PFN has released their latest 7-round NFL mock draft. Here are some of the most suprising picks.
It would be tempting for the Titans to use the No. 1 pick on a quarterback, but after their president of football operations Chad Brinker mentioned they wouldn't pass on a "generational talent," that doesn't particularly scream "quarterback" given the consensus opinion of this class.
With his effortless arm strength and his improvisational skills, Cam Ward stakes a strong claim to being the top quarterback in this year's class. How he compares to prospects at his position from the 2024 NFL Draft is another discussion, but you have to shoot as high as you can at the quarterback position. Ward has arguably the highest ceiling of the quarterbacks in the 2025 class.
The marriage of Shedeur Sanders to the Raiders feels too good to be true. If the Titans pass on a quarterback at No. 1, though, there's a chance Las Vegas could select its quarterback of the future without having to mortgage the future.
Amidst low expectations coming into 2024, the Broncos made a playoff appearance and looked like a well-oiled machine with Bo Nix at quarterback. To help him maximize that ceiling, they would be wise to invest in his supporting cast. Luther Burden III's production dropped in 2024 compared to his All-American 2023 season, but the tools are all still there.
What do you get for the Evil Empire that's seemingly able to overcome everything that gets thrown its way? Well, an eventual replacement for their aging star tight end could be a good place to start. Though overshadowed slightly by the production of Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland is still an outstanding prospect in his own right.
CeeDee Lamb has long solidified himself as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, but the high-end talent in that Cowboys receiver room alongside him has been lacking since Amari Cooper's departure. Only a redshirt sophomore, Elic Ayomanor is a big-bodied receiver who thrives along the boundary with his physicality, body control, and breakaway speed after the catch.
Jaxson Dart has been skyrocketing up draft boards since the Senior Bowl. Now, he heads to Tennessee.
The Rams don't have an heir apparent for Matthew Stafford currently, and given his tremendous pedigree and arm talent, Quinn Ewers could be a high-upside candidate worth considering that could develop behind Stafford before potentially being given the reins.
If Najee Harris leaves in free agency, the Steelers will find themselves in the market for a new power back opposite Jaylen Warren, who himself is a restricted free agent this offseason. Kaleb Johnson has the frame and ball-carrier vision to be that perfect (and cheaper) replacement.
Gunnar Helm is a sure-handed tight end with a sturdy frame, and he brings a combination of play strength and fluidity across the middle of the field that could see him become a solid starter in due time.
