The 2025 NFL Draft is nearly here! As fans of all 32 teams prepare for the three-day extravaganza, PFSN has recruited Metro Sports to help with their very own 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Make sure to watch the full mock in the video above (or here on YouTube) and the reasons for each selection. The information provided for each prospect below comes from PFSN’s Mock Draft Simulator.
1) Tennessee Titans
Cameron Ward, QB | Miami (FL)
Cam Ward is the QB1 of the 2025 NFL Draft. He’s been productive for a long time, but he realized his full potential in his lone year at Miami. Blue-chip QB prospects usually have the raw talent to set themselves apart. That’s where Ward earns his stripes. He’s a deadly creative presence under center, with truly uncommon arm elasticity, weaponized by his change-of-direction, improvisational feel, and budding football IQ.
With his ball handling and smooth distribution style, he can command the quick game, and with his playmaking propensity, he can make big-time throws in adverse situations. It’s tough to pin down a pro comparison for Ward, but if he can continue to hone his gunslinger predisposition for maximum efficiency and lower volatility, he could grow to be mentioned in the same breath as the game’s best creators at QB today.
2) Cleveland Browns
Travis Hunter, CB | Colorado
Travis Hunter enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the best prospects in the class, and he also profiles as one of most intriguing players in recent memory since he legitimately qualifies as a top-five pick at two positions. He is truly a one-of-one type of NFL prospect. Hunter possesses below-average overall size and length, but offers a once-in-a-generation type of overall athleticism.
As a wide receiver, Hunter can use his elite burst, bend, and speed to carve up coverage defenders and offer RAC dynamism, and as a cornerback, he can match, transition, blanket WRs in trail, read routes, and hawk in front of passes. His mobility profile is generational, as are his ball skills, and that combination is lethal on either side of the ball.
3) New York Giants
Abdul Carter EDGE | Penn State
Abdul Carter is the top-ranked prospect on PFN’s board, and a blue-chip EDGE talent in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s an impressive feat, considering that 2024 was his first season playing EDGE full-time. As one might expect, being a young EDGE at just 6’3″, 250 pounds, Carter still has room to improve his run defense, and he’s never going to be immovable against combos and duo blocks.
But as a pass-rusher and pursuit threat, Carter has a kind of instant explosiveness and closing speed that’s near-impossible to replicate, and he builds upon that generational burst with speed-to-power, wicked bend capacity, and strong, intentional hand usage. Additionally, his off-ball background gives him the versatility to rush gaps, disguise blitzes, and drop in coverage. At his peak, he can be an absolute game-wrecker.
4) New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OT | LSU
Will Campbell has the size, strength, agility, and football IQ to step in right away as a starting offensive lineman, just as he did at LSU. His upright blocking stance makes him a unique prospect to watch, but more often than not, he makes it work.
Projecting him at the next level, Campbell seems to have enough range on tape to stick around as a left tackle. His average arm length is his biggest question mark, as there are some instances on tape where edge rushers can enter his chest with long-arm moves and bull rushes.
Nevertheless, he compensates for his length deficiency with elite athleticism, footwork, and rare compact power and torquing freedom. Factoring his talent, experience for his age, and positional value, he’s worthy of a top-10 pick, and potentially top-5 capital for the right team.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Ashton Jeanty, RB | Boise State
You’ve heard it since the start of the 2025 NFL Draft cycle: Ashton Jeanty is different. We’re here to confirm that he is. Entering the cycle, Jeanty was PFN’s highest-graded RB since Bijan Robinson. He remains on that podium. College football watchers in the know expected Barry Sanders-esque numbers from Jeanty in 2024, and he got close.
Jeanty’s legendary 2024 campaign placed him second all-time behind Sanders in single-season rushing yards with 2,601, at 7 yards per carry. Jeanty racked up 30 total touchdowns last season, including 29 scores on the ground, en route to a second-place finish in Heisman Trophy voting.
At 5’8 1/2″ and an almost 220-pound playing weight, Jeanty brings a devastating elusion fusion to the fold — using his low center of gravity, elite explosiveness and agility, sharp vision and creative instincts, and physical edge to terrorize defenders every week. And on top of all this, he’s a dynamic, well-versed receiving weapon.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Armand Membou, OT | Missouri
Armand Membou is a powerful, athletic right tackle who brings a rare combination of strength and technique. A standout at Missouri, he thrived against top-tier pass rushers, proving himself as one of the most battle-tested blockers in the country. He still has room to grow before reaching the elite technical tier as a pass protector and run blocker, but his effectiveness and athleticism are unquestionable.
Arguably, no offensive lineman in the country faced more high-quality pass rushers than Membou. Likewise, no blocker consistently found a way to disallow pressures and sacks against top-notch competition the way Membou did.
