    Cummings’ 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Carson Beck, Shedeur Sanders Incentivize Trades in Round 1

    Published on

    In the first full 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the cycle, Carson Beck heads to Las Vegas, while Travis Hunter joins forces with Drake Maye.

    As we set off into the 2025 NFL Draft cycle, it’s time for our first full 7-Round Mock Draft of the year. What kind of haul does your team come away with across the entire 225-pick slate? Scroll down and see for yourself.

    7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 1

    The order of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft was determined using the latest Super Bowl odds for the 2024 NFL season.

    1) 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.

    3) Tennessee Titans: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU

    Bill Callahan is almost 70 years old. We only have so many years left of him as one of the greatest offensive line coaches in the sport. So let’s give him everything he needs to make one of the most terrifying lines known to man. Emery Jones Jr. is the next piece to the puzzle.

    The Titans have a formidable trio with JC Latham, Peter Skoronski, and Lloyd Cushenberry, and at right tackle, Jones can turn Will Levis’ protection unit into an undeniable strength.

    Jones has menacing strength and power, but he’s also fast and nuanced with his feet.

    4) New England Patriots: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

    The Patriots are better than you think. And even if they end up picking this early, they’ll have a young core with momentum building heading into 2025.

    There’s only a sense that they need a few more weapons and playmakers. On both sides of the ball, Travis Hunter can suffice.

    If it were me, I’d try Hunter at WR first. Alongside a movement-Z like Ja’Lynn Polk, Hunter could be a stellar central force with his rare separation ability, RAC dynamism, and ball skills at the catch point. But he’d be a menace opposite Christian Gonzalez at CB, too.

    5) Washington Commanders: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

    The Commanders’ roster is slowly coming together under Dan Quinn and Adam Peters, but the secondary remains an area of concern. Cornerback could be an option here, but with Darrick Forrest entering a contract year, it’s hard to pass up a blue-chip safety in Malaki Starks.

    Starks is the kind of defender who makes an entire secondary better with his presence. At 6’1″, 205 pounds, he has elite explosiveness, range, short-area quickness, and fluidity — tools he can use to play single-high, two-high, or off-man in the slot and make plays from each spot.

    6) Denver Broncos: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

    This is a move that serves a purpose both short-term and long-term. In 2025, the addition of Tetairoa McMillan makes Denver’s WR room strong four-deep with McMillan, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. And when Sutton leaves, McMillan can be WR1.

    If Sean Payton is going to make things work with Bo Nix, he needs to invest in his QB. There’s no better way to do that than to pair him with a weapon like McMillan — a 6’5″, 210-pound monolith with true three-level upside and hands of steel at the catch point.

    7) Arizona Cardinals: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

    Yes, the Cardinals just picked a wideout in the top 10, with Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 4 overall. But even with Harrison’s addition, the team’s WR room is still razor thin. Adding a perfect complement like Luther Burden III could help this offense take the next step with Kyler Murray.

    While Harrison is the ultimate WR1 with unmatched gravity, Burden is the 5’11”, 208-pound RAC revolutionary who can eat up defenses underneath, while Harrison creates space. And on top of his RAC ability, Burden has strong hands and separation upside.

    8) Carolina Panthers: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

    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.

    This is arguably a best-case scenario for the Panthers. They trade back from No. 1 overall and add capital — a welcome development after the costly Bryce Young trade two cycles ago — and then they add Will Johnson to form one of the best CB duos in the league.

    While Jaycee Horn is a man coverage menace, Johnson is well-versed in both man and zone. At 6’2″, 202 pounds, he can click and close in an instant from off-man and zone, and he can use his length to disrupt at the line.

    With Johnson, Carolina’s secondary becomes elite.

    9) Minnesota Vikings: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

    Brian Flores’ scheme puts relatively less stress on the interior grouping, but interior pressure is naturally very important in the modern NFL. Flores could use an alignment versatile disruptor with excess gravity, and Mason Graham can be that player.

