Panthers: S Kevin Winston Jr., Penn State
In need of a safety, Winston Jr. is a perfect match for what Carolina wants to do. An injury that cost him the majority of the 2024 season is the main culprit for the former Nittany Lions’ plummet in the draft, but make no mistake — Winston Jr. is extremely talented. He has a high ceiling as a third-round pick.
75) San Francisco 49ers: DT Ty Robinson, Nebraska
After seeing much of their interior defensive line depart in free agency, defensive tackle became a massive need for San Francisco. Robinson is a swift mover for his size at 6’6″, 310 pounds, and got to the QB at a high level, tallying seven sacks in 2024.
76) Dallas Cowboys: WR Elic Ayomanor, Stanford
There was hope that Dallas would address their need for a big, rangy wide receiver in the first round with Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillian. But the Cowboys pivoted after McMillan went off the board and took guard Tyler Booker.
At 6’2″, 206 pounds, Ayomanor is a physical specimen and the definition of a strong target on the outside. He makes highlight-reel contested catches and would complement star receiver Cede Lamb, albeit not necessarily possessing an All-Pro ceiling.
77) New England Patriots: WR Pat Bryant, Illinois
The Patriots badly lacked a deep threat for rookie QB Drake Make in 2024, and they get that here in Bryant. His 40-yard dash was deceiving (second-worst among WRs), as the Fighting Illini product ran away from defenders on tape and averaged 18.2 yards per catch last season.
78) Arizona Cardinals: EDGE Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss
After picking Walter Nolen in Round 1, the Cardinals take his teammate on the edge in Umanmielen. The 6’4″, 255-pounder was extremely successful in 2024, racking up 10.5 sacks and a forced fumble. He’s a speed rusher and could provide Arizona with some youthful pop on the edge.
79) Houston Texans: T Anthony Belton, NC State
The Texans gave up the 30th-most sacks per game in 2024 and added an accomplished, three-year college starter in Belton. The trade of left tackle Laremy Tunsil was questionable, but at 6’6″, 336 pounds, the former Wolfpack left tackle could slide right into that position and at a much cheaper price.
80) Indianapolis Colts: LB Demetrius Knight Jr., South Carolina
Knight Jr. isn’t the most athletic linebacker in the class, but he has tremendous vision in seeking out ball carriers. The Colts need depth at the linebacker position, and Knight Jr. gives them exactly that.
81) Cincinnati Bengals: RB Devin Neal, Kansas
The Bengals badly need a competent sidekick to take some of the load off of starting RB Chase Brown. Neal would be a nice complement besides the speedier Brown, as the former Jayhawk is a ball of power at 5’11”, 213 pounds.
He was Kansas’s bell cow in the last three seasons, running for over 4,000 yards in his career. He could serve as a short-yardage back in the short term and help solve some of the Bengals’ red zone issues at the goal line.
82) Seattle Seahawks: S Jonas Sanker, Virginia
Head coach Mike McDonald’s defense loves ultra-aggressive players, and that’s exactly what Sanker is. He’s a tremendous tackler from his safety position and can roam near the line of scrimmage and make plays.
83) Pittsburgh Steelers: CB Darien Porter, Iowa State
Pittsburgh’s CBs opposite Joey Porter Jr. struggled at times last season. Adding Porter (no relation) would be a smart decision, as they could ease him into that role of CB2 opposite a lockdown guy in Porter Jr.
84) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Quincy Riley, Louisville
The Buccaneers’ defensive backfield was ravaged with injuries last season, resulting in them giving up the third-most passing yards per game in the league. Riley is a fast and athletic corner with loads of potential.
85) Denver Broncos: TE Harold Fannin Jr., Bowling Green
Head coach Sean Payton has been adamant in his search for a versatile “H” player. They signed TE Evan Engram in the offseason, but at 30 years old, he’s more so the present than the future at that position.
Extremely versatile, athletic, and with great hands, Fannin would be an ideal fit for second-year QB Bo Nix as a new target.
86) Los Angeles Chargers: T Charles Grant, William & Mary
Though he played tackle for William & Mary, Grant projects to be a terrific guard and could sit for a year in Los Angeles before being a factor. Guard Mekhi Becton signed a two-year deal this offseason but has been inconsistent in his career — drafting Grant would make that signing as foolproof as possible and give them a guard in waiting.
