This 2025 NFL Mock Draft examines the draft board as it stands after Week 1 of the NFL season. Which prospects are rising, and which team/prospect fits stand out early on?
This mock sees the rise of several quarterbacks — among them Quinn Ewers, Drew Allar, and Cameron Ward — and a surprise defender also cracks Round 1 for the first time.
Cummings’ 7-Round 2025 NFL 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) New York Giants (via CAR): Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
Projected Trade: Giants receive No. 1 overall pick; Panthers receive No. 2 overall pick, No. 66 overall pick, 2026 third-round pick.
Thus far in the 2025 NFL Draft cycle, Carson Beck remains my QB1. His preseason grade would land him in a similar range to J.J. McCarthy, who went 10th overall in 2024.
Beck isn’t always flashy, but he’s an exceedingly reliable signal-caller, something the Giants have lacked with Daniel Jones.
Beck has the requisite arm talent, and his steely pocket poise, steady sense of timing, and high-end anticipation make him a cut above.
2) Carolina Panthers (via NYG): Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Projected Trade: Giants receive No. 1 overall pick; Panthers receive No. 2 overall pick, No. 66 overall pick, 2026 third-round pick.
The Carolina Panthers still have a ways to go, especially if they choose to stick with Bryce Young.
No matter what, they need more playmakers. Travis Hunter fills that need well.
Hunter has once again proven his mettle at both WR and CB in 2024. However, I like his NFL potential at WR better.
Hunter can be a true three-level threat at WR with his speed, agility, bend, separation ability, and infallible ball skills at the catch point.
3) Denver Broncos: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Bo Nix’s debut in Denver was rough, but the book is far from closed. Step 1 in 2025 will be getting Nix more long-term security in his weapons core. Enter Tetairoa McMillan.
McMillan kicked off his 2024 campaign with a bang, going for 10 catches, 304 yards, and four touchdowns in Week 1. At around 6’5″, 210 pounds, McMillan has logic-defying throttle control and flexibility, and he’s a stellar catch-point presence with his size and authority.
4) New England Patriots: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
Whenever Drake Maye enters the fold for the Patriots, he’ll need a steady offensive line. Right now, the early returns in 2024 suggest that New England must invest more there.
Emery Jones Jr. is my OT1 in the 2025 NFL Draft at the moment — a 6’6″, 320-pound blocker with exceptional foot speed, knee bend, spatial awareness, synergy in pass protection, and strength in both phases. On either side, he’d bring needed stability.
5) Washington Commanders: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Will Johnson hasn’t been as steady as most expected in the 2024 campaign — but he’s still a near blue-chip CB talent, and one the Commanders desperately need.
At 6’2″, 202 pounds, Johnson can obstruct releases in man coverage with physicality, or he can click and close with startling quickness in off-man and zone. He’s the full package, and he’s exactly the kind of boundary Dan Quinn still needs in his defense.
6) Tennessee Titans: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
There’s still time for Will Levis to right the ship after his ugly Week 1 showing, but the Levis experiment may end poorly in Tennessee this year.
In that scenario, Allar could be an appealing succession plan. The 6’5″, 241-pound QB has the same rocket arm that made Levis so intriguing as a prospect. And one could argue the finer points of Allar’s operational outlook are more promising at his age.
7) Las Vegas Raiders: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
Things may get worse for the Raiders before they get better, but a poor 2024 season should allow the opportunity to reset at QB in 2025. Ewers has merit as an option.
Coming off a near-250-yard, three-TD outing against Michigan, Ewers is finally putting it together as a prospect. His arm elasticity and angle freedom are truly hyper-elite throwing qualities, and he’s now channeling that arm talent with improved control and discipline.
8) Arizona Cardinals: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Talents like Mykel Williams only fall so far. He still needs to further flesh out his pass-rush arsenal, but Williams’ sheer presence is so impactful, and he’s only trending up.
For the Cardinals and Jonathan Gannon, the 6’5″, 265-pound Williams would be a true alignment-versatile force. He has the explosiveness and bend to rush from wider spots, but he can also stunt and rush inside with his devastating length and power drive.
