In this 7-round NFL Mock Draft, we use the data from the PFSN NFL Mock Draft Simulator‘s users to help guide our first-round selections. We will take a look at the positions being drafted the most by our users and the players being targeted with those selections.
From there, we continued the mock by addressing what our users see as the team’s other needs. Where possible, we paired commonly matched teams and players from our MDS data. If not possible, we used the best available players on our board to make our selections.
The results are intriguing, with some first-round picks diverting from consensus but staying true to the way our users think their team may approach this year’s NFL Draft.
1) Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
The Tennessee Titans have done very little to address their quarterback situation in free agency, suggesting that their eggs are firmly in the basket of adding a rookie this offseason. Most reports have their target being Cam Ward rather than Shedeur Sanders.
Ward is the upside play as the ultimate playmaker at QB, boasting elite arm talent, effortless velocity, and dynamic athleticism. His confidence and creativity set him apart, but more development is required before he will be anything close to the finished product. With Will Levis and Brandon Allen on the roster, Ward’s development will come on the field in 2025.
2) Cleveland Browns
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
The Cleveland Browns are the ultimate wild card in the 2025 NFL Draft. They certainly need to do something at quarterback, with Deshaun Watson unlikely to play significant time in 2025 and Kenny Pickett profiling as more of a backup than a full-time starter. However, throwing Shedeur Sanders into this roster in 2025 may not be the smartest move in terms of his development.
Therefore, in this mock, the Browns choose superior talent over positional need. Abdul Carter is viewed as a generational prospect, and pairing Carter and Myles Garrett would potentially take this defense from very good to great. Carter is incredibly talented in multiple facets and will learn to hone his craft while working opposite of one of the best pass rushers to ever play the game.
3) New York Giants
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The New York Giants’ current quarterback situation sees them with Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. They have the pieces of a developing roster and need a quarterback to take the spotlight. Sanders is the quarterback built to take that spotlight and shine. He may not make the “wow” plays Ward does, but he is the safer projection to the NFL as far as talent.
The signing of Winston means that Sanders does not have to start Week 1. However, he will have a chance to compete alongside Winston and potentially earn that No. 1 role. This takes some of the pressure off Sanders, but it doesn’t put him in a spot where he has one of the more established veterans to compete with.
4) New England Patriots
Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
The New England Patriots have had a fantastic offseason, but they still have a few needs to fill. One of those is at wide receiver, though they also have questionable depth at cornerback. Travis Hunter could address both of those needs with one selection, which is a rare commodity to find.
Opinions are split on whether Hunter should primarily be a cornerback or a wide receiver in the NFL, and New England might be the place where he can find that out in the easiest way possible. The Patriots have two studs at cornerback, so they do not need to rush Hunter into a full-time role in the defensive backfield. Meanwhile, he can play valuable snaps at wide receiver, proving his worth as a No. 1 receiver while having a smaller role on defense.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
There are a few directions the Jacksonville Jaguars could go in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with a new head coach/general manager combination in town, predicting their move is tough.
Hunter would be a great fit here as he could slot into roles at both cornerback and wide receiver without needing to be a full-time player at either position initially. However, with Hunter off the board, reinforcing the defensive line is the smart move for the Jaguars.
There are plenty of EDGE options to pick from, and they could move back a few spots to add more capital and still have their pick. However, staying at No. 5 and picking Mason Graham is a move they are unlikely to regret. Graham is a potential game-wrecker up the middle, and getting one of those is vital in the modern NFL.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Las Vegas Raiders have had an intriguing offseason. They have addressed several needs and are set themselves up nicely with the No. 6 pick in terms of their options. With needs at running back, wide receiver, cornerback, and defensive tackle, they should be able to address at least one of those needs in this spot.
Ashton Jeanty will likely divide opinion among fans and analysts no matter who takes him. We have seen that he is a devastating back during his time at college, but questions remain over the competition level and the value of a running back at sixth overall. Jeanty fills the Raiders’ biggest need and can be that dominating back for this offense under the Pete Carroll-Chip Kelly regime.
7) New York Jets
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
With Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses’ departures, the New York Jets watched 1,247 snaps at offensive tackle leave the team. Last year’s first-round selection, Olu Fashanu, is expecting to fill one of those spots, having covered for both at times last year while starting a total of seven games. However, the opposite tackle spot remains uncertain.
Armand Membou could be the solution to that hole for the Jets. Given that Fashanu played left tackle at times last year, that is the presumed plan for him, so Membou coming in as a right tackle is not a major concern. Membou would head into the NFL with a fantastic résumé in terms of the quality of opposing rushers he faced in college.
8) Carolina Panthers
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Carolina Panthers have had a fantastic offseason, leaving them in a spot where they can target the best player available rather than drafting specifically to fill needs. The main areas where they will look to improve on Days 1 and 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft are cornerback, safety, EDGE, and wide receiver.
The best player available across those positions on our board is cornerback Will Johnson. Cornerback may not look like a need in this draft after extending Jaycee Horn and re-signing Mike Jackson, but the depth behind that duo is questionable, and Jackson’s two-year deal is really a one-year deal with a club option for 2026.
Johnson is a talented player who, when combined with Horn, could give the Panthers the best CB duo in the league. They should not ignore that long-term outlook just because they brought back Jackson this offseason.
9) New Orleans Saints
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The New Orleans Saints have had a solid offseason so far, but one area they have not really addressed is their offensive skill positions. Bringing back Juwan Johnson and signing Brandin Cooks are smart moves but do not suddenly take this offense up a gear. With questions about Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed’s long-term future, adding another playmaker at wide receiver needs to be a priority.
Tetairoa McMillan is the most versatile of the projected first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. He can line up all over the field and succeed in several roles, whether on the outside, in the slot, over the middle of the field, or in the red zone. Regardless of whether Shaheed and Olave are in New Orleans long-term, McMillan is a fantastic addition who will help this offense.
