Here is the final edition of my 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
1. Tennessee Titans- Cam Ward, Quarterback, Miami: It seems like a fate of complete that the Titans will take Ward first considering not addressing the position in free agency. The need at quarterback is clear with Will Levis not being the answer and Ward can bring stability and competence at the position.
2. Cleveland Browns- Travis Hunter, Cornerback/Wide Receiver, Colorado: The Browns pass on the opportunity to select a quarterback and go with the drafts best player in Hunter. Whether it's at wide receiver or cornerback, Hunter will flash his advanced running routes and patience in pass coverage.
3. New York Giants- Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State: The Giants rightfully pass on a quarterback here with Cam Ward off the board and go with the best player available in Carter. He has great athleticism and super explosive which will make the Giants front seven scary along with Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence, and Kavon Thibodeaux.
4. New England Patriots- Will Campbell, Offensive Tackle, LSU: The Patriots have some options here at four and Campbell here makes a lot of sense. He is solid in pass protection and has exceptional football IQ and would be a good protector for Drake Maye.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars- Ashton Jeanty, Running Back, Boise State: The Jaguars here go with the win now pick with Jeanty, trying to revitalize their offense around Trevor Lawrence. He has the ability to find the open gaps and levitates his game in pressure moments.
6. Las Vegas Raiders- Kelvin Banks Jr., Offensive Tackle/Interior Offensive Line, Texas: The Raiders need help on their offensive line to protect Geno Smith and Banks Jr. is someone that's a fast riser. He is a masterful technician in combination blocks and is a fluid athlete in space with impressive burst.
7. New York Jets- Armand Membou, Offensive Tackle, Missouri: The Jets pass on a quarterback here and go with a future need pick with the tackle in Membou. He has great body control that allows him to mirror pass rushers and shows great athletic traits that translate to the field.
8. Carolina Panthers- Jalon Walker, Linebacker/Edge, Georgia: The Panthers defense was one of the worst in the league a year ago, so it makes sense for them to go pass rush here. Walker is a versatile player from a scheme standpoint with experience from both positions.
9. New Orleans Saints- Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia: The Saints pass on the opportunity to draft a quarterback and address their front seven instead with Williams. He has great length, strength, and power and shows good adjustments along the way.
10. Chicago Bears- Tyler Warren, Tight End, Penn State: The Bears should be addressing defense with this pick, but I also see the fascination for a win now draft pick with giving Caleb Williams a pass catcher. Warren is a dynamic weapon after the catch and shows reliable hands in traffic.
11. San Francisco 49ers- Walter Nolen, Defensive Lineman, Ole Miss: The 49ers have a lot of areas they can choose from here and this final mock I have them addressing their front seven and take a fast riser in Nolen. He is quick off the ball to shoot gaps and blow up plays.
12. Dallas Cowboys- Matthew Golden, Wide Receiver, Texas: The Cowboys go with the typical Cowboys head turning pick with going with Golden here to pair with CeeDee Lamb. He is an explosive playmaker after the catch and is a good special teams player too.
13. Miami Dolphins- Mason Graham, Defensive Lineman, Michigan: Graham was thought out to be a top five pick at one point so you can argue this is a steal of a pick for the Dolphins. Graham is a versatile player that can line up anywhere and brings a nasty demeanor to the trenches.
14. Indianapolis Colts- Colstand Loveland, Tight End, Michigan: The Colts need more offensive weapons (especially in the passing game) around Anthony Richardson and Loveland here makes sense. Despite coming off an injury, he has burst, speed, and separation skill.
15. Atlanta Falcons- James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee: The Falcons really do need young blood on defense and Pearce Jr. here some may call a reach, but he is a fast riser also. Pearce Jr. is a force to be reckoned with and has high football IQ with his ability to diagnose screen plays.
16. Arizona Cardinals- Jihaad Campbell, Inside Linebacker, Alabama: The Cardinals need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball and Campbell here makes sense. He has an explosive first jump off the tape and brings serious pop as a tackler with efficiency.