9) New Orleans Saints: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Cameron Jordan is getting older, and Payton Turner hasn’t solidified himself in the Saints’ EDGE rotation. Odds are, New Orleans will have to invest in EDGE talent again in 2025.
Nic Scourton fits the Saints’ profile at the position well. At 6’4″, 280 pounds, he has the feel of a power rusher, but he wins just as well with finesse. He uses his size-defying bend and change of direction to execute brisk counters, and his motor never cools off in pursuit.
10) Minnesota Vikings: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
The Vikings got better-than-expected play from Sam Darnold in Week 1, and it was an easy debut win over the Giants. But several positions, like cornerback, loom as needs.
Don’t let Shavon Revel Jr.‘s small-school label fool you; he’s a potential early first-round talent, and he’s a great fit for Brian Flores’ scheme. At 6’2″, 188 pounds, Revel can thrive in man coverage with his quickness and physicality, and he’s a certified playmaker.
11) Seattle Seahawks: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Though not a conventional pick for the Seahawks, Colston Loveland can be a unique threat for an offense that already boasts DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
At around 6’5″, 245 pounds, Loveland’s ability to separate from defenders with his athleticism and route-running nuance has already been on display in 2024. With Geno Smith targeting him up the middle and up the seam, Loveland would flourish early.
12) Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Malaki Starks is the top overall prospect on my 2025 NFL Draft big board. And in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Colts get him at 12th overall — a massive value at a position of need.
At 6’1″, and 205 pounds, Starks can do it all. He’s a rangy playmaking presence in two-high and single-high, and he can also match in off-man and crash downhill in support. His high-flying interception in Week 1 was evidence of his truly elite turnover-generating potential.
13) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Buccaneers’ cornerback room was already thin entering the season, and now injuries have exacerbated the issue. They’ll need to address it — and address it early — in 2025.
At around 6’0″, 185 pounds, Benjamin Morrison stands out as one of the most proficient man-coverage cornerbacks in the entire 2025 NFL Draft class. Morrison is an absolute gnat in coverage with his foot speed and corrective twitch, and he’s always around the ball.
14) Cleveland Browns: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
The Browns have issues that extend far deeper than their left tackle spot on offense. Nevertheless, Jedrick Wills Jr. is one player who might be replaced in 2025.
A strong candidate to fill Wills’ shoes is Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr., who’s played well thus far in 2024. Banks is an explosive, dense, and well-leveraged blocker with an urge to bury defenders in both phases. His pass-blocking technique has looked better through Week 2.
15) Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona
Anton Harrison took his lumps in Week 1, and Cam Robinson’s long-term future is already uncertain. Suffice it to say, tackle may once again demand investment for the Jaguars.
Jonah Savaiinaea has experience at both tackle and guard, and he’d translate well at either spot at 6’6″, 330 pounds. But with his explosive, lively short-area athleticism, natural leverage acquisition, and finishing physicality, he’d make a definite impression outside.
16) Pittsburgh Steelers: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Steelers could go several different ways here, but they’ve shown in the past they’re willing to take running backs in Round 1, and Ashton Jeanty is a Round 1 RB.
Jeanty began his season with a dominant 267-yard, six-TD outing, and he followed that up with a strong showing against Oregon. The 5’8″, 217-pound back has an almost-unheard-of mix of speed, flexibility, creative instincts, vision, contact balance, and relentless energy.
17) Los Angeles Chargers: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
You won’t see many 2025 NFL Mock Drafts that have Luther Burden III falling to 17th overall. That’s more a product of the board than anything else, but it’s a steal for the Chargers.
At around 5’11”, 208 pounds, Burden has the physical talent and the build of a Chris Chambers type. He’s a devastating RAC threat with his density, burst, and twitch, but he can also go up and extend for tough passes at multiple levels.