10) Chicago Bears
Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Chicago Bears revamped the interior of their offensive line in the offseason, but they did not make any upgrades at tackle. That could be viewed as a vote of confidence in Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright from Ben Johnson or an indictment of the offensive tackle talent available in free agency.
The Bears can address the offensive tackle position in the 2025 NFL Draft with Will Campbell, who projects as a potential starting left tackle from Day 1. Campbell would enter training camp as immediate competition for both Jones and Wright. At worst, he will be a high-level backup in 2025 and a succession plan for Jones when he moves on as a free agent next year.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
It has been a tough offseason for the San Francisco 49ers, with several departures and very few high-level additions. The 49ers hope that a combination of fewer injuries and key NFL Draft additions will be enough to drive a return to the playoffs next season.
The 49ers need to focus on the defense after losing depth at defensive tackle and edge rusher. Shemar Stewart helps fix one of those elements as an exciting pass rusher who is also a stout run defender. He demonstrated his athletic potential at the NFL Scouting Combine, and with further refinement, his ceiling in the NFL is very high.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
The Dallas Cowboys are another team with many needs to address this offseason while coming off a bad 2024 season. The issue is that most of their needs either do not offer much value at this point (CB, G, and RB) or offer better value later in the draft (EDGE). That leaves Matthew Golden as their most selected player by fans in the MDS over the past week.
In terms of need, it makes sense as the Cowboys lost Brandin Cooks and do not have a definitive No. 2 in their offense. Golden can be that difference-maker opposite CeeDee Lamb. He has tremendous athleticism and does a lot of little things right. This would be a very exciting pick and immediately upgrade the Cowboys’ offense.
13) Miami Dolphins
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
The Miami Dolphins have had a relatively quiet offseason. The biggest storyline has been about the departures and Terron Armstead’s potential retirement. Regardless of whether Armstead comes back or not, the Dolphins need to think about their future at tackle. They may believe that is Patrick Paul, but he is a tough projection as a long-term left tackle.
Kelvin Banks Jr. is a much easier projection to that role. He’s a natural mover with quick feet and impressive short-area explosiveness. Thanks to his low center of gravity and determined mentality, he drives defenders off the ball, and as a fallback, Banks could slide inside to guard, whether temporarily for 2025 or as a long-term move to allow Paul to play left tackle.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Tyler Warren to the Indianapolis Colts might be the most common player-team pair in mock drafts worldwide. Warren is a fearless competitor, dominant in the run game, and a physical yet savvy receiver with dangerous run-after-the-catch potential. He is a dominant and instinctive playmaker, and his positional versatility makes him a weapon on all three downs, adding to his value at the next level.
The Colts desperately need a tight end they can rely on. They have made do at the position for far too long and have a chance to change that this offseason. A good tight end changes the dynamic of an offense, both in the run and pass game. Warren is capable of being the full package for the Colts, and he is so highly thought of as a prospect that Indianapolis may need to move up in the draft to secure him.
15) Atlanta Falcons
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 he’s capable of winning as a pass rusher in several ways. That is exactly the skill set the Atlanta Falcons need to fill their biggest hole.
Atlanta has added Leonard Floyd to a pass rush that underwhelmed last season, but they are still far from a complete group. The only concern for the Falcons is they need a Day 1 contributor, and Williams projects as a player who needs time to develop in the NFL.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Jalon Walker, EDGE/LB, Georgia
Jalon Walker’s NFL outlook 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. He has the athleticism and natural talent to be successful at the NFL level, but the question for any team that drafts him is whether that will be an EDGE or linebacker.
The Arizona Cardinals need to fill both spots, which affords them the flexibility to see how Walker adapts before they make a decision. The risk with Walker is that he is forever an in-between player who can never truly dominate in either role. The upside is that he allows the Cardinals to use both four- and five-man fronts interchangeably, with Walker being that wild card option at outside linebacker.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
The Cincinnati Bengals need to focus heavily on their defense in the 2025 NFL Draft. If Trey Hendrickson leaves, they may decide that a pass rusher is the bigger need here. Similarly, if Ohio State’s Williams falls, he could be too good to pass up, especially if they can pair him with Hendrickson in a dynamic duo.
If neither of those things happens, then Derrick Harmon is a fantastic option to fill the gaping hole in the middle of their defensive line. Putting Harmon into a group with B.J. Hill and Tedarrell Slaton will offer the Bengals tremendous upside on the interior of their line. Harmon can be a disruptor in both the run and pass game, which is all you can ask for from a first-round pick at defensive tackle.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Tyler Booker, G, Alabama
Tyler Booker may divide opinions as a first-round pick due to his disappointing athletic showing at the NFL Combine. A 3.93 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) is historically low for a first-round selection, but Booker’s play style and position as a guard could still make him a productive option despite the concerns.
With a low center of gravity and a thick, well-proportioned frame, Booker is difficult to move at the point of attack. His powerful lower half helps him neutralize power rushes along the interior, and his flexibility maximizes his strength. Additionally, Booker fills a significant need for the Seahawks in the interior of their offensive line, an area that requires improvement to protect Sam Darnold in 2025.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
After a busy offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the 2025 NFL Draft in a position to target talent rather than focusing solely on needs. Few prospects are as talented as Nick Emmanwori, who posted an impressive 10.00 RAS at the NFL Combine. His positional versatility makes him a potential asset in multiple roles on defense.
However, there is a concern with players like Emmanwori — the “jack of all trades, master of none” dilemma. His ability to play multiple positions could mean he never fully excels at one, but with a strong defensive coach like Todd Bowles, Emmanwori’s potential could be maximized.
20) Denver Broncos
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Denver Broncos were a surprise package in the 2024 NFL season, but their offense often struggled. Despite having one of the best offensive lines in the league, their weapons were a weak point. They addressed the tight end position with Evan Engram and now turn to wide receiver and running back as their key needs in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Emeka Egbuka is a well-built slot receiver who projects as a reliable chain mover at the next level. He has good size, strength, and athleticism. Egbuka should complement Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin in the Broncos’ offense.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ most obvious need is quarterback, but the value is tough at No. 21. The position’s importance may lead them to take a swing on Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe in the first round, but they have already been bitten by that logic with Kenny Pickett.
