The NFL Draft is just four 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 Playoff season is starting this weekend. So, what does that mean? It's time to look ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft as the next class of top prospects is taking 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. 

This time, we 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. This draft order reflects the actual current state of the 2025 NFL Draft as of this writing. Enjoy!

3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft


1. New York Giants: Cam Ward, QB Miami (FL)

The Giants kicked Daniel Jones out the door via his request so it's time to grab their new QB of the future. Ward is athletic but gutsy, unlocking an upside that I don't see in the other passers. Finally, New York will have someone exciting to root for. – Travis May

2. Las Vegas Raiders: Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado

The Raiders' experiment of Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O'Connell flopped, and now they're left without a solution at quarterback. Sanders has been making a major push at being a Raider, and he'll get his wish in this mock. – AJ Schulte

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

Travis Hunter is one of the more rare prospects in recent memory. A Heisman Trophy winner as a WR-DB, New England has their QB of the future, so pairing Hunter with Christian Gonazalez while giving Drake Maye another weapon makes too much sense for the Pats. – Rob Gregson


4. Carolina Panthers: Abdul Carter, EDGE Penn State

Carter is the best edge rusher in the class, and the Panthers have a desperate need at the position. It's a slam dunk. – Tyler Forness

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan Wolverines

The Jaguars need to get a ton better on both lines of scrimmage. Graham is an instant upgrade inside and a foundational piece for this Jaguars defense. – Ryan Roberts

6. Tennessee Titans: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

The Titans can go a variety of ways. It's possible they love a quarterback enough to move on from Levis, but as of now, I'll say they go for the top wide receiver in the class to inject some youth into the offense. – Jon Helmkamp


7. New York Jets: Will Johnson, CB Michigan

The Jets have multiple needs they could try and address here. But with the top 2 QBs off the board I have them going BPA. This lands them Michigan star CB Will Johnson to pair with Sauce Gardner.  – Destin Adams

8. Cleveland Browns: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

Cleveland will be tempted to go with any number of needs here, but reaching on a blocker or second-tier quarterback is bad business. Instead, keeping the defense rich with elite talent will serve them best. James Pearce Jr. has the highest grade left for me, boasting tremendous speed and flexibility. – Ian Valentino

9. Chicago Bears: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

The Bears could spend their pick in a different direction, but Luther Burden is a blue-chip prospect-something that is hard to pass up in a class full of question marks. With Keenan Allen departing in free agency, Chicago could get a younger upgrade and continue surrounding Caleb Williams with talented playmakers. – AJ Schulte

10. New Orleans Saints: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas

The Saints are happy to have their pick of the litter when it comes to offensive tackles here, and they select a day-one starter via Kelvin Banks. – Rob Gregson


11. Miami Dolphins: Will Campbell, OL, LSU

With the current start of the offensive line, the Dolphins could be in consideration to invest multiple times into the group. Is Campbell a tackle or a guard? It really doesn't matter in this scenario. – Ryan Roberts

12. 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 playmaker at TE. Penn State’s Tyler Warren seems to fit this role perfectly for Shane Steichen’s offense. – Destin Adams

13. Cincinnati Bengals: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

The Bengals don't have a functional running back on the roster. Chase Brown has been a cute story for a few weeks out of necessity, but he's just not good enough. His career-rushing success rate is still about 48%, and his small sample down to down success this year is dwindling. The Bengals get a true difference-maker here with Jeanty. 

Also, for those on the NEVER Round 1 RB…this is the tipping point in salary cap where the value makes sense vs. the free agent market. Jeanty's rookie cap hit will be about 4.1 million…with his entire rookie APY around 5.5 million. That's below Miles Sanders, Tony Pollard, D'Andre Swift, and 30-year-old Aaron Jones. Almost exactly on par with Devin Singletary. – Travis May

14. Dallas Cowboys: Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia

The injury to DeMarvion Overshown exposed linebacker as a major need. Plus, the Cowboys lack depth at edge rusher. Hit two birds with one stone here by taking Walker, who can do a little bit of both. – Tyler Forness


15. San Francisco 49ers: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

The 49er's defensive line, particularly along the interior, desperately needs some reinforcements if they want to regain their defensive dominance. Harmon has been a fast riser with his excellent combination of size, quickness, and power. – AJ Schulte

