The 2025 NFL Draft is just over a week away, and the order in which the next generation of NFL stars will be taken remains a mystery. Players have been talked up and then back down again as narratives ebb and flow during the pre-draft process. Some players have been linked with the same team repeatedly, while others have been impossible to pin down.
In my latest two-round mock draft, I’ve attempted to avoid some of the chalkier picks (Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos). While I couldn’t avoid every trend, this will hopefully provide refreshing reading for a few fanbases.

1) Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
Okay, so this one is about as chalky as it gets, but it’s also the pick that has the least amount of mystery surrounding it.
Ward seems pretty confident of his chances of being taken first overall and told the Tennessee Titans front office as much during his Pro Day. Ward possesses a calm, almost languid demeanor when under pressure, with the arm talent to fire accurate passes from any angle.
The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants have reportedly thought twice about taking a gamble on a quarterback with their opening picks. However, while those two teams have added veteran insurance, the Titans have been mostly dormant in the free-agent quarterback market.
While a work in progress, Ward has franchise-changing upside.
2) Cleveland Browns
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
I had the Browns trading back and taking Shedeur Sanders at five in my last mock. Here, they add a truly elite pass-rushing prospect to pair with Myles Garrett.
My reasoning for picking Sanders last time was that the Browns must have persuaded Garrett that they could compete one way or another. While a quarterback is still required at some point, sometimes it’s better to be phenomenal in one area than be decent everywhere.
After the team’s owner, Jimmy Haslam, publicly referred to the Deshaun Watson trade as “a big swing and a miss” recently, I began to doubt that they would immediately swing again with Sanders. Carter is a safe prospect who could turn a good Browns defense into a great one.
3) New York Giants
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Sanders was an option here, too, but Giants general manager Joe Schoen’s career is reliant on the team being competitive in 2025. Hunter is the second blue-chip prospect off the board and, like Carter in Cleveland, would give the Giants one of the league’s best partnerships.
In this case, though, Hunter would be paired up with 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers to give New York one of the best receiving duos in football. The acceleration of both players would give the offense an advantage on every passing down. Hunter also possesses incredible body control and contested-catch ability and is arguably an elite receiver prospect without his dual-threat ability.
That versatility is more than just a bonus, though. Hunter would immediately be one of the best young corners in the NFL, with the team having to decide where his primary focus should be. The historical significance of a draft selection is never clear at the time, but Hunter has the potential to be a generation-defining prospect in the NFL.
4) New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The New England Patriots have given Drake Maye some receiving help in the form of former Buffalo Bills Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins; now they need to give him time to find them. Veteran tackle Morgan Moses was signed to a one-year deal, while Demontrey Jacobs has also signed for one year after starting 13 games at tackle for the Patriots last season.
Will Campbell would step straight into New England’s offensive line, and the team will hope he can be a cornerstone of Maye’s protection for years to come. He’s a pro-ready starting offensive lineman with the potential to make Pro Bowls, whether it ends up being at tackle or guard.
Campbell is a step below a blue-chip prospect at the offensive tackle position, but he’s worthy of a top-10 pick when you factor in his experience for his age and his positional value.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense was abysmal against the pass in 2024. The team ranked dead last in net yards allowed per pass attempt, dead last in first downs allowed through the air, and had the third-fewest interceptions.
Georgia’s Jalon Walker had a dominant 2024 season, winning the Butkus Award. He led the Bulldogs in tackles for loss with 11 and sacks with 6.5. Walker also totaled 60 tackles, good for fourth-best on his team. Additionally, he finished the season with 23 total pressures and 13 quarterback hurries.
Jacksonville blitzed at the lowest rate of any team in 2024, so its low quarterback pressure rate could be slightly misleading. Nevertheless, new defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile preached “violence” upon landing the Jaguars job, making the first-team All-American a perfect fit.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
The Raiders’ running game was so bad in 2024 that it was incredibly difficult not to put Ashton Jeanty here. But in a deep running back class, Mason Graham provides the team with an opportunity to pivot and build a dominant defensive line.
Graham is a high-impact player with the speed, quickness, and power to disrupt the game in both phases. Graham may not have the ceiling of a player like Jalen Carter, who athletically has more to offer, but his knack for interior penetration and stout run defending will make him an instant key contributor in the NFL.
