With preseason games well underway, we’re inching closer and closer to the 2024 NFL season, and our latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft looks at some needs that must be addressed. As summer scouting boards get set, which prospects have shown the potential to be first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Using reverse Super Bowl odds for the order and a little help from the updated PFN Mock Draft Simulator for the selections, we attempt to predict who will hear their name called at Lambeau Field next April. In this installment, we look at picks for each of the four teams in the AFC South.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: AFC South Edition
2) Tennessee Titans: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Nic Scourton caught the eye at Purdue, where his constant motor, overpowering strength, and surprising flexibility led to 10 sacks with the Boilermakers in 2023. He transferred to Texas A&M for the 2024 season.
The young A&M transfer has a high floor but also a sky-high ceiling and NFL-ready size at 6’4” and 280 pounds. Meanwhile, he will be just 20 years old on draft day. With a strong arsenal of skill moves and the processing speed to exploit space, Scourton has the twitch and hurry to be an immediate threat in the NFL.
13) Indianapolis Colts: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
With some of the best ball skills and instincts in the 2025 NFL Draft class, Travis Hunter would be an instant starting CB in Indianapolis, with the flexibility to play offensive snaps.
After playing 475 offensive snaps and 631 defensive snaps in 2023, the Colorado star has proved he is a true two-way player who can thrive on both sides of the ball. With elite athleticism underpinning his game (coming in second on Bruce Feldman’s 2024 Freaks List), the college football phenom has the makings of a lottery pick.
15) Jacksonville Jaguars: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
With Cam Robinson and Walker Little out of their contracts at the end of the 2024 season, Jacksonville will be taking a keen interest in the development of a clustered 2025 offensive tackle class.

At 6’6” and 320 pounds, Will Campbell has the size and physical traits to create natural leverage with a strong anchor and low center of gravity. With above-average athleticism and a robust strength profile to counter on passing sets, the LSU Tiger has the makings of a franchise offensive tackle in the NFL.
24) Houston Texans: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
Denzel Burke is a prospect who plays with the mental and physical traits that NFL teams fall in love with. An above-average athlete with excellent ball skills, the Buckeyes corner has distinct football intelligence and anticipation. While he may be smaller than his 6’1”, 193-pound listing, his explosive movement and physicality negate any size deficiency.
