1. TENNESSEE- CAM WARD QB, MIAMI (FL)

After a lot of thinking, the Titans decide to reset and select their franchise quarterback in Ward. Levis was merely a meme this past season and Tennessee will try to build around Ward as new GM Mike Borgonzi will be up to the task to hopefully create buzz for the Titans.

2. CLEVELAND- ABDUL CARTER DE/LB, PENN STATE

With the signing of Joe Flacco, Cleveland kick the can down the road for a quarterback and select a franchise altering edge to put on the other side of newly signed Myles Garrett. Offensive linemen will have sleepless nights thinking about facing that front seven.

3. NY GIANTS- TRAVIS HUNTER CB/WR, COLORADO

The Giants need a player who can add explosiveness in the skill positions, Hunter is that guy. Could be a shutdown corner or a great home run threat at receiver. Wherever they put him, he will help the team greatly.

4. NEW ENGLAND- WILL CAMPBELL OT, LSU

The Patriots have helped Drake Maye out by adding weapons around him, now you have to protect him at all costs. Getting the best offensive lineman in a nice class will help protect Maye and open running lanes.

MOCK TRADE ALERT! MOCK TRADE ALERT!

The Cardinals feel that they are a defensive superstar away from the playoffs. They trade multiple picks to Jacksonville for the fifth selection.

FIVE. ARIZONA- MASON GRAHAM DL, MICHIGAN

Generational defensive lineman don't grow on trees as Arizona swings for the fences and grabs the top prospect in that position. This move hopefully gets them over the hump.

SIX. LAS VEGAS- WILL JOHNSON CB, MICHIGAN

Sure, Ashton Jeanty is intriguing, but when a player that reminds you of another former Michigan standout and Raider, Charles Woodson, you jump on that. Johnson will be a serviceable lockdown corner for the Raiders.

MOCK TRADE ALERT! MOCK TRADE ALERT!

Jerrah can't help himself and decide to ship picks to the Jets for this pick.

SEVEN. DALLAS- ASHTON JEANTY RB, BOISE STATE

Despite signing Javonte Williams in free agency, Jeanty will be the long-term answer for the Cowboys. He can hopefully invoke memories of Emmitt Smith and help Dallas get out of their personal funk.

EIGHT. CAROLINA- TETAIROA MCMILLIAN WR, ARIZONA

The second half resurgence of Bryce Young was paramount, now he needs a deep threat. McMillian has speed for days and can provide the big play ability that offensive minded head coach Dave Canales craves.

NINE. NEW ORLEANS- SHEADUR SANDERS QB, COLORADO

With Derek Carr's injury considered to be season-ending, the Saints and new head coach Kellen Moore get a future star-in-the-making in Sanders. Building a playoff contending team will be instrumental for his development.

TEN. CHICAGO- JALON WALKER EDGE, GEORGIA

The Bears did everything they could to help the offense, now it's the defense's turn. Walker has the strength and acceleration to make offensive linemen look silly.

ELEVEN. SAN FRANCISCO- MIKE GREEN EDGE, MARSHALL

The Niners lost some key contributors via free agency, it's time to load up on some young talent. Green is from a smaller school in Marshall and many think he invoke memories of one Khalil Mack.

TWELVE. NY JETS- TYLER WARREN TE, PENN STATE

The Jets traded down and still get the player they wanted....with some pick to tow. Warren will be that security blanket that can help new quarterback Justin Fields and new head coach Aaron Glenn excel. God help Jets fans.

THIRTEEN. MIAMI- ARMAND MEMBOU OT, MISSOURI

It's time for the Dolphins to clear their minds and realize Tua is a concussion away from ending his career. The next best offensive lineman just fell in your lap, it's a no-brainer.

FOURTEEN. INDIANAPOLIS- COLSTON LOVELAND TE, MICHIGAN

The two headed monster known as A.R. Dimes is looking for a safe option to get some yards. Loveland is actually the best tight end in this draft and Indy is blessed to snag him at this spot.

FIFTEEN. ATLANTA- SHEMAR STEWART EDGE, TEXAS A&M

Hey, Falcons, I told you last year to use your first-round pick on defense. You didn't and used it on Michael Penix Jr., which in hindsight was a good pick. Now, don't stray from drafting Stewart.

