Predicting all 32 NFL teams first-round draft picks.
With the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up, mock drafts cannot be predicted with little bit more accuracy knowing which prospects teams could be targeting. Between now and the draft in April player rankings may fluctuate a little, but overall teams big board’s are pretty close to being set.
With that information and the current roster “needs” for all 32 NFL teams, we decided we would try to attempt to predict how each pick plays out in the first-round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Since trades are unpredictable, we excluded them from this mock draft.
1. Tennessee Titans – EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State
Tennessee is rumored to be willing to trade away the first overall pick likely to a QB “needy” team. If they make a selection here Abdul Carter makes sense. He has the talent to become one of the best pass rusher’s in the league.
2. Cleveland Browns – QB Cam Ward, Miami
Cam Ward fills a glaring hole at QB in Cleveland after the whole Deshaun Watson trade failure, which continues to negatively impact the organization.
3. New York Giants – CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado
The Giants are a candidate to trade up for the first overall pick to select their QB of the future, but if they stay put Travis Hunter could be the pick. He immediately upgrades both offense and defense as a rookie.
4. New England Patriots – OT/G Armand Membou, Missouri
New England decides to bypass adding another weapon for their second-year QB in favor of protecting him by selecting Armand Membou. The 20-year-old is a plug-and-play starter with Pro Bowl potential as a rookie.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – OT/G Will Campbell, LSU
Although Will Campbell has proven he can remain at tackle in the NFL, his best fit may be inside at guard. He could step in and replace Brandon Scherff in Jacksonville, who is currently pending free agent.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
The Raiders give their newly acquired QB Geno Smith another receiving weapon and a player with WR1 potential as a rookie in Tetairoa McMillan to pair with Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers.
7. New York Jets – DT Mason Graham, Michigan
Mason Graham’s play style and attitude fit what Aaron Glenn looks for in his defensive players and can be the building block in which this defense is built around for years to come.
8. Carolina Panthers – EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
After blowing up the combine, the Panthers decide to gamble a bit by betting on Shemar Stewart’s elite athleticism by making him a Top 10 selection, despite his 1.5 sacks in each of his last three seasons.
9. New Orleans Saints – TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
Regardless of who ends up playing quarterback in New Orleans, the Saints need to add more firepower to their offense under first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Tyler Warren is a do-it-all weapon that does just that.
10. Chicago Bears – RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
After making recent trades to upgrade their offensive line, the Bears have set themselves up to further help their second-year QB by adding some serious juice to the backfield in the Aston Jeanty.
11. San Francisco 49ers – OT/G Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
Trent Williams isn’t getting any younger and Aaron Banks is a pending free agent, making Kelvin Banks’ OT/G versatility an intriguing option to replace either depending where the 49ers like him best.
12. Dallas Cowboys – EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia

The Cowboys stick to their big board here and choose EDGE Mykel Williams instead of reaching for WR Matthew Golden to upgrade and add depth at defensive end. Adding Williams with Micah Parsons, Marshawn Kneeland, and Sam Williams would give the Cowboys really good depth at DE, creating the potential to have one of the better pass rushing units in league.
With QB Sheduer Sanders still on the board trading down with QB needy teams like the Seahawks or Steelers could be in play here as well. Staying pat here with Mykel Williams though the Cowboys get a player who can challenge Marshawn Kneeland and Sam Williams from Day 1 to start opposite Micah Parsons as DeMarcus Lawrence’s replacement. He could be a plug-and-play starter with Pro Bowl potential down the road.
13. Miami Dolphins – S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
With both Javon Holland and Jordan Poyer as pending free agents, the Dolphins are in need of more safety help and decide to draft Nick Emmanwori to upgrade the back end of their secondary.
14. Indianapolis Colts – G Tyler Booker, Alabama
Tyler Booker would be a plug-and-play replacement for RG Will Fries, a pending free agent, and give Indianapolis a nasty guard duo (Quenton Nelson) for RB Jonathan Taylor to run behind.
