2025 NFL Mock Draft: Predicting This Year's First Three Rounds
The Philadelphia Eagles are your Super Bowl champions, but there's no rest for the wicked on the NFL calendar. All 32 teams, including the Eagles, are back to the drawing board in the aftermath of one of the most lopsided Super Bowls in recent years.
What did everyone learn from the 40-22 beatdown? Invest in the trenches early and often.
Our post-Super Bowl 2025 NFL mock draft isn't just a one-rounder, though. We've put together a thorough three-round 2025 NFL mock draft that looks to thread the needle of helping teams in 2025 and building for the future.
Which player will your favorite team choose? Many things could shift with an entire free agency period ahead. But for now, this is how I envision the draft playing out.
Updated Top 100 Player Rankings
Three Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft
1. Tennessee Titans 
Selection: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
There's been a ton of speculation as to whether the Tennessee Titans will go with anyone other than a quarterback, but that argument loses traction with me when Cleveland, New York, Las Vegas, and New Orleans would gladly scoop one of the top two names if they fell.
This decision should come down to whether Tennessee prefers the more physically gifted passer or the more cerebral one. Shedeur Sanders' accuracy, playmaking, and sharp decision-making will help Brian Callahan get his offense back to a respectable level.
2. Cleveland Browns
Selection: Cameron Ward, QB, Miami
Cameron Ward carries some risk, and his comparison to Deshaun Watson raises concerns about his suitability for Cleveland. Nevertheless, there's a chance that Kevin Stefanski views Ward more like Jordan Love, who has thrived in Green Bay's system.
Ward is an exceptional athlete with the potential to become a star. This gamble is more appealing than attempting to draft a quarterback from a lackluster 2026 class.
3. New York Giants
Selection: Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado
New York is probably anticipating this situation, which means its options include pursuing Sam Darnold in free agency, reaching for a quarterback at No. 3, or being patient and selecting their preferred player in the second round.
It would be crazy to pick Jaxson Dart here, so I’ll opt for the best overall player in the draft and secure a crucial piece for the defense in Colorado's Travis Hunter.
4. New England Patriots
Selection: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Drake Maye represents the offensive future of the New England Patriots, putting them in a strong position to sit tight and grab their top-rated player.
No tackle or receiver compares to Abdul Carter. This swift and agile pass-rusher could become a foundational player for New England's defense for the next 10 years.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Selection: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Early intel says we could see a little unexpected switch-a-roo early on. Shoving an athletic pass-rusher who stands 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds into the middle of a multiple-front defense sounds a lot like what Philadelphia did as they revamped their defense around Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
Kenneth Grant is a little more of Davis than he is Carter, but there's still plenty of juice in his lower body to be an impact defender on three downs.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Selection: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Similar to the Giants, the Las Vegas Raiders are likely to enter the race for Darnold. Pete Carroll might also consider bringing Russell Wilson back to transform the Raiders into a competitive run-oriented team, reminiscent of his previous Seahawks squads.
Selecting Ashton Jeanty at this point might be a tough sell for some, but he has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone throughout his rookie contract.
7. New York Jets
Selection: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Recent offensive investments put the New York Jets in a position where they almost have to take a quarterback or tend to their aging defense.
Mason Graham can usher in the next generation of defensive dominance in New York. He can play multiple positions, as Aaron Glenn banks on interior pressure, which matters more than a lower-tier edge prospect.
8) Carolina Panthers
Selection: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Carolina Panthers might select the top tackle first and then shift Ikem Ekwonu to center. However, the top talent still available is Will Johnson.
Pairing him with Jaycee Horn would provide a dynamic and physical counterpart, which is an excellent outcome for a team that began to gain offensive momentum toward the end of the season. The main goal now should be to pursue as much high-impact star power as possible.
9. New Orleans Saints
Selection: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Shemar Stewart, who garnered a ton of praise during the Senior Bowl due to his impressive raw power and eagerness to learn, has the potential to climb into the top 10 this offseason.
With numerous needs, New Orleans can prioritize the highest-rated player on their board. I still believe in focusing on key positions, and at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, he has the ability to be a dominant strong-side end.
10. Chicago Bears
Selection: Will Campbell, OL, LSU
As the Chicago Bears approach their pick in this part of the first round, the discussion about whether to focus on a pass rusher or an offensive lineman grows more intriguing.
