The NFL Draft is almost here, and the rumors buzzing are getting louder with every minute that passes. With that in mind, I don't want to waste any time - let's jump right into my final 2025 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward (QB - Miami)

This pick is all but certain at this point Ward has the tools that you look for in a top-tier quarterback, but he doesn't quite have the polish just yet unfortunately he won't have the luxury to sit around and learn from a veteran he'll need to jump right in and try to keep the Titans afloat.

2. Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter (WR/CB - Colorado)

I'm finally changing my tune on this pick. For the longest time, I've thought the Browns would select Shear Sanders with the second overall pick, but all the signs point to Travis Hunter being their guy, and honestly, I get it. The Browns' offense was horrendous last year, and putting Hunter on the offensive side of the ball would give this offense the juice it desperately needs, regardless of who is playing under center. They simply can't pass up on a blue-chip player for a quarterback they're not sold on yet.

3. New York Giants: Abdul Carter (EDGE - Penn State)

This is another selection, where a bad team can't pass up the opportunity to draft a blue-chip player in favor of a quarterback. What's even crazier for the Giants is that they already have multiple pass rushers on their defense; however, Kayvon Thibodeaux hasn't exactly shone as of late, and Brian Burns could use an elite running mate. Carter would be a cornerstone player for the Giants' defense.

4. New England Patriots: Will Campbell (OT - LSU)

 Everyone watching the draft on Thursday has been expecting this pick to happen at four. The Patriots need to protect Drake Maye and set him up for success if one of the blue-chip players in Hunter or Carter happen to fall to four I would understand bypassing an offensive tackle like Campbell despite the complaints about his arm length Campbell has been a stalwart along the LSU offensive line and has shown consistently the ability to win in one of college football's toughest conferences.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ashton Jeanty (RB - Boise State)

I don't know if I would want this to happen for Fantasy purposes, but I think I could talk myself into a top-five selection in a Liam Cohen-orchestrated run game. We also saw how good Bucky Irving was last year for the Buccaneers. Now insert Ashton Jeanty into an offense with a smart run game and Brian Thomas Jr. stretching the field. I wouldn't make this pick as the Jaguars' GM, but I also won't fault them for taking one of the best players in the draft. This feels very reminiscent of when the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson, despite already having Tyler Allgeier on the roster. There's a lot of smoke in the news that the Jaguars will be looking to take an offensive playmaker with their top pick. 

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Armand Membou (OT - Missouri)

In my last two mock drafts, I had the Raiders selecting Ashton Jeanty, but with the running back off the board, it makes sense for the Raiders to add stability to their offensive line, which will enable them to improve their run game. This is a deep running back class, and the Raiders will have the opportunity to add some top-tier athletes later on. For now, just go get one of the best players in this draft who can play at multiple positions along the offensive line.

7. New York Jets: Mason Graham (DL - Michigan)

This is a dream scenario for the Jets. They get one of the draft's best players without having to move up, on top of being incredibly talented. Graham is a perfect fit for what the Jets need right now new head coach Aaron Glenn will want to build the defensive side of the ball.

8. Carolina Panthers: Jalon Walker (EDGE - Georgia)

Have you listened to the Panthers' head coach Dave Canales talk about Jalon Walker? The way he lights up, it's like he's talking about his very own son. Walker has insane athleticism and potential, and he would be an immediate plug-and-play edge rusher in Ejiro Evero's 3-4 scheme. He fits the mold of the type of versatile defenders the Panthers need as they rebuild.

9. New Orleans Saints: Tyler Warren (TE - Penn State)

Offensive-minded coaches love nothing more than to have fun, chess pieces that they can move around their board. Warren would allow the new head coach, Kellen Moore, to get very creative with his offense. We could see Warren and Taysom Hill in the same backfield - I don't know about you, but that feels nearly impossible to stop. The Saints have a decent group of pass catchers. What they haven't had is a tight end that can dominate the middle of the field. Warren can learn so much from Taysom Hill while still being one of the NFL's best athletes at the tight end position. This is such a fun pick for the Saints.

10. Chicago Bears: Kelvin Banks (OL - Texas)

I purposely listed banks as an offensive lineman because he has the versatility to play tackle or guard at the next level. However, I do believe that his long-term home will be as a tackle in the NFL. The Bears made a lot of moves this offseason to show up their offensive line, but they still need a long-term answer at left tackle if they're going to keep Caleb Williams upright.

