2025 NFL Mock Draft: Giants Grab Shedeur Sanders, Bears Add Explosive EDGE ...Middle East

NFL Combine Week is here! That means after this weekend’s event in Indy, there’s a good chance we’ll see some risers and fallers on draft boards. Let’s run through another 2025 NFL Mock Draft prior to the Combine.

2025 NFL Mock Draft

1. Tennessee Titans: EDGE Abdul Carter – Penn State

What Tennessee will do with this pick remains the biggest story of the draft thus far. Will they take a quarterback? Will they trade back? Will they take a “generational” talent like Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter? Right now I think it’s Carter, but that can change at any time. He feels like a higher-floor pick than Hunter with a ceiling that’s just as high at a premier position.

2. Cleveland Browns: QB Cam Ward – Miami

With Deshaun Watson suffering another Achilles tear, Cleveland will likely take a shot on a quarterback here. I wouldn’t be stunned if, at some point in the process, another QB starts climbing draft boards, but as of now, it seems like the clear top two are Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. Whichever remains on the board at No. 2 is probably the pick for the Browns.

3. New York Giants: QB Shedeur Sanders – Colorado

The Giants finally get to draft their quarterback! If the Titans do opt to go a different direction with the top pick, it allows New York to finally get a crack at drafting a top QB. Shedeur Sanders might not be considered the level of prospect that Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye were last year, but he’s got a very impressive skillset that Brian Daboll would love to work with. Pairing him with Malik Nabers would be a nice start for a Giants offense that needs help.

4. New England Patriots: OT Will Campbell – LSU

The Pats most certainly need to add some help for Drake Maye, but they also need to protect him. While Travis Hunter is still on the board and has some insane talent, Mike Vrabel feels like the type of coach who knows that building a football team has to start in the trenches. Could they opt for Hunter here? Absolutely. But investing in protection for their second-year quarterback feels like a very realistic, if not likely option.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: DL Mason Graham – Michigan

I was hopeful that Mason Graham might fall to the Bears earlier in this process, and I saw that path, but I think the closer we get to draft day, the more he will climb boards and probably not fall out of the top 5-7 picks. He’s an elite interior DL prospect, and Jacksonville needs a lot of help in that area.

6. Las Vegas Raiders: CB/WR Travis Hunter – Colorado

Vegas needs a quarterback, and really they have quite a few holes to fill – cornerback included. At this point with the top two QBs off the board, Travis Hunter being available at sixth overall would be a dream scenario for Mark Davis and Tom Brady’s team. If he’s available at this spot, I’d be stunned to see Hunter fall any farther.

7. New York Jets: CB Will Johnson – Michigan

With Will Campbell off the board, do the Jets potentially reach on a different offensive lineman they love, or do they go with the best available at a different position? As of now, I think it’s the best player available in this type of situation. At this point, Will Johnson could be the most talented player on the board, and he also comes at a position of need, so he’s the pick here.

8. Carolina Panthers: EDGE/LB Jalon Walker – Georgia

I feel like we might get a better sense of where Carolina will go with this pick after the combine this weekend. I do think it will ultimately end up being whichever edge rusher they like best. Could it be the high-ceiling and elite traits of James Pearce Jr? That’s certainly possible. Jalon Walker also feels like a very realistic selection here. He can get after the quarterback, but also lineup in several different spots in the front seven and give the Panthers some options.

9. New Orleans Saints: OT Armand Membou – Missouri

The Saints need help in both of their trenches. With Kellen Moore taking over in New Orleans, it wouldn’t be difficult to see him taking his favorite offensive lineman at ninth overall. Membou is climbing up draft boards fast and for good reason. He had 30 starts in three seasons for Mizzou and played in 36 games total. What he lacks in size he makes up for in quickness, footwork, and ability to block in space. Whether he ends up at tackle or guard remains to be seen, but he should make an impact either way.

10. Chicago Bears: EDGE James Pearce Jr. – Tennessee

This pick is still a tough one to project. Obviously, we know the Bears need quite a bit of help on the offensive line. However, I also think they’ll be very aggressive there in free agency. If they add two or three potential starters, they could easily opt for an edge rusher here. James Pearce Jr.’s high ceiling playing opposite Montez Sweat could be a very tempting combination for Chicago to explore. The combine will be big for Pearce this weekend.

