The 2025 NFL Draft may be months out, but it’s never too early to take a closer look at who teams could select. Let’s take a look at which prospects were mocked to each NFC North team in Pro Football Network’s latest mock draft.
Projecting Who All 16 NFC North Teams Will Select in 2025 NFL Draft
10) Minnesota Vikings: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Vikings have had about 20 swings-and-misses on corners in the last decade, so it’s time to finally find them a high-floor, athletic corner to add to a struggling secondary.
Benjamin Morrison is one of several Fighting Irish defenders who could go early in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he’s probably the best of the bunch.
19) Chicago Bears: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
I’m not ready to anoint the Bears as playoff-ready in Year 1 of the Caleb Williams era, so I think they might be picking earlier in the draft than the current odds have them. But at this spot, they’ll likely want another elite pass-rushing prospect. Princely Umanmielen has almost limitless upside after moving from Florida to Ole Miss. His hyper-quick first step is one of the best you’ll see.

22) Green Bay Packers: Walter Nolen, IDL, Ole Miss
A former top recruit, Walter Nolen was disruptive, but not elite at Texas A&M. Now with the Rebels of Ole Miss, a strong junior season would propel him into the first-round conversation, where he has elite upside as a power-first interior pass rusher.
29) Detroit Lions: Joey Slackman, IDL, Florida
If you’re looking for a name to rise from the relative unknowns to the first round, look no further than Joey Slackman, who transferred to Florida from Penn in the offseason. Slackman is ridiculously strong. He racked up 99 tackles in two seasons at Penn, even as an interior defensive lineman.