87) Green Bay Packers: EDGE Sai’vion Jones, LSU
Jones is a prototypical pass rusher, standing 6’6″ and 280 pounds. The problem is that he couldn’t quite put it all together in four seasons with the Tigers, never totaling more than 4.5 sacks in a season. The Packers are shooting for upside here as they search for a game-changing pass rusher.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars: S Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma
General manager James Gladstone began the draft dealing, adding the dynamic Travis Hunter with the second overall pick. They continue to add to their much-maligned secondary after finishing 2024 dead last in passing yards allowed.
Bowman doesn’t have the best measurables, standing just 5’10”, but he makes plays, as evidenced by his 11 career interceptions with the Sooners—three of which were returned for touchdowns.
89) Houston Texans: CB Nohl Williams, Cal
Williams is an aggressive, strong corner from Cal and would be brought in as a depth player for Houston with the hope of developing into a CB2 role opposite shutdown CB Derek Stingley Jr., a spot Houston has had trouble filling in recent years.
90) Los Angeles Rams: TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame
With TE Tyler Higbee dealing with a variety of injuries this past season, the Rams need to look at adding an all-around player at that position. Evans is exactly that, as he’s a threat in the short and intermediate while being a solid blocker.
91) Baltimore Ravens: RB Cam Skattebo, Arizona State
After a slight lapse of RBs being selected, Skattebo begins a run of backs taken late in the third round. A physical back with receiving skills, the former Sun Devil could aid in spelling All-Pro RB Derrick Henry and be a part of the contingency plan once he retires.
92) Seattle Seahawks: QB Will Howard, Ohio State
With there being an out after only one season in newly signed QB Sam Darnold’s contract, the Seahawks have to plan for the future while keeping an eye on the present. Howard doesn’t pose an immediate threat to Darnold, but represents Seattle’s indecisiveness towards committing to the former Vikings passer.
93) New Orleans Saints: WR Savion Williams, TCU
Ever since Michael Thomas’ career came to a close, the Saints have been without a big-bodied receiver who can make defenders miss in the underneath passing game. They get that here in Williams, who is built more so like a big running back at 6’4″, 222 pounds.
94) Cleveland Browns: EDGE Ashton Gillotte, Louisville
The Browns continue infusing youth into their defensive line with the addition of Gillotte, who showed high production as a pass rusher in 2022 and 2023 (seven and 11 sacks, respectively) before disappointing in 2024 with only 4.5 takedowns. However, it’s worth taking the pick to see if he can regain that form for Cleveland.
95) Kansas City Chiefs: CB Jacob Parrish, Kansas State
Parrish greatly improved his draft stock at the combine, registering the fourth fastest 40-yard time, including an excellent 10-yard split mark of 1.51 seconds. Although he specialized on the outside with the Wildcats, he showed comfort when placed in the slot, which is likely where he’d be placed with Kansas City.
96) Philadelphia Eagles: EDGE Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Georgia
There are two things GM Howie Roseman loves to do in the draft: select defensive linemen and select Georgia Bulldogs players. He gets that here in Ingram-Dawkins, who showed promise despite only totaling four career sacks in four seasons.
97) Minnesota Vikings: RB R.J. Harvey, UCF
Starting RB Aaron Jones had a terrific season in 2024 but was clearly worn out by the end of the season after assuming a bell cow role. Minnesota just couldn’t get enough out of their reserve backs, but in this deep RB class, Harvey could provide immediate relief and bring some pop to the position for the Vikings.
98) Miami Dolphins: QB Kyle McCord, Syracuse
Though he’s not the most talented QB left on the table, McCord played in a quick-decision type of offense with the Orange, as the Dolphins play. Not necessarily viewed as a Tua Tagovailoa replacement in the short term, Miami has to field a competent backup, and McCord would fit that bill.
99) Houston Texans: RB Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech
The Texans have a workhorse back in Joe Mixon, but each year he seems to lose a step. Though still an effective RB, Tuten would provide a burst at that position that hasn’t been there in recent years. The former Hokie ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine.
100) San Francisco 49ers: LB Chris Paul Jr., Ole Miss
Though the 49ers have a plan to replace the departed Dre Greenlaw with third-year man Dee Winters, it wouldn’t hurt to add another playmaker at that position. Paul Jr. registered 86 total tackles and 3.5 sacks for the Rebels in 2024.
101) Atlanta Falcons: WR Tory Horton, Colorado State
Depth has been an issue for the Falcons at the receiver position; with Horton, he could immediately step in as the third or fourth option and help ease the load off of top wideout Drake London.
102) Detroit Lions: RB Damien Martinez, Miami
With David Montgomery dealing with injuries in 2024 and looking to be on the wrong end of his career, the Lions get a jump on replacing him with Martinez, who can sit and learn for a year before jumping into a rotation with star RB Jahmyr Gibbs.