    At 6’3″, 318 pounds, Graham defies logic and physics with how he moves. He’s explosive off the snap, agile off-setting blockers, and he can flex around blocks while using active, heavy hands to channel power and break through the front. He has blue-chip potential.

    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.

    12) Indianapolis Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

    This was the player selection I made for the Colts in my previous 2025 NFL Mock Draft. It’s never ideal to be repetitive, but this player-team fit — both from a needs perspective and a value perspective — simply makes too much sense.

    In Shane Steichen’s vertically oriented scheme, Colston Loveland’s athleticism and box-out ability would be right at home. Loveland also has elite size-adjusted flexibility and can bend to separate independently and make himself available for Anthony Richardson.

    13) Seattle Seahawks: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona

    When he’s been healthy, Abraham Lucas has been a quality starter for the Seahawks at right tackle. But lately, health has been hard to come by. With his contract set to expire after the 2025 season, Seattle has to think about the future there.

    In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Seahawks could choose to set the transition at RT in motion by selecting Jonah Savaiinaea. Savaiinaea has some cosmetic similarities to Taliese Fuaga with his frame density, athleticism, and hand power. With more refinement, Savaiinaea can be an OT1 candidate.

    14) Jacksonville Jaguars: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

    The Jaguars have enough to keep things afloat at CB in 2024 with Tyson Campbell, Ronald Darby, Jarrian Jones, and nickel hybrid Darnell Savage, but they may need to find a long-term boundary option soon enough. In Ryan Nielsen’s man-heavy scheme, Benjamin Morrison fits well.

    At around 6’0″, 185 pounds, Morrison has the quickness of a waterbug, or a gnat — whichever analogy you want to use. He can envelop and suffocate WRs with his foot speed and corrective athleticism, and he’s one of the class’ most prolific playmakers on the ball.

    15) Pittsburgh Steelers: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

    In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Steelers made their offensive line a dominant force. In 2025, they’ll now turn to the other front. Tyleik Williams, with his logic-defying athleticism and versatility at 6’3″, 327 pounds, would wreak havoc beside Keeanu Benton.

    Williams has the size, natural leverage, and strength to hold the point from any alignment in run defense. But he also has the explosiveness and ankle flexion to stunt across alignments, drive power, and punch open holes in pass protection with his leg churn.

    16) Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State

    The Chargers’ entire cornerback room is on shaky ground long-term. Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel Jr. are both free agents in 2025, and Ja’Sir Taylor will be a free agent a year later. Any addition would be an improvement, but Jordan Hancock can be a true glue piece.

    At 6’1″, 195 pounds, Hancock is an explosive, energized athlete who matches that energy in his movement with relentless physicality in all phases. As a versatile, dynamic nickel defender, he can play a variety of coverages, blitz, pass off WRs, and make plays on the ball.

    17) Cleveland Browns: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

    The Browns picked up Jedrick Wills Jr.’s fifth-year option in the offseason of 2023 — but then he regressed the following season. There’s an outcome where they move on after his fifth year plays out. In that scenario, LSU’s Will Campbell would be an ideal replacement.

    At 6’6″, 320 pounds, Campbell has nimble, free-flowing athleticism for his size, and he’s a smooth operator in both phases with a steady center of gravity, great balance, and tight hands. His length could be an issue for some, but he compensates with compact power.

    18) Chicago Bears: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

    The Bears nailed the 2024 NFL Draft with Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze. If there was one criticism to make, it was that they didn’t address EDGE early enough. But the class was also weaker in the Day 2 range. In 2025, they’ll get the chance to make up for it.

    Mykel Williams still has a ways to go with his hand refinement, but his raw power and athleticism at 6’5″, 265 pounds is nearly impossible to replicate. He’s devastating on stunts, and together, he and Montez Sweat can crunch the pocket beyond recognition.

    19) Los Angeles Rams: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

    The Rams were proactive in trading up for Braden Fiske in the 2024 NFL Draft. Though no one can replace Aaron Donald, Fiske is the presumptive successor alongside Kobie Turner. The one thing Los Angeles still needs is a nose tackle. Kenneth Grant can be that player.

