The conclusion of the regular season means the first 18 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft have been sent — with 14 more slots to be determined.
If the draft were held today, how would the top 18 play out? And what’s the order of the final 14 picks? It all depends on how the postseason plays out.
So, with that all said, let’s dive into our updated 2025 NFL First-round mock draft — end-of-season edition.
Who are the top 32 picks in our official 2025 NFL Mock Draft?
1. Tennessee Titans: Shedeur Sanders
Will Levis proved that he wasn’t the answer, so the Titans have an easy call here to take the quarterback prospect that appeals to them most.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders isn’t quite a sure thing to succeed, but his upside, aura and marketing appeal will give the Titans something enticing to build around. There would be a nice foundation on offense here with Sanders, Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley, Peter Skoronski, and JC Latham.
2. Cleveland Browns: Travis Hunter

The Browns could go QB here, but the restructuring of Deshaun Watson’s contract means he’s on the books for at least one more year. Even though Watson isn’t the answer, the Browns can take the most decorated prospect available here in Travis Hunter and look at QBs in 2026.
Either Hunter forms a super-explosive receiver tandem with Jerry Jeudy or a lockdown cornerback duo with Denzel Ward. Or both. The Browns would welcome either scenario for the two-way phenom.
3. New York Giants: Cam Ward
We know Giants fans are furious about losing out on the No. 1 draft pick, but there’ll be no need for fear if they get Ward or Sanders. With the Daniel Jones era mercilessly over, New York oughta take a chance at QB here.
Ward has the highest upside of any QB in this 2025 NFL draft class. We just can’t get over the idea of the dual-threat signal-caller leading an offense with rising superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers.
4. New England Patriots: Tetairoa McMillan
New England has roster flaws just about everywhere. The main offseason goal has to be to get some weapons for Drake Maye, and McMillan is unquestionably the top wide receiver in this class.
Maye’s slick release and deep ball could lead to a dynamic combo with McMillan, whose speed and 6-foot-5, 212-pound frame would make him a matchup nightmare, especially in the red zone.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Will Johnson
The Jaguars finished with football’s worst pass defense, and only four teams allowed more points. In other words, help wanted on defense.
Michigan corner Will Johnson has future All-Pro written all over him. If Tyson Campbell can bounce back from a rough 2024, he and Johnson could form one of the AFC’s best defensive back tandems.
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Abdul Carter
The Raiders have one of the league’s premier edge-rushers in Maxx Crosby, but they’re still searching for a complementary piece to take this unit to another level in the 2025 NFL draft. Christian Wilkins flopped in year one of his hefty free-agent deal, so allow us to get excited about the prospect of a Crosby-Carter edge-rushing tandem.
Hey, it’s a nice start to defending against Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Bo Nix in the AFC West.
7. New York Jets: Mason Graham
Until Aaron Rodgers and the Jets decide on the future of their marriage, it’s anybody’s guess where they may go with their pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
For now, we’ll pair Quinnen Williams with the best interior defensive linemen in this class. Michigan’s Mason Graham deserves to go earlier, but it’ll depend on how much other teams value the defensive tackle position.
Rodgers or no Rodgers, the Jets would not regret taking the hulking Graham to complement Williams and young stud Will McDonald IV.

8. Carolina Panthers: James Pearce Jr.
Carolina finished dead last in scoring last season, and it was largely thanks to a non-existent pass rush that tallied only 32 sacks.
The Panthers greatly missed Brian Burns after the curious decision to trade him to the Giants last year. GM Dan Morgan has a golden opportunity to find a replacement for the Tennessee edge rusher who tallied 17 sacks over his final two college seasons.
9. New Orleans Saints: Will Campbell
The Saints have flaws across the board, but the offensive line especially needs a boost, with Ryan Ramcyzk presumably retired.
2024 first-round pick Taliese Fuaga turned in a rock-solid rookie year on a hapless New Orleans squad this year. Taking LSU’s Will Campbell here could solidify the bookend positions for the next decade-plus in the Big Easy.
10. Chicago Bears: Kelvin Banks Jr.
Truth be told, the Bears have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball to be a playoff team. It’s all about the new head coaching staff getting the most out of these guys.
That said, protecting Caleb Williams should be a priority. 2023 first-round pick Darnell Wright enjoyed a breakout year at tackle, so taking the Texas product would have the Bears set up beautifully on the o-line long-term.
11. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Simmons
The 49ers’ offensive line was an issue in 2024, even when the injury-prone Trent Williams was on the field. This feels like the right time to line up a succession plan with Williams set to enter his age-37 season, and Ohio State tackle Josh Simmons would fit nicely in Kyle Shanahan’s zone-blocking scheme.
12. Dallas Cowboys: Mykel Williams
The Cowboys need a lot more than Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, and DeMarcus Lawrence on defense. It’s been a while since they had a game-wrecking defensive end, and Georgia’s Mykel Williams just might be the solution in the 2025 NFL draft.
A pass-rushing tandem of Parsons and Williams would go a long way in helping Dallas’ defense regain the top-10 form we saw under Dan Quinn.
13. Miami Dolphins: Luther Burden III
Tyreek Hill immediately told the world that he wanted out of Miami following their Week 18 loss to the Jets. We gotta assume that the Dolphins will honor Hill’s word, and that would mean having to take a wide receiver early.
Missouri’s Luther Burden III is a crafty deep threat who’s averaged 11.8 yards per catch in the college ranks. His ability to work the sidelines and the middle of the field would make Burden a nice complement to Jaylen Waddle.
14. Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks
The Colts finished 26th against the pass in 2024, and the shortcomings on defense led to the firing of DC Gus Bradley.
We’d be surprised if the Colts didn’t address the defense here. They especially need help in the secondary, and Georgia safety Malaki Starks could single-handedly solve the issue.
Starks has often been referred to as a “unicorn,” similar to Baltimore Ravens superstar Kyle Hamilton. Starks’ ability to hold his own in coverage, stop the run and get after the QB would make him a five-star weapon on Indy’s defense.
15. Atlanta Falcons: Nic Scourton
As much hate as Kirk Cousins got, the Falcons’ underachieving defense was just as instrumental in them missing the playoffs for the seventh straight year.
The Falcons again couldn’t get after the quarterback, with Arnold Ebiketie’s six sacks leading the team. That changes here with the selection of Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton in the 2025 NFL drat, who had 15 sacks over his last two seasons of college ball.
16. Arizona Cardinals: Jalon Walker
The Bulldogs’ pipeline of elite defensive players produced another gem in Jalon Walker, a super-athletic 6-foot-2, 245-pound linebacker.
The Cardinals have holes all over the defense and can’t realistically compete for a Super Bowl without a few more game-changers. The defensive makeover can start with adding Walker.
17. Cincinnati Bengals: Benjamin Morrison
If the Bengals hadn’t had a defense that performed like pylons over the first three-quarters of the season, they would have been a playoff team. But alas, the D was mostly helpless and wasted career years from both Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.
Firing DC Lou Anarumo was a start, but the personnel will need upgrades as well. Using a stud shutdown corner like Benjamin Morrison would help, too, giving Zac Taylor someone to hold his own against the likes of Zay Flowers, George Pickens and Jerry Jeudy in the AFC.
18. Seattle Seahawks: Cameron Williams
2022 first-rounder Charles Cross has developed as an elite offensive tackle in Seattle, but the o-line could use some juice. Texas product Cameron Williams, a 6-foot-5 and 335-pound menace, would shore up the other bookend and solidify Seattle in the trenches for years to come.
19. Houston Texans: Walter Nolen
The Texans have two elite edge-rushers in Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, but now it’s time to shore up the interior defensive line in the 2025 NFL draft.
A transfer from Texas A&M, the 306-pound Nolen had 6.5 sacks in his one-year stint at Ole Miss. And believe us, a defensive-minded coach like DeMeco Ryans would love a three-headed pass-rushing monster to contain the top QBs in the AFC.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Shavon Revel Jr.
As good a coach as Todd Bowles is, it’s surprising how terrible his secondary has been. The Bucs finished 29th against the pass in consecutive years, and the secondary woes have oftentimes wasted strong efforts from the Bucs’ ferocious front seven.
The Bucs sorely missed Carlton Davis after trading him to the Detroit Lions last year. Here, they get a new capable shutdown corner to complement Jamal Dean.
21. Denver Broncos: Colston Loveland
Courtland Sutton became the first Bronco to record 1,000 yards receiving or rushing since 2019. He formed terrific chemistry with rookie QB Bo Nix this year, but the Broncos need more pass-catchers to elevate this offense.
