With only weeks left until the 2025 NFL Draft, teams are starting to formulate their big boards. And in an unpredictable draft class, anything could happen. In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, we look at some different possibilities while matching team needs.
The draft was conducted using Pro Football Network’s free Mock Draft Simulator, where you can create your own mock drafts and draft alongside your friends with multi-user draft experience.
1) Tennessee Titans
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Analysts are split on whether the Tennessee Titans will draft a quarterback. New general manager Mike Borgonzi has hinted that they won’t be afraid to take the best player available. Meanwhile, history has taught us that it is never too early to draft a quarterback.
Abdul Carter has become the top overall prospect on many rankings. At 6’3” and 252 pounds, the Penn State edge rusher showcases elite athleticism, impressive production, and aggressive disruption to trouble offensive tackles.
2) Cleveland Browns
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Travis Hunter is competing with Carter to be the top overall prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class, and in a draft that lacks blue-chip talent, it would be wise for the Cleveland Browns to draft their next face of the franchise on defense.
The Heisman Trophy winner projects as a cornerback who could play receiver in sub-packages. His ball skills and instincts are some of the best we have seen in recent memory, and Hunter’s overall athleticism should see him drafted in the first five selections.
3) New York Giants
Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Cam Ward would offer the New York Giants front office a lifeline. Massively under pressure in 2025, the Miami Hurricanes’ passer would at least buy them some time.
The Washington State transfer flirted with the NFL Draft last year before returning to college football with Miami. It’s a move that paid off for Ward, who looks likely to be drafted in the first 10 picks. A creative force with incredible playmaking skills and instincts, the Hurricanes quarterback has had some issues with ball security but brings the artistic flair seen in modern passers.
4) New England Patriots
Will Campbell, OL, LSU
Mike Vabrel has shown he isn’t afraid to take potential interior offensive linemen early, and Will Campbell is the best overall offensive lineman in the 2025 NFL Draft. The LSU Tiger could play tackle but could be better slotted in as a guard at the next level due to his sub-33-inch arm length.
Vrabel was the Tennessee Titans’ head coach when Peter Skoronski was selected. While their styles aren’t comparable stylistically, Campbell’s career could follow a similar path.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham is one of the top overall prospects in the class. The 6’3”, 320-pound disruptor has violent hand usage, exceptional technique, and a comprehensive pass rush plan to be a perennial Pro Bowler at the next level.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
If one of the top two quarterbacks is available here, it is difficult to see the Las Vegas passing on one. The Sanders family has a history with the Las Vegas Raiders, who desperately need competent play under center.
Shedeur Sanders has a pro-ready skill set but doesn’t offer the sky-high ceiling that others do. The steady Colorado passer has great accuracy, processing, and pace control to be a game manager in the NFL.
7) New York Jets
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The New York Jets don’t have anyone to catch the ball other than Garrett Wilson heading into 2025. Tyler Warren will become the tight end option Gang Green has been calling out for with his dynamic playstyle and crafty route running. The Penn State weapon has the potential to be an elusive RAC weapon at the next level with his large catch radius and versatility.
8) Carolina Panthers
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Tetairoa McMillan would be Bryce Young’s go-to weapon as the Carolina Panthers quarterback continues his resurgence from his mid-season benching.
With a pterodactyl-like wingspan and an impressive catch radius, McMillan exhibits corrective tendencies and underrated athleticism. As a separator capable of physically competing at the catch point, the Arizona wide receiver is an ideal complement in Carolina.
9) New Orleans Saints
Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
More than just a tweener, Jalon Walker has elite traits as an edge rusher/outside linebacker at the next level. The Georgia defender was a Swiss Army knife in his first year as a starter in 2024 and displayed upper-tier explosive movement, innate instincts, and natural playmaking skills to project as a productive disruptor when paired with a creative defensive play-caller in the NFL.
10) Chicago Bears
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
When mock drafting for the Chicago Bears, the first thought is always fixing the interior offensive line. Campbell is the ideal for and fix. However, what happens if he is off the board and Chicago doesn’t like the other options?
Adding an elusive edge rusher in James Pearce Jr., who can win with speed and power with elite twitch and bend, would add a different dimension to the Bears’ defensive front.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Will Johnson’s draft stock appears to have taken a hit, but he still grades out as one of the top overall prospects in this class. The Michigan corner’s 2023 film is some of the best we have seen. However, his play dropped off slightly in 2024 as he suffered from persisting injuries.
Combining top-tier intelligence, ball skills, physicality, and fluid movement, Johnson is a value pick at No. 11 and fills a pressing need.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
We have all seen this selection multiple times, but there is a reason analysts keep returning to it.
Ashton Jeanty is a premier prospect with some of the best contact balance of any player in recent drafts. The elite Boise State Broncos running back had 157 forced missed tackles in 2024 when he rushed for 2,601 yards, the second most in FBS history, totaling more rushing yards than 100+ teams.
13) Miami Dolphins
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
As April approaches, we could see this selection appear more often in 2025 NFL Mock Drafts. Armand Membou is a true right tackle with the versatility to play inside at the next level.
A fluid athlete who appeared on Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List,” the Missouri Tigers right tackle has flashed dominance in the run game as well as showcasing a powerful anchor and refined footwork in pass protection.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Colston Loveland would add a different dimension to the Indianapolis Colts’ receiving game. The primarily pass-catching tight end can line up in the slot or in-line and has the athleticism, creative playmaking ability, and fluid route running to take the passing attack in Indianapolis to the next level.
