We are one step closer to the Super Bowl and that means six more teams have had their draft positions solidified for 2025. Let’s check out another 2025 NFL mock draft as we inch closer to the offseason.
2025 NFL Mock Draft
Picks 19-24 are now set as the Bucs, Broncos, Steelers, Chargers, Packers, and Vikings now know where they will be drafting in round 1. Let’s look at another 2025 NFL mock draft including a trade as the Raiders move up to no. 2 to take Shedeur Sanders.
1. Titans – Cam Ward (QB, Miami FL)
As scouts continue to debate between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, it looks like Sanders is seeing his stock slipping a little bit which helps Ward land at no. 1. The Titans need help at a lot of places but they need to get their quarterback situation in order after watching Will Levis really struggle in 2024. Ward has a great pocket presence and improved his decision-making in 2024.
2. *Raiders – Shedeur Sanders (QB, Colorado)
*Trade with Browns
The Browns need a quarterback but could use that as trade bait and we see them convincing the Raiders that Sanders or Ward will not be available by no. 6. The Raiders trade up and land Shedeur Sanders to get their quarterback of the future. Opinions vary on Sanders but he has shown lots of potential over the last two seasons at Colorado. If they don’t end up trading, the Raiders would likely snag Abdul Carter at no. 6 to boost their pass rush.
3. Giants – Travis Hunter (WR/CB, Colorado)
The Giants need help at a lot of positions including quarterback, wide receiver, and cornerback. They might not pull the trigger on a trade to move up just one spot to get a quarterback. With Sanders and Ward off the board, New York gets the most talented player in the draft in Travis Hunter who can help immediately at wide receiver or in the secondary.
4. Patriots – Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT, Texas)
The Patriots need to build a strong offensive line around young quarterback Drake Maye and they will definitely be looking to add a talented tackle like Kelvin Banks Jr. at number 4 overall. After a year of injuries and inconsistent play on their line, the Pats need to add talent and depth quickly in the draft.

5. Jaguars – Will Johnson (CB, Michigan)
The Jaguars need a boost in their secondary as several players are hitting contract years in 2025. Will Johnson is an elite corner with the ability to shut down top wideouts. While he was hurt most of the 2024 season, we saw what he could do in 2023 when he helped Michigan win a national title. He’s long (6’2″) and has the athletic ability to match up with anyone.
6. *Browns – Mason Graham (DT, Michigan)
*Trade with Raiders
We can see the Browns dealing with the Raiders and scoring a couple more draft picks to build some depth as they figure out what to do with the nightmare of a situation they have had with Deshaun Watson (achilles injuries, bad contract). They can add Mason Graham to boost the defensive line and pair him up with Myles Garrett. Graham is a run-stuffer and excels in rushing the quarterback too.
7. Jets – Abdul Carter (Edge, Penn State)
The Jets are also in quarterback limbo but they need help on the defensive line to give some help to Quinnen Williams. They can scoop up one of the top talents in the draft in Abdul Carter to give them another strong option in their pass rush.
8. Panthers – Tetairoa McMillan (WR, Arizona)
Bryce Young made huge strides down the stretch after getting benched early in the season. The Panthers add a big target in Tetairoa McMillan at no. 8 to give Young a huge boost heading into the 2025 season. McMillan is 6’5″ and could make an instant impact in Carolina.
9. Saints – Mykel Williams (Edge, Georgia)
The Saints struggled on both sides of the ball and ended up 5-12 with quarterback Derek Carr missing much of the season. The defense could use a boost when it comes to getting after the quarterback and the edge rusher class is strong for 2025. Mykel Williams is a top talent off the edge who is quick with active hands that help him easily slip off blocks.
10. Bears – Nic Scourton (Edge, Texas A&M)
The Bears have needs on the offensive line but they have some cap space in free agency to address their issues up front. This frees up the no. 10 pick to add a great edge rusher to get after the quarterback. Nic Scourton is a disruptive run defender who can also get to the quarterback in a lot of different ways.
11. 49ers – Josh Simmons (OT, Ohio State)
The 49ers need to build depth on both their defensive and offensive lines heading into 2025. Josh Simmons suffered an injury this fall but he is a top talent who has great quickness and feet. He has the tools to excel in multiple schemes and is a solid option for San Francisco at no. 11.
12. Cowboys – Ashton Jeanty (RB, Boise State)
The Cowboys need a running back as their run game in 2024 was awful. Ashton Jeanty is a top-5 talent in the draft and showed just how dominant he can be with 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns at Boise State in 2024. He is probably too good for the Cowboys to pass up.
13. Dolphins – Malaki Starks (S, Georgia)
The Dolphins will need to add depth everywhere in their secondary and they could add the best safety in the draft in Malaki Starks here. Starks has played all over the field at Georgia and is an extremely versatile player with a great football IQ. He has the tools to be an immediate impact player for Miami.
14. Colts – Benjamin Morrison (CB, Notre Dame)
The Colts are in need of a reliable press cover man on the outside so they go with Benjamin Morrison here. Morrison is tough and very physical which matches up well with just about any receiver. He has good timing and will be a huge boost for Indy in the secondary.