SIXTEEN. JACKSONVILLE- KELVIN BANKS JR. OT, TEXAS

Jacksonville trades down and gets a probable stud lineman to protect Trevor Lawrence, since you paid him a boat load of money and he was thrown around like a rag doll last season.

SEVENTEEN. CINCINNATI- NICK EMMANWORI S, SOUTH CAROLINA

This secondary hadn't been the same since Jessie Bates left for Atlanta a couple of years ago. The Bengals can add a player who can play both safety and has the size to be on linebacker packages.

EIGHTEEN. SEATTLE- MATTHEW GOLDEN WR, TEXAS

After trading away DK Metcalf, the Seahawks and new quarterback Sam Darnold need another weapon at receiver to component JSN. Golden has elite speed and great route running ability.

NINETEEN. TAMPA BAY- JIHAAD CAMPBELL LB, ALABAMA

Head coach Todd Bowles loves edge players that wreak havoc, and Campbell is one of those players that can fit into Tampa's defense without a bump in the road.

TWENTY. DENVER- OMARION HAMPTON RB, NORTH CAROLINA

The Broncs need running help for quarterback Bo Nix and this class is loaded as they jump on selection Hampton. Sean Payton has his version of Alvin Kamara to unleash onto the NFL....hopefully.

TWENTY-ONE. PITTSBURGH- JAXSON DORT QB, OLE MISS

The Steelers are still waiting for Aaron Rodgers and have Mason Rudolph on the roster but need a long-term starter. Dort has shot up draft with his accuracy and big game arm.

TWENTY-TWO. LA CHARGERS- JAHDAE BARRON CB, TEXAS

Many will say receiver here, but the Chargers really need secondary help. The playoff game against the Texans was an indication of that. Barron could be the best corner on the team from day one.

TWENTY-THREE. GREEN BAY- JOSH SIMMONS OT, OHIO STATE

Despite some defensive holes, the Packers need to protect Jordan Love. Simmons is an offensive lineman who can keep the defensive's mitts off Love and create lanes for Josh Jacobs.

TWENTY-FOUR. MINNESOTA- GREY ZABEL OL, NORTH DAKOTA STATE

The Vikings gave up nine sacks in their playoff loss against the Rams. This was a sign to go after offensive line to help JJ McCarthy or maybe Aaron Rodgers.

TWENTY-FIVE. HOUSTON- MYKEL WILLIAMS EDGE, GEORGIA

Yes, Houston needs to get an offensive lineman to replace Laremy Tunsil, but since this class is deep, they can get a solid one in later rounds. Williams can be a steal pick for the Texans.

TWENTY-SIX. LA RAMS- MALAKI STARKS S, GEORGIA

The Rams defense made a statement last season as Jared Verse won DPOY. Adding a playmaking safety in Starks would make Los Angeles even more dangerous.

TWENTY-SEVEN. BALTIMORE- DERRICK HARMON DT, OREGON

Baltimore is surprised that Harmon fell to their laps, and pounce at the opportunity to take him. They are reminded of another Oregon prospect who donned the purple and black of the Ravens, Haloti Ngata.

TWENTY-EIGHT. DETROIT- KENNETH GRANT DL, MICHIGAN

Gotta love teams drafting home state prospects. Grant is 340 lbs. of pure brick wall and is the plug that can stop offenses up the middle.

TWENTY-NINE. WASHINGTON- WALTER NOLEN DT, OLE MISS

After losing Jonathan Allen, the Commanders need some young help up the middle. How about a former five-star prospect to man that position?

THIRTY. BUFFALO- LUTHER BURDEN III WR, MISSOURI

You just gave your MVP quarterback a lot of money, now time to get him some weapons. Burden III has the tools to be Josh Allen's #1 target in the next few years.

THIRTY-ONE. KANSAS CITY- JOSH CONERLY JR. OT, OREGON

The Eagles ran amok on Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Losing Joe Thunty to Chicago doesn't help, so time to add young talent at the offensive line. Conerly Jr. could become the bodyguard at Mahomes' blind side.

THIRTY-TWO. PHILADELPHIA- TYLEIK WILLIAMS DT, OHIO STATE

The champs really don't need an interior lineman, but getting some depth doesn't hurt and makes them even more dangerous. Tyleik is a project, so he doesn't need to be productive off the bat.

So, there it is, the 2025 mock draft. I may have missed some picks, but hey, that's why they call it a mock draft, right?
