The NFL Draft is now less than two months away. The NFL Combine just wrapped up. All that really remains in the 2025 NFL Draft process now are pro days and on-site visits with teams for top prospects. The true consensus big boards are beginning to form, but the NFL Combine certainly led to some surprising changes.

We asked eight of our NFL Draft contributors here at A to Z Sports to put together our sixth collaborative 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the year, taking turns selecting for all 32 NFL teams to help find the new post-NFL Combine consensus.

This time, we again went three rounds deep. Our team of draft analysts utilized detailed film analysis, meaningful metrics, and intel from NFL staffers to help inform every selection. Enjoy!


3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft

Round One

1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB Miami (FL)

It's becoming more clear by the day that Cam Ward is the clear QB1 in the 2025 NFL Draft class. The Titans are not going to waste any more time on the Will Levis experiment. If Tennessee does hold onto this pick instead of trading it away they'll get their new franchise QB coming off one of the most impressive seasons of any college quarterback in 2024. – Travis May


2. Cleveland Browns: Abdul Carter, EDGE Penn State

I'm still not sure just how much I buy the Browns' interest in any quarterback in such a down class. With Myles Garrett's desire to leave the team, they need a dynamite replacement on the defensive side of the ball to build their unit around. Abdul Carter gives them just that. – AJ Schulte


3. New York Giants: Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado

Pairing Shedeur Sanders with Aaron Rodgers is a fool-proof plan, right? The Giants have a ton of roster needs to consider, but throwing multiple assets towards fixing the quarterback position now and in the future is necessary. I trust Brian Daboll to get the most out of Sanders and maximize his cerebral nature. – Ian Valentino


4. New England Patriots: Travis Hunter, CB/WR Colorado

The Patriots have a big need at wide receiver this offseason. They could also be in a position to take best player available, and Hunter has an argument as just that on either side of the football. – Ryan Roberts


5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Will Campbell, OT LSU

Trevor Lawrence is now on his third head coach despite only having a bachelor’s degree worth of NFL experience. With some promising skill position players in Jacksonville, providing adequate protection for Lawrence should be priority number one for the new regime. – Rob Gregson 


6. Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State

The Raiders swung and missed on trying to land Matthew Stafford and watched the top two QBs in the class go ahead of their selection here. Instead of forcing a QB pick they land a dynamic RB in Ashton Jeanty. He can help build a strong foundation on offense for whoever the Raiders future franchise QB is. – Destin Adams 


7. New York Jets: Mason Graham, DT Michigan

Some are going to have questions about Graham weighing in at 296 lbs when he was listed at 320, and his arms are on the short side, but he's still an incredibly disruptive player with one of the easiest evaluations in this class. The Jets get a difference maker. – Jon Helmkamp

8. Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona

Bryce Young needs weapons to throw to on the outside and McMillan has the rare size/YAC ability combination. – Tyler Forness

9. New Orleans Saints: Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M

Shemar Stewart tested like the 99th percentile athlete we thought he was at the NFL Combine. Saints need to get younger on the edge and they swing for the fences with elite athletic upside, despite an imperfect pass rush rate stats profile from Stewart. – Travis May

10. Chicago Bears: Jalon Walker, LB Georgia

The Bears' need to continue investing in their pass rush in a big way if they want to compete in arguably the toughest division in the NFL. Jalon Walker's projection varies by team, but elite athletes tend to work themselves out here. – AJ Schulte 

11. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Simmons, OT Ohio State

Staying strong in the trenches is key for San Francisco to rebound from a tough 2024 season. Josh Simmons would be viewed as the consensus OT1 in the class if he hadn't torn his ACL mid-season. He can play right tackle in 2025 before taking over for Trent Williams once the king retires. – Ian Valentino

12. Dallas Cowboys: Luther Burden, WR Missouri

CeeDee Lamb is an outstanding wide receiver, but he desperately needs a partner in crime. Burden is a space dynamo whose game is very similar to former Lions star Golden Tate. – Ryan Roberts 

13. Miami Dolphins: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT Texas

With Terron Armstead likely gone and an offensive line that has been sub-par for years, the Dolphins can shore up the most important position in football and get closer to cooling off the hot seats that the Dolphins' brass are sitting on. – Rob Gregson 

