The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Joshua Farmer, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Joshua Farmer’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Joshua Farmer is one of the highest-ceiling DT prospects in the Day 2 range. Physically, he checks almost every box.
At 6’3″, 305 pounds, with 35″ arms, he has an elite combination of natural leverage and proportional length, and as his athletic testing corroborated — a 5.11 40-yard dash, a 29″ vertical, and a 9’4″ broad jump — he has the explosiveness to quickly get downhill and penetrate gaps.
That explosion and length took over when he had runways to pursue plays in college. He’s still very much up-and-down in terms of operational consistency, and despite his natural leverage, his high-hipped frame can cause him to drift upright with his pad level.
Nevertheless, as an even-front defensive tackle or an odd-front end, he’s a worthwhile developmental player with a high ceiling.
Joshua Farmer’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Farmer landed in Round 3 with the 99th overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
Joshua Farmer isn’t the flashiest prospect, but he can two-gap with some of the best in the class and would instantly boost the Giants’ run defense.
And on CSN’s 2025 NFL Mock Draft for Day 3, Farmer was selected with the 130th pick in Round 4 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Previously, CSN’s Bjorn Bergstrom had this to say about Farmer’s selection in a mock draft:
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.