Membou has an elite blend of size, length, mass, explosiveness, and corrective athleticism, and he excels at playing square, with stellar leverage and balance. Any move to the left side will require projection, but at right tackle or guard, he can make an impact early.
7) New York Jets
Tyler Warren, TE | Penn State
A potential Top 10 pick, Tyler Warren combines an ultra-reliable clutch gene with all-encompassing offensive versatility. Warren dominated to the tune of 104 catches for 1,233 yards, with eight receiving touchdowns in 2024. He also added 218 yards on 26 carries, plus four rushing touchdowns.
The Penn State offense ran entirely through his bulky 6-foot-5, 256-pound frame, and NFL teams will have a chance to emulate that. In every phase, Warren presents as a scout’s dream. He’s an efficient route runner who catches virtually everything, even with defenders inside his frame.
He’s an explosive and physical RAC threat, an offensive weapon, and a central presence who makes teams better. He’ll need to improve his hand application as a blocker, but even there, he brings the play pace and physicality to be an instant contributor.
8) Carolina Panthers
Jalon Walker, LB | Georgia
Jalon Walker’s projection to the NFL is extremely unique. He has the build and athletic tools of an inside linebacker but found success at Georgia by being deployed primarily as a blitzing pass rusher and attacking SAM-backer.
A prospect as athletic as Walker will likely find a successful role in the NFL, but there are debates surrounding what the best role for him is. Walker doesn’t have high-end gap instincts or coverage ability, nor does he have the size to consistently set the edge and encumber duo blocks.
That said, he’s an explosive QB spy and pursuit threat, a capable pull slabber, and a wide-alignment menace with a sound speed-to-power profile. In the right defensive system with a creative, forward-thinking defensive coordinator, Walker can flourish.
9) New Orleans Saints
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT | Texas
Kelvin Banks Jr. has all the physical attributes needed to be a high-level starting offensive lineman at the NFL level. He has the athletic traits that scouts drool over at the offensive tackle position. He’s a natural mover with quick feet and impressive short-area explosiveness.
Thanks to his low center of gravity and determined tenacity, he’s capable of driving defenders off the ball. He still stands to improve his hand usage and timing, as premature punches can contribute to lurches and lapses in balance.
10) Chicago Bears
Mason Graham, DT | Michigan
Mason Graham is a well-built interior disruptor with outstanding first-step quickness and good overall athleticism. He lacks prototypical length for the position but makes up for it with quickness, power, and instincts. As a pass rusher, Graham displays elite explosiveness and penetration ability, stressing interior offensive linemen up gaps.
He can create angle advantages with his burst and agility, and then capitalize on mismatches with his violent torque and power output. Graham is a very loose mover for his size and shows outstanding body control and flexibility, and his low center of gravity infuses his leverage game in both phases. His middling length can cause him to lurch at times, but overall, he’s a phenomenal two-phase prospect with impact starter upside.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Mike Green, EDGE | Marshall
Mike Green’s dismissal from Virginia must be properly vetted, but if he passes the character check for NFL teams, he has the talent to be a top-15 player in the 2025 NFL Draft. Green is the most prolific pass-rush producer in the class, coming off a 2024 campaign that featured 17 sacks and 23 TFLs.
At 6’3″, 251 pounds, with 32″ arms, Green’s length and mass are visibly non-elite, but Green nonetheless terrorizes tackles with his explosiveness, bend, agility, and thorough execution.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Tetairoa McMillan, WR | Arizona
Big-bodied wideouts who at times appear over-reliant on contested catches are always polarizing throughout the NFL Draft process. On the surface, Tetairoa McMillan seems to fit that archetype — yet, defiantly, his agility and separation potential serve as two of his best traits.
At 6’4″, 219 pounds, McMillan has truly elite short-area quickness, bend, flexibility, and stop-and-start capacity as a route runner. He brings enough speed and burst to the fold, has nuanced spatial IQ, and plays like a power forward at the catch point.
The biggest question mark for McMillan is whether he can be a true WR1, or whether he profiles more as a high-end WR2. Early in his career, he might function better as the latter, but his quickness and size suggest he can expand his release package and eventually morph into a number one.
13) Miami Dolphins
Walter Nolen, DT | Ole Miss
Walter Nolen is an athletic 3-technique defensive tackle, which is a valuable asset in today’s NFL. Combine that with his leap in production in 2024 and his top-notch pedigree, and it’s not hard to see why many are high on him entering the NFL.