16. Atlanta Falcons: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Atlanta had an opportunity to pick any defensive player in the class last year and they didn't do it. Now they're averaging the fewest sacks per game of any team in the NFL. Mykel Williams stays in Georgia. – Jon Helmkamp 

17. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

A late riser after leading the nation in production, Mike Green is no longer a sleeper. Arizona lacks impact defensive playmakers, so taking a swing on the 6-foot-4, 248-pound speed rusher is a worthy gamble. Green is more refined than most would expect based on his school. – Ian Valentino


18. Seattle Seahawks: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Seahawks have a dynamic duo working out of the interior but they need more production off the edge. So I have them grabbing Texas A&M's Nic Scourton. His long frame and brute strength should help him be a 3-down contributor early into his career. – Destin Adams

19. Los Angeles Chargers: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Grant obviously has a connection to Jim Harbaugh, and it's also one of the biggest needs on the roster. Grant brings impact size and stellar upside from the middle of a defense. – Ryan Roberts

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

The Bucs are in a relationship with Baker Mayfield but they are far from married. They bet on the best pure athlete at the QB position in years to develop into a starter with this pick. – Rob Gregson


21. Los Angeles Rams: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Imagine the Rams with a functional TE to line up alongside Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Unstoppable critical down offense forever. – Travis May

22. Washington Commanders: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Getting Jayden Daniels multiple weapons needs to be a priority and Egbuka is as solid as they get. Don't let prospect fatigue hit you with Egbuka; he's got the goods. – Tyler Forness

23. Denver Broncos: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

Bo Nix has a big target in Courtland Sutton, but their WR2 position is far from locked up. Enter Bond, who would give them an elite speed presence with tremendous YAC ability for Bo Nix to continue to grow. – Jon Helmkamp

24. Baltimore Ravens: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

Baltimore's defensive front is getting older and losing some of its juice. Tyleik Williams has the toughness to fit into their culture and the quickness at 330-plus pounds to make an impact on all three downs. – Ian Valentino


25. Houston Texans: Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia

The Texans had to move Jalen Pitre to nickel after getting picked on in depth to start his career, and the combination of Eric Murray and Calen Bullock has been inconsistent at best. Houston snags a player who fell way too far to shore up their secondary and be an elite playmaker for years. – AJ Schulte

26. Pittsburgh Steelers: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

The Steelers like their corners long and physical and Revel fits that mold in a lengthy, 6-3 frame. He and Joey Porter Jr. pair perfectly alongside one another and would form a tandem of shutdown corners for years to come. – Rob Gregson

27. Green Bay Packers: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

Selfless pass rusher who creates havoc without needing to be the one who gets credit for the sack, a tenacious run defender with excellent pursuit, plus high pedigree traits. He's the whole package who can contribute on every down. – Travis May

28. Minnesota Vikings: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Why would the Vikings take a linebacker here? Brian Flores prioritizes versatility, and having a second three-down linebacker could take the Vikings' defense to a new level. – Tyler Forness


29 . Buffalo Bills: Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon

The defensive line looks like the biggest position group to target for Buffalo up and down this draft. Enter Burch, a 6'4" 295 explosive edge that can convert speed to power, win with athleticism, has tremendous burst, and is a natural pass-rusher. He's still figuring out just how good he is, but Buffalo putting him opposite Greg Rousseau is exciting. – Jon Helmkamp

30. Philadelphia Eagles: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE Ole Miss

Bruce Huff has been a bust of a signing, and Brandon Graham is on his last leg. Umanmielen's motor runs hot and cold at times, but his pass-rush tools are awesome. – Ryan Roberts

31. Detroit Lions: LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama

If the acquisition of Za'Darius Smith was an indicator of how Detroit wants to complement Aidan Hutchinson, then LT Overton is a good replacement for the veteran. Overton is massive and wins with power and underrated quickness, but he's raw. – Ian Valentino

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

The rich get richer here as the Chiefs land one of the top CB prospects this late into the first round. Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison's tape is one of the most impressive in this class. The fit in the Chiefs defense isn't exactly perfect but I think he's a good enough talent that Kansas City would be able to figure it out.  – Destin Adams


ROUND TWO

33. New York Giants: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia

It's been over three years since Wyatt Milum personally allowed a sack of his quarterback, according to multiple charting services like PFF and SIS. He has all the traits of a high-quality offensive lineman with 3000 snaps of experience at right tackle and left tackle. Potential building block player. – Travis May