Instead, the Steelers focused on another need by selecting cornerback Jahdae Barron. Primarily dominating as an outside corner, Barron was not only a lockdown player in coverage but also a turnover-producing machine with five interceptions in 2024. Barron projects best to bump inside to slot cornerback due to a lack of overall length, which makes it difficult for him to win reps as often on the outside in the NFL.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Los Angeles Chargers could go in several directions here, but selecting a potential game-changing tight end offers great value. Will Dissly performed well last year and they signed Tyler Conklin, but it’s unlikely they are seen as the long-term answer for the Chargers. Colston Loveland’s background as a Michigan player adds to the fit.
Loveland is a long, lean tight end with excellent overall athleticism. He is a natural receiver who was grossly under-used throughout his collegiate career. He aligned all over the formation for the Wolverines but was at his best operating detached from the line of scrimmage and in the slot.
23) Green Bay Packers
Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
The Green Bay Packers have had a busy few weeks, with Jaire Alexander’s future remaining uncertain. If he departs, cornerback becomes an urgent need.
Shavon Revel Jr.’s impressive combination of height, length, and speed gives him a promising future at cornerback. He has a tremendous football IQ, is effective when mirroring opposing receivers, and has impressive ball-tracking skills, though he is coming off a major injury and went to a small school. However, he was projected as a potential top-10 pick before his injury.
If Alexander stays, a potential pass-game disruptor like James Peace Jr. may make more sense here, but cornerback is still a need they need to address in the first two days.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
The Minnesota Vikings have set themselves up fairly nicely this offseason. Quarterback remains a concern but not one they will address with another rookie, and there is not great value at interior offensive line at this point.
That leaves the defensive backfield, where there is a lack of depth, especially at safety. It is a need to think about for 2026 and beyond, and Malaki Starks fits that need, even if his stock did take a bit of a hit after an unimpressive showing at the NFL Combine. The tape demonstrates that Starks has the potential to be an NFL-level starting safety and can also offer value covering receivers out of the slot.
25) Houston Texans
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Houston Texans tore their line down in the early stages of the offseason and have gradually rebuilt it. However, none of their additions have been long-term solutions, with Cam Robinson joining on a one-year deal at left tackle. That leaves OT as a place they should invest but affords them the luxury of taking someone who needs time to develop.
Josh Simmons is a very talented player, but he is coming off a serious knee injury. Robinson can provide Simmons time to make sure he is back to 100% health. Before the injury, Simmons was potentially a top-10 selection, meaning the Texans are getting tremendous upside at a nice price.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
The Los Angeles Rams’ three biggest needs are on the defensive side of the ball. If a player like Revel fell, they might select him, but the value at cornerback drops off a little after Revel and Johnson are off the board. That could make the Rams a trade-back candidate if a team is looking to move up; if not, they could get tremendous value with Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell.
Campbell is an excellent athlete who can be an immediate asset to the Rams in the middle of their defense. Their current depth chart leaves a lot to be desired, and Campbell is a potential green dot candidate as the captain of the defense. He has the exciting blend of speed, power, and length required to be a highly disruptive player at the second level of an NFL defense.
27) Baltimore Ravens
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Pearce is an intriguing prospect because he has all the athleticism and talent you could ask for but comes with some off-the-field concerns. A team willing to look past that — or with the structure to handle it — could benefit from drafting a talented player with scheme versatility.
Pearce is capable of playing in either a 4-3 or 3-4 system but arguably fits better into the Baltimore Ravens’ 4-3 style. Learning from a player like Kyle Van Noy will allow Pearce to become a more well-rounded player who is capable of being an asset in several roles. His strength as a passer rusher gives him a high floor, but the ceiling is what will really entice teams in the first round of drafts.
28) Detroit Lions
Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Detroit Lions have made great moves this offseason, but their pass rush remains a concern with Za’Darius Smith’s departure and Aidan Hutchinson recovering from injury. Nic Scourton could be the solution, with the ability to rotate between outside linebacker and inside pass-rushing roles. His versatility offers depth at multiple positions while providing a high ceiling as a pass rusher.
29) Cleveland Browns (From WAS)
Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Trade: The Browns send Nos. 33, 94, and 216 to the Commanders for No. 29.
The Browns passed on a quarterback earlier but jumped back into the first round to grab one, with Dart being the target. Dart is far from a sure thing as a quarterback prospect, but he has a lot of high-end traits, including his leadership, which is something this offense has appeared to lack at times.
Though Dart’s skill set is promising, his transition to the NFL carries risk. He has experience at the highest level of college football, and his rookie year will be a tough test. Dart could compete with Pickett for a Week 1 starting job in Cleveland.
30) Buffalo Bills
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
The Buffalo Bills addressed their edge-rusher needs by adding Joey Bosa and Michael Hoecht, but defensive tackle remains a priority. Kenneth Grant, an explosive prospect from Michigan, combines speed, size, and power to disrupt opposing offenses. While he may not always show up on the stat sheet, Grant’s ability to occupy blockers will allow other defenders to thrive. His floor is a dominant run defender, with a high upside as a pass rusher.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive tackle depth is a concern, even after adding Jerry Tillery. Walter Nolen could be the first of several defensive tackle picks in the draft. Nolen has excellent speed and power, making him a disruptive force against both the run and pass. His high ceiling and consistent production as a role player could make him a key addition to the Chiefs’ defensive line rotation.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
With the loss of key contributors along their defensive line — Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, and Brandon Graham — the Philadelphia Eagles could target an edge rusher or defensive tackle in the first round. They added Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari, but there still is a need to address.
