2025 NFL MOCK DRAFT (December Edition)
With so many developments transpiring across the football landscape since our last mock draft, we figured it would be a good time to re-examine what the first round could look like by time April arrives.
In terms of the draft process, best believe that NFL decision-makers will be keeping a keen eye on the NCAA conference championships this weekend. Then we enter ‘Bowl Season,’ which is unofficially the start of draft season, before we hit the all-star games. Next, will be the NFL Scouting Combine and those players not invited to Indy, will then get to perform during the pro day circuit.
All Access Football will be on location across the nation bringing you all that action with original content and exclusive analysis. It’s what we do.
A few house keeping notes before you get to the mock below. Anyone who saw the vicious cheap shot blow delivered to Trevor Lawrence during Sunday’s game understands that hit is not something to be taken lightly. We don’t know the status surrounding Lawrence, other than he took to Twitter last night to thank everyone who reached out.

We are not going to take it upon ourselves to determine any medical outcome and declare that the Jaguars will need to select a quarterback with the number one overall pick. Although, even with a healthy Lawrence, it shouldn’t be ruled out entirely.
One player who has skyrocketed up draft boards is Alabama enforcer Jihaad Campbell. The inside linebacker has been all over the field for the Crimson Tide this season, making big play after big play. He has peaked in this version of our mock at No.17 overall.
Another player making his first round mock draft debut is Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson. After a season-ending injury to teammate and fellow first round projection Josh Simmons, the versatile Jackson slid from left guard, to left tackle, seamlessly. The NFL scouting community has taken note.
Noticeably absent would be Alabama mauler Tyler Booker, who switched from tackle to guard earlier this season. While we had a tough time slotting him into the first round on this attempt, he would be our No.33 overall selection for Jacksonville in this scenario. Today, we kept it to the first 32 selections. Buckle up and enjoy …
Jacksonville Jaguars – Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado: Owning the No.1 pick for the third time in five years is not a distinction to be proud of but landing Hunter is a nice consolation.
Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado: Que the John Facenda voiceover for the Sanders highlight reel, as he leads the Silver and Black back to prominence.
New York Giants – Cam Ward, QB, Miami: While GM Joe Schoen was seen in Boulder eyeing Sanders last week, the G-Men may have to settle on Ward.
New England Patriots – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan: With the current roster intact, New England needs to stockpile as many blue-chip prospects as possible.
Carolina Panthers – James Pearce Jr., ER, Tennessee: The Panthers pass-rush has been non-existent, which comes to no surprise after dealing off Brian Burns.
New York Jets – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona: All business conducted over the past two years has been catered around Aaron Rodgers and that trend looks to continue.
Tennessee Titans – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan: A lockdown corner with size and speed, Johnson is an instant plug-and-play starter.
Cleveland Browns – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State: We have seen the premier running backs in the NFL make a significant impact around the league and Jeanty is next in line.
New Orleans Saints – Carson Beck, QB, Georgia: Massive changes are in order in New Orleans. The new regime could look to build around a fresh franchise quarterback.
Cincinnati Bengals – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri: They won’t be able to pay all their wideouts in Cincy, so adding the electrifying ‘LB3’ makes sense.
Chicago Bears – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia: Plugging the ballhawk Starks into the backend of the defense would help solidify the Bears up the middle.
Miami Dolphins – Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas: Keeping Tua Tagovailoa safe and upright should be a top priority and Banks Jr. provides a major reinforcement.
Dallas Cowboys – Abdul Carter, ER, Penn State: This would reunite Carter with former Penn State teammate Micah Parsons and create some positive vibes.
San Francisco 49ers – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State: The 49ers wide receiver room has been filled with contract disputes, trade rumors and injuries over the past few seasons.
Indianapolis Colts – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State: This is an immediate impact weapon to insert into the offense and a big, can’t miss target for Anthony RIchardson.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Mykel Williams, ER, Georgia: While the stats don’t jump off the page, Williams possesses prototype measureables and pedigree.
Los Angeles Rams – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama: The heart and soul of the Crimson Tide defense, Campbell is built as if he were shot out of a cannon.
Arizona Cardinals – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina: With the soon to be 29-year old Budda Baker slated to hit free agency, it may be in the cards to move onto Emmanwori.
Atlanta Falcons – Jalon Walker, ER, Georgia: Able to set the edge against the run, or get after the quarterback, Walker owns an explosive first step.
Denver Broncos – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State: An ascending prospect prior to his left knee injury, Simmons would be an ideal replacement for pending free agent Garrett Bolles.
Seattle Seahawks – Delane Mansoor, CB, Virginia Tech: When you think of the secondary players that Seattle likes to employ, the lengthy, scrappy Mansoor fits the bill.
Washington Commanders – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan: Nabbing a valuable safety valve such as Loveland for Jayden Daniels to operate underneath would be a plus.
Houston Texans – Tre Harris, WR, Mississippi: A big, fast, physical boundary target, Harris can replace Stefon Diggs who is not expected to return.
Baltimore Ravens – Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma: It’s rare to see a safety with small stature such as Bowman drafted this high but he would be the exception to the rule.
Los Angeles Chargers – Walter Nolan, DT, Ole Miss: Look for the Chargers to continue their philosophy of building from the inside-out.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota: Nothing like Pittsburgh adding another big-ugly in the trenches; Ersery and Broderick Jones as bookend tackles, whoah.
Green Bay Packers – Nic Scourton, ER, Texas A&M: The defense would benefit immensely from a steady, consistent pass-rush performer.
Minnesota Vikings – Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State: The in-season addition of Cam Robinson was a masterful trade but he will hit free agency after the year.
Philadelphia Eagles – KeAndre Lambert-Smith, WR, Auburn: It has been a revolving door at the slot position in Philadelphia with no means to end, until now.
Buffalo Bills – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas: A playmaker cornerback, Barron lacks size but compensates with smarts, quicks and instincts.
Kansas City Chiefs – Bradyn Swinson, ER, LSU: Somewhat of a one-year wonder, Swinson owns next level burst and has been a sack demon this season.
Detroit Lions – Donovan Jackson, OT, Ohio State: Able to play all five offensive line spots, Jackson has stepped in seamlessly from guard to tackle in place of Josh Simmons.