After signing the face of its franchise, Maxx Crosby, to a massive new deal during the offseason, the Raiders can double down in Round 1. If veteran defensive tackle Christian Wilkins could return to full health to join Crosby and Graham in 2025, Las Vegas’ defense could be trouble for the AFC West.
7) New York Jets
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
I went offensive line here in my last mock and maintain that it would be a good idea. But after Garrett Wilson, new quarterback Justin Fields currently has very little to throw to. Tyler Warren is a dominant receiving tight end while also being an incredibly effective contributor in the run game.
There are plenty of versatile players in the NFL, but few are as dominant in multiple areas as Warren. The team gets a devastating pass catcher to pair with Wilson while also adding an extra run blocker and an offensive Swiss army knife at the same time.
Jeanty would be a big temptation here, but career longevity, versatility, and team need win out.
8) Dallas Cowboys
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
*Trade: Dallas sends Nos. 12 and 44 to Carolina in exchange for Nos. 8, 74, and 146.
After Jeanty falls past both the Raiders and the Jets, the Dallas Cowboys make a move to get their guy. I feel the Cowboys would need to move ahead of the Chicago Bears if they wanted Jeanty in this scenario. And, for reasons that will become clear, the New Orleans Saints weren’t budging.
Dallas neglected its running back room in 2024 and paid the price. Only two teams managed fewer rushing yards per attempt than the Cowboys did last season (4.0), while none scored fewer rushing touchdowns (six).
The team’s starting running back, Rico Dowdle, is now with the Carolina Panthers after being allowed to leave in free agency. And the team’s efforts to replace him have so far failed to inspire, making this a very plausible landing spot for Jeanty. With Dak Prescott healthy and an elite running-back prospect lining up beside him, the Cowboys could get back to their winning ways in 2025.
9) New Orleans Saints
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
I originally penciled in this pick with the idea that Sanders could sit for a year. But with Derek Carr now trending towards missing the 2025 season with a shoulder injury, Sanders could find himself thrust into a starting role.
I do not doubt that Sanders has the mental strength to deal with an immediate starting job, but it would be ideal for him to iron out a few creases before being folded in half by NFL pass rushers.
The Saints have continued to push their financial problems into the future (why pay if you don’t have to, right?) and reportedly restructured Carr’s deal again during the offseason. With a now-desperate need at quarterback, Sanders would allow the Saints to compete in 2025, while his rookie contract would allow them to balance the books in the long term.
10) Miami Dolphins
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
*Trade: Miami sends Nos. 13, 98, 135, and 224 to Chicago for Pick No. 10.
The Dolphins have work to do following the retirement of veteran left tackle Terron Armstead. The team has already added notable pieces to its offensive line, but the chance to land Missouri’s Armand Membou is worth trading up for.
Arguably, no college offensive lineman in the country faced more high-quality pass rushers on their schedule than Membou in 2024. Likewise, no blocker consistently found a way to disallow pressures and sacks against top-notch competition the way Membou did.
It feels as though the window may be closing for Miami, with several key stars either over or approaching 30. Membou gives the Dolphins an immediate starter in a key position while giving them one less thing to address when the time comes to tear it down.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Membou would have been a great addition to the San Francisco 49ers, but with multiple gaping holes appearing in free agency, the team doesn’t need to trade up for a specific need.
Will Johnson’s physical tools are obvious, but his playmaking mentality and route recognition make him a seriously valuable prospect. He gets the most out of his tools because of his aggression in coverage. That can come back to bite him sometimes, but more often than not, it helps him make plays other cornerbacks simply can’t.
Johnson is considered by many to be on par with Hunter in the cornerback class. While he wouldn’t be running routes for Brock Purdy, he’d give the 49ers a big presence in the secondary.
12) Carolina Panthers
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
*Trade: Carolina Receives Nos. 12 and 44 from Dallas in exchange for Nos. 8, 74, and 146.
I’ve had the Carolina Panthers trading back in the first round of both of my mock drafts, and I think it would be wise. In a strong defensive line class, Carolina moves up 30 spots on Day 2 for the price of a fifth-rounder and a small inconvenience in Round 1.
This is as high as I’ve seen Walter Nolen in a mock draft, so maybe I’m too bullish, but nothing plants a defensive foundation like a dominating defensive tackle. Nolen’s 6.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2024 are monster numbers for an interior defensive lineman and led to consensus All-American honors.
