Although the season feels like it just started, many fan bases are already looking ahead to 2025 NFL mock drafts. There isn’t a top consensus prospect projected to be drafted No. 1 overall. The same goes for quarterbacks, with no clear-cut favorite emerging as the top draft prospect. But that just makes the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft even more fun.
The 2025 NFL Draft order for the mock draft below was formulated using the most up-to-date NFL standings after Week 4.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
The Jaguars could select a franchise left tackle No. 1 overall, but there’s only one Travis Hunter. No other player offers dual positional value as an athlete capable of filling needs at wide receiver and cornerback, and the Jaguars need help in both areas.

2. Miami Dolphins: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
If the Dolphins continue to struggle with or without Tua Tagovailoa, they could very well end up with a top-ten pick. Should that happen, selecting a franchise left tackle of the future wouldn’t be a bad idea considering Terron Armstead is 33. Campbell or even Armstead could always switch to the right side, where they’d be protecting Tagovailoa’s blindside.

3. New England Patriots: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
While the Patriots would like to add a franchise left tackle here, their need for a No. 1 target is arguably just as sizable. Drake Maye will need better protection, but getting him a 6-foot-5 receiver with glue on his hands is just as good.

4. Cincinnati Bengals: Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
The Bengals don’t expect to be selecting this high in April, but if they do, drafting a potential superstar like Mason Graham would help them win in the trenches on Sundays. Graham can be dominant as a run-stopper or at getting after the quarterback, and Cincinnati could use help in both areas.
5. Cleveland Browns: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
It’s time. No, the Browns don’t have a way to get out from Deshaun Watson’s contract until after 2025 at the earliest. Yet, at some point they need to start planning for the future. Perhaps bringing in some competition for Watson, who will be 30 next season, is just what’s needed to give Cleveland a brighter future. As a dual-threat weapon, Jalen Milroe can be the person who sparks the Browns’ offense.

6. Tennessee Titans: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Titans could look to add a top playmaker here, but the allure of adding one of the top quarterback prospects in the draft class may be too enticing to overlook. There are maturity questions with Shedeur Sanders, but our guess is he helps erase those doubts during the interview process. Brian Callahan would love to get his hands on a quarterback who processes information like Sanders does.
7. Carolina Panthers: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
No one saw this coming after the Panthers selected Bryce Young first overall in 2023, but seeing Andy Dalton quickly light a fire in Carolina’s offense suggests it’s time for a new franchise QB. Cam Ward has the traits that can help him become a superstar at the next level thanks to having a big arm and enough mobility to flee the pocket at a moment’s notice.

8. Los Angeles Rams: Kelvin Banks Jr, OT, Texas
The Rams are seeing exactly how quickly their offensive line can crumble after suffering several injuries in the trenches to start the season. Alaric Jackson has been a mixed bag at left tackle, but Sean McVay can find his blue-chip pass protector for the next decade with Kelvin Banks Jr.
9. Arizona Cardinals: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Cardinals are averaging the second-most yards per pass attempt heading into Week 5. Adding Max Melton in the second round in 2024’s draft is a step in the right direction, but this defense still needs a potential shutdown corner with big play potential. That’s exactly who Will Johnson is.

10. New York Giants: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
The Giants’ two starting corners enter Week 5 ranked 69th and 92nd among all players at their position per Pro Football Focus. Rookie Dru Phillips is grading well, but he may be best suited for the nickel. Deonte Banks is still developing too, but the Giants could make life a lot easier on their pass rush by adding a physical corner like Morrison who’s capable of excelling in man and zone coverage schemes.
11. Indianapolis Colts: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Anthony Richardson is wildly inconsistent right now, but the Colts need to get him another playmaker he can rely on too. Luther Burden can help the Colts’ franchise QB look good by picking up big chunks of yardage after the catch thanks to his electric speed and impressive strength.
12. Los Angeles Chargers: Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan
We didn’t do it on purpose, but Jim Harbaugh gets to reunite with yet another one of his former Wolverines by adding Kenneth Grant. He’s the other Michigan DT who generates a lot of hype thanks to a powerful base that consistently wrecks his opponent’s game plan. If Harbaugh wants to build in the trenches, he couldn’t do any better than adding the 6-foot-3, 340-pound nose tackle.
13. New Orleans Saints: James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee
It feels like the Saints have to draft a defensive lineman or edge rusher every other season. Cameron Jordan’s 35, and Chase Young might be pricing himself out of the Bayou. Which means, the Saints are back to looking for more players who can create pressure. Once hyped as a potential No. 1 overall pick, James Pearce is an explosive athlete who can rip through his opponents with ease.
14. Dallas Cowboys: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
CeeDee Lamb is one of the NFL’s best receivers, and he has a new contract to prove it. But Dak Prescott needs another playmaker to spread the ball around to, and Emeka Egbuka could be the perfect solution. Like Lamb, Egbuka is a complete receiver capable of running every route on the tree and he has some of the best hands in the draft class.

15. Chicago Bears: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Bears added Montez Sweat ahead of last season’s trade deadline, but they’re still looking to pair him with a pass-rush partner capable of getting home on a consistent basis. Nic Scourton is the type of defender every team could use. His versatility allows him to play on the edge, or kick inside in obvious passing situations, where his power helps him get pressure or plug gaps in the running game.