15. Atlanta Falcons – EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
The Falcons need pass rush help and while Mike Green raised some concerns after not participating at the combine, he is still worthy of the Top 15 pick after dominating the Senior Bowl.
16. Arizona Cardinals – CB Will Johnson, Michigan
The Cardinals have a lot of roster needs and could go several different directions here, but being able to snag the top-ranked CB this year to upgrade their secondary would be too good to pass up.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
After Sam Hubbard decided to retire and with Trey Hendrickson requesting a trade, the Bengals find themselves in need of more pass rushing help. Donovan Ezeiruaku helps fill the void immediately.
18. Seattle Seahawks – QB Sheduer Sanders, Colorado
Although they still need to upgrade their OL and receiving core, Seattle finds a replacement for Geno Smith here in Sheduer Sanders. The rest of the draft should be devoted to building around him.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
Lavonte David was recently re-signed to a one-year, $10 million deal, but at 34 years old the Buccaneers would be wise to go ahead and draft his successor and Jihaad Campbell fits the bill.
20. Denver Broncos – TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Sean Payton is rumored to be looking for a “joker” offensive weapon and Colston Loveland fits the bill. He has a similar skill set to Raiders TE Brock Bowers and could have similar success in Denver as a rookie.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – WR Matthew Golden, Texas
Although their QB situation remains unsettled right now, Pittsburgh needs another target in the passing game to pair with George Pickens. Matthew Golden is a QB-friendly WR would be a good complement for Pickens.
22. Los Angeles Chargers – WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka isn’t flashy, but he’s the most pro-ready WR in the draft class. Add him to Ladd McConkey and QB Justin Herbert has two versatile QB-friendly receivers to upgrade the Chargers aerial attack.
23. Green Bay Packers – CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
Rumors are the Packers are going to part ways with Jaire Alexander, making cornerback a need. Jahdae Barron is a versatile defensive back who can step in immediately replace him as a rookie.
24. Minnesota Vikings – OL Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
With J.J. McCarthy coming off a season-ending injury and taking over as the starter, Minnesota needs to upgrade their OL. Grey Zabel can play just about any position giving them options where to play him.
25. Houston Texans – OT/G Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Donovan Jackson reunites with fellow Ohio State alum QB C.J. Stroud in Houston and immediately upgrades their offensive line. He’s a plug-and-play guard with Pro Bowl potential as a rookie.
26. Los Angeles Rams – WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
Replacing Cooper Kupp with Luther Burden could be a dream come true for the Rams. He would pair nicely with Puka Nacua and give Matthew Stafford a yards after catch demon to target in the passing game.
27. Baltimore Ravens – S Malaki Starks, Georgia
The Ravens are known to let things play out and then draft the best player available, hence the Malaki Starks prediction here. Pairing him on the back end of the defense with Kyle Hamilton would be scary.
28. Detroit Lions – DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
Drafting Kevin Zeitler’s replacement could be in play here, but with Kenneth Grant still available he would be too hard to pass up. He would provide a big, physical presence in the middle of their defensive line.
29. Washington Commanders – OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Protecting Jayden Daniels should be priority No. 1 for Washington and getting Josh Simmons at this point in the first-round would be a steal. If not for his knee injury, he’d be long gone by now.
30. Buffalo Bills – DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Buffalo needs to get bigger and stronger along their defensive line and Derrick Harmon would help tremendously in that area. He’s equally effective as a run defender as he is as a pass rusher.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – OT Josh Conley Jr., Oregon
Kansas City’s inability to protect Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl puts upgrading the offensive line at the top of their list. Josh Conley should further help upgrade their OL after franchise tagging Trey Smith.
32. Philadelphia Eagles – DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen still being on the board at this point in the first-round would be a dream come true for the Eagles. He can step in as a rookie and replace Milton Williams, who is a pending free agent.
