The 2025 NFL Draft continues to be one of the most difficult to predict in recent memory, and the difference between mock drafts this close to draft day reflects that.
This three-round 2025 NFL mock draft analyzes current draft projections, scouting reports, and team fits to determine who could be in play for each team when they are on the clock on the first two days of the NFL Draft.

2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 1
1) Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
All roads lead to Tennessee for Cam Ward, the overwhelming favorite to be the first overall selection. The 2025 quarterback class is a step back from the previous year, but the Titans must play the board before them. The Miami Hurricanes quarterback is the top passer and has the creative instincts, proven production, and experience to elevate the Titans’ offense.
2) Cleveland Browns
Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
The noise surrounding the Browns selecting Shedeur Sanders with the No. 2 pick has mellowed with recent signs pointing towards Cleveland selecting one of the blue-chip talents. Tavis Hunter fills two needs for Kevin Stefanski’s team. He can be the team’s WR1 as a rookie while having the stamina, elite instincts, and athleticism to play corner.
3) New York Giants
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Abdul Carter led the FBS with 24 TFLs in 2024 and is just scratching the surface of his potential. The Penn State Nittany Lions pass rusher offers elite athleticism, aggressive leg drive, and pass-rushing prowess to develop into one of the top edge rushers in the NFL.
4) New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OL, LSU
The debate over whether Will Campbell is a tackle or a guard continues. However, it doesn’t matter in this scenario. The Patriots need to improve both spots, and the LSU Tigers’ left tackle enhances the protection in New England at either spot.
He allows Mike Vrabel to get the best five offensive linemen on the field, and Campbell has the potential to have a long, successful career blocking for Drake Maye.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Jaguars could go in several directions, but one often-overlooked need is wide receiver. Jacksonville drafted a stud in Brian Thomas Jr. a year ago and could add another quality option to make the offense more dynamic.
Tetairoa McMillan is an excellent complement to the existing room. The huge Arizona Wildcats’ receiver is a refined route runner and a contest catch specialist. Meanwhile, his 6’45”, 212-pound frame provides an expansive catch radius and natural physicality to overpower defenders.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Mason Graham on the Raiders takes a good unit to the next level. The defensive front would stoke fear into opposing offensive linemen, where Graham could unlock the interior with his flashy movement, popping hand placement, and elite intelligence.
7) New York Jets
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Adding Armand Membou would give the Jets their starting tackles for the next decade. The Missouri right tackle gives New York cost control over their young offensive line, and the physical, dynamic mover can be a Day 1 starter at right tackle opposite Oli Fashanu.
8) Carolina Panthers
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Panthers’ defense was one of the worst units in the NFL in 2024, and they need to get younger and more athletic up front. Shemar Stewart is an elite athlete with freaky movement skills and a rare bend for a 6’5” and 267 pounds prospect. Plus, he played even heavier in College Station.

Despite only putting up 1.5 sacks in each of the last three seasons at Texas A&M, Stewart has the desired size and raw combination of power and speed to be a dominant player in the NFL.
9) New Orleans Saints
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The Derek Carr injury news has derailed mock drafts, with many now instantly plugging in a quarterback at No. 9 overall. However, this could be the best opportunity for the Saints to finally bite the bullet and stop kicking the salary cap down the road. Either they find out what they have in Spencer Rattler, or they draft early in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Tyler Warren is a dynamic offensive weapon who would be a safety blanket. The Penn State tight end is an exceptional creative threat when schemed open, where his athletic ability, large catch radius, and instincts create separation to haul in passes.
10) Chicago Bears
Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
Jalon Walker is a natural playmaking defender with agile movement and explosive mobility. The versatile Georgia Bulldog projects best as a pass rusher who can impact from various alignments in the NFL, which will be a dream come true for creative play callers.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas
There is a wide range of outcomes for Kelvin Banks, with draft analysts conflicted about his ranking. But most think he has the potential to be a high selection and likely be drafted higher than his value.
At 6’4” and 325 pounds, the Texas left tackle is a smooth athlete, has strong hands, and is agile in space. However, he needs to work on his footwork in the run game, so Banks has the potential to play guard as a rookie while also being the successor at left tackle for San Francisco.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
It feels like the Cowboys are the absolute floor for Ashton Jeanty. The Boise State Broncos running back is precisely what the rushing attack has been missing in Dallas, where his elite vision, forced missed tackle rate, underrated athleticism, and explosive burst can take America’s Team to the next level.
13) Miami Dolphins
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
The Dolphins’ safety room has been depleted, and Malaki Starks has the talent to step in as a starter right away in Miami. The Bulldogs defensive back is brilliant, and he uses his innate awareness and anticipation to make plays at the catch point. Starks is an underrated athlete with the extraordinary ability to contort his body in the air to secure the ball.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Colston Loveland is an elite pass catcher who creates separation with his nuanced route running, fluid athleticism, and smooth mobility. The Michigan tight end is also an underrated blocker, but his receiving prowess and ability to cause mismatches would make him a Day 1 impact player in Indianapolis.
15) Atlanta Falcons
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
The Falcons could decide to attack and position on defense in the 2025 NFL Draft, and fans wouldn’t question it. Derrick Harmon would instantly shore up the interior defensive line, where his disruptive pass rush and refined run defense instantly bring high-level potential and production to Atlanta.
