2025 NFL Mock Draft

 

1. Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward, QB, Miami

This pick has been written in pen for over a month now. The Titans made no moves at QB in free agency and aren’t going into the season with Will Levis atop the depth chart.

Ward’s ultimate ceiling is deserving of the No. 1 overall pick.

Get the full breakdown on Ward's dynasty value.

2. Cleveland Browns - Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Fantasy players rejoice! The Browns have said multiple times this offseason that they see WR as Hunter’s primary position. The question now becomes exactly how his snaps will be split between WR and CB. But this landing spot would put Hunter in the mix as a top-five pick in superflex rookie drafts.

See what makes Hunter such an exciting dynasty prospect.

3. New York Giants - Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

The Giants wouldn’t have signed QBs Russell Wilson AND Jameis Winston if they were in love with a QB at No. 3 overall. The decision to pass on the position is easier with Carter available. Some view him as the best player in the class.

Carters tops our 2025 IDP Rookie Rankings.

4. New England Patriots - Will Campbell, OL, LSU

The Patriots would love to trade down here – and it’s possible that some team (Bears? Cowboys?) is hot enough on RB Ashton Jeanty to make the move.

If the Patriots stay put, I expect them to go the safe route with Campbell, an experienced starter from a big-time program who can play LT or guard. 

5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

I’m buying the late buzz that the Jaguars will go offense with this pick under new HC Liam Coen. And Jeanty, particularly in a weak overall class, is not a reach at this spot. In fact, he sits No. 3 on Arif Hasan’s Consensus Big Board.

6. Las Vegas Raiders - Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

I’m not sure if the Raiders are truly in on Jeanty or not. But I don’t think it’ll matter (unless they want to trade up to No. 5). Membou, at 6’4, 332 pounds with a 9.90 Relative Athletic Score, has the highest ceiling in this year’s offensive line class.

7. New York Jets - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

The Jets seem truly optimistic about QB Justin Fields. Adding a passer-friendly target like Warren would certainly help Fields’ chances of sticking as a long-term starter. This, of course, would not be an ideal spot for Warren’s short-term fantasy value.

Here's the scoop on Warren's dynasty value.

8. Carolina Panthers - Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

GM Dan Morgan, a former NFL LB, has made it clear throughout the pre-draft process that he intends to beef up the defense. Adding Walker would be a great start. He was a versatile chess piece at Georgia, playing EDGE, outside LB, and inside LB.

9. New Orleans Saints - Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

I bet HC Kellen Moore would push for WR Tetairoa McMillan here. But the Saints opt for a player with higher positional value instead. Williams could learn a lot from and eventually replace Cameron Jordan, who turns 36 in July.

10. Chicago Bears - Kelvin Banks, OL, Texas

Don’t be surprised if the Bears make a move up to pick No. 4 or 5 for Jeanty. But in this scenario, they continue to fortify the offensive line with Banks, a three-year college starter who can play LT or kick inside to guard.

11. San Francisco 49ers - Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

A once-stacked 49ers defensive line has thinned out. Nolen comes with some character concerns but has an exciting ceiling as an athletic gap shooter.

12. Dallas Cowboys - Tet McMillan, WR, Arizona

Dallas has been connected to WRs throughout the pre-draft process. They might opt for the speedy Matthew Golden over McMillan – but that’d be a mistake. Let’s trust Jerry Jones and the crew to make the right call.

McMillan has long-term WR1 dynasty upside.

13. Miami Dolphins - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The Dolphins have glaring needs on both lines and in the secondary, so there are lots of possibilities here. But Graham would be impossible to pass up if he falls to this spot. He doesn’t quite meet typical NFL size thresholds, but Graham wins with his motor and quickness.

14. Indianapolis Colts - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

I’m not convinced that the Colts are all-in on a TE in Round 1 – but there’s a good chance Loveland is the top player on their board in this scenario. The 21-year-old actually beat TE Tyler Warren in Dominator Rating last year (42% to 34%).

Is Loveland actually the TE1 in this class? Here's why he could be.

15. Atlanta Falcons - Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

The Falcons NEED to go pass rusher here, right?! Green comes with off-field baggage but is a twitched-up athlete who led the FBS with 17 sacks last year.

16. Arizona Cardinals - Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Arizona has holes all over its defense, so this could also be an EDGE player or even LB Jihaad Campbell. But my guess is Barron would top their board here. He played inside and outside at Texas, leading the SEC with five INTs and 16 passes defensed last year.

