As the NFL Offseason shifts away from free agency and big trades, all eyes now shift to the 2025 NFL Draft. Following a very interesting combine, top college prospects are mere hours away from making their lifelong dreams reality. Continuing a tradition I started last year, here is a 2-Round 2025 Mock Draft.
Round 1:
Pick 1 - Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
Ward is the consensus top signal-caller in this class. I don't think he is worth the first pick, but nevertheless, I will continue to support my boys in the Two-Tone Blue.
Pick 2 - Cleveland Browns: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
The Browns might have the worst situation in football. QB Deshaun Watson re-tore his Achilles in 2024, so a QB is definitely in play here. Since I don’t like the signal callers, I have them picking the person I want the Titans to pick. A Carter-Myles Garrett duo off the end might be the best in the league.
Pick 3 - New York Giants: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
I'm not sold on how Hunter will be used in the NFL, but with the weird signings of both Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, a signal caller at this pick seems unlikely. Hunter can play on both sides of the ball, giving them a young piece to build around.
Pick 4 - New England Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
In a perfect world, New England trades back, but this draft lacks top-end talent to entice potential suitors. The Pats need a lot of help, including weapons for Drake Maye, but protecting him is a bigger priority. Campbell was a beast at LT in the SEC, and he could be moved to guard, which is something that new coach Mike Vrabel did in 2023 with Titans first rounder Peter Skoronski. Either way, they need to build a good line pretty fast to keep Maye safe, and no matter where he lines up, Campbell is a must-draft.
Pick 5 - Jacksonville Jaguars: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Jacksonville has holes all over the roster, especially on the defensive line. Graham is a unit who can get home vs. the pass and stop the run at a high clip. This is a need, and a best player available pick, which is rare but something the Jags need to get back to the playoffs. He could be a monster next to former first overall pick, Trevon Walker.
Pick 6 - Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Las Vegas has a glaring need in the backfield. Jeanty was a monster at Boise this season. If he is still on the board, the Raiders have to pick him. He would take the load off of Geno Smith and could thrive early on under Pete Carroll, who once upon a time relied heavily on the run with Marshawn Lynch in Seattle.
Pick 7 - New York Jets: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The Jets are a mess of an organization. They have no clear direction, so this pick could be anyone. Williams is a high-risk, high-reward pass rusher who could develop extremely well. In a stacked defense, Williams won’t be asked to do a whole lot early and could make some noise once he gets more experience.
Pick 8 - Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillian, WR, Arizona
The Bryce Young resurgence last year was great, but Carolina must continue to surround him with help. McMillan is a 6’5” target with good hands and explosiveness to boot. His athleticism and build give him an extremely high ceiling. In an offense in need of a true WR1, McMillian could very well be Young’s favorite target early on.
Pick 9 - New Orleans Saints: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Shedeur Sanders is a possibility, but the Saints traded away longtime CB1 Marshon Lattimore at the trade deadline. Last year, they took Kool-Aid McKinstry in the second round, who has blossomed into a potential star. Johnson can take Lattimore’s place right away and shut down opposing teams' top targets. Acquiring Johnson would be a good first step in what looks to be a long rebuild for New Orleans.
Pick 10 - Chicago Bears: Kelvin Banks Jr, OT, Texas
Caleb Williams spent a good chunk of 2024 on the turf. Banks won both the Lombardi and Outland trophies, both lineman of the year awards, in 2024. He’ll be a day-one starter on a line that looks much improved for '25.
Pick 11 - San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
The Niners are in a weird spot and could go anywhere, especially after the Deebo Samuel trade and other offseason releases. Booker gives them a high-upside interior lineman to block for Christian McCaffery’s runs and the RPOs that Kyle Shanahan calls.
Pick 12 - Dallas Cowboys: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Golden is a high-reward, dynamic player who can do damage in all parts of the passing game and on returns. Adding a true threat next to CeeDee Lamb would be a huge win for Dallas. He might be the best receiver in the draft.
Pick 13 - Pittsburgh Steelers (Mock Trade via MIA): Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
PIT Receives: Pick 13, 2026 5th Rounder
MIA Receives: Pick 21, Pick 185, 2026 1st Rounder, 2026 3rd Rounder, 2027 6th Rounder
I did not give Sanders a first round grade, but I am also not an NFL GM. Frankly, I don't see the hype with him. However, the Steelers need a guy who can throw the football in both the present and future for whatever the hell their team is trying to be.
Pick 14 - Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Warren was a one-man wrecking crew for the Nittany Lions this year. The Colts need a safety blanket for the widely inaccurate Anthony Richardson to save the project that has been his career. Warren brings a unique combination of route-running and playmaking that makes him a dynamic presence in an offense; something that Indy desperately needs.