At 6’5” and 310 pounds, the Oregon defensive tackle has polished technique, hammering power, and agile movement to overwhelm offensive linemen.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Mike Green is a natural edge rusher who possesses exceptional burst and a diverse set of pass-rush moves. The Marshall Thundering Herds’ defender has intense strength and converts speed to power, leading to 17 sacks in 2024.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
The Bengals’ cornerback room is lacking a lockdown option right now. The secondary was highly disappointing in 2024, and adding Jahdae Barron instantly makes the group more athletic and dynamic.
The Longhorns’ cornerback is an extremely intelligent playmaker with a natural ability to disrupt passes. He possesses a hot motor to fire towards the ball, while his anticipation and versatility can elevate the defense in Cincinnati.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Will Johnson slide stops here. Corner may not be the outstanding need on the Seahawks roster, but it is a sneaky sleeper need that would instantly make the Michigan product CB1.
Johnson has displayed elite intelligence, natural physicality, and ball-hawking poise to be a sought-after option that would be a value pick in the teens.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
This is a dream scenario for the Buccaneers, who landed one of the premier talents in the 2025 NFL Draft. Jihaad Campbell combines size, speed, and strength to be overpowering in every aspect of the game. At 6’3” and 244 pounds, the Alabama product has the physical profile and upper-tier athleticism to jam routes in coverage. Meanwhile, his 12 TFLS and 5.5 sacks in 2024 display a developing pass-rushing resume.
20) Denver Broncos
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
The draft community is still too low on Omarion Hampton. The North Carolina Tar Heels’ rusher is underappreciated due to Jeanty’s extraordinary profile. However, Hampton can instantly impact as a rookie with underrated athleticism, powerful mobility, and natural vision.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
If Shedeur Sanders tumbles in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers become a logical landing spot for the Colorado quarterback. While Aaron Rodgers has flirted with Pittsburgh, if he decides not to sign, the six-time Super Bowl champions will be left with Mason Rudolph as their starter under center.
Sanders has the game management to control an NFL offense. He is accurate, gets the ball out quickly, and progresses through his reads with purpose.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Jim Harbaugh would love for his former Michigan defensive tackle to land in their laps with the 22nd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Kenneth Grant has the intense physicality and strength to be a foundational piece on the Chargers’ defensive line. The massive 6’3”, 339-pound defensive lineman brings special movement skills for his size and the raw power to dominate through the middle.
23) Green Bay Packers
Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Shavon Revel Jr. has the physical traits, aggressive mentality, and rare size the Packers could fall in love with. The ECU Pirates’ corner suffered a season-ending ACL tear early in 2024, but he brings elite length, athleticism, and ball skills to still be considered a potential first-round player.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Nick Emmanwori saw a bump in mock drafts after his elite testing at the 2025 NFL Combine, but this feels more like the South Carolina Gamecocks’ defensive backs range. With a perfect 10.00 RAS, the athleticism is off the charts for Emmanwori. His speed, physicality, and versatility will make him a mismatch from the slot or as a box defender, where he can use his 6’3”, 220-pound frame to make plays.
25) Houston Texans
Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State
Grey Zabel can start at guard or center in the NFL and has college experience starting at tackle. His 32 1/4″ arms will prevent him from playing tackle full-time at the next level, but the NDSU prospect has valuable versatility, awareness, and intelligence to be a long-time starter.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
This feels like a wildcard pick, but Carson Schwesinger is a highly talented linebacker. The Rams have a glaring need at the position and don’t have another selection until pick 90, and they could look to take the talented prospect late in the first round.
Schwesinger is a natural playmaker and a twitchy athlete who operates with stunning physicality. The UCLA Bruins’ defender combines anticipation in coverage, intense foot speed, and a growing pass rush proficiency to make plays on all three downs.
27) Baltimore Ravens
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
A trustworthy, consistent, dependable wide receiver, Matthew Golden adds an injection of youth and production to the Ravens’ offense, instantly making the room more dynamic.
At 5’11” and 191 pounds, the Texas wideout has natural movement and body control to contort his body at the catch point. He can create separation with his instinctual ball tracking and refined route running.
28) Detroit Lions
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Mykel Williams may have fallen down boards because he is still growing as a pass rusher. However, the Georgia defensive end is phenomenal at defending the run and has the physical tools to continue his upward development opposite Aidan Hutchinson. At 6’4” and 265 pounds, Williams has the agile movement, core strength to get off blocks, and the natural power to burst into tackles.
29) Washington Commanders
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
An edge rusher is still a glaring need for the Washington Commanders, and Donovan Ezeiruaku would instantly become the best pass rusher in the nation’s capital. With 16.5 sacks in 2024, the Boston College defender has the length, flexibility, and explosive movement to bend the edge while showcasing a varied pass-rush plan to overwhelm offensive linemen.
30) Buffalo Bills
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen would be a Day 1 starter for the Bills, where his natural athleticism and physical gifts can lock down the interior of the defensive line. The 6’3”, 292-pound Ole Miss Rebel has absurd athletic ability and popping movement to win with his first step while also having the punishing power to beat the opposition.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
This is the dream scenario for the Chiefs, who need a long-term solution at offensive tackle. Josh Simmons is a dynamic athlete and secure blocker who has fallen down boards because of his season-ending patellar tendon tear. Still, he has the polished technique, refined intelligence, and agile mobility to be a long-term starter for an NFL franchise.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
The Eagles love drafting in the trenches, and Tyler Booker would be just the type of prospect Howie Roseman finds a way to land every draft. The Crimson Tide guard is a technician with eye-popping power and intense leg drive. Booker is a refined prospect who could be a Day 1 starter for Philadelphia.