14. Indianapolis Colts: Will Johnson, CB Michigan

If Will Johnson was able to declare after the 2023 season he probably would have been a top 10 pick. However, Michigan's struggles and his injury issues in 2024 have caused some wild prospect fatigue. If Johnson is somehow on the board at 14 I think the Colts would have to consider taking the talented cornerback. He would instantly become their top outside CB. – Destin Adams

15. Atlanta Falcons: Mykel Williams, EDGE Georgia

A year after the Falcons elected to skip pass rush in favor of Michael Penix Jr., they land an absolute force from their own backyard in Georgia's Mykel Williams. This would be a home run pick that would give the fanbase a jolt of energy, and maybe even belief in a successful future. – Jon Helmkamp

16. Arizona Cardinals: Kenneth Grant, DT Michigan

Is there a better fit for the Cardinals in the trenches than Kenneth Grant? He's a big body with freaky athletic gifts that can play all across the defensive line. – Tyler Forness

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Tyler Warren, TE Penn State

Cincinnati completes a dangerous trio of offensive weapons for Joe Burrow here. They have Ja'Marr Chase locked up. Tee Higgins got the franchise tag. Now they lock in a special receiving threat and every-down tight end option too in Tyler Warren. This will be the best set of weapons Burrow has had in his career. – Travis May

18. Seattle Seahawks: Colston Loveland, TE Michigan

If the Seahawks want to remodel their offense, they should find an upgrade at tight end to open up the middle of the field and give themselves another playmaker on offense. Colston Loveland fits that need and would give new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak a treasure trove of weapons to work with in Seattle. – AJ Schulte

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Pearce Jr., EDGE Tennessee

There are concerns about James Pearce's lanky frame and whether he's tough enough to be a three-down asset, but the film is great. The speediest pass-rusher in the class fills an immediate need for Tampa Bay and will benefit from playing next to Vita Vea. – Ian Valentino 

20. Denver Broncos – Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State

Continuing to build the offense around quarterback Bo Nix is very important. Emeka Egbuka brings a dependable slot presence with underrated YAC skills. – Ryan Roberts 

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Walter Nolen, DT Ole Miss

There are a lot of positions being mocked to the Steelers at 21. Not nearly enough of them are defensive linemen. A Steelers team that has shown no issue when it comes to selecting some characters, the Steelers would be happy with Walter Nolen if all checks out in the pre-draft process. – Rob Gregson

22. Los Angeles Chargers – Omarion Hampton, RB North Carolina

I can't stop thinking about Omarion Hampton with the Chargers. His NFL Combine performance was effortless, posting a 4.47 40-yard dash at 5'11" 221 lbs. He's a stud, and would bring an element to the Chargers that would fit beautifully in Jim Harbaugh's system. – Jon Helmkamp 

23. Green Bay Packers – Shavon Revel Jr., CB East Carolina

The Packers are expected to either trade or release veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander this offseason. This draft class has multiple intriguing CB options they could consider to replace him quickly. Shavon Revel's tape is fantastic and if it wasn't for him tearing his ACL early in the season he probably hears his name called much earlier than this. – Destin Adams 

24. Minnesota Vikings: Nick Emmanwori, S South Carolina

The most athletic safety in the NFL Draft who is also a versatile chess piece goes to the one place that will maximize his abilities. It's also a great fit, as the Vikings are in a position to revamp their entire secondary. – Tyler Forness

25. Houston Texans: Malaki Starks, S Georgia

Malaki Starks didn't test well at the NFL Combine, but NFL teams still understand the multiple skill set and leadership that he brings. The Texans get a do-it-all defensive back who can line up anywhere in the defensive backfield for them. – Malaki Starks

26. Los Angeles Rams: Armand Membou, OT Missouri

The Rams were wise to bring left tackle Alaric Jackson back on a three-year deal, but the future of right tackle is still wide open, as Rob Havenstein seems destined for retirement soon. Los Angeles steps up with an in-house replacement (and upgrade) that falls right into their laps here. – AJ Schulte

27. Baltimore Ravens: Derrick Harmon, DT Oregon

Baltimore's defensive line is getting a bit long in the tooth, so injecting a high-end role player who can grow into a bigger role makes sense. Derrick Harmon was the most productive pass-rusher in the nation last year and is coming off a great NFL Combine. Slam dunk pick. – Ian Valentino