    At 6’3″, 339 pounds, Grant at times embodies a freak of nature with his eye-catching burst and pursuit speed, and he has enough bend to be utilized on stunts. And ultimately, his prime utility — his ability to take on blocks and double-teams — will free up Fiske and Turner to feast.

    20) Atlanta Falcons: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

    The Falcons’ decision to pass up multiple opportunities to add high-level EDGE talent in the 2024 NFL Draft could come back to bite them. But they will have a chance to rectify their mistakes in the 2025 cycle. Early on, Nic Scourton looks like a particularly exciting fit.

    At around 6’4″, 280 pounds, Scourton has the look and feel of a power rusher who plays with his hand in the dirt. But then you watch him work as a standing rusher from 7-tech and wide-9, using his finesse to win with brutal spins. He’s the total package.

    21) Miami Dolphins: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky

    The Dolphins managed to keep Zach Sieler around for the long haul, and they also added Teair Tart and Benito Jones as short-term fixes. But the losses of Christian Wilkins and Raekwon Davis will sting long-term. Sooner or later, they’ll need to re-invest at DT.

    In the 2025 NFL Draft, few investments at DT could be more fruitful than Deone Walker. At 6’6″, 348 pounds, Walker needs to drastically improve his pad level. But he’s a logic-defying athlete with universal alignment versatility and three-down disruptive potential.

    22) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

    Trade: Jets receive No. 10 overall pick; Buccaneers receive No. 22 overall pick, No. 54 overall pick, 2026 first-round pick.

    The Buccaneers traded back from No. 10 overall and added capital in the process, so now they can use their first-round pick on a luxury position. Rachaad White is a decent player, but Tampa Bay could benefit from an arguable blue-chip RB presence in Ashton Jeanty.

    At around 5’8″, 217 pounds, Jeanty is almost impossible to tackle at first engagement. He combines devastating burst, bend, and elusiveness with impenetrable running leverage and a low center of gravity. And to top it off, he’s a stellar receiving threat.

    23) Dallas Cowboys: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

    It can almost be considered negligence how long the Cowboys have gone without fully investing in the weapons core past CeeDee Lamb. That’s not to say they haven’t tried — but Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert have proven uninspiring. It’s time to go back to Round 1.

    Alongside Lamb, Isaiah Bond could be a devastating presence for opposing defenses. At 5’11”, 185 pounds, Bond is a tailor-made separator and vertical viper with venomous suddenness on his route breaks, and the venerable speed to splice through open zones.

    24) Green Bay Packers: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

    The Packers are in a unique spot. They have their quarterback in Jordan Love. The roster is strong across the board. They have the flexibility to be unorthodox in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft and make their team truly elite. A talent like Abdul Carter could get it done.

    At 6’3″, 250 pounds, Carter clashes with Green Bay’s stylistic tendencies at EDGE — as Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, and Preston Smith exemplify. But Carter’s hyper-elite explosiveness and bend could make him an unstoppable contrasting force for offenses.

    25) Philadelphia Eagles: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

    Josh Sweat is nearing a contract year, and the Eagles have yet to see Nolan Smith reach his peak. They have Bryce Huff on a short-term deal, but soon enough, they’ll have to reinvest in the EDGE position again. This late in Round 1, James Pearce II is stellar value.

    At 6’5″, 242 pounds, Pearce is noticeably light, which impacts his play strength in the run game. But as a pass rusher, he has it all — length, power, ankle flexion, and a lightning-quick first step that induces panic in tackles. With more development, he can be special.

    26) Cincinnati Bengals: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    The Bengals haven’t traditionally used early-round capital on interior offensive linemen at a consistent clip, but protecting Joe Burrow now takes on greater importance as the AFC becomes stronger. Tyler Booker can help complete the puzzle for Cincinnati up front.

