The NFL regular season is coming to a close and, for some teams, that means they are moving on to focus on the 2025 NFL Draft while others compete for a Super Bowl. Let’s take a look at a 2025 NFL Mock Draft.

2025 NFL Mock Draft

It’s going to be an interesting offseason leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft as teams who need quarterbacks could really shift where top defensive players fall in April. Take a look at our latest mock draft for 2025.

1. Giants – Shedeur Sanders (QB, Colorado)

The big question will be between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders for the top pick in the draft. The Giants need a quarterback after parting ways with Daniel Jones this season. Shedeur Sanders has a quick release and isn’t afraid of the big stage. He spins the ball well and has the tools to develop quickly at the next level.

2. Raiders – Cam Ward (QB, Miami FL)

If Sanders goes no. 1, Ward is likely going no. 2 as the Raiders are also in the market for a quarterback. Ward had a strong season at Miami and is the only other quarterback worthy of being a top-10 pick in the draft. He threw 36 touchdown passes in the regular season for the Hurricanes.

3. Patriots – Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT, Texas)

The Patriots need help on the offensive line to protect quarterback Drake Maye and Kelvin Banks Jr. is the top tackle in the draft. He has great lateral quickness and walls off defenders. He has the ability to develop into an elite pass blocker in New England.

4. Jaguars – Will Johnson (CB, Michigan)

The Jaguars can boost their secondary with elite cornerback Will Johnson at no. 4. Johnson is a lockdown corner who can read receivers well and has great size (6’2″) that helps him match up with anyone. He has speed too and looks like he will be fantastic in coverage at the next level.

5. Panthers – Mason Graham (DT, Michigan)

The Panthers need to boost their defensive line and Mason Graham is a monster on the interior. He is unblockable for long stretches of games and shreds blockers easily to make plays. He also can occupy double teams and will be a nice fit in Carolina.

6. Titans – Travis Hunter (CB/WR, Colorado)

The Titans could easily trade down if Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders isn’t available as we know they have a glaring need at quarterback. If they stay at no. 6, the talented Travis Hunter might be too good to pass up. It’s still unclear how he will be used in the NFL, but Hunter is a special talent who would be an impact player for Tennessee.

7. Browns – Will Campbell (OT, LSU)

The Browns will need help on the offensive line and Will Campbell is a good fit here. While Cleveland has a lot of needs, the trenches will be the main focus early on as they look to protect Deshaun Watson at quarterback who has struggled with injuries in Cleveland.

8. Jets – Abdul Carter (EDGE, Penn State)

The Jets could be looking at a teardown of the team after a disappointing season. They have to figure out what to do with Aaron Rodgers and might not have a quarterback. The problem? It’s not a great QB class and the best two options will be gone by number 8. The Jets could have one of the best players in the entire draft fall in their lap though and they could scoop up Abdul Carter.

9. Bears – Mykel Williams (EDGE, Georgia)

The Bears are in a tricky spot as they are desperate for help on the offensive line but top tackles Kelvin Banks Jr. and Will Campbell will likely be gone by now. This leaves a tough decision of reaching for an offensive lineman in the top 10 or getting the best available player to help in the pass rush. They could easily add edge rusher Mykel Williams here.

10. Saints – James Pearce Jr. (EDGE, Tennessee)

The Saints have multiple needs on the defensive line and at linebacker. Chase Young is heading for free agency and that means they will need a talented edge rusher to replace him. James Pearce is one of the best edge players in the draft and would be a nice addition in New Orleans.

11. Dolphins – Nic Scourton (EDGE, Texas A&M)

Depending on how the top-10 picks fall, we could see the Dolphins getting a solid pass rusher off the edge at number 11. A player like Mykel Williams, James Pearce Jr., or Nic Scourton could be available. Scourton is a great power rusher and a disruptive run defender.

12. Colts – Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama)

The Colts are getting older on defense and the front seven looks like it will need to be addressed this offseason including linebacker with EJ Speed becoming a free agent. Adding the top linebacker in the drain Deontae Lawson would be a nice replacement.

13. Bengals – Benjamin Morrison (CB, Notre Dame)

The Bengals defense has been absolutely horrible this season. They are 29th in total yards and 26th in pass yards given up. They need help in the secondary and Benjamin Morrison is a great fit to boost a unit that needs depth.

14. Cowboys – Asthon Jeanty (RB, Boise State)

Will the Cowboys be able to pass on Ashton Jeanty? He’s the best running back in the draft (by far) and a top-10 prospect in the draft. The Cowboys are 26th in rushing and might not be able to let Jeanty head to another team. Dallas has needs on both lines and could easily scoop up an EDGE rusher if a player like Williams or Pearce Jr. falls this far.

