The Chicago Bears are well on their way toward another Top 10 pick after their most recent loss, this time at the hands of the New England Patriots.
With the Bears record sitting at 4-5 and the league’s most difficult remaining schedule left, it’s time to start looking toward the NFL Draft. Will they address the offensive line? Who will be the first QB off the board?
Let’s get to our latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: CB/WR Travis Hunter – Colorado
The Jaguars have a lot of holes to fill, but the most glaring one might be at the cornerback position. Travis Hunter can play corner OR receiver and do it at an elite level. The closer we get to the NFL Draft, the more he looks like the top prize come April.
2. New York Giants: QB Shedeur Sanders – Colorado
The Giants finally get their quarterback of the future. Shedeur Sanders is having an outstanding year for the Buffaloes and might be even more valuable than Hunter at this point. New York needs a QB desperately and they get it here at 2nd Overall.
3. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward – Miami
Just two years after drafting Will Levis, the Titans head back to the drawing board with Cam Ward. Ward’s stock has risen quickly thanks to the big numbers he’s putting up at Miami, and it’s likely going to make him the second quarterback off the board after Sanders.
4. Cleveland Browns: WR Tetairoa McMillan – Arizona
Cleveland needs a quarterback, but in this mock, they miss out on Sanders and Cam Ward, and it might be too early to go with Quinn Ewers or Jalen Milroe. After QB, wide receiver might be their biggest need and Tetairoa McMillan is the top option in this draft.
5. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Jalen Milroe – Alabama
While I think the Browns will go with the top wide receiver in the draft instead of reaching for a QB, the Raiders feel like a team that will reach for a QB who has the electrifying skillset of Milroe. We’re still not certain he’s a polished enough passer for the NFL, but he’s certainly got all the tools and is an incredible athlete. He seems like a perfect Raiders reach pick.
6. New England Patriots: OT Will Campbell – LSU
The Patriots have a rookie quarterback they like, and now it’s time to help him out. The receiver room isn’t great in New England, but it’s young and growing together. They need help up front and Will Campbell is the best option there. The Patriots draft Drake Maye’s protector to begin building up their offensive line.
7. New Orleans Saints: DL Mason Graham – Michigan
New Orleans needs help all along the defensive line (and really across a lot of the roster). While drafting an EDGE might be a little bit flashier, Graham is probably the best DL prospect in the draft, and the Saints’ roster is at a point where they need to go with the best player available.
8. New York Jets: EDGE Abdul Carter – Penn State
I think we’re going to see the order of the edge rushers selected change quite a bit over the months leading up to the NFL Draft. The Jets need help on the edge especially with the Haason Reddick trade not working out. The top edge rusher taken off the board could change when April rolls around, but right now, I think it’s Abdul Carter.
9. Carolina Panthers: EDGE James Pearce Jr – Tennessee
I think I might be higher on Pearce Jr in this draft, but I truly think he has the highest ceiling of any of the edge rushers. He had a bit of a slower start this season, but he’s starting to show off just how good he can be. Tennessee has a massive game against Georgia on Saturday, and a big performance from him could help him rise up some draft boards.
10. Miami Dolphins: CB Will Johnson – Michigan
Offensive line might be the slightly bigger need here, but corner is a need for the Dolphins as well and Will Johnson looks like the best one in this draft. Johnson has missed a few games with an injury so he might see his draft stock drop a touch, and if he’s sitting at 10 with Miami on the clock I’m not sure they can pass up on him.
11. Dallas Cowboys: RB Ashton Jeanty – Boise State
Should Jerry Jones take a running back here? Probably not. Would he? Absolutely. Jeanty is a very good running back, and he might be the best player available at this point. But Dallas has a ton of holes in their roster that need filling. Having said that, the Cowboys ground attack has been brutal this year and Jeanty can help. Jerry Jones is always a wild card, but if given the chance to grab Jeanty, I think he’ll do it.
12. Indianapolis Colts: CB Benjamin Morrison – Notre Dame
Morrison was lost for the season after hip surgery, but he’s going to be healthy by draft time and he’s still an elite prospect at the cornerback position. The Colts have a glaring need in the secondary, and Morrison would be a great start in solidifying that unit.
13. Cincinnati Bengals: OT Kelvin Banks Jr. – Texas
The Bengals must address needs on both the offensive and defensive line. While one could argue the defensive line is the bigger need, Banks is too talented to pass up at this point and he fills a huge need too. If Cincinnati can solidify their trenches they can get right back into contention in the AFC, and they make a move here to start doing just that.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: EDGE Nic Scourton – Texas A&M
Tampa needs to add on the edge defensively, and Scourton is the total package. He can get after the quarterback, he can stop the run, and has a high motor. While he might not have the freak athleticism of someone like James Pearce Jr, Scourton is a monster and feels like his floor is very high.
15. Seattle Seahawks: OT Aireontae Ersery – Minnesota
Ersery might need a little development, but he’s got the size, strength, and ability to be a good tackle in the NFL. Charles Cross is a fine option for Seattle at left tackle, but the rest of the offensive line can be upgraded. Ersery at 14 might be a reach, but the Seahawks need to improve along that OL.