    With Booker, Orlando Brown Jr., and Amarius Mims, the Bengals would have three of the most imposing linemen in the game. Booker is a massive specimen at 6’5″, 352 pounds — and yet, his lateral mobility is one of his strengths, along with his hand power and physicality.

    27) Buffalo Bills: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

    There’s a lot of pressure on Keon Coleman. He’s a second-round pick who was essentially a first-round pick and will be relied upon right out of the gate as a premier weapon for Josh Allen. Coleman might need a complementary WR like Emeka Egbuka to relieve some of that pressure.

    At 6’1″, 205 pounds, Egbuka is the quintessential movement-Z receiver, whose alignment versatility is matched by his sharp route-running nuance, instinctive catching skills, and grating RAC ability. As long as he can stay healthy, he can be an asset at all three levels.

    28) Houston Texans: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State

    Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre are verified studs, and Kamari Lassiter has promise as the Texans’ nickel cornerback. The secondary is starting to come together, but another long-term boundary presence could help the unit take the next step. Enter Denzel Burke.

    SIMULATE THE SEASON: Try PFN’s 2024 NFL Playoff Predictor

    Burke first broke out as a true freshman at Ohio State, and for the better part of four years, he’s been a premier playmaker on defense. A former WR, he has natural ball skills, and he’s also an explosive two-phase competitor with impressive technical proficiency.

    29) Detroit Lions: Fernando Carmona Jr., OT, Arkansas

    Taylor Decker will be a free agent in 2024. And the Lions will need to reinvest to ensure that their vaunted offensive line doesn’t miss a beat. If he plays as well as he can at Arkansas, Fernando Carmona Jr. could be a candidate for Detroit in the first round.

    At around 6’5″, 324 pounds, Carmona is an absolute powerhouse with a mauler mentality. He can still improve his independent hand usage and leverage maintenance, but he’s an explosive, energized athlete with rare recovery and torque output.

    30) Baltimore Ravens: Jaishawn Barham, LB, Michigan

    The Ravens lost their WILL linebacker Patrick Queen to the Steelers in the 2024 offseason, but there’ll be an opportunity to add another high-end talent at the position. Jaishawn Barham profiles well as that WILL LB in the 2025 cycle, and next to Roquan Smith, he’d be unleashed.

    At around 6’3″, 245 pounds, Barham has the size and explosiveness of an edge rusher, and he has proven utility as a blitzer and attacking piece. But his early-down utility is impressively strong, too. He can manage gaps, stack and shed, and tackle in pursuit.

    31) San Francisco 49ers: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

    If there’s one position the 49ers should’ve addressed more in the 2024 NFL Draft, it’s offensive tackle. Trent Williams is still elite, but he’s getting older, and Colton McKivitz is a mid-level starter. In 2025, the 49ers would be smart to invest in the future. Kelvin Banks Jr. helps with that.

    At 6’4″, 324 pounds, Banks has a picture-perfect combination of natural leverage and proportional length, and he flashes high-level explosive burst and recovery capacity. He’s still refining his hand usage, but he could be a starter at left or right tackle for San Francisco.

    32) Kansas City Chiefs: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina

    After trading L’Jarius Sneed to the Titans, boundary cornerback could be an area of need for the Chiefs in 2025. Shavon Revel is an under-the-radar prospect who fits Steve Spagnuolo’s profile better than most. He’s long, athletic, and as competitive as they come.

    At 6’2″, 188 pounds, Revel has the combined explosiveness, sink, and elasticity as a mover to generate excitement, and he’s also a prolific playmaker — as evidenced by his 13 pass breakups in 2023. He can play man, off-man, or zone, and urgency underpins his game.

    2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 2

    33) Chicago Bears: Xavier Nwankpa, S, Iowa

    Xavier Nwankpa needs to improve his weaving ability in the deep third, but he’s one of the most naturally talented center-field safety prospects to hit the circuit in some time.

    At 6’2″, 210 pounds, Nwankpa has elite range, short-area quickness, and playmaking instincts.