34. Las Vegas Raiders: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Pairing your rookie quarterback with another playmaker has been a tried and true formula for years. Harris isn't an elite athlete, but he's terrific at getting open and snagging big play after big play.  – AJ Schulte

35. Jacksonville Jaguars: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

The Jaguars have Tyson Campbell as their top cornerback, but finding more quality cover men is important. Hairston is one of the more underrated players in the draft, boasting outstanding movement skills and instincts on the back end.  – Ryan Roberts

36. Chicago Bears (from CAR): Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

The Bears offensive line is a disaster, and Simmons would be a nice addition to that group. He can play left tackle, but if they think he's too stiff, kick him inside to guard. – Tyler Forness


37. Tennessee Titans: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon

Tennessee takes Tet McMillan in the first round and sees a polished, experienced quarterback who led the Oregon Ducks to the only undefeated season in college football fall into their laps in the second round. The value is too good for them to pass up on with Levis' tumultuous season. – Jon Helmkamp

38. Cleveland Browns: Zy Alexander, CB, LSU

Cleveland's secondary was a strength entering the year, but the futures of their top three corners are now uncertain. Zy Alexander was phenomenal in all advanced metrics, finally meeting his recruiting prowess. – Ian Valentino

39. New England Patriots: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

The Pats need to rebuild along the offensive line, so taking the best interior player in this class at the top of the second is an easy pick for New England. – Rob Gregson

40. New York Jets: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas

The Jets weren't able to land a QB in the first round, but take a shot on Texas' Quinn Ewers in the second. Landing a QB in the second would take some of the pressure off the Jets to have to start him as a rookie, so if the Jets force another year out of the Aaron Rodgers experience, at least they would have a plan b in waiting in Ewers. – Destin Adams


41. Chicago Bears: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Bears added a wide receiver and an offensive tackle here, and now they turn to address their pass rush. The team needs a splash of playmaking opposite of Montez Sweat. This is a steal and a half, as Shemar Stewart fell way too low.  – AJ Schulte

42. New Orleans Saints: Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)

The Saints are thin at WR and they need a reliable threat on third down. Restrepo has those talents and will be an easy selection for a team that lacks a lot of talent on the perimeter. – Rob Gregson

43. Indianapolis Colts: Xavier Watts, SAF, Notre Dame

The Colts will have to choose whether or not to extend Julian Blackmon this offseason. If they let him walk, they will have a big need at FS, and I think one of the best fits for them to target is Notre Dame's Xavier Watts. – Destin Adams

44. Cincinnati Bengals: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky

Deone Walker has logged nearly 100 career pass rush pressures over the last three seasons, a pressure rate double that of defensive tackle average, and he's done it at 6'6", 345 pounds. He can win from any pre-snap alignment using a variety of pass rush techniques but then throttle down and defense the run with consistency, almost never missing tackles this season. He was less dominant this season than his 2023 campaign, but teams were adjusting for him this year. – Tyler Forness


45. Dallas Cowboys: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

The Cowboys didn't take Ashton Jeanty in the first round for a versatile defender in Jalon Walker but they still get an excellent back in Hampton. He has the size, speed, and physicality to be a three-down back for the Cowboys. – Tyler Forness

46. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Eventually, San Francisco has to invest in their offensive line. Whether Conerly is the right tackle of the future or the heir apparent to Trent Williams at left tackle, he is a terrific scheme fit for their outside zone scheme. – AJ Schulte

47. Miami Dolphins: Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

After grabbing Campbell in the first, the Dolphins continue rebuilding the offensive line with Mbow. He might end up inside long-term, but he has starter upside at multiple spots. – Ryan Roberts

48. Atlanta Falcons: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State

The Falcons have AJ Terrell and not much else at corner. Burke has the potential to be a solid second corner for Atlanta as they aim to overhaul their defense. – Jon Helmkamp


49. Arizona Cardinals: Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona

The best player available is good for Arizona's barren roster. Jonah Savaiinaea projects to be an impact guard, which is perfect for an offense lacking trench talent. – Ian Valentino