16. Los Angeles Rams: S Malaki Starks – Georgia
The Rams have done a nice job beginning to rebuild their defense after the loss of Aaron Donald, and they’re showing some promise on the defensive line. The secondary should probably be the new point of emphasis for them, and drafting Georgia defensive players usually turns out just fine.
17. Chicago Bears: G Tyler Booker – Alabama
Usually, you don’t want to take an interior offensive lineman this early in the draft, but at this point, Chicago’s hands are tied. The roster is still pretty solid, but the offensive line has gone from a red flag to sirens blaring. It’s the first, second, and third most important issue for General Manager Ryan Poles to address in the offseason, and Tyler Booker would be a great start.
18. San Francisco 49ers: EDGE Mykel Williams – Georgia
The 49ers have a solid defense, but getting another player to go get the quarterback opposite of Nick Bosa would be a welcome addition. Georgia’s defense is always outstanding, and their players are usually safe picks. Williams would be a perfect fit to come in on day one and be a consistent compliment to Bosa on that defensive line.
19. Denver Broncos: WR Luther Burden III – Missouri
Denver has done a nice job of rebuilding its roster, and Luther Burden III would give them a chance to further that by giving their young quarterback an explosive weapon with big-play ability and high-end speed. Burden feels like someone Sean Payton would love to deploy in his offense.
20. Houston Texans: DL Kenneth Grant – Michigan
Though they are good on the edge, Houston has needs to fill out in the middle of its DL. Kenneth Grant provides a big body in the middle that will demand double teams and help clog up running lanes. He’d be a great start in filling out their defensive line.
21. Atlanta Falcons: EDGE Jalon Walker – Georgia
The Falcons need some help on the edge getting to the quarterback and Jalon Walker can fill that void. He’s versatile on defense and can play in a few different spots. Staying in the state of Georgia and playing on Raheem Morris’ defense feels like a good fit.
22. Arizona Cardinals: DL Deone Walker – Kentucky
Walker would provide the Cardinals some much-needed size and strength in the middle of that defensive line. They could stand to beef up a few positions defensively, but with how the board has played out Walker would be a smart and safe pick to help sure up the trenches on defense.
23. Los Angeles Chargers: TE Colston Loveland – Michigan
Jim Harbaugh’s offenses are always at their best with a great tight end. Right now, that’s a bit of a hole in their roster. Loveland is the top tight end in college football, Harbaugh is very familiar with him from their days together at Michigan. This pick feels like it would make a lot of sense and fill a need for the Chargers on offense.
24. Green Bay Packers: CB Shavon Revel Jr. – East Carolina
The Packers have a need in the secondary and while Shavon Revel Jr. might need a little development, he’s got the size and the tools to be a good cornerback in the NFL. While there are a few different directions Green Bay could go, I think the secondary would be the way to go in this scenario.
25. Washington Commanders: EDGE Jack Sawyer – Ohio State
Washington has been the story of the NFL so far this season, but the Commanders aren’t quite a finished product yet. They need to add a tackle or two on offense, and they need some help getting to the quarterback on defense. Sawyer would provide Dan Quinn’s defense help right away and a player he can deploy in a few different spots.
26. Baltimore Ravens: OL Jonah Savaiinaea – Arizona
Savaiinaea has played both tackle spots for Arizona and really can play just about anywhere on the line except for center. Ronnie Stanley’s deal is up for the Ravens after this year and his future is uncertain. Their interior OL can use some help. Savaiinaea would address the Ravens’ needs upfront and allow them to deploy him where they see fit.
27. Pittsburgh Steelers: WR Isaiah Bond – Texas
This would be a little out-of-character pick for Pittsburgh who usually likes to build from the inside out, but if this is how the draft board shakes out, Bond would be an explosive addition to an offense that can use another weapon in the receiver room.
28. Minnesota Vikings: CB Denzel Burke – Ohio State
While Minnesota’s defense has been good this year, cornerback will be a spot to make an addition this offseason. Stephon Gilmore is up there in age and on a one-year deal. Burke would be a solid fit in that secondary and help give them a long-term answer at cornerback.
29. Philadelphia Eagles: LB Jihaad Campbell – Alabama
Campbell is listed as a linebacker and plays there mostly, but he’s capable of moving out to the edge as well. He’s an explosive defender who can get after the passer, stop the run, and would be able to do just about whatever Vic Fangio asks him to. Look for Campbell to rise up draft boards as the season continues.
30. Buffalo Bills: EDGE Harold Perkins Jr – LSU
Perkins had an unreal freshman year, but after that, LSU used him in some very strange ways and now he’s sidelined for the season with a knee injury. While the consistency hasn’t been there since that outstanding freshman year, the ceiling is most certainly there with Perkins and worth taking a shot on for a team like Buffalo.
31. Detroit Lions: EDGE J.T. Tuimoloau – Ohio State
Tuimoloau was a fringe first-round prospect last year but opted to go back to school for one more season. While Jack Sawyer gets a lot of the publicity, Tuimoloau is a good player as well and would be a good fit opposite Aidan Hutchinson once he comes back next season.
32. Kansas City Chiefs: OT Cameron Williams – Texas
While the Chiefs don’t have many holes, adding a tackle would be one of the few to address. Defensively they’ve been great this year, but they can do a little bit better of a job protecting Patrick Mahomes, and going with a first-round tackle from one of the better OLs in college football would be a start.
