7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft With Trades: Shedeur Sanders Replaces Derek Carr, Steelers Land Surprise QB

On the doorstep of the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s time to look at the full seven-round slate one last time. Thirty-two teams; 257 picks; infinite outcomes. We can’t begin to predict what will happen on draft night, but we can give it our best shot.

This mock draft isn’t purely predictive. It’s a blend of predictive elements and valuations from my own 2025 NFL Draft board, but NFL teams’ 30 visits and other interest indicators were taken into account.

1) Tennessee Titans

Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)

It’s the worst-kept secret in the 2025 NFL Draft: Cam Ward will, in all likelihood, go to the Tennessee Titans.

Brian Callahan needs a quarterback he can call his own, and Ward has the elite creation capacity, arm elasticity, ball handling, and gunslinger predisposition to light up the league in Callahan’s offense.

2) Cleveland Browns

Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Next to a QB, the Cleveland Browns’ biggest need is more playmaking talent. There’s arguably no QB worth taking at No. 2, and Andrew Berry has said he views Travis Hunter as a WR first.

Hunter is a unicorn simply with his high-end two-way ability, but as a WR, he has devastating potential as a three-level threat. He can carve up defenders with his routes, generate high-end RAC with his speed, agility, and bend, and make high-flying grabs.

3) New York Giants

Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

The New York Giants have a lot of needs, and EDGE isn’t the highest one, but Kayvon Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option decision is looming, and one could argue that Abdul Carter on a rookie deal is preferable value long-term.

New York has done its homework on Carter with multiple visits, and Carter’s generational explosive element would be deadly on a line with Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence II. He’s still just one year into his full-time EDGE career. The sky might not even be the limit.

4) New England Patriots

Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Protection and playmaking on offense should both be on the menu for the New England Patriots in the 2025 NFL Draft, but protection may end up being the priority in Round 1 with Drake Maye entering a crucial sophomore campaign. The blindside must be reinforced.

I would take Armand Membou, but the Patriots hosted Will Campbell on a 30 visit — not Membou. It could be a smokescreen, or it could be an indicator of interest. Either one is a top-10 talent; Campbell makes his mark with footwork, mobility, and compact power.

5) Jacksonville Jaguars

Armand Membou, OL, Missouri

It feels as though there are three distinct avenues for the Jacksonville Jaguars to follow in Round 1: Mason Graham, Ashton Jeanty, or an offensive lineman. If Membou — my fourth overall player — is still here, the prospect of building an elite offensive line may win out.

Campbell may be slightly more refined at this point, but with his mix of natural leverage, mass, length, athleticism, and tenacity, Membou erases opponents in ways even Campbell can’t. He can excel at guard right away, and shift to tackle down the road if necessary.

6) Las Vegas Raiders

Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

If the Jaguars pass on Graham, it creates a quandary for the Las Vegas Raiders, who have cause to take Jeanty, or a cornerback like Will Johnson or Jahdae Barron. Alongside Christian Wilkins, Las Vegas remains sparse on the interior. Graham can fix that.

At 6’3 1/2″ and almost 300 pounds, Graham is well-leveraged and dense, with stellar burst, quickness, and torquing freedom for his frame. He’s a menace as a one-gapper and a consistently disruptive force in the passing game, and he completes a fearsome D-line.

7) New York Jets

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

The New York Jets used free agency well to address holes on the defensive side of the ball, but the playmaking talent core on offense needs an early-round infusion. Thinking about where offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand is coming from, a versatile tight end makes sense.

Tyler Warren isn’t quite the fluid, all-encompassing route runner that Sam LaPorta is (Colston Loveland fits that description better), but Warren’s universal usage versatility and hyper-elite clutch gene would make him an instant target funnel for Justin Fields.

8) Carolina Panthers

Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia

Jalon Walker’s 2025 NFL Draft projection has been a polarizing topic in the lead-up to the big event. At 6’1″ and 243 pounds, with 32″ arms, he’s undersized for a full-time EDGE role, but in Ejiro Evero’s defense, he’d be able to pin his ears back and attack from space.