Pick 15 - Atlanta Falcons: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Barron, the Thorpe Award winner as the best DB in the nation, would instantly form a potentially top duo with AJ Terrell on the boundary to help fix a defense that was bottom-tier in 2024. With second-year QB Michael Penix Jr at the helm, Atlanta needs to invest on the defense to take pressure off the lefty gunslinger.
Pick 16 - Arizona Cardinals: James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee
The Cardinals need a big time guy off the edge to get to the QB. Pearce was a projected top-10 pick in the summer, but didn’t produce up to that standard and has some red flags off the field. He still has elite athleticism and talent that head man Johnathan Gannon could reel in and unleash. Pearce may have the most upside out of any defensive player in the draft, but will fall due to character concerns. This may be the highest he is mocked.
Pick 17 - Cincinnati Bengals: Ben Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Bengals defense was roasted, deep-fried, seared, sous vide, slow-roasted or whatever cooking adjective you want to use last year, so enter Morrison. In the preseason, he was mocked as high as the top-10. However, a hip injury in October ended his season and hurt his draft stock. When healthy, he is a top-3 cornerback in the class and has worlds of upside. He just needs to stay on the field to prove it.
Pick 18 - Seattle Seahawks: Armand Membou, OT, Missori
Seattle is in need of a tackle to play across LT Charles Cross. Membou is that guy. In 3 years at Mizzou, be allowed just 3 sacks, none in 2024. Don’t expect that to happen in the NFL, but that’s a damn good statline in the SEC.
Pick 19 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
With franchise icon Lavonte David getting old and soon to be calling it a career, Tampa needs his replacement. While Walker may not fall this far, if he does, the Bucs should be all over him. He is a versatile playmaker that thrives in multiple facets of the game. He is a potential gamechanger.
Pick 20 - Denver Broncos: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Burden went into this fall as a top-10 pick. QB injuries led to a disappointing season, but don’t get his statline confused for a non-impact player. Burden is a speedster who can beat you deep or short, a playmaker the Broncos desperately need for Bo Nix. He is a top-10 talent that they get at 20th overall.
Pick 21 - Miami Dolphins (Mock Trade via PIT): Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
See Pick 13 for Trade Details
Starks is a top-10 or 15 talent in the draft and he falls in my mock. If this happens in real life, I bet that Mike McDaniel would be all over the do-it-all Bulldog to help shore up an aging secondary in need of a young playmaker, especially since Jevon Holland left in free agency.
Pick 22 - Los Angeles Chargers: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, TA&M
With the release of Joey Bosa, and Khalil Mack getting up there in age, Stewart would be a nice replacement. He showed out at the combine with one of the best performances in Indy (4.49 40, 40" vertical). His athletic ability should allow him to be a potential game-wrecker from day one.
Pick 23 - Green Bay Packers: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The Packers haven't had a true WR1 since they shipped out Davante Adams. Egbuka is a crafty route runner who knows how to get open. If Matt Lafleur really wants Jordan Love to succeed, getting him a go-to-guy with the big game experience that Egbuka brings, it could help the Pack return to the top of the NFC North.
Pick 24 - Minnesota Vikings: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Another combine darling, Emmanwori had a big day. The Vikings need fresh blood in the secondary, with longtime starter Harrison Smith getting up there in age. Emmanwori is an elite athlete, which he showed in Indianapolis, and is exactly what Minnesota needs in their defense.
Pick 25 - Houston Texans: Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon
The Texans saw a regression in CJ Stroud during his sophomore season, largely due to a horrible line. While they do need a receiver, Conerly was a rock on the Ducks offensive line. Keeping Stroud upright has to be the number one priority for Houston.
Pick 26 - Washington Commanders (Mock Trade via LAR): Nic Scourton, EDGE, TA&M
WAS Receives: Pick 26, Pick 100, 2026 7th Rounder
LAR Receives: Pick 29, Pick 79, 2026 4th Rounder
After their surprise season, the Commanders find themselves needing a threat off the end. While Scourton isn’t as athletic as his Aggie teammate, Stewart, he was more productive while playing SEC ball. He could be a big get for head coach Dan Quinn and the defense.
Pick 27 - Baltimore Ravens: Maxwell Hariston, CB, Kentucky
The Ravens drafted another corner, Nate Wiggins, in the first round last year, and they’ll do the same this year with the guy who ran the fastest 40-yard-dash at the combine. Hariston is raw, but athletic, which is a high-risk, very high-reward combination. He could do great things in Baltimore.