11. San Francisco 49ers: WR Tetairoa McMillan – Arizona

With the top two offensive linemen off the board and the depth at EDGE being what it is in this Draft, I could see the Niners grabbing McMillan if he falls here. Deebo Samuel appears to be on his way out of San Francisco. Brandon Aiyuk is coming off a brutal knee injury. Christian McCaffrey couldn’t stay healthy. The 49ers need weapons on offense, and McMillan could end up being the best one in the 2025 NFL Draft.

12. Dallas Cowboys: RB Ashton Jeanty – Boise State

Dallas has more significant needs than a running back, but as we’ve seen this year, the right one can make a huge difference. Jeanty is an excellent running back, and he’s probably the best player available at this point. It seems like most mock drafts are making this connection, but that’s for a good reason. 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.

13. Miami Dolphins: DL Kenneth Grant – Michigan

Miami needs to fill out both sides of its line of scrimmage. They need to get meanier, nastier, and tougher in the trenches. Kenneth Grant exudes all of those characteristics and can instantly upgrade a Dolphins defensive line that needs help, especially on the interior.

14. Indianapolis Colts: TE Tyler Warren – Penn State

The Colts have a big need in the secondary, and they could go that route with Malaki Starks or Benjamin Morrison here. However, they need to surround Anthony Richardson with as much help as possible and Tyler Warren can be just that. He can be a Swiss Army Knife for the Colts offense and help out in so many different ways. He’s an incredible playmaker and could be exactly the type of player Anthony Richardson needs.

15. Atlanta Falcons: EDGE Mike Green – Marshall

After Green’s dominant Senior Bowl performance and career at Marshall, I think he’s going to skyrocket up draft boards. Drafting a player this high from a Group of 5 school can be a risk, but Green did exactly what you’d want a player to do against lesser competition — dominate. He had 17 sacks last year as a redshirt sophomore and had 4.5 as a freshman. Atlanta needs help getting to the quarterback, and Green did that in a big way last year.

16. Arizona Cardinals – LB Jihaad Campbell – Alabama

The Cardinals will undoubtedly be looking to boost their defense, and Campbell can play on the edge or off the ball and be incredibly productive. He’s insanely explosive and has some freak-athlete traits, and I think he’ll be a quick riser as we get closer to April. The NFL Combine this weekend could be a jump-start to that rise.

17. Cincinnati Bengals: S Malaki Starks – Georgia

The Bengals defense was a s**t show this season, and that’s putting it kindly. They got an MVP-type effort from Joe Burrow but still missed the playoffs. They need to address that side of the ball in a big way. They could go multiple routes here, both along the defensive line or in the secondary, but if Malaki Starks were to fall here I think they’d run to the podium to get him. Their defense hasn’t been the same since letting Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell walk, and this could help them right that wrong.

18. Seattle Seahawks: OT Kelvin Banks Jr. – Texas

Seattle needs help along the O-Line and if Banks fell here, he could end up being a steal for them. Kelvin Banks Jr. is an interesting prospect to track in this year’s draft, and it seems like he has a very wide range of where he could end up. Some see him as the top offensive lineman in the draft, while others have 3-4 players ahead of him at his position. If he were a top-five pick I wouldn’t be stunned, and if he fell to the Seahawks at 18 that wouldn’t shock me either.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: EDGE Mykel Williams – Georgia

The Bucs have a few different routes they can take with this draft pick, including a potential trade-back. They could certainly stand to add a cornerback, but they also need help getting to the quarterback. Mykel Williams can help bolster the Bucs’ front seven, and his strong play against the run helps bump up his floor quite a bit.

20. Denver Broncos: TE Colston Loveland – Michigan

Look for Sean Payton to continue to try to surround Bo Nix with as much help as possible on offense. A young quarterback’s best friend is a good tight end, and Colston Loveland was just that for his entire career at Michigan. Adding him feels like a very nice fit in Sean Payton’s offense.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: WR Luther Burden III – Missouri

This would be a little out-of-character pick for Pittsburgh, which usually likes to build from the inside out. However, Luther Burden III had an outstanding career at Missouri and is a big play waiting to happen. He can come in on day one, significantly impact the Steelers’ offense, and be a weapon for whoever is playing QB in the Steel City next season.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: WR Emeka Egbuka – Ohio State

This pick feels like a bit of a wild card. I can see Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers going in a few different directions. I’ve had them adding to the defensive line here in the past few weeks, and given Harbaugh’s love for adding in the trenches that’s certainly an option. But it also might be time to get a little more help for Justin Herbert. Ladd McConkey was great last year, but the Chargers need more. Emeka Egbuka is an incredibly polished wide receiver. He can be a great addition to that offense from the jump.

