We are officially a day away from the first night of the 2025 NFL Draft. The hype and anticipation is at an all-time high for this year's draft. 

Myself and Rob Gregson have unveiled one final 2-round 2025 NFL mock draft. Check out every selection below.

2-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft

Round One

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

It’s been a lock since the Senior Bowl at this point, and if the Titans take longer than one minute to submit the pick of Cam Ward at first overall on Thursday night, Roger Goodell needs to just go up and announce the pick. In all seriousness, a new era starts in Nashville with the best passer in the draft. — Gregson

2. Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

One of the top two prospects in the class lands with Cleveland. Hunter's versatility is really impressive, and he will immediately step into a role on both sides of the football for the Browns as a rookie. 

3. New York Giants: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

It’s been tough to pin down what the Giants will do at three, and I don't think a QB is off the board. I could see a reverse of the Texans trade in 2023, where New York takes the pass rusher first and then trades up to four to take Shedeur Sanders. For now, though, Carter to New York feels like the pick. — Gregson

4. New England Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

This pick feels more and more likely every day. It's hard to see New England taking a different route with this selection in the top 5.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

The Jaguars have been mocked Mason Graham so much that it makes you wonder if that’s really the pick. Instead of watching the Raiders take Jeanty, the Jaguars give Trevor Lawrence another weapon and find their next Maurice Jones-Drew. — Gregson

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Membou continues to climb. With Jeanty off the board, they shift to another intriguing need for their offense. 

7. New York Jets: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

A TE is a common pick here for NYJ in the mock draft landscape, but Justin Fields needs protection in order to play much less thrive. OTs are a high-priced commodity in the NFL, and seventh overall may be a tad rich, but Banks fills a need. — Gregson

8. Carolina Panthers: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Walker is going in the top twelve. I can almost guarantee it at this point, it feels like. Carolina taking him makes plenty of sense because of their need for talent and leadership on their defensive unit. 

9. New Orleans Saints: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

If New Orleans really does not take a QB here, I think tight end or offensive line headline the potential positions they'll have their eye on. Warren is sort of the chess piece that Kellen Moore has a love for when building his offense. 

10. Chicago Bears: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The slide stops here for Graham. The Bears are solid at EDGE, but they could benefit from beefing up the interior. They do that with one of the best pure prospects in the class. — Gregson

11. San Francisco 49ers: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Feel like trenches is particularly likely for San Fran in round one. Williams has awesome traits and size. He could turn into a great duo piece alongside Nick Bosa for the 49ers.

12. Dallas Cowboys: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

I know, this pick seems chalk at this point. But A WR is a big need in Dallas, and I have Golden above MicMillan on my board. Not to mention, he brings the explosive element on the perimeter that Dallas is missing. 4.28 speed will threaten secondaries from day one. — Gregson

13. Miami Dolphins: Will Johnson, CB Michigan

Johnson may slide a bit due to injury concerns, but this fit and need blends really well. We'll see if Miami trades Jalen Ramsey sometime soon, too.

14. Indianapolis Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

The Colts have been heavily linked to a TE all cycle, and Loveland gives them a huge upgrade with serious juice in line. Whether it’s Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson at QB, having an option over the middle like Loveland is a great safety valve and weapon. — Gregson

15. Atlanta Falcons: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Pass rusher is a constant for ATL here. That feels incredibly likely on Thursday night. Green is an explosive mover that produced at a really high lvl during his collegiate days. The change in competition will be a transition, but Green has the talent to figure it out.

16. Arizona Cardinals: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

I know the Cardinals just used their first-round pick from last year on a WR, but not pairing Marvin Harrison Jr. with Tet McMilan seems unfair to Kyler Murray. Arizona would have a young nucleus on offense that could create some big plays in the desert. — Gregson

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Derrick Harmon, DT Oregon

Harmon to Cincy is one of my favorite fits. There are some recent concerns for Harmon off the field, but the on-field production speaks for itself. His pass rush ability inside is unique, especially in this class. 

18. Seattle Seahawks: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Mike Macdonald knows firsthand what a stud safety looks like during his time with the Ravens and Kyle Hamilton. He also knows how impactful they can be, and with John Schneider still in charge, don’t think he’s started too far from his Legion of Boom roots to select the best safety in the class. — Gregson

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

Stewart's mini-slide stops here. The Bucs have their eye on pass rushers, and Stewart has one of the highest ceilings in the class on the defensive side of the football. 

20. Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State

The Broncos need another weapon for their second-year signal-caller, Bo Nix. Taking an RB was tempting here, but with the top two TEs off the board, I gave Sean Payton his next great WR with the polished and pro-ready Emeka Egbuka. — Gregson

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

It came down to Hampton or Sanders for me here. I ultimately chose the running back, with the Aaron Rodgers news looming. Hampton is a gritty runner with fun burst at his size. 

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Los Angeles could use a new island corner, and drafting Barron at this point in the draft feels like a steal. I would expect the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh to sprint the card in if Barron is available at 22. — Gregson

23. Green Bay Packers: Trey Amos, CB Ole Miss

Amos matches the type of defensive back that would interest Green Bay. He tested well, uses his length effectively on film, and would have a role as a rookie, undoubtedly for GB. 

24. Minnesota Vikings: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

I know the Vikings were active in free agency, signing defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, but why not find their nose plugging DT for the next decade and rounding out what would be a devastating trio in a 3-4 with Kenneth Grant. — Gregson

25. Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Amazing value here. If his medicals completely check out, I think Simmons is the most talented OT prospect in this class. Great get for C.J. Stroud' offense.

26. Los Angeles Rams: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

At some point, the yearly game that is Matthew Stafford holding the Rams over the barrel has to come to an end for Sean McVay and Les Snead. That starts now as they end the slide on Shedeur Sanders and give the biggest name in the draft a new home in Hollywood. — Gregson

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

This is a fun fit because Ezeiruaku is not quite the type that the Ravens have taken in recent years, but he's a more productive piece off the edge. He also works his tail off against the run game. 

28. Detroit Lions: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Look, do the Lions need a quarterback right now as they come off another playoff appearance with Jared Goff? Absolutely not. But we’re about to find out just how good Goff is without Ben Johnson. Detroit can cut Goff as soon as 2026, though the dead cap would be hefty. Letting Dart sit and learn under Goff until 2027 could be the best for all parties involved. — Gregson

29. Washington Commanders: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Gave Dan Quinn an energetic, athletic chess piece here. Pretty simple though process between Washington's need and Emmanwori's value at this point. 

30. Buffalo Bills: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Buffalo needs a news field general in the middle of their defense, and there is no one better in the class at that role than Jihaad Campbell. He has the instincts, speed, and aggressiveness to be 10 10-year starter and captain on any defense. — Gregson

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Ersery is a sneaky name I see with a shot to go late in round one. He's been connected to KC for months. They grab an offensive tackle that could start in year one in front of Patrick Mahomes. 

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama

The Eagles just lost Mekhi Becton to the Chargers in free agency, and we know that GM Howie Roseman values the trenches like no other. Upgrading the position with the best interior lineman in the class would be a knockout selection by Philly. — Gregson