28. Detroit Lions – Princely Umanmielen, EDGE Ole Miss

The Lions could use a bookend on the other side of Aidan Hutchinson. When Umanmielen is locked in, he's an extremely gifted pass rusher. – Ryan Roberts 

29. Washington Commanders: Matthew Golden, WR Texas

The Commanders may have just traded for Deebo Samuel, but that shouldn't preclude them from adding one of the best WRs in the draft and giving Jayden Daniels another vertical element on the perimeter. – Rob Gregson

30. Buffalo Bills: Jahdae Barron, CB Texas

The Bills need defensive line, secondary, and wide receiver help. They see three players go in succession before their pick in this mock that they likely have very high on their board. Waiting for them here is Jahdae Barron, a versatile and explosive corner that Sean McDermott would thoroughly enjoy having. – Jon Helmkamp

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Josh Conerly Jr., OT Oregon

The Chiefs had an awful case of Deja Vu as their offensive line couldn't hold up during a Super Bowl and it led to a blow out loss. Oregon's Josh Conerly Jr. is a talented player and would be able to compete and probably be the favorite to win the Chiefs day one starting spot at left tackle. – Destin Adams 

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Mike Green, EDGE Marshall

The Eagles are a team that is willing to draft a player who has some potential red flags, as well as an obsession with selecting trench players. Green can step in to immediately be a rotational player and eventually a starter. – Tyler Forness


Round Two

33. Cleveland Browns: Tyler Booker, IOL Alabama

Tyler Booker had a disappointing NFL Combine performance, but scouts and sources from NFL teams around the league are still incredibly bullish on him. Booker may be the best offensive lineman regardless of position in this class. The Browns getting him to start off round two is stealing, and only possible because he's a guard. – Travis May

34. New York Giants: Maxwell Hairston, CB Kentucky

Deonte Banks and Andru Phillips have had promising moments in New York, but the other outside cornerback spot has plagued the Giants' defense two seasons in a row. Hairston's traits and ball skills can solve that need right away. – AJ Schulte 

35. Tennessee Titans: Donovan Jackson, OL Ohio State

Donovan Jackson's finish to the 2024 season switching to offensive tackle was impressive. He likely offers immediate starter upside at both guard and tackle now given his experience and unique abilities. – Ian Valentino

36. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tyleik Williams, DT Ohio State

The Jaguars need some increased physicality and tenacity up front defensively. Tyleik Williams is a high end run defender with an impressive floor. – Ryan Roberts

37. Las Vegas Raiders: Wyatt Milum, OT West Virginia

You honestly can't go wrong with any position when it comes to the Raiders offense. The team needs a lot of help. They start here by building a strong foundation up front, especially after taking Jeanty in round one. This is the way to go here. – Rob Gregson

38. New England Patriots: Aireontae Ersery, OT Minnesota

The Patriots landed Travis Hunter to fill a need at WR and CB in round one. So here they focus on improving their offensive line and add Minnesota's Aireontae Ersery who would be a day one starter to help protect Drake Maye. – Destin Adams 

39. Chicago Bears (via CAR): Cameron Williams, OT Texas

Rule number one for the Bears: protect Caleb Williams. Ben Johnson's offense needs to overhaul their offense line, and they get a big OL out of Texas to help with that. – Jon Helmkamp

40. New Orleans Saints: Tre Harris, WR Ole Miss

The Saints need size on the outside and someone to develop in case Chris Olave doesn't ever get back to normal due to his concussion history. Harris has been successful on the outside and is a traditional X receiver. – Tyler Forness

41. Chicago Bears: Jihaad Campbell, LB Alabama

Jihaad Campbell tested as a 94th percentile athlete among off-ball linebackers at the NFL Combine, confirming his freaky upside. The Bears get a player who can cover off the ball, but then rush from the edge with efficiency as well. – Travis May

42. New York Jets: Elic Ayomanor, WR Stanford

With the Jets releasing Davante Adams (and soon to do the same for Allen Lazard), the wide receiver room is rail thin. Elic Ayomanor is a terrific vertical threat and route runner with valuable blocking ability that new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand can deploy across the formation. – AJ Schulte

43. San Francisco 49ers: Omarr Norman-Lott DT Tennessee

We stay in the trenches in Round 2. Omarr Norman-Lott was a super sub at Tennessee but still outpaced most of his peers in pass-rush production. Incredibly quick with strong hands and positional versatility, he'll be a grower at the next level as he gets more opportunities. – Ian Valentino 

