The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in three weeks, and free agency is largely on hold until we see where the top rookies land. Knowing where rosters stand today and with most of the evaluation process in the books, dream landing spots are rounding nicely into shape. 

Here are five of my favorite landing spots that could be possible in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Dream 2025 NFL Draft Fits

1) Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter, WR, Colorado

I believe that passing on a quarterback in this situation would be a mistake unless there is confidence in later options. Cleveland may have a plan in mind, but if not, Travis Hunter should be the selection over Abdul Carter. With Cleveland's offense ranked 32nd in 2024, they desperately need assistance, and Hunter possesses the personality and work ethic to become a transformative player for the city.

2) San Francisco 49ers: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

San Francisco faces more needs than we typically associate with this regime, yet they possess 11 picks, which is more than they can effectively utilize. It would be wise to trade some of that capital to acquire one of the few elite players at a position of critical need. Mason Graham is highly disruptive on the field and may be the safest prospect in this draft class.

3) Dallas Cowboys: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Dallas might consider trading up to secure a player, but they would be very pleased to select at No. 12. Tetairoa McMillan is the perfect complement to CeeDee Lamb among the available options, offering impressive size and the ability to create plays after the catch. Dak Prescott will benefit greatly from having two distinct receivers who make his job easier. This strategy also enables Dallas to select a running back in the second round instead of reaching for a less critical position in the first round.

4) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia

Acquiring Haason Reddick to strengthen their pass rush gives Tampa Bay the flexibility to be strategic with this selection. They no longer need to reach for a safety, as Antoine Winfield Jr. would benefit from having a more capable partner than the undrafted players they have previously relied on. Malaki Starks would be an ideal complement to Winfield, allowing the veteran to operate more freely in the middle of the field or closer to the line of scrimmage. Starks' exceptional deep coverage skills would be effectively utilized in Tampa.

5) Philadelphia Eagles: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

This could be considered a strategic value pick for the defending Super Bowl champions, and that would be justified. However, there's an element of future-proofing involved in case A.J. Brown decides to pursue an opportunity with more targets. The hype surrounding Matthew Golden has become a bit excessive for my taste, but this is a suitable range for this speedy, high-effort star.
