Out latest AFC West 7-Round NFL Mock Draft sees a blockbuster trade up for a quarterback, as the Raiders, Broncos, and Chargers chase the Chiefs.

In our 7-Round AFC West Mock Draft, we look at what picks the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers may make, as well as who the Chiefs may target to help them remain atop the pile.

7-Round 2025 AFC West 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.

1) Las Vegas Raiders: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia

Trade: Raiders receive No. 1 overall pick; Panthers receive No. 8 overall pick, No. 40 overall pick, 2026 first-round pick, 2026 third-round pick.

Our first 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the cycle kicks off with a massive trade that lifts the Las Vegas Raiders to the top overall spot.

There were rumors that Mark Davis wanted to be aggressive in 2024. One year later, he gets his guy in Georgia’s Carson Beck.

Las Vegas’ roster is almost ready to insert the rookie. The weapons core is strong, the lines are improving, and Antonio Pierce has promise as head coach. Beck could be the final piece as a pocket passer with stellar arm talent, anticipation, poise, and accuracy.

6) Denver Broncos: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

This is a move that serves a purpose both short-term and long-term. In 2025, the addition of Tetairoa McMillan makes Denver’s WR room strong four-deep with McMillan, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. And when Sutton leaves, McMillan can be WR1.

If Sean Payton is going to make things work with Bo Nix, he needs to invest in his QB. There’s no better way to do that than to pair him with a weapon like McMillan — a 6’5″, 210-pound monolith with a true three-level upside and hands of steel at the catch point.

16) Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State

The Chargers’ entire cornerback room is on shaky ground long-term. Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel Jr. are both free agents in 2025, and Ja’Sir Taylor will be a free agent a year later. Any addition would be an improvement, but Jordan Hancock can be a true glue piece.

At 6’1″, 195 pounds, Hancock is an explosive, energized athlete who matches that energy in his movement with relentless physicality in all phases. As a versatile, dynamic nickel defender, he can play a variety of coverages, blitz, pass off WRs, and make plays on the ball.

32) Kansas City Chiefs: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina

After trading L’Jarius Sneed to the Titans, boundary cornerback could be an area of need for the Chiefs in 2025. Shavon Revel is an under-the-radar prospect who fits Steve Spagnuolo’s profile better than most. He’s long, athletic, and as competitive as they come.

At 6’2″, 188 pounds, Revel has the combined explosiveness, sink, and elasticity as a mover to generate excitement, and he’s also a prolific playmaker — as evidenced by his 13 pass breakups in 2023. He can play man, off-man, or zone, and urgency underpins his game.

2025 AFC West Mock Draft | Round 2

38) Denver Broncos: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

A former off-ball linebacker who’s steadily converted to an EDGE, Jalon Walker has extremely impressive speed-to-power for his 6’2″, 245-pound frame, and his searing closing burst makes him a stellar fit for Vance Joseph’s wide-alignment scheme.

48) Los Angeles Chargers: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU

Harold Perkins Jr., meet Jesse Minter. Jesse Minter, meet your new X-factor.

In L.A.’s scheme, Perkins could be unleashed as the true multi-phase terror he is — playing as an attacking defender on early downs, and terrorizing tackles with his speed and bend later on.

64) Kansas City Chiefs: Nic Anderson, WR, Oklahoma

Andy Reid loves to diversify his weapons core. At 6’4″, 213 pounds, Nic Anderson gives Reid the size, vertical ability, and catch-point instincts few others have, and he flashes exciting flexibility, bend, and sinking ability as a route runner.

2025 AFC Mock Draft | Round 3

67) Kansas City Chiefs: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia

Jonas Sanker gives the Chiefs a do-it-all safety prospect with rare fluidity and sink in his motion at 210 pounds, supplementing two-high, support, and nickel capability.

70) Denver Broncos: Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa

With Luke Lachey, Sean Payton can once again attack the middle of the field on account of the 6’6″, 250-pound target’s athleticism and high-end coordination.

72) Las Vegas Raiders: Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Washington

Pierce isn’t afraid to take a chance on undersized competitors at CB. That’s Jabbar Muhammad to a tee: Undersized, but ruthlessly competitive.

80) Los Angeles Chargers: Dontay Corleone, DT, Cincinnati

A blood clot scare this summer mired Dontay Corleone’s stock in uncertainty. But now that he’s back with the team, he’s one of the best, most disruptive nose tackles in the class.

96) Kansas City Chiefs: Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

At 6’5″, 305 pounds, Marcus Mbow is long, explosive, and a mauling finisher, and he has pre-existing experience at both guard and tackle, imbuing versatility.
