The 2025 Senior Bowl is officially in the books! A crucial part of the pre-draft evaluation, Tuesday through Thursday welcomed three competitive padded practices with the event reaching its conclusion on Saturday with the annual game. The festivities in Mobile have had a drastic impact on this week's 2025 NFL mock draft, with one standout rising approximately 15 spots and another talent who confirmed himself as a top-15 selection.
The Super Bowl LIX matchup is set between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. The remaining 30 franchises are focused on improving this offseason. The realistic way to achieve that goal is via the 2025 NFL Draft.
Please note that you can click on each player's name to read their full scouting report.
2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. New York Giants
Cam Ward, QB, Miami
TRADE:
NYG receives: 1.1, 2026 5th
TEN receives: 1.3, 3.65, 2026 1st, 2026 3rd
The Giants make the aggressive trade-up. Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll can't risk leaving this draft without their franchise quarterback. Cam Ward possesses the arm talent, size, and off-script ability required to be the first quarterback selected.
2. Cleveland Browns
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
The Browns take the patient approach and select Travis Hunter, the best overall player in the draft. I could see Cleveland being a landing spot for Kirk Cousins following his release in Atlanta. Hunter would immediately bring some much-needed star power to the franchise.
3. Tennessee Titans
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
TRADE:
TEN receives: 1.3, 3.65, 2026 1st, 2026 3rd
NYG receives: 1.1, 2026 5th
Titans president Chad Brinker says the franchise would love to have 12 top-100 picks in the next three years. They come closer to achieving that goal by trading down here. Abdul Carter is an elite talent at a premium position of need for Tennessee after Dennard Wilson's defense struggled to rush the passer in 2024.
4. New England Patriots
Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan
Many have the Patriots drafting an offensive lineman, but unfortunately for Drake Maye, there isn't one worth taking this high. Instead, Mike Vrabel and the Patriots take a best player available approach and draft Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. Vrabel understands the importance of a dominant 3-tech after coaching Jeffery Simmons in Tennessee.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Jacksonville's pass defense allowed a league-high 257.4 passing yards per contest. Will Johnson is the best pure cornerback in the draft. Johnson would immediately step into a starring role opposite Tyson Campbell.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Pete Carroll wants the Raiders to win immediately. That means they must attack the quarterback position. Shedeur Sanders is a throwback pocket passer who wins with rhythm, timing, and accuracy. Carroll and Tom Brady will appreciate his skill set.
7. New York Jets
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
New regimes place emphasis on hitting with their debut first-round pick, often causing them to go the safe route. Tyler Warren is an incredibly safe prospect with a high floor. Warren is a difference-maker in the passing game, where he uses size and athleticism to defeat coverages thrown his way.
8. Carolina Panthers
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Bryce Young flashed promise down the stretch, prompting the Panthers to continue investing in his development. Tetairoa McMillan is a quarterback's dream. McMillan uses his towering frame to dominate at the catch point, but he's also incredibly twitchy off the line of scrimmage for his size.
9. New Orleans Saints
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
The Saints drafted Taliese Fuaga last season and moved him to left tackle. Now, they address the hole at right tackle by selecting Armand Membou. Membou measured in at the Senior Bowl with over 34-inch arms, indicating he could remain at tackle.
10. Chicago Bears
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Josh Simmons remains in contention for OT1 despite suffering a season-ending knee injury. New Bears head coach Ben Johnson understands the importance of great offensive tackle play after coaching Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker in Detroit. It's all about protecting Caleb Williams this offseason.
11. San Francisco 49ers
Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
The aging Leonard Floyd will be entering a contract year and the Drake Jackson pick hasn't planned out. Jalon Walker is a versatile front-seven defender who would fit well into Robert Saleh's scheme. Walker's first-step quickness gives him a high ceiling as a pass rusher.
12. Dallas Cowboys
Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia
The Cowboys could use more playmakers in the secondary. New DC Matt Eberflus had excellent safeties in Chicago, making the position a priority for him. Malaki Starks is among the safest prospects in the entire draft, with back-end versatility.
13. Miami Dolphins
Walter Nolen, IDL, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen was downright unblockable at times throughout his time at the Senior Bowl. The Dolphins still haven't addressed Christian Wilkins' departure. Nolen would command attention up the middle, freeing Chop Robinson, Bradley Chubb, and Jaelan Phillips on the edges.
14. Indianapolis Colts
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Upgrades at cornerback have eluded GM Chris Ballard in recent years. The Colts need to keep addressing the position until they get it right. Texas CB Jahdae Barron attached a jetpack to his pre-draft stock throughout the College Football Playoff.