50. Seattle Seahawks: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

The Seahawks have been linked to QBs during the last few draft classes but haven't decided to pull the trigger. With a few intriguing day two options in this class, I decided to have them take a chance on Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart. He had an up-and-down final year of college but has the arm talent that NFL decision-makers will try to talk themselves into. – Destin Adams

51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Barron is going to be a riser as the cycle continues, and the Bucs have yet to find their replacement for Carlton Davis. Todd Bowles' defense thrives off corner play, and Barron fits the mold for his style and scheme. – Rob Gregson

52. Carolina Panthers (via LAR): Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon

As much as the Panthers have tried they still don't have a wide receiver on the team worth anything. Evan Stewart would help remedy that with speed, separation, and finish. – Travis May


53. Los Angeles Chargers: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

JK Dobbins has been a great story, but his injury history makes it hard to justify resigning him this offseason. Johnson is a tough runner with tremendous spatial awareness. Combine that with his body type, and he has a high-volume upside. – Ryan Roberts

54. Denver Broncos: Nicholas Singleton, RB, 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. Baltimore Ravens: Aireontay Ersery, OT, Minnesota

There's no doubt Baltimore is one of the premier value-hunting teams. I didn't care for Roger Rosengarten as a tackle prospect, and Aireontay Ersery is dramatically better. Moving Rosengarten into guard and then starting Ersery at tackle helps two positions. – Ian Valentino

56. Washington Commanders: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

The Commanders got help for Jayden Daniels in round one, and they fortify the pass rush in the second round. Landon Jackson has the profile to thrive on the outside with Jonathan Allen and Da'Ron Payne holding fort on the interior. – Tyler Forness


57. Houston Texans: Emery Jones, OL, LSU

We've all seen how poor the Texans' offensive line has been this season. Jones has tackle/guard versatility and could play at either spot to help boost a poor unit this season. – AJ Schulte

58. Green Bay Packers: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

He is less experienced than most tackles in this draft class, but he's got all the physical gifts at 6'5", 335 pounds, with arms and strength to punish. His feet can get him in trouble and out of position at times, allowing a few sacks this year due to discipline and positioning issues, but he's largely an incredible offensive tackle worth a Round 2 selection. – Travis May

59. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State

The Steelers have a knack for taking imperfect pass rushers and molding them into starter if not Pro Bowl-level talents. While the Steelers may already boast a dominant three-man pass rush, Pittsburgh believes in building upon its strengths, and this pick solidifies that. – Rob Gregson

60. Buffalo Bills (via MIN): Nick Emmanwori, SAF, South Carolina

The Bills have been known for their safety room over the years, but their group sans Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer has left some to be desired. They get a player in Emmanwori, who is the same archetype as Kyle Hamilton and can do a little bit of everything on the back end. – Tyler Forness


61. Buffalo Bills: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

TJ Sanders is insanely athletically gifted at 6'4" 290 lbs and would provide production and explosive athleticism from the interior. Buffalo continues to add pieces to try and solve their DL problems. – Jon Helmkamp

62. Philadelphia Eagles: Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Dallas Goedert is a very good tight end, but he just can't stay healthy. An immediate replacement isn't needed, but the future should be very much in the conversation. – Ryan Roberts

63. Detroit Lions: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

For as explosive as Detroit is, their individual talent level isn't amazing. Jared Goff doesn't have a tall, vertical passing threat to rely on, so Elic Ayomanor can fill a big role for the team. – Ian Valentino

64. Kansas City Chiefs: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Boise State

This year was the first time Chiefs fans began to realize that the Travis Kelce era in Kansas City isn't going to last forever. With Kelce having a down year, it feels like the perfect time to target a future replacement. Bowling Green's Harold Fannin Jr. showed his next-level ability as a pass catcher this past year. And if he was able to do that at Bowling Green, imagine what he would do with Patrick Mahomes. – Destin Adams


ROUND THREE

65. New York Giants: Ja'Corey Brooks, WR, Louisville

Ja'Corey Brooks is a former five-star talent who exploded when given ample target opportunity this past season. Many forget he was Bryce Young's go-to guy just two short seasons ago. After transferring to Louisville, he looked like his best version ever. Over 1,000 yards, nine touchdowns, and acrobatic highlight plays throughout the year. He should be a riser throughout much of the draft season. – Travis May

66. Las Vegas Raiders: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

Las Vegas' defense is set to have plenty of turnover this offseason, and they need to continue improving the secondary to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. Amos, a long, physical corner with great ball skills, would be a nice complementary piece for their secondary. – AJ Schulte

