The AFC North is one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL, and this season, we could see three playoff teams from it. However, none of them will be happy until they win a Super Bowl, which, for at least three of them, will require another offseason of improvement.
Therefore, let’s take a look at which players each of the four AFC North could be targeting in the 2025 NFL Draft with our 7-Round AFC North Mock Draft.
7-Round 2025 AFC North Mock Draft | Round 1
The order of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft was determined using the latest Super Bowl odds for the 2024 NFL season.
15) Pittsburgh Steelers: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers made their offensive line a dominant force. In 2025, they’ll now turn to the other front. Tyleik Williams, with his logic-defying athleticism and versatility at 6’3″, 327 pounds, would wreak havoc beside Keeanu Benton.
Williams has the size, natural leverage, and strength to hold the point from any alignment in run defense. But he also has the explosiveness and ankle flexion to stunt across alignments, drive power, and punch open holes in pass protection with his leg churn.
17) Cleveland Browns: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Cleveland Browns picked up Jedrick Wills Jr.’s fifth-year option in the offseason of 2023 — but then he regressed the following season. There’s an outcome where they move on after his fifth year plays out. In that scenario, LSU’s Will Campbell would be an ideal replacement.
At 6’6″, 320 pounds, Campbell has nimble, free-flowing athleticism for his size, and he’s a smooth operator in both phases with a steady center of gravity, great balance, and tight hands. His length could be an issue for some, but he compensates with compact power.
26) Cincinnati Bengals: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
The Cincinnati Bengals haven’t traditionally used early-round capital on interior offensive linemen at a consistent clip, but protecting Joe Burrow now takes on greater importance as the AFC becomes stronger. Tyler Booker can help complete the puzzle for Cincinnati up front.
With Booker, Orlando Brown Jr., and Amarius Mims, the Bengals would have three of the most imposing linemen in the game. Booker is a massive specimen at 6’5″, 352 pounds — and yet, his lateral mobility is one of his strengths, along with his hand power and physicality.
30) Baltimore Ravens: Jaishawn Barham, LB, Michigan
The Baltimore Ravens lost their WILL linebacker Patrick Queen to the Steelers in the 2024 offseason, but there’ll be an opportunity to add another high-end talent at the position. Jaishawn Barham profiles well as that WILL LB in the 2025 cycle, and next to Roquan Smith, he’d be unleashed.
At around 6’3″, 245 pounds, Barham has the size and explosiveness of an edge rusher, and he has proven utility as a blitzer and attacking piece. But his early-down utility is impressively strong, too. He can manage gaps, stack and shed, and tackle in pursuit.
2025 AFC North Mock Draft | Round 2
47) Pittsburgh Steelers: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama
Donte Jackson is a short-term fix for the Steelers at CB, but they still need to find a running mate for Joey Porter Jr. Domani Jackson would be a sound investment with his elite recovery speed at 6’1″, 190 pounds — as evidenced by his eye-popping 10.25 100m dash.
49) Cleveland Browns: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Coming off an injury, Nick Chubb’s long-term utility is relatively uncertain. Cleveland could start the changing of the guard by adding Omarion Hampton, a 6’0″, 220-pound brawler with phenomenal explosiveness, speed, physicality, and initial vision.
58) Cincinnati Bengals: Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers
Zack Moss could be a bargain addition for the Bengals, but if they’re in the market for a long-term starter in 2025, Kyle Monangai could be a candidate. The 5’9″, 210-pound runner has superb cutting flexibility and vision, and he’s a stalwart pass protector as well.
62) Baltimore Ravens: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
The Ravens have a superb thunder-and-lightning combination with Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell, but long-term security is in short supply. TreVeyon Henderson gives Baltimore a high-level pass-down catalyst immediately and can be a starter later on.
2025 AFC North Mock Draft | Round 3
79) Pittsburgh Steelers: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
Najee Harris will almost certainly be out the door in 2025. Damien Martinez can take the reins without missing a beat with his 241-pound frame and unnatural fluidity as a runner.
81) Cleveland Browns: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
The Browns are stuck with Deshaun Watson, but a long-term insurance plan like Jalen Milroe could pay off if Watson stalls out. Milroe has elite athleticism and a rocket arm.

90) Cincinnati Bengals: Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
There’s no 1-to-1 replacement for Tee Higgins, but at 6’2″, Tory Horton can at least give back some of that size and vertical ability, and he brings strong hands over the middle.
94) Baltimore Ravens: Aireonte Ersery, OT, Minnesota
With long-term questions surrounding Ronnie Stanley, Aireonte Ersery brings some of that power and size back at 6’6″, 330 pounds, while also providing athleticism on the move.
