We are just two weeks away from the Tennessee Titans making the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. As the drama and anticipation mounts, here’s how the first three rounds could shake up now that teams know what they need to prioritize.
For a more in-depth breakdown of each athlete, head to PFSN’s NFL Draft Prospect Rankings. To create a mock draft of your own, check out the PFN Mock Draft Simulator.
1) Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami
I’d be a real hack if I tried to project anything but this at the first overall pick to the Titans. Tennessee needs a quarterback reset, and the most talented option in this class is Ward, who has the upside to becoming a top-10 passer over the next five years.
There’s a reason this pick has been penciled in for weeks.
2) Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Deshaun Watson was a blatant and ugly mistake by the Browns. Having the second-overall pick allows for them to reset at QB with a very cheap contract and the opportunity to build a firmer foundation. While Cleveland hasn’t historically been successful, it doesn’t know the next time it’ll be picking this early with a shot at getting a high-floor starter like Sanders.
3) New York Giants
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
In this circumstance, Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen would be kicking themselves for not doing more to trade up to get a starter-worthy quarterback. Instead, they’ll need to go with the flashiest name, that being Hunter. By drafting the Heisman winner, the Giants will get a lockdown corner opposite Deonte Banks and a secondary receiving option opposite Malik Nabers.
4) New England Patriots
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Imagine being the Patriots’ front office and not having to trade up to select the best prospect in this class. Carter has the elite first step, rare power, and overwhelming explosiveness needed to become one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Liam Coen should want to hit the ground running in year one of his time in Jacksonville. The best way he can do this is by supporting Trevor Lawrence with another dynamic weapon in Warren. Warren has the natural athleticism to become a multi-use weapon for Coen, just like he was at Penn State.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
The Raiders have lacked stability in recent years, and the best way to become consistently competent is by building a firm foundation. What better way to do that than taking the most athletic offensive lineman in this draft? Membou’s movement skills and length allow for him to slot in at guard or tackle for the Raiders, depending on what they deem is the biggest need.
7) New York Jets
Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Last draft, the Jets made a smart move by picking Olu Fashanu to play left tackle. Now they can select Campbell to play opposite of him at the right tackle spot. While it still needs to be determined if Justin Fields can lead this franchise, helping him with better protection will make that an easier evaluation.
8) Carolina Panthers
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Since trading Brian Burns, the Panthers’ pass rush has completely sunk. Stewart is the most gifted athlete of the EDGE prospects in this class and can be developed into a dominant defender in a few years.
9) New Orleans Saints
Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Walker’s quick feet and acceleration make him a handful for offensive linemen to keep up with. The Saints only generated a measly 39 sacks in 2024, so adding the speed of Walker would significantly improve their pass rush. He also comes with off-ball versatility that could allow New Orleans to get creative up front.
10) Chicago Bears
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Ben Johnson’s calling card as the Lions offensive coordinator was running the football and building the pass game off of it. With this pick, he can get a big-play threat and a workhorse at the same time. Johnson is an incredibly creative offensive mind who would find ways to scheme Jeanty into the highlight reel every week.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Graham is one of a few prospects that you just can’t pass up on outside the top 10. The 49ers would have an insane defensive line tandem of Graham and Nick Bosa if they patiently watched him fall into their laps.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
While almost every move by the Cowboys this offseason has been perplexing, they have the chance to reconcile all of those mistakes by adding McMillan.

His skill set pairs perfectly with CeeDee Lamb, and he would face many one-on-one matchups that he can easily win.
13) Miami Dolphins
Kevin Banks, OT, Texas
In a year with limited quality offensive line prospects, the Dolphins have to pounce at the best available name on the board. Banks has a powerful anchor and great feet suitable for him to start at guard or tackle.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
This is Anthony Richardson’s last shot at proving himself as the Colts’ long-term starter. They need to properly equip him with more weapons to accomplish that. Loveland is a true vertical threat tight end with the change-of-direction ability to create splash plays.
15) Atlanta Falcons
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
The Falcons’ lack of a pass rush has significantly held them back, but thankfully, this class is loaded with EDGE talent. Pearce Jr. has the bend and length to develop into a consistent double-digit sack threat among a young and high-upside defensive line.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Will Johnson, CB, Arizona
Last year, the Cardinals finished 24th in the NFL in yards per attempt on defense. The way they can limit the amount of chunk plays given up is by adding a lockdown corner prospect.
