The 2024 NFL regular season is in the books, which means the order of the 2025 NFL Draft is set for non-playoff teams. With that in mind, let’s project all 32 first-round picks with our latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
1. Tennessee Titans – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Titans won’t get their rebuild on track until they figure out the quarterback position. Following two stellar seasons at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders has positioned himself to be the top overall pick — just like his dad said he would be more than a year ago.
2. Cleveland Browns – Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
While Drew Allar has publicly committed to returning to Happy Valley for his senior season, there’s been some buzz that Penn State’s run in the College Football Playoff could change that. If that’s the case, the Browns could wind up solving their current quarterback conundrum with the former Mr. Ohio Football Award winner, who happened to grow up in nearby Medina.
3. New York Giants – Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
The Giants have already made it clear they’re prioritizing the quarterback position this offseason. Cam Ward has the type of tools that would mesh well with returning head coach Brian Daboll, and it’s easy to envision the Heisman Trophy finalist having an instant connection with Malik Nabers.
4. New England Patriots – Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Had the Patriots lost in Week 18, they would have been picking first, with most prognosticators pegging them to take either Travis Hunter or trade down. Instead, they get him at No. 4, giving their new head coach — probably Mike Vrabel — a dynamic weapon to use on either side of the ball.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
The Jaguars left the 2024 season with a new top weapon in Brian Thomas Jr., but now they need to get Trevor Lawrence more protection. Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr. has both the tools and experience to become an immediate cornerstone at left tackle.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
The Raiders’ roster has so many holes that you can make arguments for them to use their first-round pick on several different positions. Here they take best player available and a potential game-wrecker in Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham.
7. New York Jets – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Davante Adams will likely be one-and-done in New York, and there’s already uncertainty about Garrett Wilson’s future with Gang Green. This isn’t a loaded wide receiver class, but Tetairoa McMillan has already established himself as the top player at the position.
8. Carolina Panthers – Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
After trading Brian Burns, the Panthers tied the Titans for 30th in sacks this season with 32. The top pass-rusher in this year’s class, Abdul Carter would fill an immediate void on Carolina’s defense.
9. New Orleans Saints – Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
The Saints’ salary cap situation is such that a rebuild appears inevitable. Nic Scourton is the type of high upside pass-rusher who could provide New Orleans with a building block on defense.
10. Chicago Bears – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Bears spent last offseason getting Caleb Williams weapons, and now it’s imperative that they provide him with protection. A starter since his freshman season, Will Campbell has the versatility to play guard and will be in the conversation for the top offensive lineman taken in a loaded class at the position.
11. San Francisco 49ers – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
After transferring from San Diego State, Josh Simmons established himself as a future first-round pick in two seasons at Ohio State before suffering a season-ending knee injury against Oregon in October. In San Francisco, he makes sense as a potential long-term replacement for 36-year-old Trent Williams.
12. Dallas Cowboys – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Every year, there’s a potential fit for a prospect that makes so much sense that it seems to be in every mock draft. This year, that appears to be the Cowboys drafting Ashton Jeanty, who would provide an immediate boost to one of the league’s worst running back rooms.
13. Miami Dolphins – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Whether the Dolphins re-sign Jevon Holland or not, they need help at safety. The top player at the position in this year’s class, Malaki Starks could either play alongside Holland or help replace him.
14. Indianapolis Colts – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Cornerback stands out as one of the most glaring needs on the Colts’ defense. Will Johnson only played in six games in 2024, but he had already established himself as the top player at the position in the 2025 class.
15. Atlanta Falcons – Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
The Falcons ranked 31st in the NFL in sacks this past season — and that was after acquiring Matthew Judon, who is now set to become a free agent. A local product, Jalon Walker isn’t just a talented pass-rusher, but also a versatile player capable of starring at multiple positions.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
The Cardinals’ defense overperformed relative to its talent in 2024 but could stand to improve at every level. Mykel Williams possesses plenty of upside and could give Arizona the premier pass-rusher it currently lacks.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
At this point, the Bengals’ need to improve their defense is obvious. Once projected to be one of the top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, James Pearce Jr. saw his stock slide this past season, but would still make for an intriguing addition in Cincinnati — especially opposite Trey Hendrickson.