11. San Francisco 49ers: Mykel Williams (EDGE - Georgia)

Williams looks like he was built in a lab — 6-5, long, explosive, and incredibly versatile. Like former Bulldog Travon Walker, Williams didn't rack up huge sack totals but did everything well — set the edge, rushed the passer, and disrupted plays. He fought through an early-season ankle sprain but showed flashes late, including a two-sack game against Texas. The Niners would be getting a high-upside EDGE who can be part of their rotation from Day 1, with the potential to grow into a star.

12. Dallas Cowboys: Tetairoa McMillan (WR - Arizona)

I know a lot of people have made the connection between Matthew Golden and the Cowboys, but I don't buy it if McMillan is on the board at 12. McMillan's ball skills are just ridiculous. With a massive catch radius and strong hands, he's a walking first down. He's a slant-killer in man coverage and thrives in the quick game. People sleep on his yards-after-catch ability, but he ranked fourth in the class with 55 first downs and racked up 430 YAC in 2024. He's fluid, explosive, and doesn't waste motion—exactly the kind of target Dallas could use to diversify their passing attack.

13. Miami Dolphins: Jahdae Barron (CB - Texas)

This pick could easily be Will Johnson out of Michigan, but I think his injury concerns will cause him to slip a little bit in the draft. Barron, on the other hand, has been rising steadily as we get closer to draft night. He's a no-nonsense defensive back who isn't afraid of contact, and he's also a pick-six machine. With Jalen Ramsey on the trade block and the Dolphins' secondary in shambles, Barron would give them a versatile athlete who can play anywhere in the defensive backfield.

14. Indianapolis Colts: Colston Loveland (TE - Michigan)

 Whether it's been Loveland or Tyler Warren, the Colts have been connected to a tight end throughout this entire pre-draft process. It's one of the most glaring needs on their roster, and Loveland would be a security blanket for Anthony Richardson as he continues to develop.

15. Atlanta Falcons: Jihaad Campbell (LB - Alabama)

One of the most intriguing defensive prospects in this class. Campbell was a five-star edge rusher who ended up starting at linebacker, but he still received edge reps at Bama and trained as one in the pre-draft process. He's a fast, explosive playmaker who led Alabama in tackles, TFLs, sacks, and forced fumbles in 2024. Whether teams see him as an edge defender or versatile linebacker, Campbell is a high-ceiling chess piece who's well worth a first-round investment.

16. Arizona Cardinals: Will Johnson (CB - Michigan)

Johnson has CB1 potential. He's sticky in coverage, fluid in his transitions, and makes plays on the ball. During Michigan's 2023 title run, he allowed just a 30.9 QB rating when targeted and never gave up a touchdown in coverage. The 2024 season was a bit rockier, and injuries didn't help, but the upside is undeniable. If he stays healthy, Johnson could quickly become the cornerstone of Arizona's secondary.

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Walter Nolen (DL - Ole Miss)

The Bengals have never been afraid of selecting a player who's a little rough around the edges. Nolen is a disruptor who would be a big-time headache for division rival Lamar Jackson. There's some serious buzz right now that Nolan might go in the top 15. We'll have to wait and see, but I think the Bengals would be happy with Nolan as a plug-in play starter along the defensive front.

18. Seattle Seahawks: Grey Zabel (OL - North Dakota State)

I haven't changed this pick in any of my three mocks. Zabel is the most Seahawks pick ever. While he might not be a household name, scouts and coaches around the league took notice during the Senior Bowl, where he dominated one-on-one drills and showcased the ability to line up all across the offensive front. Seattle's interior O-line could use an upgrade, and Zabel is the kind of lunch-pail, do-your-job prospect that would thrive in Klint Kubiak's run-first scheme. He'd immediately help pave the way for Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, while giving Sam Darnold a cleaner pocket.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Green (EDGE - Marshall)

Head coach Todd Bowles has made it a point to say that the team is looking for ballhawk players in their secondary. While I was tempted to give them one of the safeties on the board, I remain adamant that the Buccaneers have to fix their pass rush. Todd Bowles' defense ranked near the bottom of the league in pressure rate, and quarterbacks had way too much time to sit back and pick them apart. Enter Mike Green — the FBS sack leader in 2024 and a perfect schematic fit as a 3-4 OLB in Bowles' system. He's a high-motor, bendy pass-rusher with the production to match.

20. Denver Broncos: Omarion Hampton (RB - UNC)

I'm not going to lie, I'd be pretty upset if this pick actually happens. The quickest way to ruin a running back's fantasy value is by putting him on the Denver Broncos in Sean Payton's offense. Hampton has three down ability. He has soft hands in the receiving game, is a reliable blocker, and has the size and speed to make every run possible. My only issue with this landing spot would be all the moments where Peyton decides to substitute Jaleel McLaughlin at the goal line. I'm praying to the draft gods that this doesn't happen. 