Although he’s only 21 years old, Nolen has shown improvement as a technician. He still has more development to undergo, but the arrow is trending up, and he gives coaches an elite talent to work with. At 6’3″, 296 pounds, with over 33″ arms, Nolen’s power profile is spectacular, and his hyper-elite explosive capacity enables him to function as a battering ram when exerting power in both phases.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Jihaad Campbell, LB | Alabama
Jihaad Campbell has the skillset to be a disruptive defender who can impact the game in all phases. At 6’2″, 235 pounds, with near-33″ arms, he has the size and length to pace his counterparts, and at that size, he brings truly uncommon explosive capacity, long-strider speed, and short-area quickness.
A former EDGE recruit, Campbell brings incredible pass-rush upside from the second level — not only with his burst, bend, and closing speed, but also with his understanding of angles and hand usage.
15) Atlanta Falcons
Jahdae Barron, CB | Texas
Jahdae Barron’s impact was visible on a snap-to-snap basis for the Longhorns’ impressive SEC debut. Primarily playing as an outside corner, Barron was not only a lockdown player in coverage but also a turnover machine with five interceptions in 2024.
While he was a successful playmaker on the outside, Barron best projects as a slot defender due to a lack of length. Nevertheless, Barron can be a dynamic and at times dominant slot defender, in an era where slot defenders are being valued more and more — and he still maintains his boundary versatility in zone schemes.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Kenneth Grant, DT | Michigan
Kenneth Grant is one of the most explosive DT prospects over 330 pounds to enter the NFL Draft. He fits into a rare player category with his high-level blend of size, burst, and power. With his size and lower body strength, he demands significant attention from opposing offensive lines on a snap-to-snap basis, particularly in the run game.
His physical profile is ideal for eating blockers, freeing up linemates and the linebackers navigating traffic behind him, and he can also ID blocks and stack-and-shed with his length.
17) Cincinatti Bengals
Mykel Williams, EDGE | Georgia
Mykel Williams has the ideal size and length to project seamlessly as a defensive end in a base 4-3 system. His explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is impressive, and while his pass-rush arsenal is relatively raw, he’s capable of winning as a pass rusher on stunts and with speed-to-power.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Grey Zabel, OG | North Dakota State
Grey Zabel is a versatile lineman with the ability to play just about anywhere along the offensive line, but likely projects best as an interior player in the NFL. With the thin center group in the 2025 NFL Draft – as well as Zabel’s accurate snaps at the Senior Bowl – he could project best as a center in this particular class.
Zabel is a powerful offensive lineman who generates serious push as a blocker on the move. He applies a “take no prisoners” mentality when he locks up at the point of attack. As a shorter-armed blocker who needs to work on his knee bend, Zabel could face some limitations at the NFL, particularly in his rookie year.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE | Boston College
The sack production from 2024 speaks volumes, but Donovan Ezeiruaku’s tape is flooded with pro-ready technique. He uses his hands incredibly well, and he plays with relentless passion when he’s chasing down the ball.
His sack total doesn’t just consist of proverbial empty calories; Ezeiruaku earns his sacks with active rush angle manipulation and intelligent hand application and counter work, emboldened by his natural leverage, burst, bend, and proportional length. Because of his smaller frame, Ezeiruaku could struggle against the run early in his NFL career.
20) Denver Broncos
Matthew Golden, WR | Texas
Though he broke out late as a 2025 NFL Draft prospect, Matthew Golden has plenty of desirable qualities as a potential high-end movement-Z and impact starter at the NFL level.
At 5’11”, 191 pounds, Golden’s 4.29 40-yard dash has caused many to bill him as a speed WR primarily, but that’s a misconception. He certainly has high-end speed and burst, but he wins with his fluid and twitched-up mobility as a separator, and his liquid-smooth catch-point skills.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Shedeur Sanders, QB | Colorado
Perhaps the most polarizing prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class, Shedeur Sanders comes in as our QB2. There’s no disputing Sanders’ production or his pedigree. The debate comes within his projection. Sanders makes his money with accuracy, confidence — a product of his processing and pre-snap ID skills — and composure, and his arm is more than good enough. But he’s not a high-level athlete or creator, and his arm isn’t quite elite.
Sanders also has a tendency to drift in the pocket and play light on his feet, which can be harmful at times. A potential pro comparison for Sanders is Brock Purdy — the 2022 seventh-rounder who grew into a Pro Bowl passer with the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders is undersized and unequipped with elite talent, but with his accuracy, ID acuity, and gamer mentality, he can be a very good NFL starter in a system that offers support.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Colston Loveland, TE | Michigan
Colston Loveland is right in the thick of the TE1 conversation, and in any class without Brock Bowers or Tyler Warren, Loveland would very likely be the unequivocal TE1. Injuries and incompetent quarterback play impacted Loveland’s production in 2024, and yet, he still achieved a career-high 56 catches and five touchdowns, while racking up 582 yards.