    34) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona

    Trade: Buccaneers receive No. 34 overall pick; Giants receive No. 42 overall pick, No. 74 overall pick.

    In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Buccaneers make an aggressive move up to add a cornerback who fits their scheme too well. Tacario Davis — a  6’4″, 195-pound albatross — can play in zone and side-saddle effectively but also has the discipline to play press-man.

    35) Tennessee Titans: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

    On a defense that could use more long-term stability at EDGE, Princely Umanmielen would be a welcome addition with his combined length, explosiveness, and bend at 6’5″, 255 pounds. His first step chews up ground in an instant, and he’s good in run defense as well.

    36) New England Patriots: Patrick Payton, EDGE, Florida State

    As evidenced by his 7.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, and 10 pass deflections in 2023, few edge rushers have the sheer disruptive range that Patrick Payton has at 6’5″, 254 pounds.

    With long levers for arms and size-defying bend, he’s an undeniable riser candidate.

    37) Washington Commanders: Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon

    Evan Stewart may be able to help the Commanders right their wrongs after over-drafting Jahan Dotson. Like Dotson, Stewart is a featherweight WR with hyperactive twitch. But unlike Dotson, Stewart is a more fluid separator, with size-defying hand strength.

    38) Denver Broncos: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

    A former off-ball linebacker who’s steadily converted to an EDGE, Jalon Walker has extremely impressive speed-to-power for his 6’2″, 245-pound frame, and his searing closing burst makes him a stellar fit for Vance Joseph’s wide-alignment scheme.

    39) Arizona Cardinals: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State

    At 6’5″, 270 pounds, Dani Dennis-Sutton’s athletic profile isn’t dissimilar to that of Jason Pierre-Paul.

    Dennis-Sutton still has room to expand his pass-rush arsenal, but he has every tool in his tool box, and there are bright flashes of both power and finesse execution.

    40) Carolina Panthers: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon

    Whatever happens with Diontae Johnson long-term, the Panthers shouldn’t be done adding talent to their WR core.

    Alongside Xavier Legette, Tez Johnson can be an electric movement-Z receiver with three-level appeal in the mold of Texans’ Tank Dell.

    41) Minnesota Vikings: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

    Trade: Vikings receive No. 41 overall pick; Bills receive No. 138 overall pick, 2026 second-round pick, 2026 third-round pick.

    In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Vikings trade back into the second round, giving up their Day 2 capital in 2026. It’s a hefty price, but it’s worth it to pair J.J. McCarthy with an explosive 219-pound carving knife like Quinshon Judkins at RB.

    42) New York Giants: Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State

    The Giants rework their entire backfield in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft. In Round 1, they add their QB. And in Round 2, they add a true volume back in Ollie Gordon II, who has the bend, burst, brawling physicality, and receiving chops to be a true premier back in the NFL.

    43) New Orleans Saints: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

    With Demario Davis inching toward a contract year, the Saints could have an eye on the future at the LB spot. At around 6’0″, 233 pounds, Barrett Carter is a dynamic chess piece with high-level coverage utility, and he can be used as a blitzer through gaps.

    44) Indianapolis Colts: Jeremiah Cooper, S, Iowa State

    Safety has been an issue for the Colts for a few years now, and several proposed solutions haven’t worked out. Jeremiah Cooper isn’t perfect in support at just 185 pounds, but he has the spatial awareness, fluidity, range, and playmaking ability Gus Bradley will covet.

    45) Seattle Seahawks: Parker Brailsford, OC, Alabama

    Center is one position that went relatively unaddressed for the Seahawks in the 2024 offseason. They can change that by adding Parker Brailsford in the 2025 NFL Draft.

    Brailsford is undersized at 6’2″, 275 pounds, but he’s an elite athlete with terse physicality.

    46) Jacksonville Jaguars: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

    If the Jaguars eventually move on from Cam Robinson, Josh Conerly Jr. can be a quality replacement plan. The 6’4″, 305-pound left tackle needs to improve his anchor against power, but he’s an incredibly rangy run blocker with active hands in pass protection.