Pick 28 - Detroit Lions: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The Lions defense fell apart last season, mostly due to injury. Adding Green, a freak athelte who led the FBS with 17 sacks, would add much-needed depth and more importantly, talent to a defense that needs to play more consistently if Detroit is to make another playoff run.
Pick 29 - Los Angeles Rams (Mock Trade via WAS): Grey Zabel, OT, NDSU
See Pick 26 for Trade Details
Trading away Jonah Jackson to the Bears in the offseason is a clear indication that the line will be addressed. Receiver could also be a pick here, but with essentially swapping Cooper Kupp for Davante Adams, LA can punt on a wideout until later. Zabel provides some pocket protection for an aging Matt Stafford.
Pick 30 - Buffalo Bills: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
Buffalo has a glaring need for a receiver as well, but in a deep receiver class, they can wait with one of their two second-rounders. Watts will immediately slide in as a starter and make an impact on a Bills defense that needs help in the secondary.
Pick 31 - Kansas City Chiefs: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Chiefs could go offensive line or receiver, but with Travis Kelce closer every day to calling it a career, drafting his successor while he is still playing is another good choice.
Pick 32 - Philadelphia Eagles: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
The Eagles are a stacked team with no urgent need at any position, which is a nice luxury to have. Campbell, like their recent first-round picks, figures to be a high upside backup early on who can step up in year two as a starter.
Round 2:
Pick 33 - Cleveland Browns: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Like I said earlier, the Browns could take a QB, but the offensive line is another issue that they have to address. Ersery can slide in and get valuable experience early on a bad team.
Pick 34 - Dallas Cowboys (Mock Trade via NYG): Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
DAL Receives: Pick 34, Pick 256
NYG Receives: Pick 44, 2026 3rd Rounder, 2027 4th Rounder
The Cowboys are a mess of an organization and have a lot of needs. DeMarvion Overshown likely out for most of 2025 with a brutal knee injury, Ezeiruaku can slide in and play immediately at a high clip.
Pick 35 - Tennessee Titans: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
Tennessee needs a young dynamic target, and have needed one ever since the ill-fated AJ Brown trade. Harris is a catch-and-run specialist, especially in the short game. Cam Ward gets a running mate.
Pick 36 - Jacksonville Jaguars: Tre Amos, CB, Ole Miss
The Jags get a disruptor in Mason Graham in the first, then take Amos to help the secondary here. It is a nice start for a team that needs young talent.
Pick 37 - Las Vegas Raiders: Derek Harmon, DT, Oregon
Harmon, a borderline top-20 talent slides out of the first. I would expect LV to pounce him if he falls to them.
Pick 38 - New England Patriots: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
This is a reach but Ayomanor has extremely high upside. Even with the addition of Stefon Diggs, Drake Maye doesn't have much. Ayomanor can step in immediately and be a big play, go-up-and-get-it type of target for the team, something they need very badly.
Pick 39 - Chicago Bears (via CAR): Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Chicago goes to the other line in the second round, adding Nolen to their defensive line. With Montez Sweat on the outside, Nolen could feast if given the opportunity.
Pick 40 - New Orleans Saints: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Dart might have the most potential out of all the QB’s. With the Saints strapped to Derek Carr’s horrible contract, Dart can sit for his rookie year, develop, and then be the Saints signal caller of the future under new coach Kellen Moore and his offense.
Pick 41 - Chicago Bears: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Hampton is a high-upside back who would thrive next to D'Andre Swift. New coach Ben Johnson loved using the two-headed monster of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in Detroit. Now he gets his tandem in Chi-Town.
Pick 42 - New York Jets: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
He does need a year to sit behind a veteran, which he gets with Justin Fields, but Ewers is just 21 years of age and has uncoachable arm talent. He could very well be the best passer out of this class if he develops properly. NY gives him that.
Pick 43 - San Francisco 49ers: Shavon Revel, CB, ECU
San Fran lost starting CB Charvarius Ward in free agency. Revel, a former Amazon warehouse worker, would be a possible plug-and-play from Week One. Check his story out, it might be the best in the draft.
Pick 44 - Seattle Seahawks (Mock Trade from NYG via DAL): Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
SEA Receives: Pick 44
NYG Receives: Pick 50, 2026 4th Rounder, 2027 5th Rounder
The Hawks lost Dre'Mont Jones to Tennessee this offseason, which hurts an already painfully average defense. Adding Sawyer, a powerful rusher off the end, would help take the pressure off of 2024 first-rounder, DT Byron Murphy.
Pick 45 - Denver Broncos (Mock Trade via IND): Harold Fannin Jr, TE, Bowling Green
DEN Receives: Pick 45, 2026 5th Rounder
IND Receives: Pick 51, 2026 3rd Rounder, 2027 4th Rounder
After getting their TE of the future, the Colts trade back so that the Broncos give Nix another young, athletic weapon in Fannin.