18) Atlanta Falcons: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Regardless of whether the Falcons see out Kirk Cousins’ contract or eventually pivot to Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta needs more weapons alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
At 5’11”, 185 pounds, Isaiah Bond provides a unique and previously unseen element to Atlanta’s offense. He’s a smooth, fluid separator who thrives against man coverage with his bend, burst, and spatial awareness. And he plays with a unyielding chip on his shoulder.
19) Chicago Bears: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama
Teven Jenkins was very hot and cold in Week 1 against the Titans, and Nate Davis’ long-term viability is also a concern. With two potential needs at guard, Tyler Booker makes sense here.
At 6’5″, 352 pounds, Booker is an absolute mountain of a man who defies his size with impressive lateral mobility in pass protection and burst off the snap. He can play square to opponents, gather stunting linemen, and anchor against power rushes with his strength.
20) Los Angeles Rams: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Mason Graham is not the nose tackle the Rams need — but at this point, his raw value surpasses any kind of schematic caveat. He’s simply too good to pass up.
While Graham can take some reps at 0-tech and 1-tech at 6’3″, 318 pounds, he’s best as a 3-tech disruptor with his lively athleticism, heavy hands, and relentless motor. Alongside Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, and Jared Verse, he could be a game-wrecker with his tools.
21) Green Bay Packers: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona
Cornerback was exposed further as a potential area of need for the Packers in Week 1 against the Eagles. Jaire Alexander is a stud, but uncertainty looms beyond him.
Tacario Davis is one 2025 NFL Draft prospect who stands out as an impressively solid fit in Jeff Hafley’s middle-of-the-field-closed defense. At 6’4″, 195 pounds, Davis’ playmaking radius is elite, and he also brings the fluidity, discipline, and targeted physicality of a true pro.
22) Cincinnati Bengals: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Bengals added Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson in the 2024 NFL Draft, but that might not be enough. Tyleik Williams gives their interior a true first-round talent.
At 6’3″, 327 pounds, Williams has the frame density, mass, and natural leverage to take reps at 0-tech and 1-tech, but he can also stunt and rush across alignments with his burst and bend, as well as slab run blockers while sliding outside. He’s simply a dude.
23) New York Jets: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
The Haason Reddick situation has quickly devolved into a nightmare, and the Will McDonald IV selection has not panned out. More likely than not, EDGE will be a need again in 2025.
James Pearce Jr. fits the Jets’ preferences well, and he could be relied upon to right the ship alongside Jermaine Johnson II. Pearce is an explosive speed-to-power threat at 6’5″, 242 pounds who can destroy blocking angles up the arc with his searing burst.
24) Miami Dolphins: Will Campbell, OL, LSU
Will Campbell is an OT1 candidate in the 2025 NFL Draft, and at this point, he’s a stellar value — with potential guard flexibility. Patrick Paul’s presence doesn’t nullify this pick.
At 6’6″, 320 pounds, Campbell’s arm length has been a concern for some, but with his balance and compact power, he’s able to mitigate that deficiency. He could rotate inside to guard or eventually enter the succession conversation for veteran Terron Armstead.
25) Buffalo Bills: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
For a single season, the Bills got the pass-rush threat they counted on with Von Miller. But with Miller’s departure looming, Buffalo needs to find a new elite speed and bend presence.
Abdul Carter is still acclimating to his new position on the edge, but the 6’3″, 250-pound defender is a true freak of nature, with near-4.4 arc speed and acute cornering ability. Playing off of Buffalo’s power rushers, Carter could be a domineering catalyst downhill.
26) Dallas Cowboys: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
The Cowboys have Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb locked up, and rookies Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe are impressing up front. A true volume RB is one of the final pieces to add.
At 5’11” and almost 220 pounds, Quinshon Judkins profiles as an explosive, battery-powered carving knife, who can slice through defensive looks with his speed, vision, and forward-pressing physicality. He’d make Dallas’ ground-game a near-unstoppable force.
27) Houston Texans: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
Any selection of Deone Walker in a 2025 NFL Mock Draft comes with heavy projective elements. Right now, his pad level gets in the way of any true nose tackle utility.