Donovan Ezeiruaku offers high upside as a pass rusher with fantastic sack numbers at Boston College in 2024. As a pass rusher, there is a lot to like about Ezeiruaku’s skills and production potential. Though his run defense could be a concern, Ezeiruaku’s ability to disrupt passing plays makes him a perfect rotational player early in his career, fitting well into the Eagles’ system.
Round 2 | 33) Washington Commanders (From CLE)
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Trade: The Browns send Nos. 33, 94, and 216 to the Commanders for No. 29.
The Commanders could trade back again in this situation as teams could look to grab their quarterback of the future. However, Mike Green is a high-upside option for them to consider.
Green will split opinions because of the production vs. competition debate. The sack numbers are incredibly impressive, and the traits are there for it to transfer into the NFL. However, he may also need to develop elements of his game and his frame to have success at the NFL level. The Commanders need a disruptor at EDGE, and Green certainly offers that potential.
34) New York Giants
Grey Zabel, G, North Dakota State
After selecting their quarterback of the future in Round 1, the Giants shift their focus to protecting him. Grey Zabel is intriguing due to his versatility — he played at a smaller program but has the skill set to line up anywhere along the offensive line. He’s expected to settle at guard in the NFL, which fills a major need for the Giants.
35) Tennessee Titans
Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Titans pair their new quarterback with a playmaking wide receiver. Luther Burden III was once projected as a mid-first-round pick, but his stock has dipped, making him a potential early Day 2 selection. He profiles as a slot receiver and could contribute immediately, complementing Calvin Ridley in the Titans’ offense.
36) Jacksonville Jaguars
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
With Evan Engram gone, the Jaguars need to address the tight end position. Harold Fannin Jr. is an intriguing option because of his ability to function as an oversized slot receiver while also taking snaps out of the backfield. Teams often talk about having a “joker” in their offense — Fannin fits that role perfectly.
37) Las Vegas Raiders
Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Raiders badly need to upgrade their cornerback group after losing Nate Hobbs in free agency. While they have some interesting pieces, there’s no clear No. 1 option to shut down opposing receivers. Benjamin Morrison has demonstrated that ability in college and is also a strong zone defender with great speed and ball skills.
38) San Francisco 49ers (From NE)
Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
Trade: The 49ers send Nos. 43 and 113 to the Patriots for No. 38.
The 49ers capitalize on the depth at defensive tackle, trading up to grab a first-round talent who slipped. With Javon Hargrave gone, they need a difference-maker on the interior, and Williams provides that potential. Given other teams in this range are also eyeing defensive tackles, San Francisco makes the smart move to jump ahead.
39) Chicago Bears
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
There’s been plenty of talk about Ben Johnson reshaping the Bears’ running back room. Johnson leaned on a two-back system in Detroit, and Omarion Hampton could fill a similar role in Chicago. Hampton is a three-down back with upside as both a runner and receiver. He could sneak into the first round if a team falls in love with his skill set, but if not, he’s a strong pick early on Day 2.
40) New Orleans Saints
Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State
With Lucas Patrick unsigned, the Saints need to address the guard position. Donovan Jackson brings intelligence, mobility, and power to the position. His athleticism and strong hands make him an ideal long-term addition to their offensive line.
41) Chicago Bears
Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
There’s debate over how high safety ranks on the Bears’ priority list, but with Kevin Byard aging and Jaquan Brisker dealing with injuries, adding depth makes sense. Watts has versatility — he can contribute as a slot corner while waiting for a starting safety role to open up.
42) New York Jets
Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
Garrett Wilson needs a reliable No. 2 receiver, and Tre Harris fits the bill. He’s a physically imposing target with excellent body control and strong hands in contested situations. He’d be a valuable weapon alongside Wilson and Breece Hall, giving Justin Fields another playmaker.
43) New England Patriots (From SF)
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Trade: The 49ers send Nos. 43 and 113 to the Patriots for No. 38.
The Patriots’ offensive line is a work in progress. Moses should lock down right tackle, and Garrett Bradbury will play center. The question is whether Michael Onwenu plays guard or left tackle. Josh Conerly Jr. has the potential to play left tackle but could also slot in at guard if needed.
44) Pittsburgh Steelers (From DAL)
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Trade: The Steelers send Nos. 83 and 123 and a second- and third-round selection in 2026 to the Cowboys for No. 44.
With no second-round pick, the Steelers would have to pay a high price to move up and select Milroe in this mock draft. However, if they sign Aaron Rodgers, they are unlikely to make this move.
Milroe may be the most physically gifted quarterback in this class, but there is enough concern that he is unlikely to be a first-round pick. The raw talent and potential are huge, which will intrigue teams, but the bust potential is equally big.
45) Indianapolis Colts
Wyatt Milum, G, West Virginia
Will Fries and Ryan Kelly left some gaping holes on the interior of the Colts’ offensive line. Wyatt Milum offers a safe projection at guard but comes with a limited upside. However, the Colts could do with adding stability to this unit as a priority because a swing and a miss on a high-upside prospect could put them in a tough spot in 2025.
46) Atlanta Falcons
Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
The Falcons focused on the front end of their defense in the first round but improved their defensive backfield with their second selection. Behind A.J. Terrell Jr., the Falcons depth chart at corner leaves a lot to be desired, so they need a potential Week 1 starter. Having played in the SEC, Trey Amos should come in as close to pro-ready as it gets and has the athletic upside to develop into a high-upside player.
47) Arizona Cardinals
Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
The Cardinals’ defensive tackle depth chart does not inspire much confidence. While Deone Walker’s athleticism did not jump out in testing, his quickness off the ball on tape stands out; at his size, that can be an exciting proposition. If the Cardinals can harness his potential, he could be a long-term starter in their system.
48) Miami Dolphins
Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona
Jonah Savaiinaea played tackle in college, but his projection is stronger at guard, an area of need for the Dolphins. Even if they take an offensive lineman in the first round, they still need to hammer home the position in terms of starting upside and depth during this draft. Savaiinaea would offer starting potential at both guard and tackle as a rookie.
