FINAL 2025 NFL MOCK DRAFT

The 2025 NFL Draft will be the 90th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held at Lambeau Field and its adjacent Titletown District in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 24–26, 2025.

Below is a projection for how the first day of the draft could unfold, along with a look at the top half of round two. Be sure to check back frequently to AAF for around the clock coverage of the 2025 NFL Draft!

ROUND 1

PICK | FRANCHISE | PLAYER | POSITION | SCHOOL

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami — The Titans can only hope that Ward works out as well as the last time they chose a quarterback No.1 overall in the late, great Steve McNair.

2. Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado — A wide receiver first role could be in store for the generational talent in Hunter. This still leaves quarterback a mystery.

3. New York Giants: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado — All indications are the pick will be Abdul Carter Jr. but GM Joe Schoen has not drafted a signal-caller in four years. The time is now.

4. New England Patriots: Abdul Carter Jr., ER, Penn State — In an unexpected twist, Carter Jr. falls into the laps of the Patriots, providing a foundational building block on defense.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan — Squeezing the explosive Graham in between the edge duo of Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen would be a lethal combination.

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State — Could Ashton Jeanty be to the Raiders what Marshawn Lynch was to the Seahawks under the watch of head coach Pete Carroll?

7. New York Jets: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri — Ensuring that new franchise quarterback Justin Fields has time to stand upright in the pocket would seem to be top priority for the Jets.

8. Carolina Panthers: Jalon Walker, ER, Georgia — The Panthers sorely lack a pass-rush presence and Walker can write the prescription to help cure all.

9. New Orleans Saints: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss — The sudden unknown status surrounding Derek Carr puts quarterback at the forefront of team needs for New Orleans.

10. Chicago Bears: Will Campbell, OT, LSU — This would be a dream scenario for Chicago who has revamped the interior of their offensive line. Campbell would solidify the unit.

11. San Francisco 49ers: Kevin Banks, OT, Texas — Too many squads are looking to add offensive tackles, so the 49ers ensure themselves of one early, as Banks can plug-and-play on Day 1.

12. Dallas Cowboys: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan — With the star appeal of Johnson, plus the help needed in the secondary makes Johnson a fit in Big D.

13. Miami Dolphins: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas — Welcome to Miami, where speed demons get put to good use. Barron is a one of the bonafide impact players in this draft.

14. Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State — Should Warren somehow manage to slide to the Colts, the front office will rejoice with glee.

15. Atlanta Falcons: Mykel Williams, ER, Georgia — The Falcons are well aware of the potential that the in-state product in Williams brings.

16. Arizona Cardinals: James Pearce Jr., ER, Tennessee — Few defensive minds would be able to maximize Pearce Jr. more than Jonathan Gannon.

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Mike Green, ER, Marshall — The Bengals have been one organization willing to roll the dice on questionable character prospects and Green is a premier talent.

18. Seattle Seahawks: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State — One of the more physical wideouts in the draft, Egbuka is a refined route runner that could fill the DK Metcalf void.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Walter Nolen, DT, Missouri — Taking on strong personalities inside the locker room is something that Bucs head coach Todd Bowles has a litte bit of experience with, Nolen could thrive in his scheme.

20. Denver Broncos: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina — Pairing the multidimensional Hampton with Bo Nix, could have Sean Payton reminiscing over the Drew Brees and Reggie Bush glory years.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama — It’s a supply and demand league where the early bird gets the worm. Nabbing Milroe could be a blessing in disguise as his upside is as high as any.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan — The word culture gets tossed around frequently but it’s something that Jim Harbaugh is building and Loveland is already familiar.

23. Green Bay Packers: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky — How the saga of Jaire Alexander unfolds, no one knows but the Packers are going to want to be prepared for all circumstances.

24. Minnesota Vikings: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia — To be able to slot Starks alongside Harrison Smith and eventually be his successor would be an excellent blue print.

25. Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State — This is likely to be the best offensive tackle available on the Texans board after they dealt Laremy Tunsil (Commanders) in the offseason.

26. Los Angeles Rams: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona — The free-falling McMillan lands in Hollywood, where he can help ill the void created by the departure of Cooper Kupp (Seahawks).

27. Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan — Based on the Ravens track record, Grant would fit the mold of beefing up the trenches and help solidify the defensive front.

28. Detroit Lions: Donovan Ezeiruaku, ER, Boston College — No one can predict for certain if Aidan Hutchinson will ever regain his original form. Adding the high-motor Ezeiruaku makes sense.

29. Washington Commanders: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon — The addition of Harmon under the watch of Dan Campbell would be a marriage made in heaven.

30. Buffalo Bills: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina — It’s hard to ignore the alluring traits of Emmanwori who brings a rare combination of size, speed and experience.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas — While offensive line mighy be the more pressing need, the appeal of adding the fastest player in the draft is too tempting to resist.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama — Building the offensive line depth is what the Eagles do and Booker would be a strong candidate to compete with Tyler Steen at guard.

PICK | FRANCHISE | PLAYER | POSITION | SCHOOL

33. Browns: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville (photo: Senior Bowl) — One would think that there will be competition added at quarterback amongst Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco.

34. Giants: Luther Burden, WR, Missouri — We could see the wideouts get pinched in the first round and a chance that we can see a tremendous talent such as Burden slide.

35. Titans: Grey Zabel, OG, North Dakota State — Need to protect the new face of the franchise and Zabel can step in at any position along the offensive line.

36. Jaguars: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss — The physicality and toughness of Amos to pair with Graham in round one would help change the identity of the Jaguars defense.

37. Raiders: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama — No one is certain just how much of a concern the recent torn labrum surgery will impact his draft status but Campbell would be a Day 2 steal.

38. Patriots: Josh Conerly, OT, Oregon — The Patriots still get a starting-caliber tackle in this dream-case scenario. Solidifying the trenches would be a major accomplishment.

39. Bears (via Panthers): TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State — Adding Henderson to the fray would elevate the Bears offense into the next dimension.

40. Saints: Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M — With the athletic testing that Stewart turned in, he could land inside the top of round one but the lack of production is a major concern.