Sean Payton has always loved tight ends. And Michigan’s Colston Loveland, a key member of last year’s national championship-winning team, would immediately produce in this budding offensive juggernaut.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers: Emeka Egbuka
The Steelers’ passing game struggled mightily again in 2024, and it was largely because they lacked a real No. 2 receiver to help George Pickens.
At long last, the Steelers finally address the issue here by taking Ohio State wideout Emeka Egbuka — another field-stretcher and prolific deep threat to take some of the stress off Pickens.
23. Green Bay Packers: Jahdae Barron
Jaire Alexander hasn’t been able to stay healthy, and cutting him would save Green Bay $17.5 million against the cap. If there was a time to move on….
Plus, this cornerback-heavy 2025 NFL draft class allows the Pack to find a quality replacement on a rookie deal. Green Bay must deal with an onslaught of elite wide receivers in the NFC North on an annual basis, so they may as well get a capable lockdown corner like Barron to address the issue.
24. Minnesota Vikings: Ashton Jeanty
Pardon us for getting too excited on this one. We know veteran Aaron Jones had an excellent 2024 season in Minny, but he’ll be 31 next season.
Jeanty is one of the best running back prospects ever, and Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson are excellent examples of how taking the right RB early can pay significant dividends.
Just can’t get the picture out of our heads: Jeanty, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and TJ Hockenson. Does that give anyone else some reminders of the 2007 Patriots or 2013 Broncos?
25. Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Booker
The Rams are in a nice spot where they can sit and take the best player available, but it feels like a good time to address the offensive line with Rob Havenstein set to turn 33 before next season.
A two-time First-team All-SEC selection, Alabama’s Tyler Booker could even sit for a year and learn from the Rams’ veterans before becoming a full-time starter in 2026.
26. Los Angeles Chargers: Tyler Warren
The Chargers are set up nicely at most positions: The league’s best scoring defense, a top-tier o-line, a franchise quarterback, and a new No. 1 receiver in Ladd McConkey.
Now…imagine if Justin Herbert had one more star pass-catcher to elevate the aerial game? Warren broke out in his final year at Penn State with a 1,000-yard season, and his run-blocking makes him a tailor-made fit for Jim Harbaugh’s offense.
27. Washington Commanders: Tre Harris
Terry McLaurin remains one of the game’s most prolific wideouts, but the Commanders have long been searching for another receiver to help him out.
They can do just that in the 2025 NFL draft by taking the Ole Miss wideout, who hit the 50-catch and 900-yard marks in each of his last three college seasons. The 6-3, 210-pound Harris is a contested catch specialist who would do wonders with Jayden Daniels throwing him the ball.
28. Baltimore Ravens: J.T. Tuimoloau
It’s nice that Kyle Van Noy posted a career-high 12.5 sacks at the age of 33 this season, but he’s not going to repeat that feat. The Ravens need some youth off the edge, especially since they gotta deal with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, and Patrick Mahomes in the AFC.
A menace off the edge, Ohio State’s JT Tuimoloau would be a beautiful sidekick to veteran Nnamdi Madubuike.
29. Buffalo Bills: Trey Amos
As good as the Bills were in the regular season, they surprisingly had a leaky pass defense that ranked 24th. That’s not gonna cut it in a loaded AFC.
The Bills would be wise to take the best-remaining cornerback in the 2025 NFL draft. Ole Miss Rebels star Trey Amos had three interceptions and 13 pass breakups after transferring over from Alabama. This is a big-game player who would immediately slot in as the Bills’ new No. 1 corner.
30. Philadelphia Eagles: Kenneth Grant
The Eagles have the league’s most complete roster, so they could go anywhere here. But even with a star-studded front seven, we can’t help but love the idea of them adding Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant to the mix.
A defensive line featuring Grant, Jalen Carter, and Jordan Davis would be completely unfair. And we’re here for it.
31. Kansas City Chiefs: Josh Conerly Jr.
Another tough year from Jawaan Taylor will likely lead to a release or trade in the offseason. The Chiefs, who have a long and successful track record of drafting and developing offensive linemen, can find Taylor’s replacement here.
Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. is a plug-and-play guy who would immediately serve as an upgrade over Taylor.
32. Detroit Lions: Jared Ivey
If there’s one missing piece on Dan Campbell’s squad, it’s another dynamic pass-rusher to help Aidan Hutchinson. And the Lions’ lack of pass-rushing depth has been exposed without Hutchinson this season.
That changes here with the selection of another Ole Miss standout in Jared Ivey, who tallied 12.5 sacks over his final two seasons.