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Shedeur Sanders (QB - Colorado)

A month ago, this would have seemed like a pipe dream. But now there's some buzz that Sanders might be falling, even out of the first round. He's an accurate quarterback who doesn't have tremendous physical tools, but that won't be needed in the Steelers' ready-to-play offense. I'd love to write more about Sanders' fit with the Steelers, but all I can think of right now is how Mike Tomlin would handle a locker room with Sanders, George Pickens, and DK Metcalf. If Aaron Rodgers does indeed sign with the Steelers, Sanders would have the opportunity to sit and learn from one of the greats.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Matthew Golden (WR - Texas)

Being selected outside of the top 20 feels like a much more realistic landing spot for Matthew Golden. The Chargers have spent high draft picks on wide receivers in recent years (Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston), but they still have a major need at the receiver position. Golden would provide the Chargers with a speedy playmaker who can be a deep threat from time to time, but where Golden wins is on intermediate routes, and he's also surprisingly good at contested catches. The Chargers have been trying for years to establish a good ecosystem for Justin Herbert. This might finally be the year where they round out their offense.

23. Green Bay Packers: Shemar Stewart (EDGE - Texas A&M)

Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Packers like to pick high-level athletes with insane potential. The production hasn't matched the traits just yet, but Stewart's ceiling is undeniable. At 6-5 with a 7-foot wingspan and a perfect 10 RAS score, Stewart is a moldable ball of clay. The Packers have the coaching staff to develop him, and the setup is there to let him play in rotation while he grows into a full-time role.

24. Minnesota Vikings: Nick Emmanwori (S - South Carolina)

Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores loves versatility in his defensive personnel - Emmanwori fits that bill perfectly. He blew up the combine, but the real appeal is on tape. He can play deep, roll into the box, or cover tight ends in the slot. With Flores utilizing him in all different ways, he could turn into one of the best young defensive backs in the league. 

25. Houston Texans: Josh Simmons (OT - Ohio State)

 Had it not been for injury, Simmons would likely be a top 10 pick in this year's draft. Luckily for the Texans, it seems likely that he will be sitting there for them at their pick. The only drawback is that they will have to wait for Simmons to recover, which could keep him off the field for a short time during his rookie season. However, once he's back and healthy, this pick will be more than worth it if it means they can protect C.J. Stroud.

26. Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Booker (IOL - Alabama)

Booker's testing numbers didn't blow anyone away, but his power, toughness, and raw tools stand out. He's a tone-setter in the trenches with a throwback demeanor. The Rams need an immediate starter at guard, and Booker fits the bill — he's got the frame and nasty streak to be a longtime pro in Sean McVay's offense.

27. Baltimore Ravens: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Tell me this doesn't feel like a Ravens pick. Ezeiruaku was one of the most productive defenders in the country, and Baltimore can never have too many edge guys. With Kyle Van Noy aging and David Ojabo still a question mark, Ezeiruaku brings youth and juice to this pass rush. He'd push for double-digit sacks early in his career.

28. Detroit Lions: Kenneth Grant (DL - Michigan)

A 331-pound wrecking ball, Grant may have been overshadowed by Mason Graham, but don't let that fool you — he's a freak athlete with brute strength and rare movement skills for his size. If Grant lands in Detroit, he'd be a foundational piece in the middle of that defense.

29. Washington Commanders: Emeka Egbuka (WR - Ohio State)

Egbuka is a savvy route runner with reliable hands, often compared to Terry McLaurin. I can't think of a better landing spot for him at this point in the draft, with a couple of veterans to show him the ropes and a young quarterback that he'd be tied to for the next five years. This would be awesome for Dynasty managers. 

30. Buffalo Bills: Maxwell Hairston (CB - Kentucky)

Buffalo's secondary was a liability last year, and Hairston brings immediate help. He has 4.28 speed, great footwork, and plays bigger than his frame suggests. The Bills have missed on a few DBs lately, but Hairston is a twitchy, competitive cover corner who would push for starting reps right away.

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Donovan Jackson (OL - Ohio State)

Dovovan Jackson has some incredible versatility on the offensive line. Although his initial position is at guard, last season, after Josh Simmons' injury, Jackson had to move to left tackle, where some scouts think he performed even better. If Jackson ends up on the Chiefs, he'd have the opportunity to start anywhere along the offensive line, and I think he'd be a plug-and-play starter from day one.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Malaki Starks (S - Georgia)

Howie Roseman does it again. The Eagles land a top-20 talent at the end of the first round without moving up. Starks is a versatile safety with range, smarts, and ball skills. He'd be a plug-and-play starter in Philly's revamped secondary — and yet another Georgia Bulldog added to this defense.