Nevertheless, at 6’6″, 348 pounds, Walker is a legitimate unicorn of an athletic talent with the explosiveness and short-area twitch to rush as far outside as 7-tech. Alongside Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, and others, he’d be a force to be reckoned with.
28) Baltimore Ravens: Earnest Greene III, OL, Georgia
Entering the 2024 campaign, Earnest Greene III carried a Day 3 grade on my 2025 NFL Draft board. Early on, he’s looked like a drastically improved prospect.
The former five-star recruit has an exceptional blend of natural leverage and proportional length at around 6’4″, 320 pounds. And especially in Week 1 against Clemson, he showcased improved short-area quickness, recovery, hand precision, and vision on stunts.
29) Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Baron, EDGE, Miami (FL)
Tyler Baron has been on my radar since 2021. For most of his Tennessee career, he was mainly a power rusher. But now at Miami, he’s shown off a more advanced arsenal of moves.
Thus far in 2024 — in just two games — Baron has four sacks and five tackles for loss. The 6’5″, 260-pound rusher has been incredibly disruptive, and his ceiling in the 2025 NFL Draft is starting to rise.
In the past, Baron has resembled a speed-to-power implement like Lukas Van Ness. But in his short time at Miami, he’s given evaluators more bend and finesse reps to ogle over, and his explosiveness off the line can be a challenge for blockers.
30) Detroit Lions: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
For the time being, the Lions have an able stopgap at nose tackle with veteran DJ Reader. But Kenneth Grant‘s presence ensures they’ll be set indefinitely at an important position.
At 6’3″, 339 pounds, Grant excels at eating blocks with his natural leverage, mass, and ability to anchor against displacement attempts. But he also has eye-catching athleticism for his size, and he’s a true pass-rushing threat with stunt and looping versatility.
31) San Francisco 49ers: Jordan Hancock, DB, Ohio State
Three of the 49ers’ top cornerbacks — Charvarius Ward, Deommodore Lenoir, and Ambry Thomas — will all be free agents in 2025. Jordan Hancock can fill several voids at once.
In truth, Hancock profiles best as a nickel defender, but he has the ability to play the boundary, slot, or safety. With his explosiveness, fleet-footed corrective mobility, fluidity, and fast-flowing physical nature, he at times resembles Trent McDuffie.
32) Kansas City Chiefs: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
The Chiefs may have gotten the Week 1 win over the Ravens, but one of the team’s biggest knocks was that the defensive line — specifically on the edge — failed to get consistent pressure.
Felix Anudike-Uzomah has not been productive to this point, and while George Karlaftis is a stellar presence, he can be limited on his own. In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Chiefs attack this deficiency with a different kind of physical talent: Princely Umanmielen.
At 6’4″, 255 pounds, Umanmielen has the components to source a deadly power arsenal, and he’s already a deadly finesse rusher with his volcanic one-step burst, speed around the arc, and gravity-defying bend capacity.
Round 2
33) Chicago Bears: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
At around 6’1″, 205 pounds, Emeka Egbuka is the perfect movement-Z WR to pair with DJ Moore and Rome Odunze if Keenan Allen leaves in free agency.
34) New York Giants: Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee
Malik Nabers is the X factor in the Giants’ offense, but New York could use a big-bodied pass catcher with the fluidity and chain-moving value that Chris Brazzell II offers.
35) Denver Broncos: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
Denzel Burke gets forgotten at times, but he’d be the perfect complementary CB alongside Patrick Surtain II with his coverage variability, ball skills, and two-phase physical imprint.
36) New England Patriots: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
At around 6’2″, 250 pounds, Jalon Walker is a speed-to-power merchant with swarming range in pursuit, and he instills the Patriots’ EDGE room with newfound pass-rush appeal.
37) Washington Commanders: Oronde Gadsden II, WR/TE, Syracuse
On my scale, the 6’5″, 220-pound Oronde Gadsden II profiles better as a WR. But either way, he’s a mismatch waiting to happen with his athleticism and separation ability.
Gadsden could ultimately become a WR1 type of presence for Jayden Daniels — a commanding force with boundary, big-slot, and infallible box-out abilities.