49) Cincinnati Bengals
Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
After getting an interior defensive option in the first round, the Bengals add an athletic talent in the second in Landon Jackson. He tested well at the NFL Combine and would make a fantastic partner for Hendrickson if the team can keep him. Assuming they do, Harmon and Jackson as rookies immediately boost this defensive front to an above-average unit.
50) Seattle Seahawks
Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Seahawks continue to focus on protecting Darnold in the second round, this time by adding competition at offensive tackle. Both Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas are set to be free agents next offseason, so the Seahawks need to have some long-term planning and add competition for them in 2025.
Aireontae Ersery could push to start at either spot this offseason, even if his projection to the NFL profiles more at right tackle. Given the improvements we saw in Cross last season, replacing Lucas at right tackle might be the more natural fit anyway.
51) Denver Broncos
Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
Kaleb Johnson has an extremely intriguing profile — he offers both power and agility, which is a rare combination to find, and proved last year that he can be an asset in the receiving game with 22 receptions for 188 yards. He has the potential to be the “joker” that Sean Payton talked about earlier this offseason.
52) Seattle Seahawks
Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
The Seahawks may have somewhat addressed their wide receiver position by adding Cooper Kupp, but that is likely a short-term solution. Jaxon Smith-Njigba found his own role, and DK Metcalf’s role remains vacant. Elic Ayomanor offers the Seahawks a player who could move into that position on the outside.
Ayomanor tested well this offseason, which makes him an extremely intriguing Day 2 prospect when combined with his tools. He still needs to refine his route running and releases, but the catch radius is impressive and he could be a fantastic boundary weapon for the Seahawks.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
With the Buccaneers addressing the safety or slot cornerback position with Emmanwori in the first round, they come back and draft Carson Schwesinger, a potential long-term leader for their defense. While he lacks experience as a starter, his talent is tremendous; having the opportunity to refine those skills behind Lavonte David is a perfect landing spot for the UCLA linebacker.
54) Green Bay Packers
Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
The Packers have some solid pass rush options, but with Rashan Gary not kicking, they don’t have a game-changing set of pass rushers. Drafting one in the second round does not assure the Packers an elite option, but Princely Umanmielen has an impressive résumé and the athleticism to transfer nicely to the NFL level.
55) New York Giants (From LAC)
Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
Trade: The Giants send the 65th pick and a 2026 third-round selection to the Chargers for pick 55.
The Giants addressed the interior of their offensive line earlier in the round and now they jump up 10 spots to grab an offensive tackle prospect who could be the answer at one of their tackle spots. Cameron Williams has all the tools to be a long-term tackle at the NFL level. His starting experience came at right tackle with Texas, but the competition level was high, which should serve him well in the NFL.
There will be questions about whether he can play left tackle in the NFL after never doing it at the college level. However, the tools make it a possibility that teams may want to explore. At worst, he should be a starter at right tackle as early as Week 1 of his rookie season.
56) Buffalo Bills
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
The Bills’ secondary depth was exploited by the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Dane Jackson is back to partner with Christian Benford and Taron Johnson, but the depth behind that trio remains an issue. Maxwell Hairston set the NFL Combine alight with his speed. His tape shows it as well as his play-making skill. He could push for a starting role immediately or be a high-level backup in 2025.
57) Carolina Panthers
Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Adam Thielen’s return reduces some of the urgency to add a wide receiver, but there is a long-term concern. Additionally, Thielen was not suited to be a No. 1 receiver in his prime and needs someone to take that responsibility off his shoulders to thrive in space.
Isaiah Bond has the potential to be a No. 1 receiver at a bargain price. He has the pedigree of playing at Alabama and Texas, demonstrating his upside, but getting him to play to that level consistently will be the challenge. If Dave Canales and his coaches can, then there is a true long-term No. 1 caliber player to be unlocked.
58) Houston Texans
Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue
You will see Marcus Mbow listed anywhere from tackle to center throughout this draft cycle, and that versatility is both his biggest asset and his biggest vulnerability. Having a player who can play multiple positions is great, but with no set position, it makes it hard to build the remainder of the class around him.
The positive for Mbow in Houston is their long-term need for starters at all five positions. They addressed a tackle spot in Round 1, but there is still a need at tackle, guard, and center either in 2025 or further down the line. Mbow likely settles at center or guard, where he should be a fantastic asset and a central part of the Texans’ interior over the next 4+ years.
59) Baltimore Ravens
Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia
The interior of the Ravens offensive line is somewhat questionable with Patrick Mekari’s departure. They have talented options, but you would not definitively say they can’t be replaced. Tate Ratledge could be a potential Day 1 starter at a solid value in the back end of Round 2.
Ratledge surprised people with his athleticism during testing, and his tape does not always match the numbers we saw without pads on. However, he moves well enough in space and would not be a liability in any aspect of his game.
60) Detroit Lions
Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
The Lions’ cornerback depth is generally pretty good, but we saw last year how quickly it can be exposed. Their safety depth has also taken a hit this offseason, so addressing both positions with viable backups with starting-level potential is a smart move.
Azareye’h Thomas is an ideal fit. He is a prospect who needs more development but has the skills to play a role as a rookie. He is not a player that you would want starting multiple games as a rookie, but with development, he could be a Year 2 or 3 starter with tremendous upside.
61) Washington Commanders
Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
The Commanders’ cornerback position is intriguing. Jonathan Jones provides a solid veteran presence, Marshon Lattimore provides the upside, and Mike Sainristil has developed into a reliable piece. The issue is depth behind them, a concern with Lattimore’s injuries last season.
Darien Porter would give Dan Quinn a moldable prospect with high-end traits to develop in 2025. He tested extremely well this offseason, demonstrating that potential. With no need to rush him into the starting lineup, Porter could be the perfect outside cornerback to supplant Lattimore or Jones at some point in the future.