Walker is an outlier. But he also has every tool he needs to succeed as a pass-rushing dynamo, a QB spy, and a pre-snap disguiser. He’s explosive, bendy, and relentless, with high-end speed-to-power, and he just might be the X-factor for the Carolina Panthers.

9) New Orleans Saints

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Shedeur Sanders could go as early as No. 2 or 3. He could also fall into the 20s. His range is as wide as we’ve seen for a potential first-round QB, and the New Orleans Saints are an intriguing checkpoint in the middle of that swath. Here, we address the possibility.

The Saints were a rumored QB suitor before Derek Carr’s injury jeopardized his availability. New Orleans has to say “yes” to Sanders for anything to happen, but Sanders has a Brock Purdy-like skill set with stellar accuracy and could thrive in Kellen Moore’s system.

10) Chicago Bears

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

The Chicago Bears acquired Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and Jonah Jackson in the early months of 2025. Ben Johnson is striving to have an elite two-phase offense, and nothing less in his first year. They have most of the pieces in place. A difference-maker at RB is next up.

Johnson’s creativity in the passing game gets the most attention, but Detroit’s strong running game helped the Lions control games. Jeanty is the perfect RB to carry that effect to Chicago with his blend of elusiveness, vision, creative IQ, and ruthless physicality.

11) San Francisco 49ers

Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

A lot of teams in the late teens and early 20s would be fawning over the chance to add Derrick Harmon. I don’t know if he makes it that far. Prospects who simultaneously have such a high floor and such a high ceiling don’t often last long. The 49ers need him badly.

San Francisco has next to no proven utility on the defensive interior, and Harmon can be their new anchor to orbit around. At 6’4 1/2″ and 313 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he has the strength to hold strong in the run game, and he’s a violent, high-motor pass-rusher.

12) Dallas Cowboys

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

It’s anyone’s guess who the first WR off the board is in the 2025 NFL Draft, but Tetairoa McMillan still has a compelling case with his size-athleticism profile and his multi-year production. In Dallas, he’d fit perfectly alongside CeeDee Lamb as a high-end WR2.

McMillan has rare agility, quickness, and flexibility for his size, and he’s a power forward at the catch. His projection against press is unclear, which is why a WR2 role is best at first, but he can outmatch secondary defenders with his catch-point skills, bend, and RAC.

13) Miami Dolphins

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

I debated between Kelvin Banks Jr. and Barron, but I ultimately settled on Barron. With Jalen Ramsey trade rumors spiking, cornerback is an even bigger need. The Miami Dolphins might be able to address the trenches later on while adding a Swiss Army knife on the back end.

Barron is smaller than preferred, but in Anthony Weaver’s zone defense — with philosophical roots tied to Vic Fangio and Mike Macdonald — Barron is a perfect fit: An elite coverage athlete and processor with combative energy, position flex, and a rapid play pace.

14) Indianapolis Colts

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

On one hand, the Indianapolis Colts have a deep WR room and an engine for a run-first offense in Jonathan Taylor. On the other hand, the lack of an X-factor at TE — a player who can impact the offense in both phases at a high level — may be hamstringing the unit.

Loveland won’t enjoy the quality of QB play he desires after leaving Michigan, but he is indeed an X-factor for the Colts with his elite athleticism, route running variability, and smooth catch-point skills. And at 6’6″, 248 pounds, he has high upside as a blocker.

15) Atlanta Falcons

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

We know the Atlanta Falcons’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has to be defense, but nailing down the specific position isn’t as simple. There’s a void on the interior, a startling lack of impact players at EDGE, and uncertainty in the secondary. It may come down to value.

In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Johnson is the best remaining prospect at a position of need for the Falcons. His injury-impacted 2024 campaign has soured his stock a bit, but he’s still a top-flight coverage defender with vision, coverage malleability, and ball skills.

16) Arizona Cardinals

Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Arizona Cardinals could go in one of at least five different directions in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. But if a one-of-one physical talent, at a premium position like EDGE, is still on the board, it’s tough to shrug at that opportunity. Shemar Stewart is the player in question.

