Every year, the quarterback position comes at a premium in the NFL Draft. Often we see multiple players at the QB position taken not just in the first round but in the top 10 selections. That very well could be the case in the 2025 NFL Draft, with at least four QBs already receiving first-round buzz.
In our latest 7-Round NFL Mock Draft, we had three QBs going in the top 10 and four in the first round. Let’s take a look through all seven rounds and see which QBs could be in line to be selected in Green Bay, Wisc., next April.
Who Could Be 1st-Round QBs in the 2025 NFL Draft?
The order of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft was determined using the latest Super Bowl odds for the 2024 NFL season.
1) Las Vegas Raiders: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
Trade: Raiders receive No. 1 overall pick; Panthers receive No. 8 overall pick, No. 40 overall pick, 2026 first-round pick, 2026 third-round pick.
Our first 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the cycle kicks off with a massive trade that lifts the Las Vegas Raiders to the top overall spot.
There were rumors that Mark Davis wanted to be aggressive in 2024. One year later, he gets his guy in Georgia’s Carson Beck.
Las Vegas’ roster is almost ready to insert the rookie. The weapons core is strong, the lines are improving, and Antonio Pierce has promise as head coach. Beck could be the final piece as a pocket passer with stellar arm talent, anticipation, poise, and accuracy.
2) New York Giants: Donovan Smith, QB, Houston
Picking at No. 2 overall could mean a hard reset for the New York Giants.
Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll, and Daniel Jones could all be gone. And the next regime would have the luxury of picking their next passer. In the 2025 class, Donovan Smith could command early interest.
At 6’5″, 235 pounds, raw talent is by no means in short supply with Smith. He’s a superb athlete with stellar arm talent and off-platform ability. He’ll have to cut down on turnovers, but his film is dotted with promising flashes of anticipation and sharp situational precision.
10) New York Jets: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Trade: Jets receive No. 10 overall pick; Buccaneers receive No. 22 overall pick, No. 54 overall pick, 2026 first-round pick.
The second trade of our 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft involves the New York Jets, who trade up from No. 22 to add Aaron Rodgers’ successor: Shedeur Sanders. If the Jets make the playoffs, Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas might be safe. But they must stay on the gas.

Sanders will have questions to answer about his leadership style, but there’s no questioning his ability to command an offense on the field and distribute the football. He’s a strong-armed signal-caller with stellar accuracy and precision, made potent by discretion.
11) New Orleans Saints: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
The Saints have felt very “one foot in, one foot out” with Derek Carr since almost the start of their time with him. If they land in the early teens again and Carr muddles yet again as a mid-range quarterback, they may force the issue and draft his successor.
Jaxson Dart has the raw talent that makes passers so appealing. At 6’2″, 220 pounds, he’s a live athlete with an impressively crisp and elastic arm. And while he can still improve his progression work and pocket management, the flashes of high-end anticipation are there.

55) Dallas Cowboys: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
There’s a scenario where the Cowboys lock up Dak Prescott on a short-term deal, but still leave long-term uncertainty at QB. In that scenario, investing in another big-armed pocket passer like Drew Allar could eventually pay dividends. Allar is young, but he’s growing.

77) Seattle Seahawks: Conner Weigman, QB, Texas A&M
Sam Howell already serves as Geno Smith insurance, but his contract will expire in 2026. Conner Weigman gives the Seahawks a longer-term transition plan and has talent to mold.
81) Cleveland Browns: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
The Browns are stuck with Deshaun Watson, but a long-term insurance plan like Jalen Milroe could pay off if Watson stalls out. Milroe has elite athleticism and a rocket arm.