67. Carolina Panthers: Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina

The Panthers not having their own second-round pick to pair with the one acquired from the Rams is a tough pill to swallow, but they still get a talented player at the top of the third round. Kennard led the SEC in sacks, ended up winning SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and will impact pass rush downs. – Tyler Forness


68. Kansas City Chiefs (from TEN): Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Ezeiruaku is undersized, but he's explosive and athletic and gives Kansas City a speed option off the edge. – Jon Helmkamp

69. Cleveland Browns: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Keeping Quinshon Judkins in the state of Ohio is good for both the Browns and Judkins. Nick Chubb's future as a starter should be questioned, so Judkins would be the right fit to be a backfield partner. – Ian Valentino

70. New England Patriots: Kyren Lacy, WR, LSU

The best way to help a young QB is to build up the line in front of him and the talent around him. And with New England already adding to their line earlier in this mock, they add an explosive threat on the perimeter here. – Rob Gregson

71. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tate Ratledge, IOL, Georgia

A massive interior offensive lineman with near-perfect pass-blocking chops. He's also been improving in run blocking the past two seasons, showing increased strength and ability to get to the second level to finish. In a class without many true dominant interior offensive linemen, Ratledge might be the best, if not the 2nd or 3rd best option in 2025. The Jaguars desperately need to figure out a way to protect Trevor Lawrence better as they rank outside the Top 20 in pass blocking as a team, according to multiple charting services. – Travis May


72. Las Vegas Raiders (from NYJ): Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas

The Raiders have a lot to figure out this offseason. They landed a QB and WR earlier in this mock, and now they address the defense by landing Kansas’ Cobee Bryant, who I believe has all the tools for an NFL team to try and develop into a really good starter at the pro level. – Destin Adams

73. Chicago Bears: Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State

The interior of the Bears' offensive line is a mess, with poor play at center and both guard spots. Zabel, a college offensive tackle, has been projected by scouts to move inside to either guard or center and would immediately provide a more physical player than Chicago has right now – AJ Schulte

74. New Orleans Saints: Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon

The Saints are amidst a rebuild, but particularly in their secondary after trading away star CB Marshon Lattimore. They can find their next locksmith on the corner of the defense with Jabbar Muhammad. – Rob Gregson

75. Cincinnati Bengals: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon

Tez Johnson might be undersized, but he is quick, explosive, and highly productive. He now has three seasons in a row with at least 850 receiving yards as one of the most productive slot wide receivers in the nation over the last three years. Given that he's a true slot-only projection with a sleek physique, he's unlikely to be selected very early, but he's too good to pass up here for a Bengals team that could use some explosion and separation at wide receiver outside of Ja'Marr Chase next year. – Travis May


76. Dallas Cowboys: Billy Bowman, SAF, Oklahoma

The Dallas Cowboys need defensive backs, and Bowman is underrated right now, but he won't be for long. Bowman would fit in really well in a Mike Zimmer defense. – Tyler Forness

77. San Francisco 49ers: Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU

The 49ers added a defensive tackle earlier and now they turn to address their pass rush. Nick Bosa is still as impactful as ever, but the rest of their pass-rush room has been a relative disappointment. – AJ Schulte

78. Washington Commanders (from MIA): Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State

He's shown some newfound versatility out of necessity to not only be a dominant offensive guard but also kick outside to left tackle some this season for Ohio State. This versatility should keep him high on boards despite his few lapses in consistency this season against tougher edge defenders this year. When called upon, he could be a starter at four spots for the Commanders. – Travis May

79. Indianapolis Colts: Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Back-to-back picks in the secondary for the Colts. I think a change in their defensive system should be coming, and Florida State's Azareye’h Thomas would be a perfect CB to get it started. One of the best press-man CBs in this class who could legit start as a rookie. – Destin Adams

80. New England Patriots: Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan

The Patriots have addressed a ton of top-level needs in this draft, and adding an explosive twitched-up pass rusher from Michigan makes way too much sense at this point. – Jon Helmkamp


81. Arizona Cardinals: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

I'm surprised Darien Porter is still on the board. Arizona just needs talent, and this 6-foot-4 former receiver has plenty of it. Arizona can bring the breakout defender along slowly if needed. – Ian Valentino