    47) Pittsburgh Steelers: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama

    Donte Jackson is a short-term fix for the Steelers at CB, but they still need to find a running mate for Joey Porter Jr. Domani Jackson would be a sound investment with his elite recovery speed at 6’1″, 190 pounds — as evidenced by his eye-popping 10.25 100m dash.

    48) Los Angeles Chargers: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU

    Harold Perkins Jr., meet Jesse Minter. Jesse Minter, meet your new X-factor.

    In L.A.’s scheme, Perkins could be unleashed as the true multi-phase terror he is — playing as an attacking defender on early downs, and terrorizing tackles with his speed and bend later on.

    49) Cleveland Browns: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

    Coming off an injury, Nick Chubb’s long-term utility is relatively uncertain. Cleveland could start the changing of the guard by adding Omarion Hampton, a 6’0″, 220-pound brawler with phenomenal explosiveness, speed, physicality, and initial vision.

    50) Chicago Bears: Will Sheppard, WR, Colorado

    If Keenan Allen walks following the 2024 season, Will Sheppard could step in and keep things moving alongside Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Size-adjusted fluidity and separation nuance are two of Sheppard’s biggest strengths at 6’3″, 205 pounds.

    51) Carolina Panthers: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

    Now listed at 6’7″, 282 pounds, Landon Jackson is an extremely unique EDGE prospect. He’s equipped with the length and size to line up at 5-tech or even farther inside, but he also has the high-end bend and ankle flexion to rush around the arc.

    52) Atlanta Falcons: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington

    The Falcons have an intriguing CB room, but Clark Phillips may eventually translate better in the slot. On the boundary, they’d benefit from having a lengthy presence like Ephesians Prysock — a 6’4″, 190-pound cover man with size-defying quickness and reactive motion.

    53) Miami Dolphins: Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

    With both Jonnu Smith and Durham Smythe on expiring contracts after 2025, TE could soon be a need. Terrance Ferguson is a top-50 prospect as a two-phase, three-down security blanket with utility as a route runner, clutch-down catcher, RAC threat, and blocker.

    54) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State

    Left guard remains a hole for the Buccaneers, and it’s one they could fill by adding Donovan Jackson. Alongside Tristan Wirfs and Graham Barton, Jackson would be right at home with his explosive athleticism at 6’4″, 320 pounds, particularly in the run game.

    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.

    56) Green Bay Packers: Tyler Onyedim, DT, Iowa State

    Tyler Onyedim is still relatively raw, but at 6’4″, 295 pounds, he has the flexibility and natural leverage to hold the fort at 3-tech, and he also has the functionality to be used as a big EDGE in Green Bay’s scheme with his elite explosiveness and lateral agility.

    57) Philadelphia Eagles: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

    Eagles fans may not like the idea of picking a Stanford WR at 57th overall in Round 2 again, but Elic Ayomanor is a different type of weapon. At 6’2″, 210 pounds, he brings both RAC and contested utility to the fold, and there are flashes of added separation upside.

    58) Cincinnati Bengals: Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers

    Zack Moss could be a bargain addition for the Bengals, but if they’re in the market for a long-term starter in 2025, Kyle Monangai could be a candidate. The 5’9″, 210-pound runner has superb cutting flexibility and vision, and he’s a stalwart pass protector as well.

    59) Buffalo Bills: Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville

    At around 6’3″, 270 pounds, Ashton Gillotte provides a fun mix of what the Bills like on the edge. He has the compact power element to compress the pocket from wider alignments, but he also has the bend and natural leverage to get low on speed rushes.

    60) Houston Texans: Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon

    Jamaree Caldwell is an incredibly unique player. He has the compact mass and density of a nose tackle at 6’1″, 325 pounds, but he has the pass-rushing juice of an alignment-versatile force, as he showed in 2023 by logging 6.5 sacks and 8.5 TFLs.