23. Green Bay Packers: EDGE Shemar Stewart – Texas A&M

The two Texas A&M EDGE players in this draft will get picked for opposite reasons. Stewart has all the tools and traits any team would fall in love with, but he hasn’t quite proven it at the college level with his inability to stay on the field. Nic Scourton has done nothing but produce in college, but scouts don’t necessarily see his tools quite at the level of his high effort and energy level. Do the Packers want the higher ceiling or the higher floor if they go the EDGE route?

24. Minnesota Vikings: CB Benjamin Morrison – Notre Dame

While Minnesota’s defense was good this past year, cornerback could be a spot to make an addition this offseason. Stephon Gilmore is up there in age and on an expiring deal. As mentioned earlier, Morrison’s medicals at the combine will heavily impact where he gets drafted, but his ceiling gives him the potential to be a big-time steal at the back end of the first round.

25. Houston Texans: OL Tyler Booker – Alabama

Houston’s interior offensive line was one of their biggest issues this season, and that issue came back to bite them against the Chiefs in the Divisional Round. If Tyler Booker is here at 25th Overall, he feels like a perfect fit in Houston.

26. Los Angeles Rams: OT Josh Simmons – Ohio State

The Rams need to add to their offensive line this offseason, and Simmons is an option that can pay off in a big way. He was seen as the top tackle in this draft by some prior to the season, but a season-ending knee injury cost him the campaign. If he’s healthy, he can be a home run selection late in the first round.

27. Baltimore Ravens: OT Josh Conerly Jr. – Oregon

The Ravens are likely to let veteran tackle Ronnie Stanley walk in free agency which creates a void for them on their offensive line. They could go the EDGE route as well, but with this being a pretty deep draft at that position I could certainly see them grabbing their favorite tackle remaining at 27th overall.

28. Detroit Lions: EDGE Nic Scourton Jr. – Texas A&M

This pick feels like it will be used on whichever edge rusher Detroit has at the top of their board. I mentioned Nic Scourton earlier, and while he might not possess the elite traits some of the edge rushers in this draft have, he’s incredibly solid and has a high motor and effort level to go around with an all-around skill set. His ability to play both the run and the pass would go well on the opposite side of Aidan Hutchinson in Detroit.

29. Washington Commanders: CB Jahdae Barron – Texas

For as good of a season as Washington has had, they could stand to improve at a few different positions. They need help getting to the quarterback, and they also need help in their secondary. Jahdae Barron is a versatile corner who can give Dan Quinn options in how he’d like to deploy him. Whether that’s on the outside, at nickel, or as a safety at times, Barron can come in and help the Commanders’ defense however Quinn sees fit.

30. Buffalo Bills: DL Walter Nolen – Ole Miss

The Bills were one of the most fun teams in the NFL this season, however, if there’s a spot to get them it’s their run defense and ability in the defensive trenches. Their losses this season have highlighted some needs on defense, namely up the middle. Nolen can come in and provide some help there right away.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: OT Aireonte Ersery – Minnesota

While the Chiefs don’t have many holes, adding a tackle would be one of the few to address. Their tackles were dominated by Philly’s defensive line in the Super Bowl. They will need to do a little bit better job protecting Patrick Mahomes. Ersery might need a little development, but there’s no better place to develop than Kansas City.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: OL Grey Zabel – North Dakota St.

This pick likely will depend on which players the Eagles re-sign and who they lose to free agency. As it stands now, offensive lineman Mekhi Becton could be one of those players who hits it big as a free agent, so drafting his replacement here with a versatile rookie would seem pretty logical. Zabel played tackle in college and got reps as a center at the Senior Bowl. He can play any position along the OL and does it with a very physical and aggressive style.