Pick 46 - Atlanta Falcons: JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
The Dirty Birds need pass rush help in a huge way. JTT would be a nice add to the group, bringing loads of talent and experience.
Pick 47 - Arizona Cardinals: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Grant was a force in his own right next to Graham and has first-round hype. Falling in my mock, the Cards will gladly beef up with him.
Pick 48 - Miami Dolphins: Jonah Saviienaea, OT, Arizona
After losing Terron Armstead to retirement, the Fins grab his replacement. Saviienaea can step in right away on a line that must keep Tua Tagovailoa healthy in 2025.
Pick 49 - Cincinnati Bengals: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Trey Hendrickson, who has had back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons wants a new contract after the mega-extensions of WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Bengals are notoriously cheap, so here they take a possible replacement in the powerful Jackson.
Pick 50 - New York Giants (Mock Trade via SEA): Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
See Pick 44 for Trade Details
After Dart and Ewers get taken, the Giants hit a double trade back and nab Milroe. He is an extremely high-upside player who might have the most athletic potential in the draft. He can sit behind Russ or Jameis for a couple years and maybe be the answer for the Giants. If not, he'll be a great gadget weapon.
Pick 51 - Indianapolis Colts (Mock Trade via DEN): TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
See Pick 45 for Trade Details
The Colts trade back and take their DeForest Buckner replacement. As simple as that.
Pick 52 - Pittsburgh Steelers: Wyatt Millum, OG, West Virginia
The Steelers need offensive line depth, especially if they take Sanders in the first round. Millum would be an excellent pick to add to the mix, providing very good value and potential.
Pick 53 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
The Bucs add more talent in the front-7 with Walker in the first and now Umanmielen at 53rd. Both would help Tampa's defense improve, especially the pass rush.
Pick 54 - Green Bay Packers: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
The Pack doesn’t necessarily need a d-tackle, but Walker’s upside is in the damn stratosphere. He has legit first round talent. If they can harness it, GB has their Kenny Clark replacement.
Pick 55 - Los Angeles Chargers: Jack Bech, WR, TCU
Pairing Bech up with 2024 second-rounder, Ladd McConkey would form an explosive duo for strong-armed QB Justin Herbert to throw to.
Pick 56 - Buffalo Bills (via MIN): Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
The speedster Bond had a rough combine after he said he'd break the record for the 40. He still ran a great 4.39, but that’s nowhere near the record of 4.21. However, he got up to 24.17 mph on his run, the second-fastest at the combine, and got up to 22 mph vs. UTSA this year. Along with his elite route running, Josh Allen gets a dangerous deep threat.
Pick 57 - Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
Carolina was dead last in both yards allowed and points in 2024. A big reason why was a non-existent pass rush. Oladejo is an intriguing prospect who could provide a boost from the get-go.
Pick 58 - Houston Texans: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
After passing on a receiver in the first round, Houston takes a flier on the talented Higgins. The former Cyclone has go-to-guy written all over him.
Pick 59 - Baltimore Ravens: Benjamin Morris, CB, Notre Dame
Baltimore backs up their secondary in the second round with a solid corner from Notre Dame.
Pick 60 - Detroit Lions: Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State
Detroit lost starting RG Kevin Zeitler in free agency, so drafting Jackson as a plug-and-play option is an intriguing one. He started all four years at college and has the ability to do just that at the pro level.
Pick 61 - Washington Commanders: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
The Commanders got roasted in the NFC Championship game by the Eagles. Porter provides more secondary talent in a division loaded with great receivers.
Pick 62 - Buffalo Bills: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
Collins provides more beef up front against the run. He led a great defensive line at Texas that was dominant against the run, something that all Super Bowl contenders need.
Pick 63 - Kansas City Chiefs: Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
The Chiefs have a barren receiving core outside of the speedy Xavier Worthy. Restrepo is a explosive route runner who thrives off the catch, something that an Andy Reid receiver needs to do well. While his pro day 40-yard dash of 4.83 on a tight hamstring is concerning, he plays much faster than that.
Pick 64 - Philadelphia Eagles: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Once again, Philly has the luxury to take a pick with a lot of potential. Taylor can be a solid backup to Dallas Goedert and provide some valuable depth at tight end.
Final Thoughts:
A lot of this will probably be wrong as trades are hard to predict, especially once we hit the second round. Also, many teams true priorities are not known to the public, but regardless, this was a fun one to do, and I tried my very best. Stay on the lookout for more offseason coverage soon!