    61) Detroit Lions: Fadil Diggs, EDGE, Syracuse

    Fadil Diggs can still add more to his pass-rush repertoire, but the 6’5″, 260-pound edge defender has every tool in his tool kit: Explosiveness, length, arc-running speed, and bend. And as a bonus, his motor runs hot on second-effort attempts and in pursuit.

    62) Baltimore Ravens: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

    The Ravens have a superb thunder-and-lightning combination with Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell, but long-term security is in short supply. TreVeyon Henderson gives Baltimore a high-level pass-down catalyst immediately and can be a starter later on.

    63) San Francisco 49ers: Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama

    With Dre Greenlaw’s future uncertain, the 49ers may be in need of a physical, fast-flowing presence at LB. While Deontae Lawson doesn’t have Greenlaw’s mass or formidability at the point of attack, he’s a twitched-up second-level patrolman with eager physicality.

    64) Kansas City Chiefs: Nic Anderson, WR, Oklahoma

    Andy Reid loves to diversify his weapons core. At 6’4″, 213 pounds, Nic Anderson gives Reid the size, vertical ability, and catch-point instincts few others have, and he flashes exciting flexibility, bend, and sinking ability as a route runner.

    2025 NFL Mock Draft | Round 3

    65) Carolina Panthers: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

    Walter Nolen is raw, but he’s an explosive power producer alongside Derrick Brown on the interior, with additional alignment versatility.

    66) New York Giants: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia

    At 6’1″, 190 pounds, Daylen Everette is a long, smooth, and physical cover man who shows comfort in man or in side-saddle.

    67) Kansas City Chiefs: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia

    Jonas Sanker gives the Chiefs a do-it-all safety prospect with rare fluidity and sink in his motion at 210 pounds, supplementing two-high, support, and nickel capability.

    68) New England Patriots: Andrew Mukuba, DB, Texas

    Andrew Mukuba projects best as a nickel defender with his short-area twitch and malleability, but he can play field safety as well.

    69) Washington Commanders: J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State

    At 6’5″, 269 pounds, J.T. Tuimoloau fits the Dan Quinn mold at EDGE with his raw power, and he’s a tenacious two-phase defender with a hot motor.

    70) Denver Broncos: Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa

    With Luke Lachey, Sean Payton can once again attack the middle of the field on account of the 6’6″, 250-pound target’s athleticism and high-end coordination.

    71) Arizona Cardinals: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

    Alongside Max Melton and Sean Murphy-Bunting, Azareye’h Thomas can lock down one boundary with his explosiveness, physicality, and ball skills at 6’2″, 194 pounds.

    72) Las Vegas Raiders: Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Washington

    Pierce isn’t afraid to take a chance on undersized competitors at CB. That’s Jabbar Muhammad to a tee: Undersized, but ruthlessly competitive.

    73) Jacksonville Jaguars: Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon

    This is a Trent Baalke pick if there ever was one: A 6’6″, 290-pound behemoth who has the athleticism to stunt and play stand-up EDGE while pummeling tackles with power.

    74) New York Giants: Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia

    Tate Ratledge is experienced, with 27 starts since 2022. That experience shows in his patience, discipline, and assignment-sound nature. On top of it, he’s urgent and physical.

    75) New Orleans Saints: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

    This pick not only keeps Dart’s chemistry with Tre Harris intact, but also gives the Saints one of the best jump-ball specialists and vertical threats in the entire 2025 NFL Draft.

    76) Indianapolis Colts: Terrance Brooks, CB, Illinois

    Terrance Brooks fits Indianapolis’ Cover-3 heavy scheme well with his length and gliding side-saddle athleticism at 6’0″, 200 pounds, and he’s a playmaker at the catch point.

    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.

    78) Jacksonville Jaguars: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State

    Nicholas Singleton could be the perfect stable back for Jacksonville: A home-run threat with size, speed, and contact balance, and a capable receiving and pass-blocking presence.

    79) Pittsburgh Steelers: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)

    Najee Harris will almost certainly be out the door in 2025. Damien Martinez can take the reins without missing a beat with his 241-pound frame and unnatural fluidity as a runner.