82. Seattle Seahawks: Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary

The Seahawks need to come out of the offseason with at least one, but ideally, multiple swings to improve the interior of their offensive line. I have them grabbing William & Mary’s Charles Grant. While playing tackle in college, many project him to switch to guard. He's coming off a dominant season, and if he can translate to the pro level, this would look like one of the draft's biggest steals. – Destin Adams

83. Los Angeles Rams: Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss

Chris Paul Jr. was the best off-ball linebacker in the nation for the 2024 season. He was a finalist for the Butkus Ward, second-team ALL-SEC, and that still undersells just how good he was this season. He tallied six sacks, nearly 100 tackles, an interception, and about half dozen passes defended. He can do everything, and the Rams need a difference-maker on the inside at linebacker. – Travis May

84. Los Angeles Chargers: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee

Pairing Omarr Norman-Lott's unbelievably ferocious pass-rush skills with Kenneth Grant's athleticism and run-stopping force in the same draft for a team that needs to completely revamp their defensive interior this off-season and add major depth is not fair. – Travis May

85. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ollie Gordon, RB, Oklahoma State

The Bucs have seen a stable of backs rotate through in recent years, but no one has taken that lead role quite yet. Ollie Gordon is one of the best pure runners in this class, and he could come in and compete for starting reps immediately in Tampa. – Rob Gregson


86. Baltimore Ravens: Kevin Winston Jr., SAF, Penn State

Talk about amazing value with a player who was a first-round prospect one year ago. A partially torn ACL is why Winston is still here, so there is some risk. But the thought of pairing Kyle Hamilton with Winston is too good to pass on. – Ian Valentino

87. New Orleans Saints (via WAS): Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma

DeMario Davis might feel like he's going to play forever, but he won't. Get a replacement for Davis in the building in Stutsman, who has the mentality and athletic ability to potentially be the best linebacker in this class. – Tyler Forness

88. Denver Broncos: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

Denver has questions at the interior linebacker positions, and Barrett Carter is athletic and instinctual. He triggers well and is a solid tackler with a disposition that will make him a fan favorite. – Jon Helmkamp

89. Houston Texans: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Wide receiver feels like a sneaky need for the Texans, with Stefon Diggs and Robert Woods primed for free agency. They add a talented perimeter body in Higgins, who is an intriguing blend of size, weight, and speed. – AJ Schulte


90. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State

The Steelers have a knack for finding instant contributors at wideout on day two of the draft, and that could very well happen with Royals. A stalky presence with a vertical element to his skillset, he’s an ideal WR #2 body type to pair alongside George Pickens. – Rob Gregson

91. Green Bay Packers: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

He might be a bit old, but he's been a mid-round prospect for multiple years now. Quincy Riley now has 20 passes defended in the last two seasons, plus five interceptions. He's allowed less than 45% completion rate over the last two years. There's a real chance he's selected earlier than this because of his verified production. – Travis May

92. Jacksonville Jaguars (from MIN): Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State

The Jaguars need to find a way to keep quarterback Trevor Lawrence upright and also get him weapons on the outside. Few players have been as productive as Horton over the last few seasons, and he could play either as an X or a power slot in the NFL. – Tyler Forness


93. Cleveland Browns (from BUF): Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State

Cleveland has a good draft in this mock, and they continue to address depth at cornerback with Davison Igbinosun, a physical and sticky coverage corner who can, at times, play a little too physically. They keep it in Ohio with the Ohio State product. – Jon Helmkamp

94. Philadelphia Eagles: Harold Perkins Jr., LB, LSU

He's fallen way too far due to his injury. He was a potential top-ten pick when healthy. Perkins can play edge rusher, off-ball linebacker, drop into coverage. He can do it all. So, of course, the Eagles get to draft him way later than he should be available, given his talent. They do this every year. – Travis May

95. New York Jets (via DET): Tyler Baron, EDGE, Miami (FL)

I'm adding a new name to the fray. The Jets need depth along the defensive line, and Tyler Baron was an emerging star this past season. – Ian Valentino

96. Kansas City Chiefs: Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa

The Chiefs have a decision to make this offseason, with standout linebacker Nick Bolton set to become a free agent. If they choose to let him walk they will have to use an early pick on a LB, and a player who I really like as a fit in their defense is Iowa's Jay Higgins. – Destin Adams