38) Tennessee Titans: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Allar gets to keep his favorite target from Penn State: tight end Tyler Warren. Warren’s all-around utility stands alone as the early weeks have shown.
39) Las Vegas Raiders: Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State
Zamir White is competent, but with a young QB, the Raiders need more in the backfield. Ollie Gordon II‘s combined finishing ability and cutting flexibility grant an upgrade at RB.
40) Arizona Cardinals: Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon
Marvin Harrison Jr.’s slow start is nothing to be concerned about — but he’d also benefit from an ancillary presence like Evan Stewart, who brings speed and three-level upside.
41) New Orleans Saints: Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
Marcus Mbow has experience at both tackle and guard, but particularly at right tackle opposite Taliese Fuaga, his powerful punches and square play style would be valued.
42) Buffalo Bills: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
Matt Milano’s long-term health has to be a concern at this point. Barrett Carter has the playmaking range and coverage ability to be a potential successor.
43) Seattle Seahawks: Cameron Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
Ward‘s pure throwing talent is almost unmatched with his arm elasticity. And from Geno Smith, he’d learn how to infuse his game with greater discipline.
44) Indianapolis Colts: Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech
A natural catch-point disruptor with bristling burst and speed at around 6’1″, 180 pounds, Mansoor Delane’s ability to always be by the ball could help Gus Bradley immensely.
45) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Harold Perkins Jr., LB/S, LSU
The early returns from Harold Perkins Jr. in a traditional linebacker role have been mixed, but his sheer value as an attacker and a blitzing presence is tough to turn down here.
46) Cleveland Browns: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
At some point, the Deshaun Watson situation may become too untenable for the Browns to move forward with him. When that point comes, Cleveland will need to reset at QB.
Shedeur Sanders is a precarious prospect in a sense, but his arm has more juice at this point, and his accuracy and pinpoint precision — at their best — are tough to replicate.
47) Jacksonville Jaguars: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State
Savaiinaea can play tackle or guard, but if he sticks at tackle, Donovan Jackson can file in seamlessly on the interior with his explosiveness, leverage, and driving power.
48) Pittsburgh Steelers: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Andrew Mukuba is playing fast and physical in 2024, and his slot-safety versatility would fill a major need for the Steelers alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick.
49) Los Angeles Chargers: Parker Brailsford, C, Alabama
Though Parker Brailsford is undersized at 6’2″, 275 pounds, his range is unparalleled on the move, and his play strength is a surprising plus in his game.
50) Atlanta Falcons: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama
Domani Jackson’s size-speed combination alone can give WRs fits. Opposite A.J. Terrell, he’d form one of the most naturally talented tandems in the league.
51) Chicago Bears: Jared Wilson, C, Georgia
Jared Wilson has been a riser in 2024. The 6’3″, 310-pound center needs to improve his anchor, but he’s explosive, rangy, physical, and well-leveraged.
52) Carolina Panthers: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
At 6’6″, 330 pounds, Aireontae Ersery gives the Panthers a hyper-explosive mauling presence with experience at both left and right tackle.
53) Green Bay Packers: Fernando Carmona Jr., OT, Arkansas
Fernando Carmona Jr.‘s leverage remains an issue, but the 6’5″, 320-pound blocker is a great long-term investment with his explosiveness, foot speed, and tenacity.
54) Cincinnati Bengals: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
A breakout star thus far in 2023, Tai Felton has 330 yards and three TDs in two games. At 6’2″, 186 pounds, his vertical speed is menacing, and he’s impressively fluid in RAC.
55) New York Jets: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Jaxson Dart will need to adjust upon leaving Ole Miss’ offense, but he has the easy arm talent and malleable tendencies to mold behind Aaron Rodgers.
56) Miami Dolphins: Dontay Corleone, DT, Cincinnati
At 6’1″, 320 pounds, Dontay Corleone is a block of rock at 0-tech and 1-tech who can both encumber double teams and break pockets with his raw power on the vertical plane.
