The NFL Draft begins in just two days, which makes this the final edition of my mock drafts for 2025. Three QBs, three RBs, and three WRs are selected. The Chiefs solidify a long-standing need, the Ravens’ run game gets stronger, and the Super Bowl Champions stick with what works.
Give me a follow on X at JLSports24 where I will post my final Top-50 prospects, draft crushes, and much more content throughout draft weekend.
Also, Blitz Sports Media will be hosting a Live Draft Stream Thursday night during the first round. In-depth analysis, live hits from the draft in Green Bay, and special guest appearances from our team reporters.
No surprise here as the Titans QB room is wide open for Cam Ward to take over as the leader of the franchise.
Travis Hunter will bring juice to the Browns’ offense, which they desperately need. He’s also expected to contribute on defense as the most promising two-way prospect the modern NFL has ever seen.
Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were insurance policies in case the Browns drafted Sanders. The Giants’ HC and GM hitch their future to the Colorado star.
The Patriots may try to move this pick, but ultimately elect to stay and select Carter, who is the best defensive player in the draft.
Mason Graham solidifies the center of the Jaguars’ defense.
The Raiders’ new identity is established with the first draft pick of the new regime. Ashton Jeanty is a true bell-cow running back who becomes the focal point of a classic Pete Carroll power run game.
Armand Membou will help the Jets establish a run game while giving new QB Justin Fields the support he needs to succeed.
Jalon Walker gives the Panthers a true game changer who will be the heartbeat of the defense for years to come.
The Saints have done their homework on Jaxson Dart. Derek Carr’s injury gives them a legitimate reason to draft him to be the QB of the future.
Mike Green’s character concerns are a major question, but the talent is undeniable. The Bears draft the uber-talented edge defender to continue to fortify their trenches.
The 49ers get great value at #11 with Will Campbell. He will help re-establish the run game they’re known for while protecting their salary cap darling-to-be, Brock Purdy.
Tetairoa McMillan gives Cowboys QB Dak Prescott a dependable #2 receiver who complements CeeDee Lamb well.
The Dolphins elect to pick the best player available. Malaki Starks is an instinct-driven menace in the secondary who immediately makes the defense better.
The Colts are looking for any way to help their struggling quarterback situation and improve their offense. Tyler Warren is a QB-friendly pass catcher who also helps in the run game as an effective blocker.
The Falcons have a lot of defensive needs, but they select Matthew Golden, who gives Michael Penix Jr. a deep threat to match his incredibly powerful arm.
The Cardinals are a beneficiary of the over-drafted QBs. They land a top-15 talent in Will Johnson, who is an immediate starter and game-changer.
With a bevy of defensive needs, the Bengals elect to take the best player available in Walter Nolen, whose explosion and disruption will be an asset anywhere along the defensive line.
The Seahawks have many needs along the offensive line. Grey Zabel’s versatility allows them to plug him in anywhere and put their five best players on the field.
As a highly productive collegiate player, Ezeiruaku fits what the Buccaneers look for in prospects, while filling their need for a dominant pass rusher.
Denver Head Coach Sean Payton is no stranger to first-round running backs, having drafted two of them in New Orleans. Hampton solidifies the Broncos’ backfield as the true bell cow back.
Kenneth Grant helps plug the center of the Steelers’ defensive line and gives them an heir-apparent to the 36-year-old Cam Heyward.
Many believe Colston Loveland is one of the few blue-chip players of this draft class. In this case, he falls right into the Chargers’ lap, who are in the market for a reliable pass catcher.
The Packers have a need at corner and love athletic, big-school defenders in the first round. Jahdae Barron is a perfect fit.
With only four picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Vikings will need to make them count to become a true contender. Adding TreVeyon Henderson adds another home run hitter to an already explosive offense.
The Texans had a mass exodus on the offensive line and have many holes to fill. Kelvin Banks Jr. is a day one starter who can play tackle or guard and protect C.J. Stroud for years to come.
Jihaad Campbell is a versatile playmaker who steps in to make an immediate impact on the Rams’ defense.
The Ravens fill a hole at guard while doubling down on their strength. Tyler Booker is a mauler who improves an already dominant power run game.
Shemar Stewart blew up the combine but doesn’t have the production to match. The Lions are just looking for a disruptor to play opposite Aidan Hutchinson and find it in the Texas A&M product.
Mykel Williams played through an ankle injury in 2024, which hindered his tape and production. That toughness will impress the Commanders’ brass as his best football is ahead of him.
Derrick Harmon is a massive, disruptive force who can get after the QB and stop the run for the Bills defense.
Many regard Josh Simmons as the best pure LT in this class. A patellar tendon injury cost him most of 2024, which is why he falls this far in the draft. The Chiefs get a steal and their LT of the future, once healthy.
Nic Scourton gives the Eagles another versatile defensive lineman who can rush the passer and set the edge in the run game.