44. Dallas Cowboys: Kaleb Johnson, RB Iowa

Rico Dowdle did a solid job for the Cowboys in 2024, but he can be upgraded. Johnson is a very patient runner with good levels of foot quickness and power. – Ryan Roberts 

45. Indianapolis Colts: Mason Taylor, TE LSU

The Colts passed on tight end in Round 1 in favor of adding Will Johnson to become a foundational piece of their defense. They address TE here by adding LSU's Mason Taylor who was arguably the best TE at both the Senior Bowl and the Scouting Combine. – Destin Adams 

46. Atlanta Falcons: Azareye'h Thomas CB Florida State

The Falcons need help opposite A.J. Terrell and Raheem Morris does his best work when he has two corners that he knows can lock down the field. Thomas has the makings of being that kind of player in the NFL. – Rob Gregson

47. Arizona Cardinals: Darius Alexander, DT Toledo

Darius Alexander has the potential to go quite a bit higher than this. Just shy of 6'4" and 305 lbs, Alexander tore up the Senior Bowl. The Cardinals need more disruptors along the DL, and Alexander provides that in spades. – Jon Helmkamp

48. Miami Dolphins: Grey Zabel, OL North Dakota State

Offensive line is a problem for the Dolphins and has been for some time despite the amount of assets they've put into the position group. Zabel can play all across the line, which will allow the Dolphins to put him in the best spot for their best five. – Tyler Forness

49. Cincinnati Bengals: Nic Scourton, EDGE Texas A&M

Nic Scourton shed some weight heading into the combine, putting to bed concerns about his weight issues. He came in around 260 pounds which is about where he played when he was most dominant at Purdue. The monstrous pass rush upside is too much to miss out on here for the Bengals. – Travis May

50. Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Mbow, OL Purdue

With Seattle leaning into outside zone, they need to find elite athletes along the offensive line. Whether Mbow is inside at guard or out at right tackle, Mbow is a perfect fit in this offense and would upgrade Seattle's blocking tremendously. – AJ Schulte

51. Denver Broncos: TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State

Going back to the Ohio State well in Round 2 works because Denver desperately needs explosiveness. TreVeyon Henderson boasts terrific speed and is a proven three-down playmaker with his pass-blocking and receiving. – Ian Valentino

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinshon Judkins, RB Ohio State

The Steelers are going to be looking for a new bell cow in all likelihood. Quinshon Judkins not only fits the bill as a three-down back but coming off his head-turning performance at the NFL Combine, he has to be priority number one for Pittsburgh in round two of a stacked RB class. – Rob Gregson 

53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Benjamin Morrison, CB Notre Dame

Cornerback is a massive need for the Buccaneers this offseason. While Morrison has his questions, he is still a gifted cover man that has played a lot of man coverage. – Ryan Roberts 

54. Green Bay Packers: Tate Ratledge, OL Georgia

I'll just leave this one to Gutekunst: "We're always going to continue to address the offensive line because there's just never enough of them." He's telling you what he's going to do, and when a talented SEC offensive lineman is available, he takes him. – Jon Helmkamp

55. Los Angeles Chargers: Elijah Arroyo, TE Miami (FL)

The Chargers need to land a legit receiving threat at TE for Jim Harbaugh's offense. And the team has been searching for that long before he became their head coach. If they selected Miami's Elijah Arroyo he'd instantly be one of the best tight ends Justin Herbert has ever played with and has the potential to become the best. – Destin Adams 

56. Buffalo Bills (via MIN): TJ Sanders, DT South Carolina

The Bills need someone on the interior to pair with Ed Oliver and Sanders has the juice to be a difference maker next to him. – Tyler Forness

57. Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE Boston College

The Panthers need better edge rushers and Donovan Ezeiruaku should not still be on the board here. He showcased excellent fluidity and overall impressive athleticism at the NFL Combine coming in around the 91st percentile as an edge rusher athlete. – Travis May

58. Houston Texans: Carson Schwesinger, LB UCLA

Houston's linebacker room has names, but the play of the unit is limited in coverage, and teams ruthlessly exploited it all season long. They should add an upgrade or two in the middle to address that problem, and Carson Schwesinger can do just that. – AJ Schulte