While Warren is more complete, Loveland has the higher pass-game ceiling. At 6’6″ and almost 250 pounds, Loveland moves with truly logic-defying flexibility and bend, which lends itself to elite route-running ability. His route tree is all-encompassing, leveraging razor-sharp instincts, with unmatched athleticism that makes him a mismatch nightmare.
23) Green Bay Packers
Will Johnson, CB | Michigan
Will Johnson is an intelligent cornerback with all the physical tools needed to thrive at the NFL level. He’s tall and lean, and moves with impressive pace and fluidity in coverage. The physical tools are obvious, but the playmaking mentality and route recognition make him a top-12 prospect. He gets the most out of his tools because of his swift processing speed and aggression in coverage.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks, S | Georgia
Malaki Starks has many of the tools needed to be a high-level starter at the NFL level. He’s a well-built safety with a large catch radius and the versatility to play across the secondary. His intelligence allows him to thrive in various alignments, and he’s battle-tested as a three-year starter for a blue-blood program.
In coverage, Starks has the athleticism to cover a considerable amount of space and the processing skills to act quickly upon his reads. He aims to disrupt plays when the ball is thrown in his direction, and he can crowd WRs in nickel as well.
25) Houston Texans
Josh Simmons, OT | Ohio State
If it wasn’t for a season-ending injury, Josh Simmons could have been more widely regarded as the best offensive line prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. In the six games he started, Simmons put out some of the best and most consistent tape in the class, allowing just one QB pressure.
While his injury opens the door for other prospects to be picked before him, Simmons still should be a first-round pick and could be a top-20 selection. His physical profile and athleticism are ideal in a franchise’s cornerstone left tackle, and Simmons also has RT versatility.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Trey Amos, CB | Ole Miss
Trey Amos excelled against SEC competition, showing he can hang physically and mentally with the best in college football. The combination of size, length and athleticism makes Amos a prototypical boundary cornerback from a physical perspective.
He naturally has a larger catch radius and can make impressive plays on the ball with his proactivity, but also moves as fast as a cornerback who’s a few inches shorter. As a tackler in space, Amos’ form isn’t incredibly consistent yet. But as a coverage CB, he’s one of the more well-rounded in the class.
27) Baltimore Ravens
James Pearce Jr., EDGE | Tennessee
Pearce is an explosive edge rusher with the athleticism and the motor to generate consistent pressure as a pass rusher. He’s shown that his combination of first-step acceleration, counter agility, and speed-to-power allows him to beat NFL-caliber offensive linemen at the point of attack on a consistent basis.
28) Detroit Lions
Nic Scourton, EDGE | Texas A&M
Nic Scourton might be the most aesthetically pleasing pass rusher in the class. He’s wise beyond his years regarding his arsenal of rush moves, and his well-developed frame is NFL-ready despite only being 20 years old. Unfortunately, gaining unnecessary weight for the 2024 season likely hurt his NFL Draft stock.
29) Washington Commanders
Shemar Stewart, EDGE | Texas A&M
An upside gamble in every sense of the word, Shemar Stewart has become one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’5″, 267 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he tested as the most athletic EDGE prospect ever, with a 4.59 40-yard dash, a 40″ vertical, and a 10’11” broad jump.
30) Buffalo Bills
Derrick Harmon, DT | Oregon
There’s something to be said about a DT who’s reliable in both phases of the game. Whether you need a pass-rushing catalyst or a stout run defender with two-gapping ability, Oregon’s Derrick Harmon has what you need.
That’s why he’s a popular Round 1 target. At around 6’4 1/2″ and a playing weight of 320 pounds, with over 34″ arms, Harmon outmatches many blockers off size alone. In the run game, his anchor strength and shedding ability can be overwhelming, and his violent hands erode blocks on the rush.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Omarion Hampton, RB | North Carolina
Jeanty is the most heavily marketed Round 1 RB in the 2025 NFL Draft, but there’s another player who should hear his name called within the first 32 picks in a just world: North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton.
Having amassed 3,164 yards and 30 touchdowns over the past two seasons, Hampton has the tools to be an impact starter as a volume back in the NFL. At 6’0″, 221 pounds, his size and physicality stand out as separating traits, but he brings even more to the table.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Emeka Egbuka, WR | Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka is a well-built movement-Z receiver who projects as an impact NFL starter. He offers good overall size for the position and has good strength and athleticism. He primarily aligned in the slot while at Ohio State, but he has the size, athleticism, and separation IQ to move across the formation.
Egbuka is an excellent route runner, who can use head and body fakes to create separation while also using his hands to keep his body clear through stems. He’s a third-down machine who consistently gets open and moves the chains. He has extremely strong hands and outstanding body control over the middle, and after the catch, he’s tough and competitive with the ball in his hands.
Great mock draft! Love the Warren pick
Let’s go