15) Atlanta Falcons
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The perennial search for a game-changing edge rusher for the league’s bottom-ranked pass rush team continues. Atlanta Falcons fans will be hoping an answer finally reveals itself in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Mike Green is an explosive, powerful pass rusher who has exceptional bend to get after the passer. The 2024 FBS sack leader is also a stout run defender, but his ability to finish and convert plays (registering 17 sacks in 51 pressures) makes him a key target in the first 20 picks.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Shemar Stewart is a hulking defensive lineman who is an alien. He may only have had 4.5 sacks in his last three seasons, but the Texas A&M versatile edge rusher has elite traits to buy into.
At 6’5″ and 281 pounds, Stewart moves like a player 40 pounds lighter. His explosive power, length, and overwhelming size have the potential to be game-breaking in the NFL.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen is an athletic, physical defensive tackle with all the intangibles to be drafted early. The 6’3”, 293-pound Ole Miss game wrecker flashes elite agility, unbelievable quickness, and impressive power.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas
The Seattle Seahawks need to improve their offensive line, which was ranked one of the worst in the NFL in 2024 (30th in PFSN’s OL+ metric). Kelvin Banks Jr. adds versatility, with the option of kicking inside. The Texas left tackle has refined his hand usage as a pass protector but is still too clumsy in his run-blocking assignments.
Seattle could play Banks at guard as a rookie with the ability to flex him out to right tackle if Abraham Lucas’ health issues don’t improve.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Mykel Williams is an excellent run defender but had minimal production rushing the passer, causing him to fall. However, the Georgia defensive end flashes prototypical size and the physical gifts to be drafted in the top 20 selections. He is still raw but has the athleticism and power that could be game-changing if it is unlocked.
20) Denver Broncos
Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Sean Payton has spoken about the necessity of getting elusive game-changing weapons on the Denver Broncos offense, and Luther Burden III is just that.
The Missouri wide receiver is elusive and a craft route runner. An elite separator with twitchy movement and the ability to make plays in all areas of the field, his RAC usage and hyper-explosive mobility would be a dream in Payton’s offense.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Kenneth Grant is a hulking defensive tackle who is dominant in size and power. The 6’3”, 339-pound nose tackle offers versatility, freaky athleticism respective to his size, and the range to attack across the line of scrimmage.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Jeanty deservedly is the talking point as the top running back, but don’t sleep on the rest of this class. Omarion Hampton would rightfully be the top rusher in a lot of other draft classes.
The North Carolina Tar Heel is a strong pass protector and an adequate receiver, allowing him to stay on the field for all three downs. At the same time, his vision, ferocious leg drive, and fluidity will enable him to be adaptable to different running schemes.
23) Green Bay Packers
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Jahdae Baron is a versatile defensive back who plays with natural instincts and instant anticipation. His five interceptions in 2024 tied for the lead in the SEC. The Texas defensive back has a relentless motor and the range to close in on the line of scrimmage on running downs.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Derrick Harmon is a pure three-down player with the motor, resilience, and awareness to make plays on any down. The Oregon defensive tackle predominantly operates as a 3-tech and can get after the passer with various pass-rush moves.
25) Houston Texans
Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
The Houston Texans offensive line needs serious improvement from 2024. Tyler Booker is a Day 1 plug-and-play starter who is NFL-ready. The Alabama guard plays with power to create leverage. Meanwhile, at 6’5”, 352-pounds, he has underrated suddenness and refined hand usage.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
If it weren’t for a midseason ACL injury, Josh Simmons could be the runaway OT1 in this class. His draft stock hangs on his medicals, and we should learn more at the 2025 NFL Combine.
The Ohio State left tackle plays with fluid movement and dominating strength. Starting 32 games at both tackle spots, Simmons offers superior athleticism, flexibility, and the quick footwork to deal with the twitchiest pass rushers.
27) Baltimore Ravens
Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
Donovan Jackson still goes criminally underrated in this class. The Buckeyes’ left guard has gained more traction among scouts after stepping in at left tackle when Simmons got injured halfway through the season. Still, his comprehensive scouting report, exceptional intelligence, and powerful hands make him one of the top pure guard prospects in the draft class.
28) Detroit Lions
Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
Sometimes, players just match certain teams. Jack Sawyer screams Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions. The Ohio State defensive end ticks all the boxes. Size, physicality, relentless motor, production. What he lacks in athleticism, he makes up for with attitude. His ceiling may not be as high as other twitchier pass rushers, but Sawyer will greatly complement Aidan Hutchinson.
29) Washington Commanders
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
The Washington Commanders’ offensive line did an adequate job in 2024, but they must start planning for the future. Andrew Wylie will enter his final year on his current deal in 2025, and he isn’t stopping Washington from getting younger and more athletic up front.
Josh Conerly Jr. is an agile, fluid mover with impressive hands and active footwork. The Oregon left tackle could still improve his strength to enhance his run blocking, but he displays good recovery skills and has a solid anchor in pass protection. At 6’4” and 313 pounds, he possesses the traits worth investing in.
30) Buffalo Bills
Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
Azareye’h Thomas is a long perimeter corner who thrives in press where he can use his intense physicality to disrupt receivers. The Florida State corner allowed just 141 yards in coverage all season, per PFF, showcasing his route-mirroring ability and flexible body control.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
A wide receiver is an underrated need for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Emeka Egbuka would be fantastic value late in the first round. The Ohio State receiver is polished, refined, and fluid. An elite option from the slot, the former five-star recruit has advanced intelligence, technical route running, and a natural feel for space.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Howie Roseman always finds a way to maximize every opportunity in the draft. Jihaad Campbell is ranked much more highly on big boards, and at 6’3” and 244 pounds, he is built like a modern linebacker. With explosive speed, instincts, and all-around athleticism, the Alabama linebacker also has the versatility to operate off the edge with physicality, as well as the fluid mobility to move sideline-to-sideline in coverage.
