Mock draft central

There is never a shortage of scenarios to play out in the NFL Draft, so that is why Chris Trapasso and myself publish new mock drafts every week to account for the latest rumblings and opinions on the top prospects eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft. Each of our first-round mock drafts can be found, here.

Prospect rankings

The 2025 NFL Draft is loaded with offensive talent, particularly at the top. It is a talented, deep quarterback group, but the strengths in this class are offensive tackle, wide receiver and, potentially, cornerback. The weaknesses of this class are linebacker, defensive tackle and running back.

Here are the top 10 prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to CBS Sports:

1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

2. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

3. Will Johnson Jr., CB, Michigan

4. Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

5. Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.)

6. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

7. James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

8. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

9. Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
