The NFC East always seems to grab the headlines, and it looks like the 2025 NFL Draft may not be any different. In our most recent 7-round NFL Mock Draft, one of the teams traded up to No. 1 overall to secure its quarterback of the future. Let’s take a look at who that quarterback was and who else is being selected in the division.
The draft order for the 2025 NFL Mock Draft was derived from my record and playoff predictions for the 2024 NFL regular season.
7-Round 2025 NFC East Mock Draft | Round 1
1) New York Giants (via DEN): Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
Projected Trade: Giants receive No. 1 overall, 2026 seventh-round pick; Broncos receive No. 2 overall, 2026 second-round pick, 2026 third-round pick
In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Giants make a slight trade-up with the Denver Broncos to block out other QB-needy teams and ensure they acquire Georgia’s Carson Beck.
On my board, Beck is the preliminary QB1 in the 2025 NFL Draft by a sizable margin. His mix of arm talent, processing ability, poise, and discretion can elevate an NFL team.
8) Washington Commanders: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
As good as Terry McLaurin is, Washington needs more firepower for Jayden Daniels. And the Commanders are at a point where they can swing for the fences with a pick like Luther Burden III.
At 5’11”, 208 pounds, Burden’s most marketable trait is his electric RAC ability, but he’s also a stalwart, instinctive vertical threat — something Daniels can take advantage of.
13) Dallas Cowboys: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Let’s assume the Cowboys eventually get a deal done with Dak Prescott — because they should. CeeDee Lamb is on the list, too, which may leave DeMarcus Lawrence unsigned.
If EDGE becomes a need again in 2025, Nic Scourton makes sense as Lawrence’s successor. Like Lawrence, Scourton is powerfully built but can win with force and finesse.
22) Philadelphia Eagles: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Eagles could go a number of different directions in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft. But depending on who’s still available, defensive tackle could be an underrated avenue.
Philadelphia still has Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, but a Milton Williams departure could create a void. Tyleik Williams can function as a pass-rush disruptor and a slab in run defense.
Rounds 2 and 3
2.34) New York Giants: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
At 5’8″and 217 pounds, Ashton Jeanty is a nightmare to tackle with his combined running leverage, mass, contact balance, and elite elusiveness and agility. New York has a respectable RB stable, but Jeanty is the three-down destroyer.
2.40) Washington Commanders: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
If the Commanders choose not to bring back Bobby Wagner, Barrett Carter makes sense as a successor. Though he’s not a MIKE yet, he can be an effective WILL alongside Frankie Luvu with his athleticism and versatility at 6’0″, 233 pounds.
2.45) Dallas Cowboys: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
At around 240 pounds, Damien Martinez is just the type of volume back the Cowboys need to play ball-control offense. He has the size, power, and tenacity of a true road-grader, but his vision and fluidity when pressing are quietly major strengths.
2.54) Philadelphia Eagles: Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama
At some point, the Eagles will need to legitimately address linebacker. There’s a lot of merit to adding Deontae Lawson — a 6’2″, 239-pound three-down presence with lightning-quick twitch, coverage upside, and terse physicality on the attack.
3.66) New York Giants: Xavier Nwankpa, S, Iowa
If he can improve his weaving skills, Xavier Nwankpa can be the next high-level center-field safety in the NFL.
3.72) Washington Commanders: Terrance Brooks, CB, Illinois
At around 6’2″, Terrance Brooks has the length and physicality Dan Quinn prefers in his cornerbacks. Brooks also offers exceptional overall coverage mobility.
3.77) Dallas Cowboys: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
At around 6’2″, 208 pounds, Tre Harris has some of the best catching instincts in the entire 2025 NFL Draft, and he gives the Cowboys a needed complementary WR.
3.86) Philadelphia Eagles: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
The Eagles like versatility at safety, and Jonas Sanker provides that. An explosive mover at 210 pounds, he can play two-high, in support, and moonlight as an off-man nickel DB.
3.89) Philadelphia Eagles (via MIA): Trey Moore, EDGE, Texas
A double-digit TFL producer for two years running, Trey Moore has the speed and burst at 6’3″, 245 pounds to supplement the Eagles’ rush arsenal.