Carolina recently tied down defensive playmaker Jaycee Horn to an extension. Adding Nolen (and the team’s extra second-round pick from Dallas) to a defense with him and the recently acquired Tre’von Moehrig would see a competitive defense begin to appear.
13) Chicago Bears
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
*Trade: Chicago receives Nos. 13, 98, 135, and 224 from Miami in exchange for No. 10.
This, again, may be bullish. But I have been wondering how high Omarion Hampton would be getting projected if it wasn’t for Jeanty. Sticking at No. 10 and taking Membou would have been an option, but a team plugging gaps in free agency often suggests they have other plans in the draft.
Therefore, I’m giving them Hampton here. After two years of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, I’m not sure that D’Andre Swift moves the needle for Ben Johnson. The Bears have a competitive defense when they’re all focusing on the play and not the opposition fans (still too soon?), so they can afford to splash out on offense.
Hampton combines blistering home-run ability with the bruising power that weakens defenses over time. If Johnson wants his new offense to dominate as the Detroit Lions did, he’ll need dominant players like Hampton.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
It feels as though the Indianapolis Colts have been linked with a new tight end since the dawn of time. In Tetairoa McMillan, the team instantly gets a new big-bodied target for Anthony Richardson, though not in the form that most seem to expect.
At No. 14, McMillan represents great value as an alpha receiver who could immediately lay claim to the top spot in Indianapolis. His smooth route-running and outstanding hands make his dominant displays look effortless.
The Colts will face a decision regarding Michael Pittman Jr. in 2026, with the option to save $24 million in cap space with a post-June 1 cut. Josh Downs flashed in 2024, as did Alec Pierce, while 2024 second-round pick Adonai Mitchell should take a leap in Year 2. McMillan would be the pick of the bunch, though, and allow the team to move on from the league’s 15th-highest annual earner at the position (per Over The Cap).
15) Atlanta Falcons
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Atlanta Falcons need to address their defense, particularly their pass rush. The Falcons managed the second-fewest sacks in the NFL last season and pressured opposing quarterbacks at the eighth-lowest rate.
The team added numbers to its secondary in free agency while also acquiring veteran pass rusher Leonard Floyd. Atlanta would still be short on its defensive line, but partnering Floyd with the terrifyingly athletic Shemar Stewart would be a solid start.
Stewart is a dichotomy between a safe prospect and a dangerous one. The upside is conceivably astronomical. His frame and violent potential might only be rivaled by J.J. Watt, who was arguably the best player in the NFL during his prime, healthy years.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The Arizona Cardinals, like the Falcons, signed veteran pass-rushing help in free agency, adding 2024 Super Bowl winner Josh Sweat. And, like the Falcons, I’m giving them a dynamic young edge defender to help maximize his impact.

Still raw on the technical front, Williams should continue to grow in that area in the NFL. But with all of the physical tools and a relentless motor, his ceiling is arguably as high as any. The Cardinals lost several pieces of their defensive front in free agency, but pairing Williams with Sweat would be a great way to recover.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
No need to overthink this one. The Bengals need to find defensive reinforcements after committing to their high-powered offense in free agency. Jahdae Barron is not only one of the most talented players available here but also one of the most versatile.
Barron’s impact was consistently visible on a snap-to-snap basis for the Longhorns’ impressive SEC debut. Primarily dominating as an outside corner, Barron was not only a lockdown player in coverage but also a turnover-producing machine, with five interceptions in 2024.
At 5’11” and with a disappointing vertical jump (35 inches) at the NFL Scouting Combine, Barron will likely see more snaps inside than out in the NFL, but he projects as an instant difference-maker at the next level.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Not too much to overthink here either; the Seattle Seahawks need help on their offensive line. Geno Smith was sacked 50 times in 2024, the third-most of any quarterback. The team’s new starter, Sam Darnold, wilted under the pressure of the Los Angeles Rams pass rush in January, getting sacked nine times and committing two turnovers.
If the Seahawks are going to find out what they have in Darnold, they’ll need to do a better job of protecting him than they did Smith. The team has two top receivers in Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp and could have a successful passing game if Darnold stays upright.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
At No. 19, this would be the longest wait for an Alabama prospect to be drafted since 2008. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost starting linebacker K.J. Britt to free agency while veteran Lavonte David re-signed on a one-year deal.