16. Green Bay Packers: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona
Even after selecting two cornerbacks in the first round since 2018, the Packers still have a need for another. Teams can never have too many playmakers in the secondary, and that’s no different in Green Bay. Plus, Tacario Davis is a freakish talent at 6-foot-4. Not only does his height allow him to go up against the biggest playmakers in the sport, he also has the movement skills and instincts to make a play on the ball too.

17. San Francisco 49ers: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Even though he’s still one of the best left tackles in the NFL, Trent Williams can’t play forever. At some point the 49ers will have to replace the future Hall of Famer, and Aireontae Ersery might be the ideal solution. Despite less than ideal foot speed, Ersery is great as a run blocker and his high IQ could help make him an elite talent at the next level.
18. Baltimore Ravens: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
As a run-first offense, the Ravens are always a good bet to strengthen the trenches. Jonah Savaiinaea’s best position at the next level isn’t entirely clear, but it’s possible he could play tackle or guard. For now, the Ravens will just plug him into their starting lineup as one of their best trench warriors available.

19. Philadelphia Eagles: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
You can’t go wrong taking the next great edge rusher to emerge from Penn State. Abdul Carter probably won’t ever be as good as Micah Parsons, but he is still a very athletic pass rusher who also packs enough power to make an immediate impact.

20. New York Jets: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
Aaron Rodgers will be 42 next season, and in the last year of his contract. This means the Jets will need to start thinking about the future. As a former top recruit, Ewers has all the arm talent in the world, and having a year to learn from a future Hall of Famer could suit him well.
21. Las Vegas Raiders: Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
Like most quarterbacks who have to play Alabama, Carson Beck had some ups and downs. However, the 6-foot-4 QB still has one of the best arms in the 2025 draft class. He’d be a huge upgrade over Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell.

22. Denver Broncos: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Broncos believe they have their QB of the future in Bo Nix. Now it’s time to get him some big playmakers who can help him be more efficient. Colston Loveland is hands-down the best tight end prospect in the 2025 draft class, and in addition to being a trusted pass-catcher, he’s also a plus blocker too.

23. Atlanta Falcons: Harold Perkins Jr, LB/EDGE, LSU
Perkins recently suffered a season-ending injury, but that could help the uber-athletic linebacker slip to the Falcons. Perkins is a jack-of-all-trades linebacker who may not be big enough to play along the edge on a consistent basis. But as one of the most athletic players in the draft class, Atlanta will be happy to let Perkins play all over their defense, whether it’s in the box, in the slot, or on the line.

24. Detroit Lions: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
A stronger season could still land Mykel Williams in the top-ten territory. He’s the type of defender every playcaller loves. Someone who can play along the inside or on the edge, Williams is a plus defender against the run and the pass. Williams already has an advanced level of knowledge when it comes to creating pressure, so we can’t imagine what he could do when paired with Aidan Hutchinson.

25. Washington Commanders: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Malaki Starks has the talent to be a top-15 pick, but safety isn’t really a premier position in the NFL. Yet, the Commanders could use a freakish talent in their secondary, and Starks is just the man for the job. A playmaker that makes an impact against the run and in the passing game, Starks could develop into an All-Pro talent.

26. Buffalo Bills: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
The Bills keep experiencing linebacker injuries. Matt Milano is starting to get older, he’ll be 31 next season, and he’s had back-to-back season-ending injuries. While the Bills may not want to replace their All-Pro altogether, adding another playmaker to their front seven wouldn’t hurt, and at 6-foot-4, Danny Stutsman is a big, rangy linebacker who can play on all three downs.

27. Seattle Seahawks: Emery Jones Jr, OT, LSU
Charles Cross has run away with the Seahawks’ franchise left tackle job, but they could use more help on the offensive line. Emery Jones is a plus pass protector who’s above-average IQ should help him become a day one starter at right tackle in Seattle.

28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Isaiah Bond is the next speedster receiver to emerge from the Lone Star State. His combination of acceleration ability and fluid hips allows Bond to create separation with ease. Once he burns his defenders, Bond displays impressive ball tracking and body control to give him WR1 upside. Pairing him with George Pickens would be perfect in Pittsburgh.

29. Houston Texans: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
Simply put, there aren’t many players built like Deone Walker. The 6-foot-6, 350-pound nose tackle is a lot quicker than he looks, which helps him create pressure up the middle. Yet, with that size, he’s also effective at stopping the run. He’d be a great addition to the middle of Houston’s D.

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
The Buccaneers need more defenders who can create pressure. Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer can do that, and then some. Sawyer is one of those athletes with the type of motor that never stops, which becomes a problem for his opponents when combined with his strength and intelligence on the football field.

31. Minnesota Vikings: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Vikings have been getting good production out of Aaron Jones, but the former Packer is only signed to a one-year contract. Even if the Vikings bring the Pro Bowl rusher back, he’ll be 30 next season. Yet, pairing him with a Heisman candidate like Ashton Jeanty could give the Vikings one of the best 1-2 RB duos in the NFL.

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
Clearly, losing L’Jarius Sneed hasn’t had a major impact on the Chiefs’ defense so far amidst their undefeated season. Yet, the Chiefs will need to add another playmaker to their secondary, and the 6-foot-3 Shavon Revel could become a freakish talent that opponents can’t get over the top of.
