2025 NFL Mock Draft – Round 1 (17-32) – Charlie Campbell

The Browns could use an impact player for the inside of their line.

Williams flashed interior rush ability in 2021 when he had five sacks and 16 tackles. In 2023, he played solid football, recording 54 tackles, three sacks and five passes defended. Williams (6-2, 290) made a number of impressive plays against Notre Dame, getting the better of left tackle Joe Alt.

The Cowboys could consider adding more long-term corner talent. DaRon Bland will be in the last year of his contract in 2025, and it could be tough for Dallas to afford both Bland and Trevon Diggs.

In 2023, Burke totaled 24 tackles, an interception and eight passes defended. He recorded 34 tackles and five breakups in 2022. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Burke has NFL size, but he has some technique issues that he needs to clean up.

The Falcons passed on edge-rush talent in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft to take Michael Penix Jr. Perhaps Zach Harrison or Bralen Trice will break out in 2023, but if not, Atlanta will need an edge rusher to go with Arnold Ebiketie.

Umanmielen played well for Floida in 2023, recording seven sacks and 39 tackles. He transferred to Ole Miss after the season. In 2022, he totaled 39 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Umanmielen totaled 3.5 sacks over the 2021 and 2020 seasons. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder has quality size with some speed and athleticism off the edge. He has shown improvement and growth as he has gained experience. Umanmielen still possesses upside to develop, so he could make a jump in 2024.

The Rams could look to add a true No. 1 corner for their defense from the 2025 NFL Draft.

Everette has a good skill set and a ton of upside to develop as he gains experience. In 2023, the sophomore corner played well for the Bulldogs, registering 29 tackles and five passes broken up. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder could take over as Georgia’s No. 1 corner in 2024.

By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets might be looking for tight end weapon.

Michigan had more experienced tight ends, but Loveland was so good that he forced his way onto the field. In 2023, he caught 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder is capable of producing more if he played in a passing offense. Loveland has the potential to be a riser.

Green Bay could consider adding more cornerback talent to go with Jaire Alexander.

Williams notched 30 tackles, one pass batted and three interceptions in 2023. As his experience grows, Williams (6-0, 182) could rise.

If Zyon McCollum doesn’t play well, the Bucs could be in the market for a true No. 1 corner after trading away Carlton Davis.

Hancock totaled 41 tackles, two forced fumbles, two sacks, two interceptions and four passes defended in 2023. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder possesses good size and upside.

The Texans could use some youth at linebacker.

Carter notched 49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, five passes defended and one interception in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder has quickness and upside to develop.

If Trenton Simpson doesn’t lock down a starting spot as a replacement for Patrick Queen, the Ravens could look for a linebacker to pair with Roquan Smith.

Stutsman (6-4, 241) is a tough linebacker for the Sooners, making a lot of tackles and some splash plays for his defense. In 2023, he totaled 104 tackles, three sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles and three passes defended. In 2022, he recorded 124 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and five passes broken up. Team sources said Stutsman is very athletic, very fast and very instinctive. They stated they felt he has good size and length, but lacks ideal strength and physicality. They called Stutsman a less strong, more finesse version of Pete Werner.

The 49ers grab some offensive line youth.

Banks played well as the starting left tackle for the Longhorns in 2023 and as a freshman in 2022. At 6-foot-4, 324 pounds, Banks has adequate size, but some might view him as having more of a guard-type body – depending on how long his arms are.

Christian Wilkins is in Las Vegas, and Miami needs an impact player to replace him.

It took time for Grant to work his way onto the field behind Kris Jenkins. However, Grant really flashed as a sophomore. In 2023, Grant put up 29 tackles, four passes batted, 3.5 sacks and an interception in backup duty. The 6-foot-3, 339-pounder has a good skill set with big-time upside.

The Bills could consider more offensive line help.

Greene was Georgia’s starter at left tackle in 2023 and played well. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder fits with some other Bulldogs left tackles who have not been typical edge protectors in terms of size, but he is strong and athletic.

If Jameson Williams has a breakout 2024 season for the Lions and they pick up his fifth-year option, they could opt to wait until Day 2 for a of the 2025 NFL Draft for a wide receiver. If Williams, however, does not produce more in his third season, the Lions will need another wideout to go with Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The 6-foot-4, 209-pound Anderson showed that he was just scratching the surface of his potential in 2023. As a redshirt freshman, Anderson caught 38 passes for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had a superb average of 21 yards per catch.

The Chiefs could be looking for a safety upgrade next April in the 2025 NFL Draft.

In 2023, Starks racked up 52 tackles, three interceptions and seven passes defended. He recorded 69 tackles, two picks and seven breakups in 2022. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder’s size gives him versatility.

Unless Nolan Smith breaks out, the Eagles need to find multiple young edge-rush talents.

The 6-foot-7, 280-pound Jackson is strong at the point of attack with good length to keep blockers from getting into his chest. In 2023, Jackson recorded 44 tackles, 6.5 sacks and a pass broken up. He has upside and could emerge as a nice prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Bengals could consider adding a safety upgrade. Their secondary has been without an impact player since losing Jesse Bates.

Styles has flashed real ability and a special skill set that could lead to him being a difference-making pro player. In 2023, he recorded 53 tackles, two sacks and one pass batted, plus he was very good in pass coverage. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder is a big safety who moves like a smaller player. He could turn into a special prospect prior to the 2025 NFL Draft.
