NFL Mock Draft 2025: Post-Senior Bowl

author image

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.