15. Atlanta Falcons
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Falcons recorded a second-worst-in-the-NFL 31 sacks in 2024. Pass rushers are needed. Shemar Stewart is an easy mover at 280-plus pounds, giving him as high of a ceiling as any defensive lineman in this class.
16. Arizona Cardinals
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon needs difference-makers at EDGE to maximize his scheme. Mike Green is a big-time riser after the Senior Bowl. Proving he belonged alongside big-school competition solidified his standing as a first-round pick.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The 2024 season was a write-off for the Bengals in 2024. In 2025, they'll expect to be postseason contenders again. Part of the plan could include diversifying their offense. Chase Brown is an effective back, but the Bengals also traded for Khalil Herbert, showing a willingness to field a timeshare. Ashton Jeanty would make their offense significantly more difficult to defend.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Will Campbell, OL, LSU
Will Campbell looked more like a guard on tape to me and didn't quite meet his lofty expeditions this past season. The Seahawks desperately need starters at guard though, and Campbell could be plug-and-play for a struggling front.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Mykel Williams is still scratching the surface of his potential. Landing in Tampa Bay with Todd Bowles would be ideal. The Buccaneers are preparing to lose a couple defensive linemen to free agency.
20. Denver Broncos
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
This selection is all about investing in Bo Nix's development. Colston Loveland is a capable three-down tight end. Loveland is being slightly underrated throughout this process after being a victim of the Michigan offense in 2024.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Luther Burden III would be an excellent complement underneath the coverage to what George Pickens does deep down the field. The Steelers are an underrated landing spot for a second-round QB like Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe. Getting more weapons in the fold is a critical priority.
22. Los Angeles Chargers
Derrick Harmon, IDL, Oregon
A Jim Harbaugh defense is always tough up the middle. Interior linemen Poona Ford and Morgan Fox are among their unrestricted free agents. Derrick Harmon would be an outstanding addition, a powerful defender with strength and quickness.
23. Green Bay Packers
Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Will Jaire Alexander ever be himself again? The two-time Pro Bowler is suffering from recurring injuries. The Packers desperately need a new CB1. Benjamin Morrison is a technically advanced boundary corner.
24. Minnesota Vikings
Deone Walker, IDL, Kentucky
Deone Walker has a little boom-or-bust to his game. When he was at his best at the Senior Bowl, he was keeping his pad level low, using his 340-pound frame to overwhelm blockers. Landing in Minnesota with Brian Flores would be a best-case scenario for his development.
25. Houston Texans
Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
The Texans' interior offensive line was a full-blown disaster this year. C.J. Stroud was consistently under duress. Donovan Jackson proved he could play tackle toward the conclusion of Ohio State's National Championship-winning season, but Houston would play him at his more natural guard position in this scenario.
26. Los Angeles Rams
Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas
Kelvin Banks Jr. has some tackle-guard flexibility. With Alaric Jackson slated for a payday in free agency, the Rams go with a cheap replacement at left tackle. Banks Jr. is athletic with high-level physical tools.
27. Baltimore Ravens
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Tackles go back-to-back. Ronnie Stanley had a terrific season for the Ravens, but can they trust him to stay healthy, given his history? Patrick Mekari is another offensive lineman on an expiring deal. Josh Conerly Jr. would immediately start opposite Roger Rosengarten, giving the Ravens a pair of bookend tackles on rookie deals.
28. Detroit Lions
Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
A lack of depth at the pass-rushing positions hurt the Lions following injuries to Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill. Enter Princely Umanmielen, a big-time winner at the Senior Bowl's weigh-in process, clocking in at 264 pounds with arms longer than 34 inches. Umanmielen is explosive when rushing the passer.
29. Washington Commanders
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Jayden Daniels deserves another weapon next to Terry McLaurin. The Commanders are set up nicely for the future, and adding more pass-catchers will be a priority this offseason. Emeka Egbuka is an outstanding route-runner who catches every target thrown his way.
30. Buffalo Bills
Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Rasul Douglas is on an expiring contract and we can officially call Kaiir Elam a bust. The Bills aren't going to beat the Chiefs without cornerbacks. Shavon Revel Jr. is a first-round corner despite currently recovering from an in-season torn ACL.
31. Philadelphia Eagles
Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama
The Eagles have built a dominant offensive line because Howie Rossman is always willing to invest more resources. They took a flier on Mekhi Becton to play guard last offseason and that decision has paid handsomely. With Becton set for a raise in free agency, the Eagles simply draft Tyler Booker—a powerful, mauling guard—and insert him into the lineup.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
George Karlaftis has been excellent throughout the postseason, but the Chiefs posted a 37% pass-rush win-rate during the regular season. James Pearce Jr. is an athletic pass rusher. He is still developing as a run defender, but his quickness and flexibility in the passing game would be an asset right away.