62) Buffalo Bills
JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
The defensive reinforcements continue, this time with a pass rusher for the Bills. JT Tuimoloau is an intriguing prospect with the tools and explosiveness to be a very good pass rusher. However, he has failed to unlock his full potential at times in college so there is development to be done for him to reach his potential.
The Bills may decide to look elsewhere on draft day, simply because they have a lot of similar players to Tuimoloau, who can do a lot well but nothing brilliantly. Buffalo may prioritize a pure pass rusher who can consistently wreak havoc on opposing passing games in key moments, even if they have to sacrifice some run defense to get there.
63) Kansas City Chiefs
Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
Whether you believe the Chiefs will target an offensive tackle on the first two days depends on your belief in Jaylon Moore. From the outside, it feels like a gamble, and the Chiefs would be smart to add some competition for the position. Emery Jones Jr. can provide that, with the knowledge that his play style could suit a transition inside to guard if they are confident with Moore at left tackle.
Jones has the typical build for an NFL offensive lineman, but his athleticism can be found wanting at times on tape. However, there are a lot of technical and mental concerns that could limit his upside as a starter in a position where you can often be isolated. Any late second-round offensive lineman is going to be a gamble, and at this point, you are banking on physical traits to win out when combined with NFL-level coaching.
64) Philadelphia Eagles
Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
With Williams gone, the Eagles need the next defensive tackle in their factory. The beauty of the Eagles’ situation is that their talent and depth mean that they can use players to maximize their skills and disguise their deficiencies. Alexander has all the raw talent to be even better than Williams, and he comes into the perfect environment to refine his natural athleticism.
Round 3 | 65) Los Angeles Chargers
TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
The Chargers running back situation is not secure long-term, with Najee Harris on a one-year deal and very little in terms of long-term options behind him on the depth chart. TreVeyon Henderson could be that future star in Los Angeles as a back who can attack defenses in multiple ways and make them pay for missed tackles.
66) Kansas City Chiefs
T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
The Chiefs make it two defensive tackles in their first three picks as they further bolster their defensive tackle options with T.J. Sanders. Adding Sanders will add bulk to their run defense without compromising their pass defense, as he is more than competent rushing the passer. There is room for development here, but Sanders will likely be a run-stopping specialist as a rookie.
67) Cleveland Browns
Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
The Cleveland Browns need to add a partner for Jerry Jeudy at wide receiver. They have some useful pieces, but none that you really believe can be a consistent No. 2 receiver with No. 1 upside. Jayden Higgins offers that with his size and impressive hands. Those elements mean he excels in contested catch situations, and he is fairly scheme-diverse to add to that.
Higgins could be a useful red zone weapon, but he would not be out of place anywhere else on the field. Separation is not his strong point, so his quarterback will need to trust that when they target him, Higgins will come away with the ball and not let defensive backs beat him to the ball and take it from him.
68) Las Vegas Raiders
Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
One of the biggest holes on the Raiders roster was at wide receiver, but with a couple of other big holes to address, they have to pick their poison. In this draft, they focused on potential starters at running back and cornerback, meaning they had to wait at receiver. Getting Jaylin Noel at the start of Round 3 would be a solid way to address the position.
While Noel is far from a clear No. 1, he has the athletic traits, skills, and production to show he can be a key part of any passing offense. He offers something slightly different to the Raiders’ other receivers, which is a valuable skill.
69) New England Patriots
Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Running back may not be a major need for the Patriots amongst everything else, but Rhamondre Stevenson was a liability at times with his fumbling issues in 2024. We saw Mike Vrabel’s Tennessee teams built around a strong running game, and Quinshon Judkins could be that piece for his Patriots team.
Judkins is a prototypical running back for today’s NFL, with a well-built frame and possessing top-notch speed and explosiveness. He tested incredibly well at the NFL Combine and when combined with his tape, he looks an ideal option for any NFL offense.
70) Jacksonville Jaguars
Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
The discussion around Travon Walker’s potential departure has accelerated the need to address the Jaguars’ EDGE position. If Walker is destined to depart either this offseason or next, then the Jaguars need a consistent partner opposite Joshua Hines-Allen. Bradyn Swinson can attack opposing offenses in several different ways, making him a high-upside potential replacement for Walker.
71) New Orleans Saints
Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
The Saints’ cornerback situation is a red flag on an otherwise solid-looking defense. They have some good pieces, but there are concerns about starting-level talent and depth. Denzel Burke has the potential to address those concerns, with the potential to be a starter in 2025 and the floor to be a solid backup in his rookie season.
72) Chicago Bears
Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
The Bears’ depth chart at EDGE looks top-heavy with Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat. Behind them, there is certainly room for improvement, both in terms of a rotational role player and a high-level backup to cover either role in case of injury.
Kyle Kennard can disrupt passing games with his skills as a pass rusher. He is more of a speed rusher than a power rusher, and that presents issues against more nimble offensive linemen who can match his movements and shut him down. It also presents an issue against the run, but that is an area he can look to develop once he gets to the NFL and starts working with strength and conditioning coaches.
73) New York Jets
Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Other than some flashes from Tyler Conklin last year, tight end has been a bit of a black hole for the Jets in recent seasons. Mason Taylor may be the most well-rounded tight end in the class behind Warren, but he does not excel in any particular areas. While his skills need refinement, he should not be a liability either as a blocker or pass catcher if he is needed to start in 2025.
74) Carolina Panthers
Jared Wilson, OC, Georgia
The Panthers do not seem to know what they are going to do at center long term. They took a bit of a committee approach to the position last year and have brought all three back. That is far from ideal for a young quarterback like Bryce Young, who needs a consistent partner to develop and gel with.
Jared Wilson could be Young’s long-term partner. Wilson’s athleticism is off the charts, negating some of the concerns over only being a one-year starter. There is a lot to like about his game, and he has played the position in one of the toughest environments in college football, demonstrating that he should not be phased by the increase in competition in the NFL.
