Round 1

1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB, Miami FL

The glaringly obvious choice at number one. The Titans need a new starting quarterback and Ward is well above the rest of this class. Ward’s name will be the first one announced later this week.

2. Cleveland Browns – Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado             

Abdul Carter is the better fit on this roster because Hunter is a better cornerback than wide receiver, but his game doesn’t translate to the nickel spot. With Emerson and Ward already on the outside, Hunter will need to play some nickel for the Browns. The dream of Carter and Myles Garrett rushing the passer on opposite ends of the line is laid to rest though. The Browns front office desperately want Hunter’s ability to play on both side of the ball. Hunter will get a ton of reps at wide receiver in Cleveland.

3. New York Giants – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

If the Browns took Abdul Carter at two, the Giants would absolutely be selecting Travis Hunter here. With Hunter off the board, the decision comes down to Carter or Shedeur Sanders. The Giants currently have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux occupying the outside linebacker spots. The need for a long-term quarterback is greater than a third star edge rusher, so the Giants reach for Sanders.

4. New England Patriots – Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Mike Vrabel can start celebrating as the new head coach of the Patriots. Abdul Carter falls right into his team’s lap and there is a new star pass rusher in New England for many years to come. The Patriots have not had an edge rusher of this quality in quite some time. This is potentially a major step towards turning the corner and once again becoming a competitive franchise.

5. New York Jets (mock trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars) – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Based on the team needs for the Jaguars, they likely don’t love the spot here at five and decide to trade down to buy more time. By only moving up two spots, the Jets likely only give up a future draft pick and keep their assets in this draft. They are able to lock down the best defensive tackle in this class as they look to build in the trenches with explosiveness.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

There is a strong possibility that Mason Graham was on the Raiders radar. After the Jets jumped ahead to secure his services, this pick should be even more obvious. The Raiders desperately need a starting running back who can carry a heavy workload. Jeanty is the shining star of this class at the position and will become a best-selling Raiders jersey quickly. It’s not often that a running back gets picked this early but Jeanty isn’t an ordinary running back.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars (mock trade with the New York Jets) – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

After dropping back to pick seven, the Jaguars are able to secure a new starting tight end. Warren was dominant at Penn State and should instantly become a top 10 or 15 tight end in the league. With Evan Engram now in Denver, Trevor Lawrence will be happy to have a new target at this position.

8. Carolina Panthers – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Bryce Young started to find a bit of a rhythm at the end of the 2024 season. With Young potentially emerging as a legitimate NFL starting quarterback, getting him another receiving target seems important. McMillan’s long frame will provide a totally different dimension to Carolina’s receiver room.

9. New Orleans Saints – Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Taliese Fuaga was a natural right tackle in college and should be aligned there for the Saints. Drafting Campbell to play left tackle should secure both sides of the offensive line for New Orleans. Now the Saints can start to think about their future at quarterback.

10. Chicago Bears – Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

The Bears probably would have been selecting Will Campbell at 10, but with him headed to New Orleans, Chicago turns to the interior of the offensive line. Tyler Booker’s massive frame should help open up space in the run game and also assist in keeping Caleb Williams upright.

11. San Francisco 49ers – Kenneth Grant, NT, Michigan

The San Francisco 49ers took a major step backwards last season and need a strong draft to get back on track. A big, physical nose tackle in the middle of their defensive line will certainly help.

12. Dallas Cowboys – Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

The Cowboys had an awful running back room in 2024, but it already looks way different a few months later. The additions of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders are intriguing, yet Dallas shouldn’t be content with just these two. Hampton’s upside makes it clear that he will be the second running back selected. However, there should be questions about his ability to produce like a round one running back in the NFL. Regardless, the Cowboys make some progress in the run game with their trio.

13. Miami Dolphins – Nick Emmanwori, SAF, South Carolina

The biggest need for the Miami Dolphins is a new safety. Acquiring the top safety in the class feels like an important move for the Dolphins.

14. Indianapolis Colts – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Johnson could have easily been a top 10 pick just two months ago. His stock has fallen a bit, but it shouldn’t be enough to drop out of the first round. The Colts need a cornerback as they look to strengthen the defense and Johnson is the number two at the position in this class. Johnson should align well as he stays in the Midwest.

