The NFL draft has flourished into one of the most exciting and anticipated events in sports. While NFL teams scout collegiate players around the clock, there's never a bad time to predict what the first round could potentially look like eight months from now. This list of teams could look quite different after the trials of the NFL season, but let's have some fun with this 2025 NFL Mock Draft!
Please note that the draft order is set using the reverse order of Super Bowl betting odds. Click on each player's name to read their full scouting report.
2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Patriots must build around Drake Maye and need a left tackle. Chukwuma Okorafor will be a free agent in 2025, and Caden Wallace is a more natural right tackle. Will Campbell adds an athletic technician to Maye’s blindside while allowing Wallace to move back to the right.
2. Carolina Panthers
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
When the Panthers traded away Brian Burns, they lost a difference-maker at the pass rusher position. Adding Abdul Carter to the defensive line potentially replaces that with his pass-rush acumen and freaky athletic ability.
3. Denver Broncos
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Baron Browning and Jonathon Cooper are slated to hit free agency in 2025. Mykel Williams is a high football IQ EDGE with high pass-rush upside to build a defensive line around.
4. New York Giants
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Daniel Jones’ contract gives the Giants an out after the 2024 season, and they'll happily take it. For Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka, Shedeur Sanders' confidence, arm talent, and post-snap processing will be a welcome sight.
5. Tennessee Titans
Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd are free agents in 2025, Treylon Burks hasn't developed to where you hoped, and Calvin Ridley is another year older. Giving Will Levis an electric playmaker in Luther Burden III makes everything easier.
6. Washington Commanders
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Dan Quinn immediately loved Mike Sainristil and the mentality that he'd bring to the Commanders' defense. Boundary corner is a huge need and what better way to help fix that than to draft our highest-ranked player, shutdown corner Will Johnson, and put him with an ex-Michigan teammate? Everyone’s happy.
7. New Orleans Saints
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Building through the trenches saw the Saints rise to one of the most consistent teams of the past decade. Trevor Penning isn’t working out and Taliese Fuaga is attempting to help out in any way he can, switching to the left side. Kelvin Banks Jr. solves multiple potential issues.
8. Las Vegas Raiders
Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
The Raiders desperately need a quarterback to change the tides of their sinking offense. Carson Beck brings new life to an offense devoid of arm talent and ball placement while giving the fan base optimism in their new leader.
9. Minnesota Vikings
Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan
Brian Flores routinely squeezes more out of defense than you’d expect with his havoc-creating style. Inserting Mason Graham into Flores’ defense gives them a gap merchant who could live in the backfield and someone who they could build their pass rush around.
10. Arizona Cardinals
Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
Kyler Murray is signed through the 2028 season and has dealt with his fair share of injuries throughout his career. Jonah Williams’ career has been on a downturn lately and shouldn't stand in the way of drafting the highest-rated tackle on the board. Emery Jones Jr. and Paris Johnson Jr. will anchor the offensive line for the present and future.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
The Buccaneers need a corner to stick opposite Jamel Dean and with Chris Godwin a free agent in 2025, Hunter makes a ton of sense for the Buccaneers on that side of the ball as well. His coverage versatility and quick-twitch ability will make him an asset as a corner, but if Tampa fills the position in free agency, he can compete on offense. A win-win.
12. Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
It’s time to fix the tight end position in Indianapolis. With news last week of Jelani Woods having another surgery, they need to solidify the position. Colston Loveland is a great fit for Shane Steichen’s offense and would give Anthony Richardson a versatile, athletic ball-winner at the tight end position.
13. Seattle Seahawks
Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
The offensive line has been a large talking point for the Seattle offense with Geno Smith’s career rejuvenation. Laken Tomlinson is a free agent in 2025 and Donovan Jackson is a set-it-and-forget-it guard with his scheme versatility, athletic ability, and football IQ.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are free agents in 2025, and optimism that one of them will improve enough to be a franchise quarterback is low. Jalen Milroe is an uber athlete with sky-high upside, similar to a quarterback Mike Tomlin has coached against for years.
15. Jacksonville Jaguars
Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Jaguars are set to lose one or both of their left tackle options with Cam Robinson and Walker Little being pending free agents—and their offensive line woes are well documented. Aireontae Ersery’s upside and physicality, combined with his scheme versatility, would make a great bookend with Anton Harrison.
16. Los Angeles Chargers
Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Chargers' defense needs a talent injection, and both Asante Samuel Jr. and Kristian Fulton will be free agents in 2025. Benjamin Morrison adds a long boundary corner with top-tier technique to the Chargers' back end to potentially pair with Samuel Jr. if extended.
17. Cleveland Browns
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Cleveland has four wide receivers, including Amari Cooper, as 2025 free agents, and Jerry Jeudy is a wild card. Tetairoa McMillan is a zone-beating savant with great size and hands that would fit perfectly into Kevin Stefanski’s offense.