75) San Francisco 49ers
Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
The 49ers lost both Dre Greenlaw and De’Vondre Campbell Sr. this offseason and it has left the linebacker position looking thin behind Fred Warner. Chris Paul Jr. has the potential to be an immediate starter as a rookie and a future leader of this defense. He is a superb tackler who is more than competent in coverage and could easily be a three-down linebacker alongside Warner.
76) Dallas Cowboys
Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss
Trading back from the middle of the second round was a risk for the Cowboys as a lot of talent went off the board in those 30 picks. If the Cowboys feel they are a couple of difference-makers away from competing in 2025, then they likely do not do it. However, they would be somewhat foolish to believe they are a Super Bowl contender unless a lot of things break their way, so trading back to get more capital is smart.
Jared Ivey offers a lot of promise as a pass rusher from the outside. That element of his game is strong, and he has proven to have success at a high level in college. The concern is around his run defense, and that is where he will need development to be an every-down player. The upside is there, but it may not be realized in 2025, limiting his usefulness in a playoff push.
77) New England Patriots
Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
The Patriots need a lot of help at the wide receiver position, and Xavier Restrepo might not be the shiny toy that fans were hoping for. While he profiles more as a slot receiver, his route-running ability could make him a weapon all over the field. He is a dynamic and versatile weapon who could easily be the No. 1 for this offense, even if he is not the typical No. 1 that you might look for.
78) Arizona Cardinals
Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
The Cardinals need to find a reliable running mate for Marvin Harrison Jr. at wide receiver. That does not need to be a high investment, as they are looking for a No. 2, and Tez Johnson fits that profile. Johnson is a slot receiver who runs nice routes and has a twitchy play style. His speed does not blow teams away, but across the middle of the field, he has enough agility to make people miss and turn short receptions into long plays.
79) Houston Texans
Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
With some of the needs on the offensive side of the trenches fixed, the Texans focus on their defensive line. You would not say it is an area of desperate need, but there is certainly room to upgrade at various points on the depth chart.
Alfred Collins has the talent to be a top-50 player but has yet to show that on the field. With no need to rush him onto the field in a major role, the Texans have the chance to develop Collins toward his potential and make this selection look very smart.
80) Indianapolis Colts
Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
Barrett Carter feels like the forgotten man among linebacker prospects. There is some element of prospect fatigue with him, but that should not detract from the fact he could be a Day 1 starter for any team that drafts him. Carter is far from a perfect product, but he has experience and can both rush the passer and drop into coverage without being a liability in either situation.
81) Cincinnati Bengals
Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
The Bengals’ safety depth chart leaves a lot to be desired, and there is an opportunity for someone to break in as a starter in 2025. Andrew Mukuba has the experience to transition to the NFL, having played at both Clemson and Texas. However, his size will concern NFL teams and could delay his opportunities to get on the field.
Early in his career, he may be best suited to a deeper safety role where he can make breaks on the ball and use his route recognition and ball skills to disrupt passing games. However, to be a complete safety, he will need to add more mass. The issue will be doing that without compromising his other skills and his quickness in the open field.
82) Seattle Seahawks
Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
The defense takes a little bit of a backseat in the Seahawks’ needs compared to offense, but with their offensive line and wide receiver needs addressed, the focus can turn to the defense late on Day 3.
Ashton Gillotte would start his career as a role player, and the Seahawks will need to figure out whether he is better off shifting inside more or staying on the EDGE. Gillotte would be a developmental piece for the Seahawks in 2025 while offering them depth both off the edge and on the interior of the line if required.
83) Dallas Cowboys (From PIT)
DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
Trade: The Steelers send Nos. 83 and 123 and a second- and third-round selection in 2026 to the Cowboys for No. 44.
Running back is where the biggest drop-off comes from the Cowboys moving back 40 picks. Instead of Johnson, Judkins, and Henderson, they are looking at the likes of DJ Giddens and Cam Skattebo as their RB options. Skattebo has more of an Ezekiel Elliott feel to his game in terms of that power, while Giddens is a more all-around back who may not specialize in any one area.
Giddens has more developmental upside than Skattebo, and with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders on the roster in 2025, they may be able to introduce him in phases without needing to rely on him to make a difference this season. If the Cowboys believe they are challengers in 2025, then staying put in the second round and grabbing a higher projected back would make more sense for them.
84) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
The Buccaneers continue their defensive overhaul in the third round by adding Dorian Strong, a cornerback who presents a high floor as a backup in 2025 and a potential starter down the line. His main skill is man coverage, but he is competent enough in zone schemes not to stand out.
85) Denver Broncos
Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
With their main needs addressed in the first two rounds, the Broncos can draft for depth and talent upside for the remainder of the draft. That starts with Omarr Norman-Lott, who was extremely productive on minimal snaps in college.
Tennessee’s incredible depth at the position makes their prospects hard to judge, but Norman-Lott is certainly a player who can make a big impact on opposing offenses. The development potential is to take those high-impact snaps and make them more regular throughout a game. However, they can afford a luxury addition on their defensive line who plays a very specific role, as long as he is doing it well.
86) Los Angeles Chargers
Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
The Chargers’ depth chart at defensive tackle does not look particularly stable. They have some solid players but no one to build around, and then there is a lack of depth if they have to deal with a couple of injuries. Shemar Turner has the flexibility to work around the role players and the upside to be a complete tackle that they can build this line around in the future.
87) Green Bay Packers
Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
The Packers’ wide receiver situation is an odd one because what they really need is a No. 1 receiver. The issue is that when they are on the board in Round 1, there is likely no clear-cut No. 1 available that they would feel confident about. Therefore, they may need to look at a Day 2 project with the upside to be a No. 1.
Jalen Royals fits that bill nicely. He has the speed to stretch a defense and has proven he can win in contested catch situations. He is also a threat after the catch, and that means Royals is a Round 3 project pick that could be the developmental piece this offense needs over the next couple of years.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars
Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers
The Jaguars addressed their offensive line in a few different ways, and they should be in a good spot for the 2025 season. However, the group they have is not one you would feel confident will be together for the next four or five years. Therefore, they can take some swings on upside projections along the line on Day 2 and Day 3, knowing they have time to develop them.