While he’d likely step into Britt’s former role, Jihaad Campbell has the versatility and playmaking ability to improve the Tampa Bay defense rather than just plug a hole. Campbell’s 117 tackles in 2024 highlight his relentless pursuit. His 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, two passes defended, and two forced fumbles showcase his ability to shut offenses down.
20) Denver Broncos
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
The Broncos are arguably the most fun team to project in the 2025 NFL Draft. Having added to their already impressive defense in free agency, the team can splash out on top skill-position players.
After Courtland Sutton, four Broncos receivers finished within 10 targets of one another in 2024. While it’s not a bad idea to spread the ball around, it tells me that the team’s WR2 role was up for grabs, and nobody managed to separate themselves from the pack.
I wouldn’t envisage that being a problem for Matthew Golden, whose lightning-fast 40-yard dash (4.29 seconds) has pushed him up to where he should probably have already been in projections. With smooth routes, safe hands, and contested catch prowess, Golden could transform Denver’s passing game from Day 1.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
The Steelers have a few needs that they could address here, but I’m adding to their secondary with Nick Emmanwori. I’m assuming that the team signs Aaron Rodgers, though I’m not sure Mike Tomlin would want to gamble on Jaxson Dart here, regardless.
Emmanwori’s NFL Scouting Combine performance didn’t garner the same hype as Stewart’s, but perhaps it should have. His 6’3″ frame is stacked with agility and explosiveness, which helped him become one of the best defensive playmakers in the 2025 class.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Described as a “gift from the football Gods” by now Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, Kenneth Grant reunites with the man who coached him to a national title in 2023. The team’s 2022 fifth-round pick, Otito Ogbonnia, started all 17 games for the Chargers last season without recording a sack or tackle for loss.
Grant’s ridiculous athleticism at his size should make him a game-wrecker at the next level. The Chargers allowed 4.7 rushing yards per attempt in 2024, the sixth most in the league. In Grant, Harbaugh gets a player he already trusts as he looks to build a more aggressive, downfield defense.
23) Green Bay Packers
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Defensive tackle is a popular choice here, but the Green Bay Packers have Karl Brooks and 2022 first-round pick Devonte Wyatt to partner Kenny Clark on the interior.
Teams often remember the way their previous season came to an end. For Green Bay, it was a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles for which both their first-choice receiver and cornerback were unavailable through injury. The Packers have been patient with both Christian Watson and Jaire Alexander, but their absences cost them dearly when it mattered most.
Emeka Egbuka is a team-first receiver with exceptional route-running ability. His willingness to block in the run game makes him a great fit for Matt LaFleur’s offense. As does the fact that he stayed at Ohio State throughout college, despite possessing the talent to be an alpha elsewhere.
The Packers have shown considerable interest in high-end receivers during the pre-draft process, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them go to that well on Day 1.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks, Safety, Georgia
The Minnesota Vikings have had a solid free-agency period, re-signing several key pieces and adding to their offensive and defensive lines. The receiving corps remains together to give J.J. McCarthy some consistency to work with in his first season as the starter. The loss of safety Cam Bynum will need to be addressed, though, so Malaki Starks it is.
Starks’ track background shows up on every play he interferes with, whether he’s defending the pass or storming downfield to stop the run. With their remaining starting safety, Harrison Smith, now 36, the Vikings get a shiny new defensive chess piece while addressing a looming need to get younger at the position.
25) Houston Texans
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Josh Simmons had a hot start to the 2024 season, starting six games at left tackle and only allowing one QB hurry and no sacks in that stretch. His season was cut short against Oregon, however, after he suffered a torn patellar tendon.
That injury sees him slide a little in this mock draft, which suits the Houston Texans perfectly. Many talked about C.J. Stroud’s “second-season slump” in 2024, but I’m not sure he can be blamed for that. Stroud faced pressure on 28% of drop-backs and was sacked 52 times in 2024, the highest pressure rate faced and second-most sacks taken in the NFL.
Compare that to his rookie season, when he was pressured on 22% of drop-backs (13th-most) and was sacked 38 times (eighth-most), and it’s clear that his offensive line needs addressing. Five-time Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil is now with the Washington Commanders, making this an even easier pick for Houston.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Colston Loveland is another player who could easily be long gone by the time the Los Angeles Rams have their chance to pick. Another receiving option for Matthew Stafford seemed the logical fit here, but Tutu Atwell’s extension stopped me from adding a slot receiver.