Unless the Bears walk away with a top blocker from free agency, though, an offensive lineman is the expectation. It's crucial for the Bears to avoid repeating past mistakes with Caleb Williams, which ultimately influences their decision.
11. San Francisco 49ers
Selection: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
The San Francisco 49ers have the opportunity to make a more daring choice rather than simply selecting an anticipated pick for the defensive line. Kelvin Banks stands out as the top true tackle prospect in this class, and the 49ers could secure their future replacement for Trent Williams, potentially positioning him on the right side in 2025.
This decision hinges on their confidence in Colton McKivitz, especially considering the impact on the team when their performance in the trenches declines.
12. Dallas Cowboys
Selection: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen emerged as a standout at the Senior Bowl, showcasing his impressive fluidity and explosiveness as a defensive tackle. While Graham may have the edge in run defense and consistency, Dallas could be an ideal destination for Nolen to reach his full potential.
This option is more enticing than selecting a sturdier presence and carries the potential for a game-changing impact similar to that of Gerald McCoy.
13. Miami Dolphins
Selection: Armand Membou, OL, Missouri
Scouts strongly admire Armand Membou, and it's easy to see why. He can effectively play tackle and guard, showcasing exceptional length and athletic ability while utilizing his strengths against defenders.
His game tape is impressive, and his track record is more polished than many other prospects in this class. With Miami needing a standout guard, he would be an excellent addition to the team.
14. Indianapolis Colts
Selection: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
I don't want to go with the obvious choice here, but it makes a lot of sense for the team and Tyler Warren. The Colts are a young team and have the opportunity to significantly boost their offensive capabilities with an athletic tight end.
Warren stands out as one of the most impactful players in the country last season.
15. Atlanta Falcons
Selection: Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
The trade for Matthew Judon didn’t pan out, leaving the Atlanta Falcons with a strong need for a pass-rusher with this selection. Jalon Walker presents excellent value at this spot, even though he is somewhat undersized at 6-foot-2, 245 pounds for a primary edge defender.
Nevertheless, his ability to perform as a three-down player shines through, thanks to his solid skills as an off-ball linebacker, making his versatility quite exceptional.
16. Arizona Cardinals
Selection: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
I still think James Pearce Jr. is being undervalued, as his run defense has been penalized a bit too harshly. His long, lanky frame is still effective at generating plenty of power, and his speed rush is as effective as anyone in the nation.
The Arizona Cardinals must leave this draft with a foundational piece, and Pearce's sack upside fits the bill.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Selection: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
Why not keep the Ohio standout close to home? Jack Sawyer established himself as an Ohio State icon this season, achieving remarkable success as a pass-rusher.
Trey Hendrickson may leave the Cincinnati Bengals, but even if he stays, upgrading Sam Hubbard's position would benefit the defense. Sawyer is a ready-to-play, three-down player who can make a significant impact.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Selection: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
A DK Metcalf trade seems more possible than ever as the veteran's salary rises and the Seattle Seahawks enter a critical offseason where long-term decisions at quarterback also exist.
Entering a new era at receiver that no longer has Metcalf and Tyler Lockett but instead features Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tetairoa McMillan is a fitting one. McMillan is incredibly dangerous with his long stride and massive catch radius.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Selection: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The analytical darling of this impressive pass-rusher crop is Mike Green. Explosive, powerful, and relentless, Green proved he belonged among the top names in this class at the Senior Bowl.
His NFL Combine performance could vault him even closer to the top 10.
20. Denver Broncos
Selection: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
It's undeniable that Sean Payton will appreciate Emeka Egbuka's highlight reel. He's dependable, consistent, an excellent run blocker, and possesses more explosiveness than people realize.
Egbuka would make an ideal No. 2 receiver in any offense. The Denver Broncos urgently need to revamp their playmaking group this offseason, and Egbuka could either take over Courtland Sutton's role or serve as a strong complementary option for Bo Nix.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
Selection: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Matthew Golden's quick rise is attributed to his speed and his growing ability to make catches on vertical routes, positioning him well for a first-round draft pick.
While the Pittsburgh Steelers might consider Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe due to their quarterback situation, it seems more likely they will either bring back Justin Fields or pursue a veteran quarterback while improving the surrounding team.
If George Pickens returns, Golden would fit seamlessly into the WR2 position, ahead of Roman Wilson, who excels in the slot.