15. Atlanta Falcons – James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

The Falcons need to find a way to pressure the quarterback next season. Adding a fast edge rusher with natural ability in a 3-4 scheme makes a lot of sense.

16. Arizona Cardinals – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Paris Johnson Jr. is the rock at left tackle, yet the Cardinals could use some right tackle help. Banks has the ability to switch over to the right side and may even be better suited for that spot. Giving Kyler Murray time should help his connections with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride.

17. Cincinnati Bengals – Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State

Former Ohio State defensive end, Sam Hubbard, announced his retirement this offseason. What better way to replace him than by bringing in another Ohio State star? Sawyer is naturally built for a 4-3 scheme and should do very well remaining in the state of Ohio.

18. Seattle Seahawks – Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Harmon stays in the Northwest as a new member of the Seattle Seahawks. His size combined with athleticism should result in productivity early in his career.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Mike Evans is the top wide receiver in Tampa Bay, but with Chris Godwin’s recent injury history, this team could afford to get a true number two receiver. Golden is a different type of threat on the outside with a smaller frame but lots of speed. Baker Mayfield will like having a receiver that can stretch the field.

20. Denver Broncos – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

The Denver Broncos are headed in the right direction and outperformed their talent last season. As they look to take another leap in 2025, a starting running back would significantly help the offense. Johnson is an excellent runner with workhorse ability. The offense will be instantly better.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

The Steelers have a quarterback problem and will address that in the first round. Dart has the skills to potentially be a good starting quarterback and the fit with Pittsburgh makes a ton of sense.

22. Los Angeles Chargers – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

The Chargers need an Asante Samuel Jr. replacement and Barron is exactly that. He can align on the outside or at nickel, meaning his versatility will result in an early impact on defense.

23. Green Bay Packers – Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

The Packers run a 3-4 base defense and Stewart is the perfect 3-4 fit. He is a bigger edge rusher who will likely best align at defensive end in a 3-4. He likes to put his hand in the dirt and the Packers will appreciate that mentality.

24. Minnesota Vikings – Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia

The Vikings had a strong season last year, but don’t get fooled by their below average defense. Selecting a top safety like Starks is only a small step towards a much-improved unit. This should help them fill a major need.

25. Houston Texans – Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State

The Texans did a poor job of protecting C.J. Stroud last season and as a result, he regressed a bit from his stellar rookie season. Jackson, a former college teammate of Stroud, would really help strengthen the left side of the offensive line. He should start at left guard right away.

26. Los Angeles Rams – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Buckeyes go back-to-back as the Rams select Emeka Egbuka. Egbuka is the second-best wide receiver in this class and ends up being the third one selected. With Davante Adams and Puka Nacua on the outside, Egbuka should get a ton of favorable one-on-one matchups in the slot.

27. Baltimore Ravens – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Three Ohio State Buckeyes are selected in a row as the Ravens take Josh Simmons. Simmons is returning from a knee injury, but he is still the most talented of the offensive tackles in this class. The Ravens get a good one, who can play at left or right tackle.

28. Detroit Lions – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

The Lions have been incredible at hitting on their selections in recent times. That trend should continue as they strengthen their linebacker room with the best one in this class.

29. Washington Commanders – Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

The Commanders are a dangerous team, but their most glaring weakness is at defensive end. Without a prolific pass rusher, it will be harder to make a run at the Super Bowl. Walker should help on the edge and fill a major need.

30. Buffalo Bills – Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

The Bills need another defensive tackle in their rotation and Williams would be an excellent fit. Despite being a big body, Williams moves really well. He will pair well with Ed Oliver in the middle.

31. Kansas City Chiefs – Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

The Kansas City Chiefs fell just short of a three peat. As they regroup for a new season, they need to prioritize protecting Patrick Mahomes. Conerly will be an upgrade at tackle.

32. Philadelphia Eagles – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

The Eagles don’t have a ton of needs but they certainly could benefit from Burden falling to the end of the first round. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith are their star wide receivers, but the rest of the depth chart is fairly lackluster. Jahan Dotson has potential but has not produced in the league to the extent most would have expected. Burden should instantly grab the number three spot and get the nod in the slot just ahead of Dotson.