18. Chicago Bears
Walter Nolen, IDL, Ole Miss
The Gervon Dexter Sr. experiment in Chicago had promise with his talent, but the Bears need to add an interior defender with pass-rush juice to complement Montez Sweat. Walter Nolen has excellent first-step quickness with violent hands and can live in gaps to stop the run and impact the quarterback.
19. Los Angeles Rams
Sebastian Castro, CB, Iowa
The Rams brought in Tre’Davoius White to see what he left in the tank after being released from Buffalo. His contract is up in 2025, and Sebastian Castro would add a versatile, physical presence to pair with Darious Williams to build up the secondary in L.A.
20. Miami Dolphins
Deone Walker, IDL, Kentucky
The loss of Christian Wilkins will be felt longer than just the 2024 NFL season, and the Dolphins could use a defensive tackle that will help Jaelen Phillips and Chop Robinson see one-on-ones. Deone Walker is that tackle.
21. Atlanta Falcons
Patrick Payton, EDGE, Florida State
The Falcons brought in Matthew Judon to help them push for the 2024 NFL season, but he and Lorenzo Carter are free agents in 2025. Bralen Trice will be coming off an injury, and the Falcons can form their future pass-rush duo by adding Patrick Payton to the mix.
22. New York Jets
Conner Weigman, QB, Texas A&M
Aaron Rodgers can’t play forever. Whether the Jets have a good season, everyone keeps their jobs, and he comes back, or they crash and burn, and everyone is gone, they will need a QB to take over for Rodgers. Conner Weigman can be that guy.
23. Green Bay Packers
Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon
The Packers flipped the script on offense, wholly revamped the room, and injected it with young talent. Eric Stokes is a free agent in 2025 and cutting Jaire Alexander could save the Packers a lot of money, allowing the Packers to start over with Jabbar Muhammad, who has the skills to be a shut-down NFL corner.
24. Buffalo Bills
Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia
The Bills went through a transition period in 2024 and ushered in a plan to get younger across the defense. Cole Bishop is a great chess piece for Sean McDermott’s defense, and adding Malaki Starks, one of the best pure defenders who can allow Bishop to be moved around underneath, would be a great start.
25. Dallas Cowboys
Antwane Wells Jr., WR, Ole Miss
CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, and quarterback Dak Prescott will be free agents in 2025. We expect deals with two of those players to be done, but that still leaves a massive talent gap at wide receiver. Antwane Wells Jr. brings a versatile, speedy after-the-catch threat to take advantage of the space created by Lamb’s gravity.
26. Cincinnati Bengals
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Trey Hendrickson asked the Bengals for a trade this past offseason, Sam Hubbard will be another year older and can save $9.6 million against the cap with a release, and Myles Murphy’s rookie season didn’t live up to expectations. James Pearce Jr. is a raw athlete but highly talented and would give the Bengals a high-upside young EDGE to build the pass rush around.
27. Houston Texans
Kenneth Grant, IDL, Michigan
The Texans have a top-tier pass rush duo formed at EDGE with Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. They could use a defensive tackle with three-down upside and unreal athletic ability. DeMeco Ryans will have so much fun with these guys.
28. Philadelphia Eagles
Jonah Savaiinaea, OT/OG, Arizona
Building through the trenches is the Howie Roseman way of life. Mekhi Becton is competing with Tyler Steen for the RG position and will be a free agent in 2025. The future of Lane Johnson is looming. Jonah Savaiinaea gives the Eagles some flexibility for the immediate and future needs of the offensive line.
29. Detroit Lions
Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Aiden Hutchinson has a lot on his shoulders that Marcus Davenport, a free agent in 2025, can’t alleviate. There’s not much depth at EDGE in Detroit, and Nic Scourton would add a ready-made NFL run defender, developing juice as a pass-rusher that the Lions need for the future.
30. Baltimore Ravens
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Ravens have shown great confidence in Rashod Bateman, who has yet to live up to his billing, and lose Nelson Agholor in free agency in 2025. Emeka Egbuka would add an intermediate/zone beater and tough yards-after-catch player who can take advantage of all the space created by Baltimore’s offense.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
The 49ers have a dilemma in their cornerback room. Charvarius Ward will be a free agent in 2025 and they are trying to fill the second cornerback spot with either Rock Ya-Sin or Issac Yiadom. Adding a fluid zone corner is a good starting point for rebuilding that room.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech
After the loss of L’Jarius Sneed, the cornerback room in Kansas City needs high-end talent in addition to Trent McDuffie. Mansoor Delane would add a high-IQ, willing tackler who can compete on the outside and has a versatile skill set to can play where needed.
