First 2025 NFL Mock Draft

*** This was our original 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Many things have changed, but we had Will Campbell going to the Patriots at No. 4. Follow @walterfootball for NFL Draft updates. ***

Denver Broncos: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Bo Nix, QB

The Broncos are drafting Bo Nix in my 2024 NFL Mock Draft, but if they are so bad in 2024 that they land the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they’ll almost certainly repeat what the Cardinals did when Arizona gave up on Josh Rosen after one year by drafting Kyler Murray.

Shedeur Sanders has a high football IQ and great leadership skills. He doesn’t have a stellar arm, but it’s good enough for him to be a top-five pick.

New York Giants: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Malik Nabers, WR

The Giants may not be ready to draft a quarterback this year, but they certainly will be next April if they have the second-overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Carson Beck has a huge arm, plus size, and quality accuracy.

Arizona Cardinals: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Rome Odunze, WR; Chop Robinson, DE; Darius Robinson, DT

Arizona was always expected to pass on a quarterback in the early rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, but if Kyler Murray continues to suffer injuries, the Cardinals may not have a choice, especially if they have the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Drew Allar has a huge arm and a large frame, and he knows how to apply touch and throwing angles.

New England Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Drake Maye, QB

The Patriots will be drafting their new franchise quarterback at No. 3 overall this Thursday. Now, it’s time to protect him.

Will Campbell has average length, but is a nasty blocker.

Carolina Panthers: Harold Perkins, DE, LSU
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): None

Brian Burns is gone, so the Panthers will need to find a dominant pass rusher to replace him.

Harold Perkins is a beast who broke on to the scene with 7.5 sacks as a freshman. He’s an explosive player with tremendous instincts.

Tennessee Titans: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Joe Alt, OT

The Titans are going to give Will Levis a chance next year. If he fails, Tennessee could target a franchise quarterback at this spot.

Quinn Ewers has a big arm, but must improve his accuracy.

Arizona Cardinals: Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Rome Odunze, WR; Chop Robinson, DE; Darius Robinson, DT

The Cardinals have endured some serious secondary issues for a few years. This will be their opportunity to finally fix those.

Travis Hunter has incredible athleticism and plus size. He played receiver at Colorado as well.

Seattle Seahawks: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Taliese Fuaga, G/OT

The Seahawks have lacked a great pass rush for quite some time. They can rectify that with this pick.

Mykel Williams has an incredible first step and was terrific down the stretch for Georgia as a freshman.

New Orleans Saints: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Olu Fashanu, OT

The Saints may want to find a better cornerback to play across from Marshon Lattimore.

Benjamin Morrison has a ton of upside as a 6-foot cornerback. He did a good job of limiting Marvin Harrison Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Patrick Payton, DE/OLB, Florida State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB

The Buccaneers will need to address their diminished edge rush in the near future.

Patrick Payton is raw and needs to add bulk, but he has immense upside.

Washington Redskins: Ethan Burke, DE, Texas
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Jayden Daniels, QB

The Redskins will need to replace the pass rushers they traded.

Ethan Burke improved with experience. He has a large frame and big upside.

Los Angeles Chargers: Abdul Carter, DE/OLB, Penn State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Marvin Harrison Jr., WR

Khalil Mack is just a short-term solution across from Joey Bosa, who tends to get hurt a lot.

Abdul Carter has been described as a missile as a pass rusher.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Walter Nolen, DE/DT, Texas A&M
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Graham Barton, C/G

The Steelers could address the trenches in back-to-back years, as they will need to get younger on the defensive front.

Walter Nolen was a highly recruited player who has shown a ton of upside.

Las Vegas Raiders: Trey Zuhn, OT, Texas A&M
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Michael Penix, QB

The Raiders may draft a tackle at No. 13. If they go with Michael Penix instead, they’ll need to protect him with this selection.

Trey Zuhn is a nasty run blocker with good length to play well in pass protection.

Indianapolis Colts: Beaux Collins, WR, Clemson
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Terrion Arnold, CB

The Colts have tried to trade for multiple receivers. If they can’t get a deal done, they may take a wideout with this pick.