59. Baltimore Ravens: Jonah Savaiinaea, OL Arizona

Adding an elite athlete to Baltimore's offensive line is a recipe for pancakes. The Ravens' guard play slipped in 2024 and they could use a new starter at each spot. Jonah Savaiinaea is raw but will benefit from moving inside from tackle. – Ian Valentino

60. Detroit Lions: Emery Jones Jr., OL, LSU

Some will view Jones as an offensive tackle, but his best fit does seem to be inside. His power, flexibility, and impact in the run game is impressive. – Ryan Roberts 

61. Washington Commanders: Deone Walker, DL Kentucky

The Commanders look like they are headed for a split with DT Jonathan Allen and will look to replenish what is quietly a strength for the team. Deone Walker will do exactly that, and in a spot where he probably belongs. – Rob Gregson

62. Buffalo Bills: Jayden Higgins, WR Iowa State

The Bills go cornerback in Round 1. Now they get Jayden Higgins in Round 2, providing them with a stellar outside threat who stands at 6'4", tested beautifully for his size at the NFL Combine. He has the production profile, and gives the Bills a genuine boundary wide receiver. This allows Buffalo to move Keon Coleman in off the line. Higgins with Josh Allen would be a force. – Jon Helmkamp

63. Kansas City Chiefs: Quincy Riley, CB Louisville

Quincy Riley was one of the most dominant cornerbacks at the Senior Bowl this year. He shined in one-on-one's and showed he is an underrated CB in this class. The Chiefs moved on from L'Jarius Sneed ahead of the 2024 season and could use another difference maker in their secondary for 2025. – Destin Adams 

64. Philadelphia Eagles: Alfred Collins, DT Texas

The Eagles love to draft defensive linemen and adding Collins who is already an elite run defender with some growth potential in rushing the passer is a smart move for the reigning Super Bowl champions. – Tyler Forness

Round Three

65. New York Giants: Isaiah Bond, WR Texas

Isaiah Bond may have been a bit delusional saying he was going to break the forty-yard dash record, but 4.39 seconds is plenty fast. He had an up and down career, but the route running and burst is worth a shot around the second-third round turn for the Giants. – Travis May

66. Kansas City Chiefs (via TEN): Jalen Royals, WR Utah State

It's tough to figure out the direction of Kansas City's offense, but surrounding Patrick Mahomes with more weapons is never a bad suggestion. Jalen Royals is a menace after the catch and can be a reliable playmaker outside. – AJ Schulte 

67. Cleveland Browns: Jaxson Dart, QB Ole Miss

I'm shocked Jaxson Dart is still available here, and this would be a stunning outcome if he slips outside of the top 40 picks next month. Cleveland gets the best possible outcome in this scenario, landing a viable young starter to develop alongside an incredibly talented rookie class. – Ian Valentino

68. Las Vegas Raiders: Jaylin Noel, WR Iowa State

The Raiders need to find some offensive weapons, and quickly. Noel is the ideal slot receiver in the NFL, possessing tremendous nuance and explosiveness to make some big plays. – Ryan Roberts 

69. New England Patriots: Xavier Watts, S Notre Dame

The Patriots need more ball hawks on defense. Christian Gonzalez is an excellent shutdown corner, so adding a middle-of-the-field player with the instincts to take the ball away in a New York minute makes a lot of sense for New England. – Rob Gregson

70. Jacksonville Jaguars: Darien Porter, CB Iowa State

One of the biggest winners of the Scouting Combine was Iowa State cornerback Darien Porter. He boasts elite size and athleticism for the cornerback position. As a converted wide receiver his ball skills will excite teams. – Destin Adams 

71. New Orleans Saints: Jamaree Caldwell, DT Oregon

The Saints need help on the interior of the defensive line, and Oregon's Jamaree Caldwell, who looked good in field drills at 332 lbs, is there waiting for them. Caldwell is a true nose tackle, able to absorb double teams and shed to find the ball carrier. – Jon Helmkamp

72. Chicago Bears: Charles Grant, OT William & Mary

The Bears need to address the offensive line. Getting Charles Grant, who can play both tackle and guard with the athleticism to play in zone concepts in round three is a good bet. – Tyler Forness