Stewart is the most talented EDGE to hit the circuit since Myles Garrett. Unlike Garrett, however, the positives of Stewart’s profile largely start and end with his gifts.

Stewart needs to improve his pass-rush execution and run defense discipline, but he and Josh Sweat can become a deadly duo in time. In an ecosystem with Sweat, Dalvin Tomlinson, Calais Campbell, and Darius Robinson, he could reach his ceiling.

17) Cincinnati Bengals

Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Cincinnati Bengals fans will be torn on this pick, and understandably so. Tyler Booker tested as a below-average athlete, and Cincinnati has been burned by those kinds of linemen before. But the tape is spectacular, and in Cincinnati’s pass-heavy scheme, he’d be able to excel.

Booker counteracts middling mobility with underrated flexibility and knee bend, calculated and efficient footwork, violent and opportunistic hands, and an assignment-sound awareness and understanding of positioning. On top of it all, he’s a maniacal competitor.

18) Seattle Seahawks

Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

The Seattle Seahawks have needs at all three interior offensive line spots, and Grey Zabel is a prospect who could feasibly project to all three iOL spots. It feels like a fit that’s too good to be true, but from a value perspective, Zabel matches up as well.

Zabel is a top-25 talent on my board, with the mix of size, twitch, flexibility, hand power, football IQ, and finishing physicality to be a true staple at center or guard. He’ll have to up his play strength a bit more, but he’s too good a blend of need and BPA to pass on.

19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Mike Green’s dismissal from Virginia must be investigated by teams, but nothing has indicated he’ll be off the board for many teams in Round 1. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers met with him at the NFL Scouting Combine and could leap at the chance to bring his pass-rush ability in-house.

At 6’3″, 251 pounds, Green has the burst and bend of a finesse rusher, but the compact mass and finishing hand strength of a truly complete operator on the attack. He gives Tampa Bay a kind of pass-rush utility they haven’t had in years at the EDGE slot.

20) Denver Broncos

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and all the first-round smoke has been billowing around TreVeyon Henderson. The Denver Broncos hosted Henderson on a 30 visit along with several other teams in the mid-first range, but Denver might be in the best position to take him.

The Broncos’ roster is solid across the board, and Henderson can be one of Sean Payton’s final offensive pieces. Henderson has the seam-stretching speed and vision to be a home-run threat while taking volume. He’s also the perfect third-down back in the pass game.

21) Houston Texans (via PIT)

Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas

Projected Trade: Texans receive 21st pick; Steelers receive 25th pick, 58th pick, HOU 2026 3rd

Non-QB trades do happen in the NFL Draft, and this is a scenario where one could occur in 2025. Banks has fallen out of the top 20, and the Houston Texans might not want to risk losing a talented local prospect at a position of need to Los Angeles, Green Bay, or Minnesota.

Houston could use an experienced, traits-rich blocker who projects well at both tackle and guard, and that’s what Banks brings to the table. Leverage maintenance can be an issue at times with his build, but he’s explosive and rangy in space, and a mauler in both phases.

22) Los Angeles Chargers

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Wide receiver isn’t always regarded as a top need for the Los Angeles Chargers, but one look at the position group invites uncertainty. Ladd McConkey is a true WR1, but Quentin Johnston is all too volatile, and Mike Williams is past his prime. L.A. needs a viable partner in crime for McConkey.

If he’s still on the board, Emeka Egbuka feels like a slam-dunk pick. He’s a movement-Z who can flex around McConkey across the formation. He has juice as a RAC threat, can carve through zone coverage, can make chain-moving catches, and he’s a fantastic blocker.

23) Green Bay Packers

Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

If a first-tier WR prospect like Matthew Golden falls to the Green Bay Packers, will they take him? That’s a question without a clear answer, but there is surface-level interest to note. Green Bay met with Golden at the NFL Combine and on a 30 visit, making contact twice.