Hollin Pierce is one of those developmental projects. He has the tools to be a very good NFL player, but he needs a lot of refinement. There is the potential that he could end up either at tackle or guard in the future, so the Jaguars have time to work with him and figure out where he fits best.
89) Houston Texans
Jack Bech, WR, TCU
Jack Bech stays in Texas, making the drive down to Houston to join a depth chart in Houston that is crammed with potential but is thin on production. Bech offers the Texans something different from what they currently have in Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. Even if Tank Dell comes back and takes the Kirk role, there is still a spot for Bech on this depth chart as a third receiver in 11 personnel.
90) Los Angeles Rams
Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)
While we saw Tyler Higbee come back and play well last season, his injury concerns mean he cannot be the long-term plan at tight end for the Rams. In terms of succession planning, Elijah Arroyo is an intriguing move late on Day 2. He has the upside to be a major part of a passing attack, but his blocking may never allow him to be a consistent tight end in a conventional sense.
91) Baltimore Ravens
Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State
With the Marcus Williams situation imploding in style last season, the Ravens now need half an eye on the safety position. Kyle Hamilton is likely to get an extension, and they have Ar’Darius Washington under contract for two years, but they were willing to let the latter test free agency this offseason.
Kevin Winston Jr. would not necessarily be someone that the Ravens would expect to start immediately, but he would be a player they can have to grow into a role over the next 12-18 months. Winston is a superb tackler and could be used in three safety sets as a rookie before being a potential heir apparent to Washington if the Ravens want to move on heading into 2026.
92) Seattle Seahawks
Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
Zy Alexander’s stock took a bit of a hit with his athletic testing scores, but he has the fluidity and skills to be a solid cornerback at the NFL level. He is not likely to be a No. 1, but with development, he could be a solid starter opposite a dominating No. 1.
The Seahawks have the depth chart to develop Alexander, but he will also be a backup with a solid floor, if not an exciting ceiling, in 2025.
93) New Orleans Saints
Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
It is reaching the point where succession planning for Alvin Kamara needs to become more important, and Cam Skattebo is an intriguing option for that role. Skattebo is a powerful back who can be a short-yardage hammer but has the agility to excel in open space, both as a runner and receiver. His numbers in his final season at Arizona State were eye-opening and demonstrated his versatility.
94) Washington Commanders (From CLE)
Trade: The Browns send Nos. 33, 94, and 216 to the Commanders for No. 29.
Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
The Commanders saw some turnover at the safety position and added a solid presence in Will Harris. However, their current depth chart certainly has room for improvement, with the potential for someone to come in and push for a starting role as a rookie. Lathan Ransom has that potential as a versatile safety who could come and do a lot of the things that Jeremy Chinn did for this defense last year.
95) Kansas City Chiefs
Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
With the big men in the trenches secured through the first two rounds, the Chiefs look to add another passing-game disruptor off the edge. George Karlaftis has been a fantastic addition, but the rest of the group largely molds into one off the other side. Charles Omenihu’s return improves the situation for 2025 but does not look like a long-term solution.
Josaiah Stewart gives the Chiefs another high-end pass rusher to work opposite Karlaftis, but he could be exposed at times in the run game. Stewart can be part of a rotation off the edge meaning that the Chiefs can mitigate his exposure against the run as much as possible while he develops.
96) Philadelphia Eagles
Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia
After addressing the defensive line, the Eagles focus on the other side of the trenches. Mehki Becton is gone, and the current situation is set up for Tyler Steen and Kenyon Green to compete as his replacement. Dylan Fairchild may be better than both of them, and he comes from the Eagles’ favorite hunting ground of Georgia.
Fairchild is a technically sound offensive lineman who lacks experience as a starter but has all the tools to be a long-term guard at the NFL level. What little experience he has comes at the very top end of the college game, so that lack of snaps should not be a major concern, especially given that the Eagles would not need him to start right away.
97) Minnesota Vikings
Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon
With so few selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Vikings have to make them all count. While their pass rush may not scream out as a need, it does look weak compared to their stacked defensive interior. Burch was productive in his final year at Oregon, and while there are issues with his run defense, he could be a valuable piece on pass-rushing downs while he develops that area of his game.
98) Miami Dolphins
Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
The depth chart for the Dolphins at defensive tackle looks extremely thin behind Zach Sieler. They will likely bolster it with more veteran options, but a couple of young defensive tackles on Day 2 and Day of the draft will add rotational depth. Joshua Farmer is a disruptive defensive lineman who can contribute both against the run and pass, which is always a valuable asset to have entering the league.
99) New York Giants
Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
The Giants have never really found the solution at the tight end position since they let Engram leave, and they address it in the third round with Gunnar Helm. There is a lot to like about Helm’s game, as he can be a contributor in both the run and pass game as a blocker, as well as being a weapon as a receiver.
100) San Francisco 49ers
Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
This offseason has left holes all over the 49ers’ defense, and cornerback is another where they need to add more talent. Cobee Bryant could present a solid value late on Day 2 as a player who has the ball skills to be a difference-maker but is solid enough in other elements of his game to not be a liability.
There is the potential for someone to emerge as a surprise starter in this depth chart, and Bryant could be that player.
101) Los Angeles Rams
Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
The Rams pass rush depth chart appears to be top-heavy with Jared Verse and Byron Young and then a number of question marks below that. Jack Sawyer may not have the most upside of EDGE prospects this year, but he is a solid floor player who can be a safe part of a rotation.
102) Detroit Lions
Jackson Slater, G, Sacramento State
With Kevin Zeritler no longer in Detroit, the Lions’ guard position looks thin entering 2025. They have a number of veteran options who could slide in and do a job in 2025, but the long-term solution does not appear to be on their roster currently. Jackson Slater posted some incredible numbers at the NFL Combine and impressed at the Senior Bowl, which may be enough to see him creep into Day 2.