73. Las Vegas Raiders (via NYJ): Jalen Milroe, QB Alabama

The Raiders have to leave the 2025 NFL Draft with a quarterback. If it's Round 1, great. Round 2, sure. But if they don't have one by this point and Jalen Milroe is somehow on the board taking a chance on the physical traits is a no-brainer. Mobile threat. Deep shot specialist. This price point is easy. – Travis May

74. Carolina Panthers: Gunnar Helm, TE Texas

Dave Canales made some intriguing points at the NFL Combine about the importance of a tight end and adding as many weapons as possible. – AJ Schulte 

75. San Francisco 49ers: Chris Paul Jr., LB Ole Miss

Some were disappointed with Chris Paul's combine, but his athleticism matched his film. San Francisco has to to improve it's point-of-attack defense, and Paul has three-down impact ability early in his career. – Ian Valentino

76. Dallas Cowboys: Shemar Turner, DT Texas A&M

The Cowboys opt to keep Turner in the home state. After beginning his career on the edge, Turner eventually developed into a versatile interior lineman for the Aggies. – Ryan Roberts 

77. New England Patriots (via ATL): Jordan Burch, EDGE Oregon

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel knows first-hand how valuable edge rushers are and Jordan Burch seems like the kind of player that Vrabel and his staff would covet. Adding talent to the defense will be a priority in New England. – Rob Gregson

78. Arizona Cardinals: Tory Horton, WR Colorado State

Horton is being overlooked after suffering a season-ending knee injury and he proved that by running in the 4.4s and performing well in the drills. He can do everything for you at wide receiver and that flexibility will be huge for the Cardinals – Tyler Forness 

79. Washington Commanders (via MIA): Jared Wilson, IOL Georgia

Jared Wilson is a true plug-and-play center that registered with a 98th percentile athleticism score. Center is a position that the Commanders could benefit in upgrading. Wilson could compete for the starting job in year one. He's ready to go. – Jon Helmkamp

80. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Mukuba, S Texas

The board fell well for the Colts in this mock as they were able to address arguably their three biggest needs and likely landed three day one starters. Texas' Andrew Mukuba tested well at the NFL Combine and has the ability to play either safety spot. He would fit well in Lou Anarumo's scheme. – Destin Adams 

81. Cincinnati Bengals: Trey Amos, CB Ole Miss

Trey Amos didn't test poorly, but he also wasn't particularly special at the NFL Combine. He's a great perimeter corner with success at three different schools. The Bengals might need more help at nickel, but shifting an option or two that they already have inside may be a great move to get the most out of a pure shut down outside guy like Amos. – Travis May

82. Seattle Seahawks: Joshua Farmer, DT Florida State

Seattle loses its two main interior defensive tackles in free agency, opening up their nose tackle/1T roles. Joshua Farmer's size and explosiveness make him a candidate to start on day one in either of those roles. – AJ Schulte 

83. Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinn Ewers, QB Texas

Barring a slide from Shedeur Sanders, the Steelers will be going anywhere but QB in round one. But they have been doing their homework on QBs in the mid rounds, including Quinn Ewers. – Rob Gregson

84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Savion Williams, WR TCU

Massive frame, YAC weapon, alignment versatility… what's not to like? With the future of Chris Godwin is question, finding talented pass catchers could be a priority. – Ryan Roberts 

85. Denver Broncos: Jeffrey Bassa, LB Oregon

A phenomenal open-space athlete who can drop into coverage and rush the passer, Jeffrey Bassa fits the defensive weapon role. Denver has developed some defensive enigmas with success, and Bassa's movement ability gives him a chance to be a big hit. – Ian Valentino

86. Los Angeles Chargers: Jared Ivey, EDGE Ole Miss

You can never have too many pass rushers, and with the futures of Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack uncertain, you can bet the Chargers will be selecting at least one in this draft class. – Jon Helmkamp

87. Green Bay Packers: Jack Sawyer, EDGE Ohio State

The Packers could use a difference maker on the edge and Jack Sawyer showed up big when the lightest were the brightest in the College Football Playoff. He isn't an elite athlete by any means but he possesses elite leadership and a next level work ethic. Jack Sawyer simply isn't a person I'd bet against, and if he is on the board in the third round I think he's worth the investment for the Packers. – Destin Adams 