In an offense emulating the “many mouths to feed” model that teams like Buffalo have championed, Golden’s presence as a dynamic movement-Z WR with separation chops, RAC ability, and vertical body control could be invaluable. My comp for Golden: T.Y. Hilton.

24) Minnesota Vikings

Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

As long as Shavon Revel Jr. is on track to a full recovery from his torn ACL, he’s a top-25 talent in the 2025 NFL Draft. And for a team like Minnesota, with Brian Flores’ aggressive man-heavy scheme, Revel has the elite physical traits to be a fear-inducing CB1.

Next to Byron Murphy Jr. and Isaiah Rodgers, Revel can complete the puzzle as the Minnesota Vikings’ albatross on the boundary. His blend of length, lean mass, tenacity, and blistering closing speed gives off Charvarius Ward vibes, but he’s even quicker and more agile in short areas.

25) Pittsburgh Steelers (via HOU)

Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in an unideal situation of their own making, but if Pittsburgh is going to reach for a quarterback (again), this is the ideal scenario. Find a trade partner and acquire more capital, and take one of Jalen Milroe or Jaxson Dart at a more acceptable value point.

Between Milroe and Dart, Milroe has a higher grade on my board, mainly due to the rare physical talent he possesses. He still needs time to refine his operational framework, but he’s a Justin Fields-level runner with a rocket arm and improving passing mechanics.

26) Los Angeles Rams

Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

Trey Amos has plenty of eyes as a desired Round 2 target across the NFL Draft community. I don’t know if he makes it beyond the top-32 picks. Amos is a top-25 talent on my board, and a scheme-diverse CB who should check the boxes for many CB-needy teams.

For the Rams, Amos has the requisite size and athleticism at 6’1″, 195 pounds, with 32″ arms, and he’s a prolific two-phase playmaker, as his 2024 production showed. Resembling A.J. Terrell Jr., he’s quick and fluid in man coverage, and heady and adaptable in zone.

27) Baltimore Ravens

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

The Baltimore Ravens are in a position to compete again next year, but their secondary still needs maintenance heading into the 2025 NFL Draft. Were he to fall to the 27th pick, Malaki Starks feels like an exceptional fit on the back end alongside Kyle Hamilton.

At 6’0″, almost 200 pounds, with near-32″ arms, Starks brings an NFL-ready frame and uncanny coverage mobility for his size. His all-encompassing swivel and hinge fluidity is rivaled only by his twitch and physicality, and he can be a safety blanket in space.

28) Detroit Lions

Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Mykel Williams is a tough prospect to project in the 2025 NFL Draft. He could go as early as the teens, or he could fall into the late first round. If he does, the Detroit Lions could be an eager suitor. Williams fits the identity of the defense to a tee, and the arrow is pointing up.

Williams isn’t a refined pass-rush threat, but he’s an exciting developmental EDGE opposite Aidan Hutchinson, with the elite power element to complement Hutchinson’s finesse and motor. And Williams provides a high floor as a run support and contain defender.

29) Washington Commanders

Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

The Washington Commanders approached free agency in a way that leaves them with absolute flexibility on draft day. They could go with a Round 1 EDGE, or a CB, but they also have the freedom to take a highly graded player at RB if the board falls their way.

Omarion Hampton is very well-regarded in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has similar size and physicality to Brian Robinson Jr., but is superior to Robinson with his speed, second-level creative IQ, and pass-game ability. For Washington, this is pressing the “upgrade” button.

30) Cleveland Browns (via BUF)

Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Projected Trade: Browns receive 30th pick, BUF 2026 5th; Bills receive 33rd pick, 94th pick, 2026 CLE 2nd

The Browns held a workout and a 30 visit with all of the top-five QBs in the 2025 NFL Draft. They don’t seem incentivized at all to leave the first 33 picks without a QB, and at pick No. 33, they’re positioned to trade up, be aggressive, and wall off other suitors.

In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Browns move up for Dart, boxing out the Giants. Dart could fit Kevin Stefanski’s scheme well, if he can expand on the flashes of intermediate anticipation he shows on film. He’s talented and tough, and those traits play.

31) Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Conerly Jr., OL, Oregon

Josh Conerly Jr. has been rising throughout the process, and now he’s viewed almost across the board as a Round 1 tackle. He’s athletic, has good lean mass and proportional length, brings solid knee bend and proactive hands, and he’s rangy in the run game.

The Kansas City Chiefs met with Conerly at the NFL Combine and could have a vision for him as a long-term starter. He fills some of the technical criteria that past Chiefs selections at OT have lacked, and he could play guard in the short term alongside Jaylon Moore.

32) Philadelphia Eagles

Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

If Walter Nolen falls to No. 32, it’s going to be difficult for the Philadelphia Eagles to pass. At 6’4″, 296 pounds, with near-33″ arms, he has the build and the hyper-elite explosive capacity to underly an overwhelming power profile, and in 2024, he wreaked havoc.

Nolen can pick up Milton Williams’ role alongside Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter without missing a beat, and there’s only room to keep growing as he refines his pad level in the run game. Nolen can be a game-wrecker with his raw talent if he can stay dialed in.

Round 2 | 33) Buffalo Bills (via CLE)

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Trading just outside of Round 1, the Buffalo Bills get a defensive anchor in Kenneth Grant: A 6’4″, 331-pound behemoth with high-end run defense utility and enthralling pass-rush upside.

34) New York Giants

Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

The Evan Neal experiment is likely close to its conclusion. Josh Simmons would be an upgrade at RT with his natural leverage, range, recovery athleticism, and flexibility.

35) Arizona Cardinals (via TEN)

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Projected Trade: Cardinals receive 35th pick; Titans receive 47th pick, 78th pick, ARI 2026 3rd

Jihaad Campbell’s torn labrum could impact his stock, but at a certain point, someone is bound to snatch him up. Here, the Cardinals trade up to file his elite attacking range, blitzing versatility, and coverage instincts behind a building defensive front.

36) Jacksonville Jaguars

Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

The Jaguars passed on DT in Round 1, and they still came away with a first-round talent in Tyleik Williams, an alignment-versatile hybrid nose tackle in the mold of Alim McNeill.

37) Las Vegas Raiders

Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

The Raiders hosted Maxwell Hairston on a 30 visit, and would likely jump at the chance to house his quick recognition and space-erasing speed in their zone-heavy defense.

38) New England Patriots

Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA

Just one year into his career as a full-time EDGE, Oluwafemi Oladejo is dripping with potential. He’s well-leveraged, explosive, and powerful, with exciting versatility.

39) Chicago Bears

JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State

JT Tuimoloau is a former five-star recruit at 6’4″, 265 pounds, with near-34″ arms. He had 12.5 sacks and 22 TFLs in 2024. He’ll go earlier than you expect, and he’s a Dennis Allen dream.

40) New Orleans Saints

Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

If the Saints can get the Purdue version of Nic Scourton and unleash his full potential, he could be a division-leading pass-rusher with his play strength, finesse, and craftiness.

41) Chicago Bears

Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Cole Kmet is a solid player, but Johnson might desire a TE with more projected route running and usage versatility. Mason Taylor is the smooth operator his offense needs.

42) New York Jets

Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo

Don’t bank on Darius Alexander lasting long past Round 1. He’s athletic, powerful, productive, and versatile, and for the Jets, he gives Quinnen Williams his much-needed help.

43) San Francisco 49ers

Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

Profiling best as an even-front defensive end, Landon Jackson possesses a rare mix of size, length, burst, and bend, and there are bright flashes of hand proficiency on tape.

44) Dallas Cowboys

Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)

With the build and grating physicality of a volume back, and the lower-body flexibility and cutting agility of a scheme-diverse runner, Damien Martinez can raise the floor tenfold in Dallas.

45) Indianapolis Colts

Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

A fringe first-round prospect on my board, Carson Schwesinger is a tremendous add at this stage, with high-level gap instincts, range, and fluidity as a coverage linebacker.

46) Atlanta Falcons

Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Nick Emmanwori needs to improve his run support diagnosis, but he’s a tantalizing complement to Jessie Bates III with his coverage mobility and closing burst at his size.

