I’m not going to waste your time. This is a long article. It’s a two-round 2025 NFL mock draft.

You know the deal by now and how this works. As I usually do, I kept track of these picks through NFL Mock Draft Database and used a combination of my own board and what I expect the consensus to be in the league at this stage. The draft order is reflective of how it would be if the season ended today (which it obviously doesn’t).

Round 1

1. Jaguars: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Hunter is a rare athlete with elite two-way capabilities and the playmaking on both sides of the ball to be a star wherever he’s positioned. Receivers or cornerbacks typically aren’t the No. 1 pick, but there’s never been a player quite as unique as Hunter.

2. Dolphins: Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

If Tua Tagovailoa retires, there’s a real chance the Dolphins go quarterback here, even in a weak class. That said, I like Graham here for them, as he gives them the explosive 3-technique they lost in Christian Wilkins last free agency.

3. Patriots: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas

Protecting Drake Maye should be the priority for the Patriots going forward. Banks is my top tackle in this year’s draft and brings high level quickness, strength and length to the table.

4. Bengals: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

There are more polished edge rushers in the 2025 draft, but Williams is likely the freakiest athlete. His length, burst and power are all top-notch, making him an ideal replacement for Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati.

5. Browns: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Left tackle Jedrick Wills is a free agent this offseason, and Cleveland’s offensive line isn’t what it once was with Bill Callahan as their OL coach. Campbell’s size, body control, raw power and spatial awareness should make him a Day 1 starting tackle for the Browns here.

6. Titans: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

A quarterback is possible if Will Levis continues to struggle, but it also wouldn’t be a bad idea to bet on an edge rusher with elite athleticism like Carter, who has made the transition to EDGE full-time quite well.

7. Panthers: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

Wait…another quarterback from Alabama heading to the Panthers? After they benched Bryce Young, I find it tough to believe they see him as the long-term answer. Milroe is bigger with a stronger arm and is a better athlete, providing much more upside at this stage than Young two disappointing years into his NFL career.

8. Rams: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

The Rams have done a good job overhauling their defensive line with youth, so now it’s time to bolster the secondary. Johnson, for my money, might be the best pure football player in the 2025 draft. He’s that good.

9. Cardinals: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

Dennis Gardeck has been a pleasant surprise off the edge for Arizona, but he’s over 30 and doesn’t have a consistent running-mate yet. Pearce is a dynamic athlete with the finesse in his hands and high motor to be a reliable stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4 system.

10. Giants: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)

Is this the year the Giants finally move on from Daniel Jones? Ward’s hot start to the 2024 season has him shooting up boards, and though I have questions about his translatability, he has a good arm with serious flashes of touch down the field.

11. Colts: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Morrison is a Day 1 starter at cornerback with the fluidity, instincts, ball skills and physicality to be a CB1 at the next level. With some questions at the position, the Colts seem like a team who would love his services.

12. Chargers: Deone Walker, DL, Kentucky

Jim Harbaugh is a football guy’s coach, and he knows how important it is to win in the trenches. If he got the chance to pick Walker, a freak athlete at 6’6” and 348 pounds who can dominate double-teams and rush the passer, he would likely drool at the opportunity.

13. Saints: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

I find it hard to believe McMillan falls out of the top 15 with the start he’s having to the year. He’s an elite jump-ball receiver with great body control and hands, and he would really round out the Saints’ receiver room even more than it already is.

14. Cowboys: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Jeanty is putting up video game numbers to start the 2024 season, and the Cowboys desperately need an upgrade at running back. Jahmyr Gibbs went No. 12 overall in 2023, and I think Jeanty deserves to go in a similar range.

15. Bears: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

Scourton has 3.0 sacks through 5 games and can defend the run at a high level. He’s quick in a vacuum with great play strength and an understanding of how to use his hands to shed blocks that’s wise beyond his years. He and Montez Sweat would create a formidable duo off the edge in Chicago.

16. Packers: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

A Group of 5 prospect coming off a torn ACL in the top half of the first round? Yes. That’s how good Revel’s tape is. He has size, ball skills, route-recognition capabilities, aggression as a tackler and great size-adjusted athleticism. His film looks the part of a Round 1 talent.

17. 49ers: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU

The 49ers have a pretty stacked roster, and Colton McKivitz isn’t a bad option at right tackle. That said, he might not be the answer there long-term, and Trent Williams turns 37 in July. Jones is raw in his hands but has the size, strength and agility needed to develop into a high-end starting tackle in a system like San Francisco’s.

18. Ravens: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

This is farther than I think Burden should fall, but the Ravens take advantage in this scenario. He’s my favorite YAC receiver in this draft, and his elite burst and powerful, stocky frame makes him a pain to bring down. I see DJ Moore in his tape and could see him putting up similar numbers in the NFL.

19. Eagles: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Campbell is relatively under the radar at this stage, but he’s a former five-star recruit at edge rusher who has excelled at MIKE for Alabama this year. He’s 6’3” and 244 pounds, physical, fluid, high-motored and brings high-end coverage instincts. Remember his name as he shoots up boards.