    80) Los Angeles Chargers: Dontay Corleone, DT, Cincinnati

    A blood clot scare this summer mired Dontay Corleone’s stock in uncertainty. But now that he’s back with the team, he’s one of the best, most disruptive nose tackles in the class.

    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.

    82) Chicago Bears: Jaeden Roberts, OG, Alabama

    If Nate Davis fails to rebound in 2024, the Bears could be looking at a major need at guard. At 6’5″, 316 pounds, Jaeden Roberts can fill the void with his heavy hands and anchor.

    83) Los Angeles Rams: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma

    With room to shore up the second level of their defense, the Rams add Danny Stutsman: An explosive, rangy presence at 6’4″, 241 pounds, who boasts 26.5 TFLs since 2022.

    84) Atlanta Falcons: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State

    Atlanta could use more firepower past Drake London and Kyle Pitts. At 6’0″, 195 pounds, Jalen Royals is a twitched-up separator with a clutch gene verified by 15 TDs in 2023.

    85) Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

    Theo Johnson was heavily coveted in 2024, but Tyler Warren could end up being a better prospect. In Warren, the Eagles get a solid blocker and a venerable red zone threat.

    86) New York Jets: Jared Brown, WR, South Carolina

    At South Carolina, Jared Brown will get to showcase his electric athleticism, slippery RAC ability, and alignment versatility — traits that could endear him to teams like New York.

    87) Dallas Cowboys: Devin Neal, RB, Kansas

    Breathe, Cowboys fans: You have your running back. Devin Neal is an energized, well-leveraged runner with the vision and slippery evasiveness to be an impact starter.

    88) Green Bay Packers: Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech

    At 6’1″, 180 pounds, Mansoor Delane has the blazing speed to traverse and envelop the boundary, but he also has the quickness and willing physicality to disrupt in man.

    89) Philadelphia Eagles: Aeneas Peebles, DT, Virginia Tech

    At 6’1″, 290 pounds, Aeneas Peebles fits what the Eagles like in their interior disruptors. He’s fast, fluid, stout, well-leveraged, and channels his energy with active, forceful hands.

    90) Cincinnati Bengals: Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State

    There’s no 1-to-1 replacement for Tee Higgins, but at 6’2″, Tory Horton can at least give back some of that size and vertical ability, and he brings strong hands over the middle.

    91) Buffalo Bills: Jaylin Lucas, RB, Florida State

    This pick may seem a little off the wall, but Jaylin Lucas is an elite kick returner and a two-phase big-play threat on offense, with blistering 4.29 speed and enviable bend on cuts.

    92) Houston Texans: Anthony Belton, OL, NC State

    At 6’6″, 336 pounds, with good size-adjusted athleticism and a mean streak in space, Anthony Belton gives the Texans depth at tackle as well as potential utility at guard.

    93) New York Jets: Francisco Mauigoa, LB, Miami (FL)

    This is a pick for the future, as both Quincy Williams and C.J. Mosley have expiring contracts in 2025. Francisco Mauigoa is an explosive and tenacious tackling machine.

    94) Baltimore Ravens: Aireonte Ersery, OT, Minnesota

    With long-term questions surrounding Ronnie Stanley, Aireonte Ersery brings some of that power and size back at 6’6″, 330 pounds, while also providing athleticism on the move.

    95) San Francisco 49ers: Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas

    Cobee Bryant is notably underweight, but when you’re a playmaking threat like he is, it doesn’t always matter. Bryant’s searing speed and high-end ball skills make him an asset.

    96) Kansas City Chiefs: Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

    At 6’5″, 305 pounds, Marcus Mbow is long, explosive, and a mauling finisher, and he has pre-existing experience at both guard and tackle, imbuing versatility.

    97) San Francisco 49ers: Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee

    Catching passes from Nico Iamaleava in 2024, Chris Brazzell could go off. He’s a 6’5″, 200-pound vertical presence who also has unnatural sink and quickness on his route breaks.