47) Tennessee Titans (via ARI)

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Luther Burden III may end up sliding a bit because of his uncertain projection, but he’s an incredible RAC weapon with the catch-point skills to capitalize on Ward’s tight-window opportunities.

48) Miami Dolphins

Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Odds are, at least one quality guard prospect will fall to Miami in Round 2. Here, it’s Donovan Jackson, a fringe first-round talent with strength, leverage, and easy mobility.

49) Cincinnati Bengals

T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

At 6’4″, almost 300 pounds, with over 33″ arms, T.J. Sanders is as sturdy as stone in run defense, and he has the awesome power profile to blast through gaps as a pass-rusher.

50) Seattle Seahawks

Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Donovan Ezeiruaku fell in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft. I love his flexibility and pass-rush arsenal, but his lack of a power element is concerning. Nevertheless, he’s of great value here.

51) Denver Broncos

Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

With his speed, electric short-area twitch, and big-play generation at multiple levels, Jaylin Noel can be Sean Payton’s modern iteration of 2017 Ted Ginn — only better.

52) Seattle Seahawks

Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

At 6’2″, 205 pounds, with 32″ arms, Tre Harris has the size, physicality against press, and catch-point authority to be the Seahawks’ X-receiver alongside Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

53) Buffalo Bills (via TB)

Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU

Projected Trade: Bills receive 53rd pick, 157th pick; Buccaneers receive 62nd pick, 94th pick, 169th pick

The Bills make an aggressive move to leapfrog the Packers and steal Bradyn Swinson: A well-rounded EDGE with easy acceleration, bend, power, and sturdiness in the run game.

54) Green Bay Packers

Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon

At 6’4″, 279 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Jordan Burch fits Green Bay’s desired size profile, and he has the energized athleticism and flexibility to function as a stand-up rusher and stunter.

55) Los Angeles Chargers

Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona

Zion Johnson hasn’t lived up to expectations in Los Angeles, so with this pick, the Chargers complete their offensive line remodel with Jonah Savaiinaea, an athletic brawler inside.

56) Buffalo Bills

Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State

Giving off shades of Pierre Garçon with his size, fleet-footed athleticism, and play strength in multiple phases, Jalen Royals can be a dynamic movement-Z next to Khalil Shakir.

57) Carolina Panthers

Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State

Right away, Kevin Winston Jr. is a high-floor run support safety alongside Trevon Moehrig with his size, range, and tackling ability, and he has upside as a split-field safety, too.

58) Pittsburgh Steelers (via HOU)

Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

With the pick added in their Round 1 trade-down, the Steelers select Jayden Higgins as a sure-handed power-slot WR to join DK Metcalf — and hedge for a George Pickens deal.

59) Baltimore Ravens

Aireontae Ersery, OL, Minnesota

Aireontae Ersery is an explosive run-game attacker who also allowed pressure on less than 3% of his pass blocking snaps in 2024. He fits what Baltimore looks for at guard.

60) Detroit Lions

Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia

Wyatt Milum just feels like a Detroit Lion with his nail-eating play style and overwhelming torque output. He’ll set the tone and shore up Detroit’s interior on Day 1.

61) Jacksonville Jaguars (via WAS)

Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Projected Trade: Jaguars receive 61st pick; Commanders receive 70th pick, 107th pick, JAX 2026 4th

This is an aggressive trade for Jacksonville, but it’s for a top-32 prospect on my board in Azareye’h Thomas: A press-man savant with suffocating length, quick feet, and soft skills.

62) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via BUF)

Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M

The Buccaneers made themselves familiar with Shemar Turner this cycle, and they’d benefit from his explosive, violent, well-leveraged skill set next to Vita Vea inside.

63) Kansas City Chiefs

Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

Alfred Collins doesn’t just eat space, he devours it. A double-team magnet at 6’6″, 332 pounds, he can free up Chris Jones and others to feast on mismatches.

64) Philadelphia Eagles

James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

There have been whispers about James Pearce Jr.’s coachability, and even then, his run defense profile brings pressing questions. But if Philadelphia can keep him on the right path, he’s one of the most dynamic pass-rushers in the class.