17. Cincinnati Bengals - Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

Stewart is a bet-on-traits pick. He never had more than 1.5 sacks in a college season. But he led the Aggies with 39 pressures last year and earned a perfect 10.0 Relative Athletic Score at the Combine.

18. Seattle Seahawks - Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Zabel played both tackle and guard spots at North Dakota State. He’ll likely play inside as a pro, where the Seahawks need tons of help. Zabel is an excellent athlete, earning a 9.49 Relative Athletic Score, making him a strong fit in new OC Klint Kubiak’s scheme.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Campbell is recovering from left shoulder surgery but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. The injury would be less of a concern for the Bucs, who would view Campbell as the eventual Lavonte David replacement, rather than an immediate impact starter.

20. Denver Broncos - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

There’s buzz that the Broncos are looking to trade up, which I’m guessing would be for RB Ashton Jeanty or WR Tetairoa McMillan. 

If they stay here, I think HC Sean Payton gets himself a three-down back in Hampton. From Deuce McAllister to Mark Ingram to Alvin Kamara, RB has always been an important position in Payton’s offense.

Here's the lowdown on Hampton's dynasty value.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Full disclosure: I’m not convinced the Steelers go Sanders here. But I do think he goes Round 1 – and I’m not sure where else to put him.

It does sound like HC Mike Tomlin is a Sanders fan, which carries lots of weight in the Steelers organization.

See why Sanders is not an exciting dynasty prospect.

22. Los Angeles Chargers - Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

This 330-pounder would be a nice add to a Chargers defensive line that could use some beef after losing DT Poona Ford in free agency. The fact that Grant played under HC Jim Harbaugh at Michigan doesn't hurt.

23. Green Bay Packers - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

The Packers take a Round 1 WR for the first time since Javon Walker way back in 2002. Golden could come off the board as early as pick No. 12. But, with an iffy production profile, this is the range he belongs.

Here's why Golden could be overvalued in your dynasty drafts.

24. * TRADE * New York Giants (from Minnesota Vikings) - Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

The buzz is that Dart is HC Brian Daboll’s guy. The Giants might be able to sit and get him with the 34th overall pick. But it’d make sense to move up 10 spots and secure the fifth-year option on his contract.

The Vikings currently own just four picks in this draft, making them a logical trade-down candidate. They could snag pick Nos. 34, 99, and 105 for No. 24.

Dart's dynasty value comes with a low floor but exciting ceiling. Here's why.

25. Houston Texans - Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

The Texans signed OTs Cam Robinson and Trent Brown and G Laken Tomlinson to one-year deals in free agency to patch up the O-line. But they still need long-term building blocks to protect QB C.J. Stroud. Booker was a two-year starter at ‘Bama and is a bull at 6’5, 321 pounds.

26. Los Angeles Rams - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

WR Puka Nacua is a long-term building block. But WR Davante Adams is 32 and signed for only two years. And the depth chart is weak otherwise, so adding Egbuka would make sense for a Sean McVay offense that wants three WRs on the field.

See why Ebguka is one of the safer prospects in this WR class.

27. Baltimore Ravens - Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Starks just feels like a Raven: smart, tough, and versatile. He'd tag team with Kyle Hamilton to give Baltimore one of the league's best safety duos.

28. Detroit Lions - Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

The Lions strengthen a strength by adding Jackson to their offensive line. A three-year college starter, Jackson can play both tackle and guard, making him a potential immediate replacement for G Kevin Zeitler.

29. Washington Commanders - Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

The Commanders dumped resources into the offense this offseason, trading for OT Laremy Tunsil and WR Deebo Samuel. They turn their attention to the other side of the ball here. Ezeiruaku ranked top three in the FBS in both sacks (16.5) and tackles for loss (21) last year.

30. Buffalo Bills - Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Tre White is not an answer for Buffalo's outside CB spot opposite Christian Benford. Hairston started the past two years at Kentucky and is ready to contribute immediately for the win-now Bills.

31. Kansas City Chiefs - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

The Chiefs need to bolster the offensive line after QB Patrick Mahomes got shellacked in the Super Bowl. If not for the patella injury he suffered in October, Simmons could have been the top OT in this year's class. He's expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

32. Philadelphia Eagles - James Pearce, EDGE, Tennessee

The Eagles lost Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, and Brandon Graham this offseason, making the defensive line a relative area of need on this loaded roster. Pearce racked up 17.5 sacks and an SEC-high 107 pressures over the past two seasons.