88. Jacksonville Jaguars (via MIN): Danny Stutsman, LB Oklahoma

The Jaguars struck it out with both Devin Lloyd and Chad Muma, hoping they would take the leap, but now they need to address off-ball linebacker. Stutsman is a throwback linebacker with plenty of juice to play in space. – Tyler Forness

89. Houston Texans: Landon Jacskon, EDGE Arkansas

The Texans have a strong one-two punch with Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter locked up short-term, but Jackson gives them depth and significant options to consider beyond 2025. He tested as a 95th percentile edge rusher at the NFL Combine. No way he should drop beyond this point in the 2025 NFL Draft even if his rate stats are questionable. – Travis May

90. Los Angeles Rams: Jack Bech, WR TCU

I worry about the Rams adding too much of the same kind of wide receiver, but with how quickly the class dried up here, they need talented bodies at wide receiver at this point. Jack Bech is a natural fit for what the Rams have targeted at wide receiver under Sean McVay. – AJ Schulte

91. Baltimore Ravens: Terrance Ferguson, TE Oregon

Mark Andrews is in decline, so Baltimore shouldn't waste much time in adding someone who can either split snaps with him in 2025 or at least start developing as a replacement. Terrance Ferguson is a good enough blocker to play alongside Isaiah Likely. – Ian Valentino 

92. New York Jets (via DET): Tyler Shough, QB Louisville

Aaron Rodgers is set to find a new team, meaning the quarterback position is vital for the Jets to figure out. Shough may not end up being anything more than a good backup, but that's still a sound investment in this spot. – Ryan Roberts 

93. New Orleans Saints (via WAS): Jabbar Muhammad, CB Oregon

The Saints need to shore up the corner position after trading away Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders. They use the pick they received from Washington to do exactly that. – Rob Gregson 

94. Cleveland Browns (via BUF): Tai Felton, WR Maryland

Tai Felton is really, really fast. The Brown start this draft with an elite pass rusher in Abdul Carter, get their future at quarterback in Round 2 with Jaxson Dart, and add a young speedster to the wide receiver room in Round 3 with Tai Felton. Talk about a good day at the office. – Jon Helmkamp

95. Kansas City Chiefs: Harold Fannin Jr., TE Bowling Green

Following their Super Bowl loss there was real concern that Travis Kelce might have played his final downs in the NFL. Thankfully for the Chiefs he will likely be back in 2025 but it seems like the time is now for the Chiefs to find his figure replacement. Harold Fannin Jr. had one of the best seasons college football has ever seen from a tight end in 2024. There are some question marks surrounding his skill set but if anyone can figure out those answers it's Andy Reid. And getting to learn from and play behind Travis Kelce for at least a year wouldn't hurt either. – Destin Adams 

96. Philadelphia Eagles: Cobee Bryant, CB Kansas

After moving on from both Darius Slay (who could return) and James Bradberry, the Eagles need to fortify their cornerback room. Bryant is a feisty player with great ball skills who can play both outside and inside. – Tyler Forness

97. Minnesota Vikings (proj. comp.): DJ Giddens, RB Kansas State

Giddens had a second round grade from me before the NFL Scouting Combine and his testing strengthened that belief. The Vikings get a better player than Kaleb Johnson 53 picks later. – Tyler Forness

98. Miami Dolphins (proj. comp.): Ricky White III, WR UNLV Rob Gregson

The Dolphins need a third wide receiver in the worst way. Ricky White is a solid option to play the slot and fits the high-flying offense that Miami is looking to get back to in 2025. – Rob Gregson 

99. San Francisco 49ers (proj. comp.): Will Howard, QB Ohio State

Adding a more dynamic option like Jalen Milroe would've been ideal, but Will Howard is a winner who can win if he has to step in for Brock Purdy. The 49ers have to take the backup QB spot more seriously than rostering Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen. – Ian Valentino 

100. Los Angeles Rams (proj. comp.): Nohl Williams, CB California

The Rams desperately need size and ball skills on the outside of their defense. Nohl Williams fits perfectly as a seamless fit in their zone-heavy coverage scheme. – AJ Schulte

101. Detroit Lions (proj. comp.): Demetrius Knight Jr., LB South Carolina

The Lions are clearly in the linebacker market. They would have loved for Chris Paul to have been on the board, but the range and physicality of Knight isn't a bad consolation prize. – Ryan Roberts
