The NFL Draft is just five months from now. It's beginning to become quite clear that many NFL teams aren't exactly going to be in playoff contention for long. The college football regular season is wrapping up in short order. So, what does that mean? It's definitely time to look ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft as the next class of top prospects is beginning to take shape.
We asked eight of our NFL Draft contributors here at A to Z Sports to put together our third collaborative 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the year, taking turns selecting for all 32 NFL teams. And this time we went two rounds deep. Our team of draft analysts utilized detailed film analysis, meaningful metrics, and intel from NFL staffers to help inform every selection. This draft order reflects the actual current state of the 2025 NFL Draft as of this writing. Enjoy!
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Travis Hunter is the best player in the 2025 NFL Draft, with elite playmaking ability on either side of the ball. He can play either wide receiver or cornerback at the next level, two critical areas of need for the Jaguars. No need to overthink this pick if the Jaguars actually hang onto it. – AJ Schulte
2. Tennessee Titans: Jaxson Dart, QB Ole Miss
This pick might shock some people, but he's quickly risen up to fourth in the odds to go first overall now via sports books, and for good reason. Dart ranks #1 in overall QB efficiency this year via a variety of different production metrics. He possesses strong traits, quick processing, and consistency. Titans need all of that and more in their next franchise QB. – Travis May
3. Cleveland Browns: Cam Ward, QB Miami
The Browns may still be on the hook for Deshaun Watson, but it’s clear that his days as the starting QB are over. A fresh start with a proven talent at QB like Cam Ward on his rookie deal will bring some life back to Cleveland. – Rob Gregson
4. Las Vegas Raiders: Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado
Shedeur Sanders is the top quarterback in this class. His poise, accuracy and command are all translatable to the NFL and he has enough ability outside of structure to be a real difference maker at the next level. – Tyler Forness
5. New York Giants: Jalen Milroe, QB Alabama
The Giants desperately need a new face behind center. Milroe is a dynamic athlete that can make some magic happen when things break down. His passing skills need to be refined but the tools are very much there. – Ryan Roberts
6. New England Patriots: Kelvin Banks, OT Texas
If the top offensive tackle in the class falls into New England's lap at sixth overall, it's a good day for the Patriots. With the way QBs tend to fly off the board, it seems entirely possible that it happens. Drake Maye is a hit. Now it's time to protect him. – Jon Helmkamp
7. New York Jets: Will Johnson, CB Michigan
The Jets are going through a lot of transition right now as a franchise and the easy thing to do is force a QB here. But with the top options off the board I chose to give them Will Johnson to form one of the deadliest CB duos in the NFL with Sauce Gardner. – Destin Adams
8. Carolina Panthers: Luther Burden, WR Missouri
Bryce Young has shown some signs of growth over the last few weeks, so it's hard to imagine Carolina moves away from him yet. Giving him an actual star playmaker would be wise. Luther Burden III can be the offense's engine regardless of whether Young sticks around long. – Ian Valentino
9. Dallas Cowboys: Mason Graham, DL Michigan
The interior of Dallas's defensive line has been abysmal this season. To make matters worse, Osa Odighizuwa is a pending free agent, and the Cowboys might not retain him with the other mega contracts they have to consider. Mason Graham has an argument to be the best player in this class, and would transform their front instantly. – AJ Schulte
10. New Orleans Saints: Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona
McMillan has asserted himself as the clear WR1 in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Size, speed, ball skills, and a proven production profile that looks like an elite first round wide receiver prospect. Saints desperately need help at wide receiver outside of Chris Olave. – Travis May
11. Cincinnati Bengals: Abdul Carter, EDGE Penn State
It’s very late to see the first pass rusher come off the board, and there’s a lot of flavors to choose from for a Bengals team that desperately needs pass rush. Abdul Carter has some of the best traits and upside in the class, making him a slam-dunk decision for Cincinnati. – Rob Gregson
12. Miami Dolphins: Will Campbell, OT LSU
The Miami Dolphins are all-in on the Mike McDaniel offense with Tua Tagovailoa and they need to find a way to protect their quarterback. Likely a guard, Campbell is arguably the best offensive lineman in this class and will allow the Dolphins to put their best five on the field. – Tyler Forness
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Pearce Jr., EDGE Tennessee
The Buccaneers have two glaring needs: pass rush and cornerback. Getting a pass rush talent like Pearce at this juncture of the first round is huge. He's twitched up, bendy, and has massive upside as he continues filling out his frame. – Ryan Roberts
14. Chicago Bears: Malaki Starks, S Georgia
Chicago continues to build their secondary as they've done in recent years, adding a position-versatile, explosive, lengthy safety with ball-hawking ability. – Jon Helmkamp
15. Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Warren, TE Penn State
Some will say this is a reach, but the Colts aggressively tried to move up for Brock Bowers in 2024 and they desperately need a play maker at TE. Penn State’s Tyler Warren seems to be the perfect fit in this class for Shane Steichen’s offense. – Destin Adams
16. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Simmons, OT Ohio State
A powerful blocker who has grown tremendously since transferring to Ohio State, Josh Simmons can slide into Seattle's right tackle spot and be the long-term answer that Abraham Lucas has not been. – Ian Valentino
17. Los Angeles Rams: Cameron Williams, OT Texas
The Rams are at a crossroads with their offensive tackle room. Left tackle Alaric Jackson and swing tackle Joe Noteboom are free agents, and neither have earned the right to start long-term. To make matters worse, right tackle Rob Havenstein is aging and could be close to medically retiring with his most recent string of injuries. They need to find a long-term solution at either spot. This might be rich for Williams, but his tools make him an intriguing upside swing for a team on a hot streak developing on the offensive line. – AJ Schulte
18. San Francisco 49ers: Nic Scourton, EDGE Texas A&M
True "edge" isn't a huge need for 49ers, but at 285 pounds with an elite athletic profile Scourton can plug and play in a variety of roles. Then moving forward he could settle in as a potential full-time future franchise edge rusher in coming years. – Travis May
19. Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State
The Broncos can go a few different routes, but if they truly believe in QB Bo Nix, building around him with a WR that fits perfectly in Sean Payton’s offense is the way to go. Egbuka could step in and be an immediate contributor. – Rob Gregson
20. Atlanta Falcons: Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE Georgia
The Falcons desperately need to generate a pass rush and getting edge rusher help should be the top priority. Walker provides flexibility to play on and off the ball and is scheme diverse. – Tyler Forness
21. Houston Texans: Kenneth Grant, DL Michigan
The Texans have quality depth pieces inside along their defensive line, but no substantial difference makers. That's the upside that Grant has. He has been playing really good football down the stretch. – Ryan Roberts
22. Arizona Cardinals: LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama
Arizona is lacking at pass rush, and Overton out of Alabama is a clear fit. The athletic and explosive pass rusher gives them juice off the edge that they're lacking. – Jon Helmkamp
23. Washington Commanders: Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State
This would be a luxury pick for the Commanders but one that could elevate their offense in a major way. The duo of Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson had produced solid numbers. But if they have the chance to give Jayden Daniels a dynamic RB like Ashton Jeanty I think they should run the card in. – Destin Adams
24. Baltimore Ravens: Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M
With the top linemen off the board and few surprises available for a value play, Shemar Stewart is the best Baltimore-esque talent on the board. Capable of playing at end or tackle, the athletic piece of clay can become whatever this staff wants. – Ian Valentino
25. Los Angeles Chargers: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
I debated a wide receiver here for the Chargers, but with how much they love multiple tight end sets, it makes sense to add talent to that room instead. Loveland is an elite receiving prospect who would add a reliable big play threat to the Chargers' offense. – AJ Schulte
26. Green Bay Packers: Shavon Revel Jr., CB East Carolina
Shavon Revel Jr. an early first round potential talent who might drop to the late first on the injury discount. ACL tears aren't what they once were and he should easily be ready to go ahead of his rookie year. – Travis May
27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Benjamin Morrison, CB Notre Dame
The Steelers have to search for their future plan at cornerback. Donte Jackson has filled in well opposite of Joey Porter Jr., but the team is thin at CB with little to no depth and perhaps more importantly, needs an influx of speed and athleticism. Pittsburgh can find that with Morrison should his medicals check out. – Rob Gregson
28. Minnesota Vikings: Walter Nolen, DL Ole Miss
By the time April comes around, this may not be a need. As things sit, the Vikings need pass rush on the interior in the worst way. Nolen can be a penetrating pass rusher for Brian Flores and unlock even more with their diverse scheme. – Tyler Forness
29. Philadelphia Eagles: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE Ole Miss
The Bryce Huff signing has been a total bust so far, and Brandon Graham is on his last leg. There aren't many more physically gifted pass rushers in this class than Umanmielen. He's really starting to tap into his ceiling with Ole Miss. – Ryan Roberts
30. Buffalo Bills: Isaiah Bond, WR Texas
Assuming Buffalo doesn't sign Amari Cooper to an extension, there's a need for another wide receiver to operate in this offense along with Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. Bond would provide an elite speed element that this team doesn't currently have. – Jon Helmkamp