20. Jets: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

With his size, positional versatility, athleticism and instincts in coverage, I could see Starks being a star safety in the NFL, which the Jets have been lacking for some time.

21. Raiders: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas

Gardner Minshew isn’t the long-term solution at quarterback for the Raiders. Ewers might be my QB3 off the board in this mock, but he’s my QB1 currently on board. He’s always has elite arm talent, but before he got hurt this year, he was maximizing that arm with impressive touch and better decision-making downfield.

22. Broncos: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland

One of the breakout stars of the 2024 season so far, Felton has inside-outside versatility at receiver with good length, fluidity, ball skills and instincts against zone coverage. Denver is lacking in weapons for Bo Nix, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see Felton shoot into Round 1 when it’s all said and done.

23. Falcons: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU

Even after an ACL tear, Perkins is my top linebacker in the 2025 draft. He’s a Swiss army knife who can rush off the edge with a high motor, cover in space with elite athleticism and stop the run quite well. He’s small, but like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has for the Browns, I think Perkins becomes a Pro Bowl player.

24. Lions: Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona

I think Savaiinaea is a better prospect than his former Arizona teammate Jordan Morgan, who went No. 25 to the Packers this past draft. I also foresee Savaiinaea making the jump to guard, where his strength and coordination will shine and his lack of elite kickslide quickness will be masked.

25. Commanders: Kyren Lacy, WR, LSU

Reuniting quarterbacks with their former college receivers: a tale as old as time. Lacy has excelled in a bigger role in LSU’s offense this year, and with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. gone, he’s been able to put his massive frame, loose hips and diverse release package to good use.

26. Bills: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

I really think Egbuka is the victim of prospect fatigue; he’s been good for so long that some evaluators get bored with him in favor of the shiny new toy. If he lands here and gets to catch passes from Josh Allen, I could see him becoming a 1,000-yard receiver in the pros.

27. Seahawks: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Ersery has the size, length, mean streak and sneaky athleticism to project as a long-term starter at tackle, and if the Seahawks give him time to iron out his hand placement and pad level, he could be a stud for them.

28. Steelers: Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan

Coming out of high school, Grant was 360 pounds and ran a sub-5.0 40-yard dash. He’s since “trimmed down” to 339 pounds and has the hand usage, power and quickness to be an impact interior defender as a 3-tech, 1-tech or true nose.

29. Texans: DeMonte Capehart, DL, Clemson

Capehart is only a one-year full-time starter, but he’s been a reliable piece of Clemson’s defensive line rotation for the last three years. He has an NFL-ready build with great length, powerful hands and a sturdy anchor at the point of attack.

30. Buccaneers: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona

Davis offers tremendous size with a listing of 6’4”, and his ball skills are among the best in the class. For someone as tall as he is, his film showcases some pretty good fluidity working across his body, too.

31. Vikings: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State

Burke likely could’ve been an early-round pick in 2024 before deciding to return to school for another year. He’s a lengthy corner with a competitive and physical style of play who could fit well with the mentality the Vikings’ defense has been building the last few years.

32. Chiefs: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

I wanted to slide Loveland higher but couldn’t find the right spot. He’s a dynamic athlete with impressive deep speed, top-notch coordination on the seam and good separation skills as a route runner. Sound like a good long-term Travis Kelce successor to you? He sure does to me.

Round 2

33. Jaguars: Josh Conerly Jr., OL, Oregon

34. Patriots: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

35. Bengals: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

36. Browns: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia

37. Titans: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia

38. Bears (via Panthers): Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

After receiving death threats for not addressing the offensive line in Round 1, the Bears shore up the guard position here with Booker. He’s a massive interior lineman who combines his stocky frame with ideal lower-half flexibility and impressive quickness off the line of scrimmage. If he cuts down a bit on penalties and keeps his conditioning up, the ceiling is very high for him in the NFL.

39. Panthers (via Rams): J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State

40. Cardinals: Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss

41. Giants: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

42. Dolphins: Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State

43. Chargers: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

44. Saints: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State

45. Cowboys: Tyleik Williams, DL, Ohio State

46. Bears: Parker Brailsford, C, Alabama

The Bears go back to the Alabama well to take another one of their interior offensive linemen. Brailsford is my top center in the 2025 draft, and as of this writing, he’s the only one I’d consider drafting in the first two rounds. He’s undersized but has elite athleticism for the center position, plays with ideal pad level on a consistent basis, and he processes well against blitzes and exotic rush packages. He has the potential to be an above-average starting center in the NFL for quite some time.

47. Packers: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

48. 49ers: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

49. Ravens: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

50. Colts: Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State

51. Jets: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

52. Raiders: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

53. Broncos: Keon Sabb, S, Alabama

54. Falcons: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

55. Eagles: Patrick Payton, EDGE, Florida State

56. Lions: Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon

57. Bills: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

58. Seahawks: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

59. Steelers: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

60. Commanders: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

61. Buccaneers: Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia

62. Texans: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ole Miss

63. Bills (via Vikings): Howard Cross III, DL, Notre Dame

64. Chiefs: Nazir Stackhouse, DL, Georgia