Johnson has the frame and the instincts to become an All-Pro.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Even if Trey Hendrickson sticks with the Bengals, they desperately need to add athleticism to their defense at every position. Williams has the floor to be a reliable run defender, thanks to his length and power. If he develops opposite of Hendrickson, they could create a formidable pass-rush duo.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Seattle has its quarterback in Sam Darnold; now, it needs to protect him. In 2024, the Seahawks gave up an appalling 54 sacks, the third-worst in the NFL. Booker has been lauded as a high-character prospect and he has the on-field flashes to match. Booker’s technique is strong enough to help build a wall in the interior of Seattle’s offensive line for years to come.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jihaad Campbell, ILB, Alabama
The Buccaneers have always coveted speed on defense, so drafting Campbell is a no-brainer. The former EDGE recruit flashes the aggressiveness, power, and burst to become a game-wrecking linebacker in the NFL.
20) Denver Broncos
Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC
Bo Nix hit the ground running as a rookie, and now the Broncos need to find more ways to support him. They can accomplish that by picking a bell cow running back to churn out yards on early downs and dominate in short yardage.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Length is an important trait for the Steelers’ consistent defensive dominance, and Harmon is the epitome of that. Thanks to his size and rare movement skills, he can line up in multiple roles for Pittsburgh.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
We can safely admit that the Quentin Johnston pick was a total dud. There’s still room for the Chargers to reconcile that mistake by drafting the speedy Golden, who can line up outside as another target for Justin Herbert.
23) Green Bay Packers
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
As other teams in the NFC North gear up for offensive explosiveness, the Packers should prepare to cover their rivals’ passing attacks. Barron has role flexibility in the NFL as either a reliable slot corner or a steady outside presence, depending on what Green Bay needs to address most.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
As Harrison Smith enters his twilight years, it’s time for Minnesota to get a lot younger at safety. Emmanwori had a historic testing performance at the NFL Scouting Combine and could go on to become one of the most disruptive safeties in the NFL.
25) Houston Texans
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Texans’ offensive line got a complete makeover this offseason, but they still need a young and promising face to anchor the group. Despite going down with a season-ending injury, Simmons had the best tape of any of the offensive tackles in the 2025 NFL Draft. His sturdy anchor and light feet are reminiscent of a franchise cornerstone.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Los Angeles reached the playoffs in 2024 thanks to its young and athletic core of rookies. By selecting Hairston, they can continue that trend with a lightning-fast cornerback that closes down gaps in an instant.
27) Baltimore Ravens
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
If Green becomes a Raven, the AFC North needs to be very afraid. For a Group of Five prospect, Green plays with unexpectedly refined hand usage to consistently win reps as a pass rusher. Joining an already dominant defensive line would only help unlock Green’s potential.
28) Detroit Lions
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
What better way to help Aidan Hutchinson than to select another Michigan man? Grant has the upside of not only being a menace against the run but also diverting attention as a pass rusher to free up Hutchinson.
29) Washington Commanders
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Starks has the coverage ability and overall instincts to become one of the best safeties in the NFL. Luckily for the Commanders, he falls right into their lap, and they can reap the rewards of safeties being consistently overlooked in the draft.
30) Buffalo Bills
Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Bills need a massive body to play alongside Ed Oliver in the interior. Thus, enlisting Williams is an enticing Round 1 play. He is an immovable cinderblock at the line of scrimmage against the run and has some upside as a pass rusher, too.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
If there’s a defensive coordinator who can get the most out of Nolen in the NFL, it’s Steve Spagnuolo. Nolen has very inconsistent tape but jaw-dropping potential if surrounded by the right winning culture.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
With Josh Sweat departing in free agency, the Eagles could look for a pass-rushing specialist with one of their early picks. Enter Ezeiruaku, who is fast, plays with great leverage, and displays hand-fighting nuance to win in one-on-one battles.

If a total bust is getting 55 catches 711 yards and 8TDs in a season what isnt a bust getting?
The picks for Buffalo is weak come on bro you can do better 👎👎
Sheduer Sanders won’t go until the bottom of the 1st round and if Aaron Roger’s signs with Pittsburgh then he might not go until the 3rd round, he will need a year or two before he is ready
Booker is a horrible scheme fit for Seattle.