Beaux Collins has potential as a mismatch receiver.

Dallas Cowboys: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Troy Fautanu, OT/G

The Cowboys have a great edge rush, but they could add talent to the middle of the defensive line.

Mason Graham is a relentless player with a non-stop motor.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Quinyon Mitchell, CB

The Jaguars made Jake Browning look like Joe Montana. Their secondary needs help.

A quarterback in high school, Malaki Starks is a star in the making, according to Charlie Campbell’s sources.

Cleveland Browns: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): None

The Browns may want a long-term answer as an interior complement for Myles Garrett.

Tyleik Williams played well against Joe Alt in their ’23 matchup.

Los Angeles Rams: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Byron Murphy, DT

The Rams could stand to bolster the pass protection, given how much worse Matthew Stafford is when pressured.

Kelvin Banks is a terrific pass protector.

Atlanta Falcons: Gentry Williams, CB, Oklahoma
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Dallas Turner, DE

The Falcons are very weak at cornerback outside of A.J. Terrell.

Gentry Williams is a great athlete with plus ball skills.

Chicago Bears: Landon Jackson, DE/DT, Arkansas
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Caleb Williams, QB; Laiatu Latu, DE

The Bears could stand to keep adding to their front seven so they have a dominant defense.

Landon Jackson has high upside and can play end in the 4-3 and five-tech in the 3-4.

Miami Dolphins: Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Johnny Newton, DT

Tyreek Hill has said that he doesn’t want to play in the NFL for very long, so if he’s serious, the Dolphins may want to draft a successor.

Luther Burden is a shifty receiver who can be used as a ball-carrier.

New York Jets: Sonny Styles, S, Ohio State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Brock Bowers, TE

The Jets have a great defense, but they have a weakness at safety that can be addressed with this pick.

Sonny Styles is a huge safety who moves like a smaller player.

Baltimore Ravens: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Tyler Guyton, OT

The Ravens could stand to get younger at cornerback in a conference with so many talented passers.

There might be some speed concerns with Denzel Burke, but he’s a tough tackler.

Houston Texans: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): None

The Texans need to make sure their secondary is great, given that they have to battle so many great quarterbacks in the AFC.

Daylen Everette has a ton of upside with a strong skill set.

Green Bay Packers: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Cooper DeJean, CB/S

De’Vondre Campbell is gone, so the Packers will need to fix their weakness at linebacker.

Danny Stutsman is a very instinctive linebacker.

Detroit Lions: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Jackson Powers-Johnson, C

Cornerback is a weakness for the Lions, especially in the wake of Cam Sutton’s arrest.

Will Johnson, who had a tremendous showing during the championship run, has a plus skill set and upside.

Buffalo Bills: Princely Umanmielen, DE, Florida
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Brian Thomas Jr., WR

The Bills could stand to add defenive line help with Von Miller surely leaving the team by this point.

Princely Umanmielen has good size, as well as speed and athleticism off the edge.

Cincinnati Bengals: Trevor Etienne, RB, Florida
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): J.C. Latham, OT

A backfield weapon to have Joe Burrow could be acquired.

Travis Etienne’s brother is small, but has home run ability.

Philadelphia Eagles: David Bailey, DE/OLB, Stanford
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Amarius Mims, OT

You can never go wrong mocking a defensive lineman to the Eagles.

David Bailey needs to add some bulk, but he’s a talented edge rusher.

San Francisco 49ers: Earnest Greene, OT, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Jared Verse, DE

The 49ers need to find a replacement for former right tackle Mike McGlinchey.

Earnest Greene is a massive right tackle and a powerful run blocker.

Kansas City Chiefs: Bear Alexander, DT, Georgia
2024 NFL Mock Draft Pick (as of 4/22): Kingsley Suamataia, OT

The Chiefs re-signed Chris Jones, but Jones is in his 30s. The Chiefs need to think about finding a successor.

Bear Alexander is a terrific athlete for an interior defensive lineman.