22. Los Angeles Chargers
Selection: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
I have some reservations about picking a player returning from a significant injury for Los Angeles, but Shavon Revel Jr. possesses enough talent to take a chance on a franchise that has faced its share of health-related challenges.
The Los Angeles Chargers need playmaking abilities on offense and defense, and there's a considerable talent disparity between Revel and Tre Harris that justifies this choice. Revel’s athleticism and playmaking skills at 6-foot-3 are exceptional and quite uncommon.
23. Green Bay Packers
Selection: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
I initially believed that the Green Bay Packers were satisfied with Rasheed Walker, but there continue to be murmurs they're open to upgrading the position.
Despite recovering from a torn ACL, Josh Simmons could be the top left tackle in this class. His blend of power and quickness is apparent in run and pass blocking, making him a great fit for Matt LaFleur's system.
24. Minnesota Vikings
Selection: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
It's easy to forget that Notre Dame's best defender missed the entire season with an injury. The Minnesota Vikings could grab an interior lineman, but I think they address that in free agency.
Benjamin Morrison gives Brian Flores an elite man corner to deploy, taking his unit up a whole new notch. Don't forget, Morrison was a projected top-10 pick before this season.
25. Houston Texans
Selection: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Houston Texans have to consider whether it's wiser to simply cut bait with an aging and injured Stefon Diggs and replace him in the draft.
In this scenario, where Luther Burden III falls further than expected, that decision would have been the right one. Houston will likely see a great option available. Burden is incredibly dangerous as a deep threat, especially on short routes where he can get upfield with his lightning-quick acceleration.
26. Los Angeles Rams
Selection: Donovan Jackson, OT, Ohio State
Donovan Jackson deserves more recognition for his impressive performance in eight games at left tackle for Ohio State. He effectively neutralized every pass-rusher he encountered, except for Abdul Carter, and played a crucial role in the Buckeyes' championship aspirations.
Whether the Los Angeles Rams decide to retain Alaric Jackson or look for a replacement, there will be a place for Donovan Jackson at right tackle.
27. Baltimore Ravens
Selection: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Athleticism matters as much for edge rushers as any position in football, and Mykel Williams might be the most explosive raw athlete in the class.
The Baltimore Ravens urgently needs young talent to develop into stars, and Williams' best moments are tremendous. However, his durability and lack of discipline in the run game are real concerns.
28. Detroit Lions
Selection: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
The loss of Ben Johnson could be the most defining offseason move of the entire league if the Detroit Lions don't properly adjust. Getting more talent along the offense might not be the team's top priority, but their struggles landing a true partner for Aidan Hutchinson won't be easier when they pick this late in the round.
Instead, getting a more consistent No. 2 receiver that offers Jared Goff another excellent option who creates after the catch can raise the unit's floor and hedges against Jameson Williams disappearing.
29. Washington Commanders
Selection: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Opting for a receiver or a standout defensive player could be a logical choice for a Washington team that is clearly less talented than their record suggests. However, selecting Colston Loveland would also bring significant value to the roster as they shape their future around Jayden Daniels.
Loveland has the potential to be his version of Jason Witten for the next 10 years, helping to move the chains, generating yards after the catch, and delivering superior run blocking compared to many young tight ends.
30. Buffalo Bills
Selection: Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia
The Buffalo Bills made do on a somewhat average safety duo in Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin during the 2024 season, but there's room for improvement in talent. I'm curious about Cole Bishop's lack of performance and whether he remains part of the team's future.
If the Bills have reservations, choosing a more instinctive and athletic player like Malaki Starks could provide a pivotal presence in the defense. Starks has a playing style reminiscent of former Bills standout Micah Hyde.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
Selection: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
I could see a scenario in which the Kanas City Chiefs allow Trey Smith to hit free agency, replace him with 2024 second-round pick Kinglsey Suamataia, and keep Joe Thuney at left tackle.
If they do, then replacing Travis Kelce becomes a viable option. Elijah Arroyo is the best pure receiving tight end in the class and has the profile of a massive matchup problem for defenses with his speed and fluidity.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Selection: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Teams greatly appreciate versatile players, and Nic Scourton is a prime example. At 6-foot-4, 285 pounds, he can fill multiple positions and has a significant athletic advantage.
Given that the Philadelphia Eagles already have solid tackles but potentially lose Josh Sweat, allowing Scourton to focus on a specific role on the edge will help him excel without the pressure of changing his body.