15. 49ers – Kenneth Grant (DT, Michigan)

The 49ers need help on both sides of the football when it comes to the line. There probably won’t be a first-round talent available at offensive tackle so it would make sense for the 49ers to boost their defensive line with Kenneth Grant from Michigan.

16. Falcons – Jalon Walker (EDGE, Georgia)

The Falcons struggle to get after the quarterback as they are near the bottom of the league in sacks and pressure percentage. They should target an edge rusher and Jalon Walker will be one of the best available in the middle of the first round.

17. Cardinals – Derrick Harmon (DT, Oregon)

The Cardinals have needs on defense and could add a strong player like Derrick Harmon to the defensive line if they fall in the middle of the first round. A top-25 player on most boards, Harmon would be a strong addition.

18. Seahawks – Tyler Booker (OG, Alabama)

The offensive line is going to be the focus for the Seahawks with the unit having major questions on the interior. We could see them take Tyler Booker from Alabama as he is one of the top guards in the draft.

19. Chargers – Colston Loveland (TE, Michigan)

A solid tight end who can stretch the field? That sounds like something Jim Harbaugh would love to have on his offense. So Harbaugh goes with one of his former players at Michigan and adds tight end Colston Loveland to give Justin Herbert another weapon on offense.

20. Buccaneers – Malaki Starks (S, Georgia)

The Bucs need depth and help in the secondary which means they will jump on the best available corner or safety. In this case, it’s Malaki Starks from Georgia as he is a versatile safety with good size and speed.

21. Rams – Emery Jones Jr. (OT, LSU)

We can expect the Rams to add depth on the offensive line and that means we could see Emory Jones Jr. go off the board here. Jones Jr. has the potential to be an anchor in pass protection and has the length to handle speed off the edge.

22. Commanders – Tetairoa McMillan (WR, Arizona)

The Commanders are looking to build up young talent on offense and they will take Tetairoa McMillan in a heartbeat if he is still on the board in the early 20s. He naturally snags the ball out of the air and can accelerate after the catch which will be a great addition for young QB Jayden Daniels.

23. Broncos – Tyler Warren (TE, Penn State)

Boosting the weapons around young quarterback Bo Nixon will be a priority for the Broncos who have surprised us all this year and are in the playoff hunt. Tyler Warren is a huge target (6’6″) for Nix and would be a nice fit in Denver.

24. Ravens – Nick Emmanwori (S, South Carolina)

There is a need at safety for the Ravens and they can get a high-value player in Nick Emmanwori in the 20s if things fall their way. Emmanwori has excellent length (6’3″) and has the versatility to cover wide receivers and tight ends all over the field.

25. Texans – Donovan Jackson (OG, Ohio State)

CJ Stroud is under constant pressure this season and the interior offensive line has to be addressed for the Texans. Guard Donovan Jackson would be a nice fit here as the interior offensive line has surrendered 20+ sacks in Houston this season.

26. Steelers – Tre Harris (WR, Ole Miss)

The Steelers have a decision to make at quarterback as Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are free agents but it wouldn’t be wild to see them bring Wilson back. If so, they could take the top wide receiver available and get Tre Harris from Ole Miss.

27. Packers – Tyleik Williams (DT, Ohio State)

It will likely be a cornerback or defensive lineman for the Packers in round 1 and Tyleik Williams is a good fit for a team that is looking for help clogging up the interior. Williams is great at stopping the run and does a fantastic job of getting his hands up in passing lanes.

28. Vikings – Walter Nolen (DT, Ole Miss)

It has been an unexpected season for the Vikings (12-2) as they are in a position for a chance to win the NFC North. They will be looking to boost their defense in the draft and Walter Nolen would be a talented defensive tackle to add.

29. Bills – Luther Burden III (WR, Missouri)

The Bills will have some flexibility in free agency as well as the draft due to having an extra second-round pick thanks to the Stefon Diggs trade. They could go with the best available here and get wide receiver Luther Burden III which also addresses Amari Cooper set to become a free agent.

30. Eagles – Landon Jackson (EDGE, Arkansas)

The Eagles are going to be looking for help in their pass rush this season with the uncertain status of Brandon Graham (retirement), Josh Sweat (UFA), and Bryce Huff (poor performance). This could make them lean toward drafting the best available EDGE rusher and Landon Jackson fits here.

31. Lions – Shemar Turner (EDGE, Texas A&M)

The Lions have been crushed by injuries this season on the defensive side of the football and it has shown how important depth in your pass rush can be. They could take Shemar Turner to complement stud edge rusher, Aidan Hutchinson.

32. Chiefs – Aireontae Ersery (OT, Minnesota)

The Chiefs have drafted a tackle in the past two drafts but Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia have both struggled so far. This means the Chiefs might go offensive line again at the end of the first round as they scoop up Aireontae Ersery from Minnesota. He has a high ceiling and is quick for his outstanding size (6’6″, 330 lbs).