15. Falcons – James Pearce Jr. (Edge, Tennessee)
The Falcons are losing a few pass rushers to free agency and will need to replace them early in the draft. James Pearce Jr. is an elite talent and at one point was in consideration as being the top player in the entire class. The Falcons were sixth worst in the NFL in pass rush win rate. They also haven’t had a double-digit sack defender since 2016.
16. Cardinals – Walter Nolen (DT, Ole Miss)
The Cardinals have plenty of decisions in free agency as pass rushers like Dennis Gardeck, Baron Browning, and Julian Okwara are set for free agency. The defensive front is going to need depth moving forward and Walter Nolen is good at slipping blocks to get into the backfield. He has great range and high motor that will be great in Arizona.
17. Bengals – Tyleik Williams (DT, Ohio State)
The Bengals have tons of work to do to upgrade their defense as it proved to be a weak point throughout the 2024 season. They would love to score great cornerback here but with players like Johnson and Morrison off the board, the Bengals add a boost to their interior defensive line. They scoop up a big interior run stuffer in Tyleik Williams from the Buckeyes.
18. Seahawks – Tyler Booker (OG, Alabama)
The Seahawks biggest question mark heading into 2025 is the offensive line. Recent draft picks have not performed well as Geno Smith has been beaten up over the last two seasons. Tyler Booker from Alabama adds a nice piece to the interior offensive line in Seattle.
19. Bucs – Jihaad Campbell (LB, Alabama)
The Bucs can add Jihaad Campbell at no. 19 to give them a linebacker with great range and instincts. He can also rush off the edge and will be a great three-down option for the Bucs who might not have Lavonte David in 2025 as he mulls his future with the team.
20. Broncos – Tyler Warren (TE, Penn State)
The Broncos will be looking to add weapons as they continue to develop quarterback Bo Nix who helped them reach the playoffs in 2024. Tyler Warren is a smooth route runner and a huge target that will be a nice addition for Bo Nix and Sean Payton in Denver.
21. Steelers – Shavon Revel Jr. (CB, ECU)
The Steelers need to find another option in the secondary to team up with Joey Porter Jr. While Shavon Revel Jr. is coming off an ACL injury, his tape is excellent showing great athleticism and length which helps him match up with just about anyone.
22. Chargers – Colston Loveland (TE, Michigan)
The Chargers were embarrassed in the Wild Card round by the Texans and were left searching for answers on offense. Jim Harbaugh would love to add a big target on offense and he can get his former player Colston Loveland from Michigan to give Justin Herbert a strong option at tight end.
23. Packers – Jahdae Barron (CB, Texas)
Cornerback is high on the Packers’ list of needs as we saw Jaire Alexander deal with injuries this year and Eric Stokes is headed for free agency. Jahdae Barron is the best available cornerback here and he can cover in the slot as well as on the outside which would be a huge boost for the Packers.
24. Vikings – Donovan Jackson (OG, Ohio State)
The Vikings would love to add a cornerback here as their secondary will take a hit during free agency. With several top options gone by no. 24, they can address their interior offensive line with Donovan Jackson from Ohio State. Minnesota has a huge offseason ahead of them.
25. Texans – Derrick Harmon (DT, Oregon)
The Texans need help on the interior offensive line but they will likely be too late in the draft for players like Tyler Booker and Donovan Jackson. They pivot at no. 25 to add Derrick Harmon as a versatile defensive lineman. He is quick and strong which will be helpful in stopping the run in Houston.
26. Rams – Josh Conerly Jr. (OT, Oregon)
If a tight end like Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland is available here, the Rams would likely scoop him up. It doesn’t look like that is the case and the Rams add another solid player on the offensive line with Josh Conerly Jr. from Oregon.
27. Commanders – Jalon Walker (Edge, Georgia)
For the Commanders, they will be thinking about adding to their pass rush and go with the best edge rusher or defensive tackle available at no. 27. Jalon Walker from Georgia is a top-15 talent and would be a nice addition in Washington as he could provide an immediate boost to the pass rush.
28. Ravens – Will Campbell (OT, LSU)
The Ravens play a physical style of football and it makes sense they will add more depth to their offensive line at the end of the first round. Will Campbell is a safe pick here that adds a boost to the offensive line for Baltimore.
29. Bills – Nick Emmanwori (S, South Carolina)
There are a lot of routes the Bills could end up going here depending on how the first round shakes out. They definitely need help in the secondary and Nick Emmanwori would be a huge help to the unit. Emmanwori is a versatile safety with size, length, and plenty of range.
30. Eagles – Jared Ivey (Edge, Ole Miss)
The Eagles would love to add depth to their pass rush late in the first round and they are in luck as this draft has plenty of options off the edge. They could go with someone like Jared Ivey or Shemar Turner here.
31. Chiefs – Kenneth Grant (DT, Michigan)
The Chiefs are losing depth on their defensive line to free agency with guys like Tershawn Wharton, Derrick Nnadi, and Josh Uche set for free agency. They could look to address the interior defensive line here specifically with Kenneth Grant from Michigan.
32. Lions – Shemar Turner (Edge, Texas A&M)
The Lions need another edge rusher to complement Aidan Hutchinson on the outside. This was made very clear when the Lions lost Hutchinson for the season back in week 6. You can expect Detroit to be looking at the best available edge rusher at the end of the first round. That would be Shemar Turner from Texas A&M.