57) Buffalo Bills: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington
Pushing 6’4″, Ephesians Prysock has the short-area mobility of a CB at least four inches shorter, and his length drastically expands his disruption radius.
58) Dallas Cowboys: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
Dani Dennis-Sutton has been quiet to start the 2024 campaign, but his amalgamation of raw tools makes him tough to pass up at this value for the Cowboys.
59) Houston Texans: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
Daylen Everette is an exciting young talent. Even though he doesn’t have much ball production, his smooth athleticism and fluidity are impossible to ignore at his size.
60) Baltimore Ravens: Josh Conerly Jr., OL, Oregon
The Ravens are going all-in on the offensive line in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Josh Conerly Jr. could play tackle or guard with his range, leverage, and urgent style.
61) Philadelphia Eagles: Terrance Brooks, CB, Illinois
With Darius Slay Jr. nearing the cliff, the other CB spot may soon be a need opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Terrance Brooks’ natural ability could help funnel passes Mitchell’s way.
62) Detroit Lions: Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon
Jordan Burch has a penchant for being disruptive. He’s a stellar speed-to-power threat at 6’6″ and almost 300 pounds, and he can rotate inside when necessary.
63) San Francisco 49ers: Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon
The 49ers have been looking for a quality TE2 for a while. Terrance Ferguson gives them that with his route running, athleticism, hand strength, and zeal as a blocker.
64) Kansas City Chiefs: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
TreVeyon Henderson would be lethal in Andy Reid’s scheme with his explosiveness, acute cutting freedom, second-level vision, and receiving versatility.
Round 3
65) Carolina Panthers: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
Tez Johnson reminds me somewhat of Tank Dell with his energized athleticism, seam-stretching speed, and size-defying toughness at the catch.
66) Carolina Panthers (from NYG): Keon Sabb, S, Alabama
Keon Sabb is off to a fast start at Alabama, with two picks in two weeks. The 6’1″, 206-pound DB is a natural strong safety with a playmaking flair.
67) Denver Broncos: Yahya Black, DT, Iowa
At 6’5″, 317 pounds, Yahya Black is essentially a tree trunk at 0-tech and 1-tech, who’s just as difficult to dislodge as he is to halt on bull-rush reps in the passing game.
68) New England Patriots: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
Jalen Royals brings more traditional utility to the Patriots’ receiving corps as a WR who can separate 1-on-1 and secure tough catches despite his frame.
69) Washington Commanders: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
A favorite of mine since 2022, the 5’11”, 200-pound Jaylin Noel is tailor-made for RAC with his energy and density, and he’s also a nuanced separator and convertor.
70) Kansas City Chiefs: Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama
At around 6’2″, 235 pounds, Deontae Lawson is the complete second-level presence the Chiefs need with his twitch, physicality, and coverage intelligence.
71) Las Vegas Raiders: Patrick Payton, EDGE, Florida State
Patrick Payton‘s stock has fallen so far this year, but the 6’5″, 250-pound edge rusher still has the length, burst, and bend worth investing in early.
72) Arizona Cardinals: Jeremiah Cooper, S, Iowa State
Jeremiah Cooper‘s coverage versatility and playmaking instinct stand above most safety prospects, and he’s also more than willing to charge in support.
73) New Orleans Saints: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
At 6’4″, 295 pounds, Walter Nolen is an alignment-versatile power component who can cave in the offensive line from 1-tech to 5-tech.
74) Jacksonville Jaguars: JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
JT Tuimoloau adds to Jacksonville’s depth and playmaking imprint on the edge immediately, and he can unlock additional upside with more growth.
75) Seattle Seahawks: Jaeden Roberts, G, Alabama
Jaeden Roberts can improve at managing his leverage at times, but he’s an imposing, heavy-handed blocker with an explosive closing burst.
76) Indianapolis Colts: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
At 6’4″, 235 pounds, Harold Fannin Jr. brings smooth athleticism and a vast route tree to Shane Steichen’s system. Beyond that, he’s a reliable catcher and blocker.
77) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Antario Brown, RB, Northern Illinois
An electrified, well-leveraged runner at 5’10”, 219 pounds, Antario Brown also brings high-end receiving value — a rarity for an RB with his build.
78) Cleveland Browns: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
He’s not the route runner that Amari Cooper is, but Tre Harris‘ play strength and vertical ability will help stabilize the Browns’ receiving room.
79) Jacksonville Jaguars: Ricardo Hallman, CB, Wisconsin
An absolute ball-hawk who notched seven interceptions in 2023, Ricardo Hallman profiles nicely as a stifling coverage defender opposite Tyson Campbell.
80) Pittsburgh Steelers: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
No one knows what’s going to happen with the Steelers’ QB situation. Jalen Milroe‘s high-end developmental tools at least instill more potential down the road.
81) Los Angeles Chargers: Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa
Jim Harbaugh got a first-hand look at Luke Lachey while at Michigan. Here, he enlists the Iowa TE for his up-the-seam ability and blocking value.
82) New England Patriots: Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon
Though he’ll be an older rookie, Jabbar Muhammad has a clear floor as a feisty, physical gnat in man coverage with stellar run support chops.
83) Chicago Bears: Fadil Diggs, EDGE, Syracuse
Already, in just two weeks, the 6’5″, 260-pound Fadil Diggs has racked up two sacks and six TFLs. He has the size, burst, and bend to flourish.
84) Los Angeles Rams: Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas
At 6’6″, 230 pounds, with smooth athleticism and off-platform throwing ability, Taylen Green could be a perfect developmental stash behind Matthew Stafford.
85) Green Bay Packers: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
At around 6’4″, 215 pounds, Jayden Higgins is the kind of streamlined target funnel the Packers crave at the WR position, and he hedges for turnover.
86) Cincinnati Bengals: Conner Weigman, QB, Texas A&M
There are no whispers about Joe Burrow yet, but if his wrist ends up being a long-term issue, having Conner Weigman in the wings could be beneficial.
87) New York Jets: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
Jonas Sanker is one of the more versatile safeties in the class. He can play two-high or off-man in the slot with his foot speed, and he packs a punch at contact.
88) Philadelphia Eagles: Antwane Wells Jr., WR, Ole Miss
Antwane Wells Jr.’s dynamic athleticism makes him a stellar fit at WR3 alongside A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith — lending to both RAC and big-play potential.
89) Buffalo Bills: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
At this value, Damien Martinez makes too much sense for Buffalo. At 6’0″, 240 pounds, his smooth fluidity, vision, and tenacity make him a superb volume option.
90) Dallas Cowboys: Ricky White III, WR, UNLV
Ricky White III is a tantalizing small-school sleeper, whose short-area twitch, burst, route nuance, and tracking ability could make him an enviable pro.
91) Houston Texans: Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
Tory Horton isn’t a burner on the vertical plane, but he’s a long, smooth, and nuanced WR with great targeted physicality and hand-eye coordination.
92) Baltimore Ravens: Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
Devin Neal has the energized running style to be a catalyst alongside Derrick Henry, and he can eventually take the RB1 mantle in stride.
93) Washington Commanders: Rod Moore, S, Michigan
Rod Moore may slip in the 2025 NFL Draft due to injury, but his versatility, high-IQ play, and fast play pace would fit perfectly at the NFL level.
94) New York Jets: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson
The Jets struggled without a nose tackle up the middle in Week 1. DeMonte Capehart can rectify that with his brutish power and anchoring ability.
95) San Francisco 49ers: Jaishawn Barham, LB, Michigan
The early weeks have exposed Jaishawn Barham‘s lapses in coverage, but he’d be the perfect attacking SAM linebacker in San Francisco.

Xavier Nwankpa has a rare natural ability at safety with his closing explosiveness, agility, bend, and ball skills at 6’2″, 210 pounds.
97) San Francisco 49ers: Izavion Miller, OT, Auburn
Izavion Miller is a high-upside sleeper at 6’5″, 318 pounds, who profiles well in San Francisco’s movement-heavy scheme.