31. Kansas City Chiefs: Derrick Harmon, DL Oregon
There's multiple directions the Chiefs could go here but giving Chris Jones a solid partner in crime in the interior of their defensive line would be a solid move. Oregon’s Derrick Harmon has upside in both the run and pass game for the Chiefs to develop. – Destin Adams
32. Detroit Lions: Mykel Williams, EDGE Georgia
Mykel Williams hasn't been himself this year, playing through injury at times, but he has all the traits you want in a first round edge rusher and has that "dawg" in him that Dan Campbell will love. – Travis May
2025 NFL Draft Top 50 Big Board: Surprising QB depth and edge rushers likely dominate early rounds
Maybe the 2025 NFL Draft is deeper than we thought
ROUND TWO
33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tyleik Williams, DL Ohio State
What a coup stealing a player like this could be. The Jaguars have invested plenty on the edge of their defensive line, but they need to shore up the interior–particularly against the run. Williams is the arguably the best run stuffer in this class, and is no slouch as a pass rusher either. – AJ Schulte
34. Tennessee Titans: Wyatt Milum, OT West Virginia
The Titans get a near perfect pass blocker here who can maul in the run game too. They may swing JC Latham back to right tackle where he played at Alabama if they draft Milum here. – Travis May
35. Cleveland Browns: Kyren Lacy, WR LSU
The Browns need to get more explosive on the perimeter as they search for a true #1 on the outside. After paying Jerry Jeudy in the offseason and seeing the emergence of Cedric Tillman, Lacy gives them a dominent X who can win against man coverage and round out a strong pass-catching unit when accounting for David Njoku at TE. – Rob Gregson
36. Las Vegas Raiders: Omarion Hampton, RB North Carolina
Hampton is my favorite running back in this class and he's got a diverse skill set to thrive in any offense. He would be a great pair with a growing Shedeur Sanders selected at fourth overall. – Tyler Forness
37. New York Giants: Aireontae Ersery, OT Minnesota
There is a huge hole at right tackle for the Giants, and Ersery has the size, length, and power to be an asset in the run and pass game. He's a welcomed presence to protect their new QB selected in round one, Jalen Milroe. – Ryan Roberts
38. New England Patriots: Tre Harris, WR Ole Miss
After securing the best OL in the class, New England gives a big-body, athletic wide receiver to Drake Maye in the second round. All in on Maye. – Jon Helmkamp
39. New York Jets: Tyler Booker, IOL Alabama
The Jets landed the top CB in the draft in the first round and now I have them adding the top interior offensive lineman in the 2025 class. They may not know who their QB will be but Booker will be a solid addition to protect them from day one. – Destin Adams
40. Chicago Bears (via CAR): Marcus Mbow, IOL Purdue
Able to play tackle, guard, or center, Marcus Mbow naturally slides into the left guard spot that has become a significant problem for Caleb Williams and the Bears. Mbow has the strength to be trusted on an island and the athleticism to grow into a long-term starter. – Ian Valentino
41. Dallas Cowboys: Elic Ayomanor, WR Stanford
After addressing the defense in round one, it's time for Dallas to add more talent to its offense. Ayomanor's production hasn't been noteworthy this season, but that's an indictment of Stanford's offense more than his talent. Turn on the tape and you see an intriguing blend of size, speed, and route running ability that translate right away into the NFL. – AJ Schulte
42. New Orleans Saints: Deone Walker, DL Kentucky
Deone Walker is a massive mountain of a man who can win anywhere along the defensive front at 6'6", 350 pounds. He should bring a much-needed havoc factor to the Saints up front. – Travis May
43. Cincinnati Bengals: Denzel Burke, CB Ohio State
The Bengals' defense has been the main reason for their struggles in 2024. After selecting a premier talent at EDGE in round one, addressing the secondary with a fundamentally sound CB like Burke gives them two immediate starters in as many rounds. – Rob Gregson
44. Miami Dolphins: Nick Emmanwori, S South Carolina
With Jevon Holland likely hitting free agency due to the Dolphins' financial constraints, getting some help on the back end should be a focus. Even if Holland stays, adding Emmanwori would be a versatile chess piece to utilize. – Tyler Forness
45. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Maxwell Hairston, CB Kentucky
With the Buccaneers getting pass rush help in the first round, they find their cornerback in the second round. Hairston has been banged up, but is very talented when healthy. His short area quickness, ball skills, and instincts would be very welcomed on the back end for Tampa Bay. – Ryan Roberts
46. Chicago Bears: Dontay Corleone, DL Cincinnati
A big force in the middle of the defensive interior would be a great add for Chicago. He's physical and wreaks havoc. – Jon Helmkamp
47. Indianapolis Colts: Xavier Watts, S Notre Dame
The Colts got their TE in the first so defense was the main priority for this pick. There were a few options to consider but I landed on the ball hawk safety out of Notre Dame, Xavier Watts. With Julian Blackmon set to hit free agency, Watts is an option to replace him and take over the team's free safety job. – Destin Adams