Round 3 | 65) New York Giants

Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville

Tyler Shough is volatile with his accuracy and decision making at times, but he has starting-caliber athleticism and arm talent, and in New York, he could earn a chance.

66) Kansas City Chiefs

Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

Xavier Watts should not have fallen this far, but as usual, the Chiefs are the beneficiaries. Watts is instinctive, fluid, and a two-phase playmaker of the highest caliber.

67) Cleveland Browns

Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

The Browns met Harold Fannin Jr. twice and could see him as David Njoku’s successor. He doesn’t have Njoku’s size or athleticism, but is nuanced and sudden in the pass game.

68) Las Vegas Raiders

Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Quinshon Judkins reunites with his Ohio State OC Chip Kelly in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, gifting the Raiders with an explosive, turbocharged carving knife at the RB position.

69) New England Patriots

Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

The Patriots hosted Kyle Williams on a 30 visit and could be fantasizing about utilizing his vertical, RAC, and route-running skills as a safety blanket for Maye.

70) Washington Commanders (via JAX)

Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

After trading down, the Commanders score a massive value addition with Princely Umanmielen, a supercharged speed and finesse rusher with great instincts in run defense.

71) New Orleans Saints

Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

If the Saints do add a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, they’ll want to add an athletic, combative blocker like Marcus Mbow to shore up the interior and raise the unit’s floor.

72) Chicago Bears

Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas

Given the long-term uncertainty at safety, Andrew Mukuba makes a lot of sense for the Bears. He’s an ultra-malleable space navigator with searing burst and unhinged aggression.

73) New York Jets

Emery Jones Jr., OL, LSU

With both guards entering contract years, Emery Jones Jr. is a sensible pick for New York. He projects well inside with his burly, long-levered build, but also has right tackle utility.

74) Carolina Panthers

Jack Bech, WR, TCU

Jack Bech fits Bryce Young’s style well with his short and intermediate-range separation, packaged with reliable hands. With his size, quickness, and savvy, he can have a long career.

75) San Francisco 49ers

Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina

Replacing Dre Greenlaw will be difficult, but Demetrius Knight Jr. has the size profile, downhill explosiveness and physicality, and conversion ability to make an imprint.

76) Dallas Cowboys

Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

The Cowboys met with Benjamin Morrison at the NFL Combine. If he’s here, and if his medicals check out, he profiles as a boundary-slot bandit with exceptional man coverage chops.

77) New England Patriots

Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia

Injuries, age, and a below-average wingspan could push Tate Ratledge down the board, but he has the makings of an athletic, tone-setting long-term starter at guard for the Patriots.

78) Tennessee Titans (via ARI)

Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)

In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Ward reunites with college teammate Elijah Arroyo, a fluid vertical-stressing seam TE with budding route IQ and a wide catch radius.

79) Houston Texans

Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

Tight end isn’t an immediate need for Houston, but Dalton Schultz has been replaceable, and Terrance Ferguson is a high-floor, high-upside investment with well-rounded ability.

80) Indianapolis Colts

CJ West, DT, Indiana

A diverse one-gapping 1-tech with 3-tech flexibility, CJ West makes the Colts’ defensive line sturdier on Day 1, and he can inhabit several different fronts while disrupting.

81) Cincinnati Bengals

Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina

Regardless of Trey Hendrickson’s future, the Bengals could use more reinforcements on the edge. Kyle Kennard has the power profile and competitive energy to have a role early on.

82) Seattle Seahawks

Jared Wilson, OC, Georgia

The Seahawks could feasibly play Zabel at center, but Jared Wilson is more natural there, and the two together give Seattle one of the most athletic interiors in the NFL.

83) Pittsburgh Steelers

Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

Kaleb Johnson’s slide finally ends in Pittsburgh. His zone-running specialization fits well with Arthur Smith, and Johnson has the size and physicality to be a true volume back.

84) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Nohl Williams, CB, California

Nohl Williams isn’t quite an elite athlete, but he’s a gritty and scheme-diverse cover man with suffocating catch-point crowding (seven INTs and nine PBUs).

85) Denver Broncos

Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Sean Payton wants his high-quality tight end target, and the Broncos have met with Gunnar Helm twice. His smooth receiving profile and RAC ability fit what they need.

86) Los Angeles Chargers

Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee

Defensive line is an underrated need for the Chargers. At 6’2″, 291 pounds, with 34″ arms and enthralling pass-rush potential, Omarr Norman-Lott gives them more to work with.

87) Green Bay Packers

Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

Darien Porter might fall past the Packers’ age thresholds, but he checks every single physical box they look for. In Round 3, his size and athleticism are worth the gamble.

88) Jacksonville Jaguars

Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State

Beyond Brian Thomas Jr., there’s very little certainty in the Jaguars’ WR room. Tory Horton changes that with his size-speed blend, smooth separation ability, and catch-point instincts.

89) San Francisco 49ers (via HOU)

Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

Projected Trade: 49ers receive 89th pick; Texans receive 100th pick, 113th pick

The 49ers trade up with a familiar team to snag Elic Ayomanor, a high-upside WR who only needs the right coaching and insulation to become a diverse, domineering playmaker.

90) Los Angeles Rams

Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia

With the outlook already souring for Kamren Curl, Jonas Sanker can provide a potential upgrade with his size, energized short-area mobility, alley-running skills, and versatility.

91) Baltimore Ravens

Korie Black, CB, Oklahoma State

Korie Black has a 4.35-second 40-yard dash speed, a 39″ vertical, and logged three INTs and nine PBUs in a career-best 2024 campaign. He’s rising up boards with his production, talent, and competitive zeal.

92) Seattle Seahawks

Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska

An All-Big Ten performer coming off a seven-sack, 13-TFL campaign, Ty Robinson has the explosive first step, hot motor, and disruptive imprint to be a valuable piece for Seattle.

93) New Orleans Saints

Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State

Joshua Farmer still has issues with leverage maintenance farther along in reps, but at 6’3″, 305 pounds, with searing burst and 35″ arms, he has one of the higher ceilings in the class.

94) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from BUF via CLE)

Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia

Already, Smael Mondon Jr. is a high-level sub-package and coverage linebacker, and learning for a year from Lavonte David could help him reach true three-down status.

95) Kansas City Chiefs

Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State

Cameron Skattebo’s lacking vertical speed may drop him on some boards, but he has the vision, footwork, grueling physicality, and pass-game versatility to earn Andy Reid’s eye.

96) Philadelphia Eagles

Miles Frazier, OG, LSU

Miles Frazier is a thickly built interior blocker with great lateral mobility, stunt awareness, anchor strength, and pop in his hands, and he can ascend with Jeff Stoutland’s oversight.

97) Minnesota Vikings

Charles Grant, OL, William & Mary

Charles Grant has an incredibly high ceiling at guard with his elite explosive athleticism and 35″ arms, and he’s able to play square and batter rushers with heavy hands.

98) Miami Dolphins

Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas

That’s Mike McDaniel’s music you hear. Jaydon Blue is a creative speed RB who can fill the void left by Raheem Mostert while providing De’Von Achane insurance.

99) New York Giants

Rylie Mills, DT, Notre Dame

The Giants added Chauncey Golston in free agency, but could still use more alongside Lawrence. Rylie Mills has the “forklift” power profile that plays well at 3-tech.

100) Houston Texans (via SF)

Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon

A wide-built “dancing bear” nose tackle in the mold of B.J. Raji, Jamaree Caldwell has the mass, leverage, and two-phase utility to be an asset for Houston.

101) Los Angeles Rams

Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss

Chris Paul Jr. is an outlier with his sub-30″ arm length, but he compensates with his blistering range, keen gap instincts, and undaunted playmaking urge.

102) Detroit Lions

Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

The Lions need a cornerback who can play nickel when Brian Branch takes split-field reps. Jacob Parrish can not only fill but thrive in that role with his quickness and tenacity.