Round 2

33. Cleveland Browns – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

The Browns need to get back to running the ball with aggressiveness and regular success. Even if Nick Chubb returns to Cleveland, his days as the starter should be numbered. The Browns need to think about a one-two punch with Judkins and Ford with the potential of Chubb handling the short yardage and red zone work. Judkins will likely be productive in the NFL just as he was in college.

34. New York Giants – Andrew Makuba, SAF, Texas
35. Tennessee Titans – Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
36. Jacksonville Jaguars – Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
37. Las Vegas Raiders – Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
38. New England Patriots – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
39. Chicago Bears – Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
40. New Orleans Saints – Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
41. Chicago Bears – Brashard Smith, RB, SMU
42. New York Jets – Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
43. San Francisco 49ers – Mike Green, Edge, Marshall
44. Dallas Cowboys – Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
45. Indianapolis Colts – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
46. Atlanta Falcons – Xavier Watts, SAF, Notre Dame
47. Arizona Cardinals – T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
48. Miami Dolphins – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
49. Cincinnati Bengals – Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
50. Seattle Seahawks – Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
51. Denver Broncos – Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
52. Seattle Seahawks – Marcus Mbow, OG, Purdue
53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
54. Green Bay Packers – Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
55. Los Angeles Chargers – Jack Bech, WR, TCU
56. Buffalo Bills – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
57. Carolina Panthers – Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
58. Houston Texans – Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
59. Baltimore Ravens – Princely Umanmielen, Edge, Ole Miss
60. Detroit Lions – J.T. Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
61. Washington Commanders – Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
62. Buffalo Bills – Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
63. Kansas City Chiefs – Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
64. Philadelphia Eagles – Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State

Round 3

65. New York Giants – Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
66. Kansas City Chiefs – Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
67. Cleveland Browns – Will Howard, QB, Ohio State             

 Will Howard is the perfect fit for the Cleveland Browns. His attitude, leadership ability and focus would fit well in the locker room. Not only should he be able to quickly earn respect, but on the field, his size, intelligence and mobility add towards his potential as a quarterback in this league. Howard would pair well with Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco in the same room.

68. Las Vegas Raiders – Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
69. New England Patriots – Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia
70. Jacksonville Jaguars – Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
71. New Orleans Saints – Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
72. Chicago Bears – Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
73. New York Jets – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
74. Carolina Panthers – Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
75. San Francisco 49ers – Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
76. Dallas Cowboys – Charles Grant, OG, William & Mary
77. New England Patriots – Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami FL
78. Arizona Cardinals – Lathan Ransom, SAF, Ohio State
79. Houston Texans – Alfred Collins, NT, Texas
80. Indianapolis Colts – Jordan James, RB, Oregon
81. Cincinnati Bengals – Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
82. Seattle Seahawks – Grey Zabel, OT, North Dakota State
83. Pittsburgh Steelers – Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Oluwafemi Oladejo, LB, UCLA
85. Denver Broncos – Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
86. Los Angeles Chargers – Deone Walker, NT, Kentucky
87. Green Bay Packers – Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
88. Jacksonville Jaguars – Sebastian Castro, SAF, Iowa
89. Houston Texans – Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
90. Los Angeles Rams – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
91. Baltimore Ravens – Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia
92. Seattle Seahawks – Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
93. New Orleans Saints – Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
94. Cleveland Browns – Jonas Sanker, SAF, Virginia               

The Browns are a bit thin at safety on paper. Sanker is an excellent free safety with a willingness to make tackles all over the field and enough coverage skills to hold up in the NFL. He would offer the Browns valuable depth with the potential to even compete for a starting job. 

95. Kansas City Chiefs – Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
96. Philadelphia Eagles – David Walker, LB, Central Arkansas
97. Minnesota Vikings – Damien Martinez, RB, Miami FL
98. Miami Dolphins – Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
99. New York Giants – Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
100. San Francisco 49ers – Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee
101. Los Angeles Rams – Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami FL
102. Detroit Lions – Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Round 4

103. Tennessee Titans – Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers
104. Cleveland Browns – Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College     

Jack Conklin at right tackle and Dawand Jones at left tackle appears to be the direction for Cleveland in the near future. The Browns do need another tackle for depth at minimum. Trapilo is a tough right tackle who could play on the left side if needed. His demeanor as a run blocker would be appreciated by the coaching staff. 

105. New York Giants – Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
106. New England Patriots – Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
107. Jacksonville Jaguars – Que Robinson, LB, Alabama
108. Las Vegas Raiders – Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