18. Seattle Seahawks – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Tyler Lockett has likely played his final game for the Seahawks and Noah Fant has never quite found his footing in Seattle. A top tight end like Michigan’s Colston Loveland would complement DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, regardless of who’s playing quarterback for the Seahawks.
19. Houston Texans – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Texans entered 2024 with arguably the NFL’s top wide receiving corps but lost both Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell to season-ending injuries. Luther Burden III is a dynamic and versatile playmaker who would add a unique dynamic alongside Nico Collins.
20. Denver Broncos – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Nobody loves versatile playmakers more than Sean Payton. Adding Tyler Warren wouldn’t only be beneficial for Bo Nix, but it could also potentially give Payton his Broncos version of Taysom Hill.
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M
Former first-round pick Calijah Kancey has been underwhelming during his first two seasons in Tampa Bay. At 6-foot-6 and 290 pounds, Shemar Stewart possesses the potential to be one of the biggest risers in this year’s draft, but hewould give the Buccaneers some much-needed reinforcements upfront should he fall out of the top 20.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka spent the entirety of his college career overshadowed by the likes of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jeremiah Smith. Still, the former 5-star prospect managed to become Ohio State’s all-time leader in receiving yards and would bring some much-needed stability to the Steelers’ wide receivers unit.
23. Los Angeles Rams – Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Benjamin Morrison entered 2024 challenging Will Johnson as the top cornerback in this year’s class, but he suffered a season-ending hip injury in October. Should he declare for the draft and his medicals check out, he could make for an intriguing prospect for a team like the Rams, who desperately need to get younger in their secondary.
24. Green Bay Packers – Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Like Morrison, Shavon Revel Jr. suffered a season-ending injury after establishing himself as a likely first-round pick. A rangy cornerback with strong ball skills, he would be an ideal replacement for Jaire Alexander, who will likely be a cap casualty in Green Bay this offseason.
25. Los Angeles Chargers – Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan
Poona Ford is scheduled to become a free agent, leaving the Chargers with a sizable void — literally and figuratively — in the middle of their defensive line. Here, Jim Harbaugh returns to his former school to fill it with 6-foot-3, 339-pound Kenneth Grant.
26. Washington Commanders – Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Isaiah Bond doesn’t currently project as a first-round pick for many, but it’s easy to envision his blazing speed changing that throughout the draft process. If that’s the case, he’d made a lot of sense in Washington as a deep threat for Jayden Daniels opposite Terry McLaurin.
27. Baltimore Ravens – Walter Nolan, DL, Ole Miss
The Ravens have built their defense over the years with versatile difference-makers. A former 5-star prospect with the ability to get after the quarterback and stop the run, Walter Nolan fits the bill.
28. Minnesota Vikings – T.J. Sanders, DL, South Carolina
The Vikings could stand to improve any of the three spots on their interior defensive line. South Carolina’s T.J. Sanders possesses all of the physical tools necessary to provide an immediate upgrade.
29. Buffalo Bills – Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon
The Bills don’t have an immediate need at defensive tackle, but picking this late gives teams the luxury of not needing to pick based on need. At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, Derrick Harmon could initially serve as a rotational piece before becoming a long-term running mate next to Ed Oliver.
30. Philadelphia Eagles – Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
Lane Johnson will be 35 when the 2025 season begins. After playing opposite Kelvin Banks Jr. in Austin, Cameron Williams could fit right in at right tackle in Philadelphia.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Chiefs’ salary cap situation has weakened their offensive line — especially at tackle. The reigning Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, Aireontae Ersery’s size (6-foot-6, 330 pounds) and talent are impossible to ignore
32. Detroit Lions – Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
The Lions are set at tackle but could stand to improve at guard. Donovan Jackson showed this past season he can play either and is the type of team-first player Dan Campbell would love to have in Detroit.