48. Seattle Seahawks: Mike Green, EDGE Marshall
A rising edge-rusher, Mike Green has the size (6'4", 250 pounds) and insane production worth paying attention to. Seattle can afford to take a little bit of a project to develop, and Green has a higher athletic upside than others. – Ian Valentino
49. Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Kyle Kennard, EDGE South Carolina
The Panthers added an offensive playmaker in round one, and now need to shore up their defense. With one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL, the Panthers have to invest heavily in this unit in the offseason. Kennard is tremendously quick off the snap, and teams will appreciate his motor and good pass rush move set. – AJ Schulte
50. San Francisco 49ers: Jihaad Campbell, LB Alabama
Pairing Jihaad Campbell with Fred Warner would be unfair. Campbell is good at everything from coverage, to tackle consistency, to even getting after the passer. The 49ers current LB2 De'Vondre Campbell? He's terrible. – Travis May
51. Denver Broncos: Tate Ratledge, IOL Georgia
Sean Payton believes in building offensive lines from the inside out. He did it for years in New Orleans with Drew Brees, and if he thinks Bo Nix is his next Drew Brees, then continuing that trend seems obvious with a stout interior protector like Ratledge. – Rob Gregson
52. Atlanta Falcons: T.J. Sanders, DL South Carolina
The Falcons need help all over the defensive line. Getting a talented player in Sanders to play next to Grady Jarrett would be a beneficial thing for the Falcons. – Tyler Forness
53. Houston Texans: Emery Jones, OT LSU
Offensive line has been an issue for the Texans so far this season. Right tackle could get upgraded, as could inside at guard. Jones has the physical tools to play either on the next level. – Ryan Roberts
54. Arizona Cardinals: Kevin Winston Jr., S Penn State
The safety position continues to be good, not great, with depth and development being a concern. Enter Winston, a reliable tackler that McDermott would covet in his two-high scheme. – Jon Helmkamp
55. Washington Commanders: Landon Jackson, EDGE Arkansas
Dan Quinn likes big dudes, and Landon Jackson is a steal at this point. The 6'7", 280-pounder is one of the most productive players in the nation and can make an impact on day one. – Ian Valentino
56. Baltimore Ravens: Donovan Jackson, IOL Ohio State
Powerfully built with elite length, Donovan Jackson hasn't hit his ceiling yet. Baltimore is a good place to flip him to right guard and unlock a Pro Bowl athletic ceiling. – Ian Valentino
57. Los Angeles Chargers: Grey Zabel, IOL North Dakota State
The Chargers double-dip on the offense here to continue building around Justin Herbert. They have their tackles set with Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, but they need to boost the interior of their offensive line. Many scouts believe Zabel, who plays tackle for the Bison, is best suited inside at guard or center, and has plenty of upside to be a quality starter at the next level. – AJ Schulte
58. Green Bay Packers: Shemar Turner, DL Texas A&M
At 6'4", 300 pounds Shemar Turner moves with much greater burst and fluidity than he should at that size. Plus he's versatile enough to win at edge rusher or punch interior lineman hard in the b-gap for the Packers. – Travis May
59. Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinshon Judkins, RB Ohio State
With Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both in the final year of their rookie deals, the Steelers will look to replenish the unit in the draft. Judkins fits the bill in terms of what the Steelers want at RB, with the size and speed requisite of a lead back. – Rob Gregson
60. Buffalo Bills (via MIN): Azareye'h Thomas, CB Florida State
The Bills could use multiple positions at this point in the draft. They pick again at 62, where nose tackle could be the pick. So here at pick 60 they get an athletic cornerback in Thomas who can do a little bit of everything for you. With the cornerback room how it's currently constructed, Thomas would get an opportunity to develop. – Tyler Forness
61. Philadelphia Eagles: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT Arizona
It's unclear how Savaiinaea fell this far, but the Eagles may have found their long term answer at right guard. He may even be able to be the heir apparent at right tackle to Lane Johnson whenever he retires as well. – Ryan Roberts
62. Buffalo Bills: Jordan Burch, EDGE Oregon
The Bills love hyper-athletic pass rushers either size and a motor. Jordan Burch falling to them at 62 is a dream scenario. – Jon Helmkamp
63. Kansas City Chiefs: Tacario Davis, CB Arizona
Back to back defense picks for the Chiefs. This time they target their secondary. They moved on from L’Jarius Sneed this offseason so finding a CB with potential to develop into an every week starter is certainly a need. Arizona’s Tacario Davis is an intriguing prospect whose coverage ability and elite length at the position could get him some first round love throughout the draft cycle if he declares. – Destin Adams
64. Detroit Lions: Josh Conerly Jr., OT Oregon
Detroit eventually wants to replace Taylor Decker, and Josh Conerly Jr. gives the Lions a good body to develop. Conerly has solid athleticism and positional versatility if Giovanni Manu ends up being the better option at tackle. – Ian Valentino
