2025 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting all 32 first-round picks

The Eagles are Super Bowl Champions, in case you forgot. It’s easy to get caught up in this glorious fact, and you should! But the team is already looking ahead to the offseason and the 2025 NFL draft. With the NFL Combine beginning this week, lots can still change. Here is how the draft could shake out if it took place today.

  1. Tennessee Titans: Abdul Carter, Edge Defender, Penn State – The Titans very well could get a quarterback here, but Abdul Carter is the best player in the class at an extremely valuable position.
  2. Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter, Cornerback/Wide Receiver, Colorado – The Browns could also grab a quarterback, but snagging Hunter here would be a boost for their roster.
  3. New York Giants: Shedeur Sanders, Quarterback, Colorado – The Giants have to take a shot at quarterback here. They have some talented pieces on offense that Sanders could come in and succeed with on day one.
  4. New England Patriots: Tetairoa McMillan, Wide Receiver, Arizona – The Pats have a real talent in Drake Maye. Now they can give him a legit number one receiver.
  5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Luther Burden III, Wide Receiver, Missouri – The Jaguars need to prioritize surrounding Trevor Lawrence with weapons. Luther Burden III would be an asset in the slot with Brian Thomas Junior stretching the field.
  6. Oakland Raiders: Cam Ward, Quarterback, Miami – The Pete Carroll regime gets a fresh start with a talented quarterback at the helm.
  7. New York Jets: Tyler Warren, Tight End, Penn State – With no obvious quarterback here, the Jets add a legit weapon to their offense. The combination of Warren, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall should make life easy on whoever the next quarterback is.
  8. Carolina Panthers: Mason Graham, Defensive Lineman, Michigan – The Panthers got a spark of hope when Bryce Young really showed life in the late season. Now they can focus on building a formidable defense.
  9. New Orleans Saints: Kenneth Grant, Defensive Lineman, Michigan – The Saints need to add youth to their defense. Kenneth Grant is a big physical player who can be a centerpiece on that line.
  10. Chicago Bears: James Pearce Junior, Edge Defender, Tennessee – Ben Johnson will get the Bears offense cooking, so they can focus on adding more weapons to their defensive line.
  11. San Francisco 49ers: Will Campbell, Offensive Tackle, LSUThe Niners were ravaged by injuries last year, but they also need to get younger on their offensive line.
  12. Dallas Cowboys: Ashton Jeanty, Running Back, Boise State – Obviously.
  13. Miami Dolphins: Malaki Starks, Safety, Georgia – The Dolphins defense will need to reload this offseason. Starks is a do-it-all safety who could thrive at any level.
  14. Indianapolis Colts: Jahdae Barron, Defensive, Texas – The Colts could use some more talent in the secondary. Barron would be phenomenal as a big nickel defender.
  15. Atlanta Falcons: Will Johnson, Cornerback, Michigan – The Falcons have a lot of potential going into next year, but need more defensive firepower. Raheem Morris would probably love Will Johnson locking it down for him.
  16. Arizona Cardinals: Walter Nolen, Defensive Lineman, Ole Miss The Cardinals desperately need to beef up their trenches.
  17. Cincinnati Bengals: Kelvin Banks, Offensive Lineman, Texas – The quest to protect Joe Burrow continues. Kelvin Banks could play guard or tackle at a high level.
  18. Seattle Seahawks: Mike Green, Edge Defender, Marshall – The Seahawks add some more pass rushing potency with Mike Green.
  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mykel Williams, Edge Defender, Georgia – The Buccaneers would benefit from Mykel Williams between his high level run defense and athleticism. If he can improve as a pass rusher, this would be a steal.
  20. Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, Wide Receiver, Ohio State The Broncos have their quarterback in Bo Nix. Now they can add some more pieces around him. Emeka Egbuka will be a reception machine on day one.
  21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Matthew Golden, Wide Receiver, Texas – The Steelers have big questions to answer at quarterback this offseason, but they also need to add more receiver talent to complement George Pickens. Golden’s finesse and ability to play in the slot make a lot of sense for Pittsburgh.
  22. Los Angeles Chargers – Colston Loveland, Tight End, Michigan – C’mon.
  23. Green Bay Packers: Shemar Stewart, Edge Defender, Texas A&M The Packers love betting on Traits Guys and that feels like Shemar Stewart through and through. He is unbelievably talented but just needs to land with a patient coaching staff.
  24. Minnesota Vikings: Josh Simmons, Offensive Lineman, Ohio State – The Vikings get a versatile and pro-ready lineman to continue building an offense around JJ McCarthy.
  25. Houston Texans: Derrick Harmon, Defensive Lineman, Oregon – The Texans go with solid, safe defensive lineman who can open things up further for Will Anderson and company.
  26. Los Angeles Rams: Armand Membou, Offensive Tackle, Missouri – The Rams drafted so well last year, going with tons of “obvious” picks. This year I’d expect the same as they draft a high upside tackle here.
  27. Baltimore Ravens: Nic Scourton, Edge Defender, Texas A&M – The AFC is a Quarterback Arms Race and the Ravens get some pass rush help here to slow down Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or whomever else in January.
  28. Detroit Lions: Jalon Walker, Linebacker/Edge Defender, Georgia – Feels like a Dan Campbell pick. Jalon Walker adds a ton of speed, physicality, and versatility to a defense that overachieved last year despite injuries.
  29. Washington Commanders: Grey Zabel, Offensive Tackle, North Dakota State – The Commanders should be very excited about the future with Jayden Daniels at the helm. Now Washington needs to build a much better offensive line around him.
  30. Buffalo Bills: Jihaad Campbell, Linebacker, Alabama – The Bills add needed linebacker talent here. Campbell is raw, but the talent is obvious and Sean McDermott could coach him up into a being a three-down difference maker.
  31. Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl Losers): Josh Conerly Junior, Offensive Tackle, Oregon –Anything to keep Patrick Mahomes upright after he got nuked in the Super Bowl by the
  32. Philadelphia Eagles (World Champions): Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge Defender, Boston College – The Eagles dominated the Super Bowl and their pass rush made Patrick Mahomes look paltry. However, Josh Sweat is a pending free agent, Brandon Graham could retire, Bryce Huff is a huge question mark, Nolan Smith is coming off a tricep tear, and Jalyx Hunt is talented but still a relative unknown. Getting more juice on the edge is crucial. Donovan Ezeiruaku is undersized, but his speed and bend make him a pass rushing nightmare. Playing next to Jalen Carter, I can’t imagine he sees many double teams.
