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 NFC West.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: NFC West Edition
7) Arizona Cardinals: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Will Johnson is ranked second on PFN’s top 100 prospects and is a true lockdown corner for the Wolverines. With fluid movement, reactive quickness, and sharp ball skills combined with intelligence, refined technique, and awareness, the pathway is set for Johnson to take the NFL by storm.
12) Seattle Seahawks: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Mykel Williams is a long edge rusher who holds up against the run on Georgia’s defensive front. Further, he offers immense potential as a pass rusher. With 27 pressures and six sacks in 2023, Williams showcases explosive athleticism, unwavering power, and agile flexibility.
The Georgia defender is still a projection due to his developing pass-rush plan. Nevertheless, he grades out as an early selection because of his physical traits and elite athleticism.
17) Los Angeles Rams: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
Sean McVay and the Rams must start planning for life after Matthew Stafford. While he may not be ready to start immediately, Quinn Ewers has an exciting combination of arm strength, functional athleticism, and pocket movement that fits well in McVay’s scheme.

While the Texas quarterback still needs to work on the consistency of his mechanics, Los Angeles would be an excellent environment for Ewers to continue his development.
31) San Francisco 49ers: J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
J.T. Tuimoloau is an active, heavy-handed pass rusher who has flashed in Columbus. While the Ohio State product has shown good awareness and vision, he lacks some bend, flexibility, and inventive pass-rush moves. Paired with other inconsistencies, he struggles to challenge the elite atop the edge class.
However, Tuimoloau has the foundational floor to compete against both phases and has some high-level play that can be further unlocked at the next level.