17. Cincinnati Bengals- Derrick Harmon, Defensive Line, Oregon: The Bengals need help on their pass rush and Harmon here would be a fine choice. He is a power player that brings elite upper body strength and core stability and good at reading blocking schemes and making adjustments on the fly.
18. Seattle Seahawks- Tetaiora McMillan, Wide Receiver, Arizona: McMillan is somebody who's draft stock was higher than this, but he has slipped down for a variety of reasons. He has elite ball tracking ability and displays advanced running routes on the field.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College: Ezeiruaku here to the Buccaneers makes a lot of sense considering they have a need at the position. He is a masterful technician who strings together pass rush moves with the timing and grace of a veteran.
20. Denver Broncos- Emeka Egbuka, Wide Receiver, Ohio State: Egbuka is a fast riser here on draft day and the Broncos make sense with the idea of giving Bo Nix more pass catchers. Egbuka’s ability to attack multiple coverages combined with his hard-nosed blocking will intrigue teams.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers- Kenneth Grant, Defensive Tackle, Michigan: The Steelers pass on a quarterback here and boost up their front seven and take Grant. He is a power player that can push the pocket and has an impressive quick first step.
22. Los Angeles Chargers- Mike Green, Edge, Marshall: Green here makes sense as the Chargers need to remake their front seven after parting with Joey Bosa. He is a fast player and constantly beats tackles and has relentless motor and closing burst.
23. Green Bay Packers- Will Johnson, Cornerback, Michigan: The Packers are a wild card in this first round and Johnson here makes sense. His stock dropped due to missing time with an injury, but has elite football IQ that shows up in zone coverage and nasty competitive streak in press coverage.
24. Minnesota Vikings- Malaki Starks, Safety, Georgia: The Vikings are a team people think could trade back, but they stay put and go with a need pick. Starks has a rare combination of track speed and violent physicality shows up in his tackling and shows advanced hand usage against blockers in the box.
25. Houston Texans- Donovan Jackson, Interior Offensive Line, Ohio State: The Texans revamped their offensive line this offseason, but there's still work to be done. Jackson has the size, athleticism, and power to be a needle mover on anyones offensive line and his best position is guard.
26. Los Angeles Rams- Maxwell Hairston, Cornerback, Kentucky: The Rams have several needs with a lot of their veterans retiring or being released. Hairston possesses an elite feel for zone coverage and demonstrates exceptional closing burst to the football.
27. Baltimore Ravens- Shemar Stewart, Defensive Line/Edge, Texas A&M: The Ravens arguably get a steal here with Stewart, who was mocked as high as ten to the Bears. Stewart is a versatile weapon that can wreck havoc and sets a violent rush in the run game.
28. Detroit Lions- Grey Zabel, Interior Offensive Line, North Dakota State: Zabel is getting a lot of love heading into the draft and could go in the teens. He can play at all the positions and shows impressive lower half mobility and pad level.
29. Washington Commanders- Jahdae Barron, Cornerback, Texas: The Commanders go with a need pick instead of the sexy pick with Barron. He is a versatile player who can do a variety of things and is reckless.
30. Buffalo Bills- Shavon Revel Jr., Cornerback, East Carolina: The Bills can use youth in their secondary so Revel Jr. makes sense. He has the length and raw athleticism and his elite recovery speed.
31. Kansas City Chiefs- Josh Simmons, Offensive Tackle, Ohio State: The Chiefs need offensive line help badly and here they get arguably the best tackle in the class, although coming off an injury. Simmons is versatile and has exceptional lateral mobility.
32. Philadelphia Eagles- Josh Conerly Jr., Offensive Tackle, Oregon: The Eagles go with a long term need here with Conerly Jr., who can be a long term replacement for Lane Johnson. He is an elite pass protector that shows exceptional consistency in protection and is a clean player.