Instead, the Rams add a big-bodied, middle-of-the-field threat to benefit from Puka Nacua and Davante Adams dominating the boundaries. The Rams weren’t far away from overcoming the Eagles in January, and having three big receivers that can impact every level of the field could take them one—or three—steps further in 2025.
27) Baltimore Ravens
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
The Baltimore Ravens don’t have too many glaring holes in their roster, but I’ve opted for a stud pass rusher.
Kyle Van Noy led the team with 12.5 sacks in 2024 but is now 34 years old and in the last year of his deal. The team took Odafe Oweh in the first round four years ago, meaning his contract is also an area of concern. With the future of both players needing to be addressed in one way or another, adding a top prospect here makes sense.
James Pearce Jr. put together back-to-back impressive seasons to finish his college career, making him a solid bet in Round 1.
28) Detroit Lions
Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
I’m not expecting the Detroit Lions to get cute here. The team already has an elite group of skill players on offense and should get defensive star Aidan Hutchinson back in 2025. Tyler Booker can step straight into the hole left by the free-agency loss of Kevin Zeitler.
Zeitler started 16 games for Detroit in 2024. Booker’s dominance in both the pass and run game should see him immediately earn the trust of Dan Campbell.
29) Washington Commanders
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
A former wide receiver, Green’s speed and agility helped him amass 17 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in 2024. His physical measurements will likely see him overlooked by some teams, but his production is impossible to ignore.
After losing Dante Fowler Jr., who led the team with 10.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2024, the Washington Commanders could take a chance on Green. The team could easily take a receiver here if they like the available options, but Fowler’s production is a lot to lose. The intriguing Green adds a speed element to the Commanders’ pass rush.
30) Buffalo Bills
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Though they made the AFC Championship Game again, the Buffalo Bills struggled against the run at times in 2024. DaQuan Jones has been a serviceable starter for the team but is now 33 years old and will be a free agent in 2026.
Buffalo has done an outstanding job of tying down its key stars during the offseason, particularly on defense. The Bills will also hope that defensive leader Matt Milano can join the team for a full season after returning from a long-term injury late last year.
Derrick Harmon would provide a reliable anchor for Buffalo’s impressive defensive playmakers to work around. Harmon also possesses some playmaking ability of his own, showcased by his 11 tackles for loss, five sacks, four passes defended, and two forced fumbles in 2024.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
The Kansas City Chiefs have taken chances with their offensive line in recent years, and you can’t argue with the results. That being said, they’ll be all too aware that they’ve now lost two recent Super Bowls due to offensive-line issues.
With a younger receiving corps starting to take shape, the Chiefs have to finally invest in protecting Patrick Mahomes if they’re to continue competing for titles. The team also has needs on defense, but there isn’t anywhere else to look but the offensive line here.
A first-team All-American in 2024, Josh Conerly Jr. allowed just nine total pressures in 2024 as Oregon earned the No. 1 seed with an unbeaten regular season.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Cornerback appears to be the obvious place to go here. The Eagles addressed their secondary in a big way in 2024, drafting Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean early. While their two rookies performed outstandingly, the team still relied on veteran Darius Slay to man the perimeter opposite Mitchell.
To maintain DeJean’s freedom to roam around the formation, the team will need to add an outside corner to replace Slay, who is now in Pittsburgh. Amos brings good size (6’1″, 195 pounds) and impressive coverage skills to complement Quinyon Mitchell on the opposite boundary.

The cowboys aren’t gonna move up to draft a RB!! That’s stupid, idc how good Ashton is, this draft is too loaded with RBs to waste picks to move up to get one!! They can move down and get an extra pick and still get Hampton if they wanna draft a RB in the 1st round!! They already don’t have a 4th round pick, and have a lot of needs to address in this draft, so why would they move up and give up a 2nd too, that don’t make any sense!! They need more picks in the top 100, so they can address those needs, so moving down is the best option!! And another thing is, they sound like they’re wanting to draft a receiver in the 1st round too, so there’s no way they’ll draft Ashton, even if he falls to 12!! They want Golden the way it sounds!! But either way, moving up and losing a top 50 pick in the process is not the smart thing to do with the cowboys…. Especially to draft a RB!!
Sims show trading into 28-35 range would give them 2 more picks in the first 100 picks and address all areas
