With the 2025 NFL Draft in just one day, let's get into yet another mock draft. This one is three rounds long with some unexpected QB picks. Much of the chatter as we get super close to the 2025 NFL Draft has been around the QB class. With how weak the class is overall, we could see some unexpected selections and teams being competitive in trying to land some not-so-great prospects.
The NFL Draft is tomorrow, so we'll have 32 college players hear their names called. There are some picks that seem to be set in stone, like Cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans and perhaps Travis Hunter to the Cleveland Browns.
We could be in store for some downright shocking selections. Let's get into a 3-round mock draft.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Shocking QBs fly off the board?
1. Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
No surprises here, as the Tennessee Titans grab Cam Ward and turn their franchise around with a new quarterback. Ward is the clear-cut top QB prospect in a weaker class, but he probably would have been a second-round pick had he been in the 2024 NFL Draft.
2. Cleveland Browns - Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Travis Hunter is likely to start out at wide receiver with the Cleveland Browns. He is their first-round selection in our latest mock draft.
3. New York Giants - Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Abdul Carter might be the best defensive prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft and is surely going no later than the fourth overall pick. The New York Giants grab him here.
4. New England Patriots - Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Will Campbell is a great prospect and a logical fit for the New England Patriots with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. I would be shocked if this pick did not happen.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
The Jacksonville Jaguars could get frisky and grab Ashton Jeanty here, but they have to build from the trenches, so James Gladstone pulls the trigger on Mason Graham.
6. Las Vegas Raiders - Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Another team that could get frisky and take Ashton Jeanty, the Las Vegas Raiders grab Armand Membou from Missouri and reinforce their offensive line.
7. New York Jets - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The seventh pick in the 2025 NFL Draft sees the New York Jets grabbing Tyler Warren from Penn State. Warren is a very complete TE prospect and arguably the best in this year's class.
8. Denver Broncos (via CAR) - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Denver Broncos trade up 12 picks with the Carolina Panthers and are able to win the sweepstakes for Ashton Jeanty. He is there first-round pick and could unlock this offense for years to come.
9. New Orleans Saints - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
The New Orleans Saints get a player in Jihaad Campbell who could truly end up being a sure-fire success in the NFL. He can immediately start right in the middle of their defense. It would not shock me if the Saints ended up taking Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders with this pick, though.
10. Chicago Bears - Kelvin Banks Jr, OT, Texas
The missing piece to their offensive line, the Chicago Bears grab Kelvin Banks Jr from Texas. This could make it four new starters along their OL for 2025.
11. San Francisco 49ers - Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The San Francisco 49ers don't do anything fancy here and grab a high-end prospect at pick 11. Will Johnson could surely be in play, but the Niners grab some pass rush help and take Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M.
12. Dallas Cowboys - Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
One of the best overall prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jalon Walker heads to the Dallas Cowboys with the 12th overall pick. Dallas could go in a number of directions here. It would not shock me if they actually took Omarion Hampton from UNC with this pick.
It's been yet another offseason to forget for the Cowboys, who are appreciably worse now than they were when the offseason began.
13. Miami Dolphins - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Colston Loveland is a great player and fills a huge position of need for the Miami Dolphins. He is their selection at pick 13 in this 2025 NFL mock draft. The 2025 season could be a do-or-die year for many people in the Dolphins organization.
14. New York Giants (via IND) - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Trade! The New York Giants trade up with the Indianapolis Colts and take Shedeur Sanders. The Giants actually pulled it off in this mock draft, landing both Abdul Carter and now Sanders.
15. Atlanta Falcons - Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Will Johnson drops to pick 15, and the Atlanta Falcons waste no time turning that card in. Their defense has to improve in 2025.
16. Arizona Cardinals - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
The Arizona Cardinals use another first-round pick on a WR and take Matthew Golden from Texas.
17. Cincinnati Bengals - Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Needing help all over their defense, the Cincinnati Bengals don't do anything out of this world and gran some pass rushing help. Mike Green seems to have some sort of off-field concerns, but the Bengals take their chances and grab him with the 17th pick.
18. Seattle Seahawks - Tet McMillan, WR, Arizona
Tet McMillan falling to pick 18 would be some insane fortune for the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle blew up their WR room this offseason but could begin replenishing it with McMillan here in this mock draft.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Derrick Harmon may go a bit later than expected due to some medical issues, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take the swing and use their first-round pick on him. Tampa again won the NFC South in 2024.
20. Carolina Panthers (via DEN) - Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
With trading down, the Carolina Panthers are now picking 20th and are still able to select Jahdae Barron from Texas. Carolina did extend Jaycee Horn this offseason, so they have put a ton of resources into their secondary this offseason.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Jaxson Dart might not be the Pittsburgh Steelers first choice at QB, but with Shedeur Sanders off the board, they use their 21st pick and take him. Dart may actually end up starting Week 1 for the Steelers at this rate.
Pittsburgh did bring back Mason Rudolph in this offseason and still seem to be holding out hope that they can manage to sign Aaron Rodgers.
22. Los Angeles Chargers - Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The Los Angeles Chargers get a great prospect with their first-round pick and take Walter Nolen from Ole Miss. Some have quested Nolen's effort and drive at times, but if there is any franchise to get the most out of him, it's LA.
23. Green Bay Packers - Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The Green Bay Packers bolster their pass rush and take Mykel Williams from Georgia at pick 23 in our latest NFL mock draft.
24. Minnesota Vikings - Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
A team filling an obvious need, the Minnesota Vikings grab Malaki Starks from Georgia to bolster their empty secondary.
25. Houston Texans - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
An obvious pick for an obvious need, the Houston Texans grab Josh Simmons, the tackle from Ohio State who seems to be nearly recovered from his major knee injury. Houston has to field a competent offensive line in the 2025 NFL Season.
26. Los Angeles Rams - Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
A major move in the first round, the Los Angeles Rams lay the groundwork to eventually move on from Matthew Stafford, as they take Tyler Shough from Louisville with the 26th pick in this NFL mock draft. This is a bold move by Rams GM Les Snead.
27. Baltimore Ravens - Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Pairing up Nick Emmanwori with Kyle Hamilton would be flat-out unfair. Emmanwori is a freak-athlete and is a slam-dunk first-round pick. Baltimore again fell short in the postseason in 2024 and are looking to get over the hump in the 2025 NFL Season.
28. Detroit Lions - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Losing Kevin Zeitler in free agency to the Tennessee Titans could prompt the Detroit Lions to grab the best guard prospect in the class and take Tyler Booker, a Day 1 starter along an already stacked Lions offensive line. This is a great pick for Lions GM Brad Holmes.
29. Washington Commanders - Grey Zabel, OG, North Dakota State
Two-straight interior offensive line picks, the Washington Commanders grab a guard of their own and take Grey Zabel from North Dakota State. They did trade for Laremy Tunsil earlier this offseason, so the offensive line investment has been massive.
30. Buffalo Bills - Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Nic Scourton is the pick for the Buffalo Bills with the 30th selection. Buffalo has really spilled a ton of resources into their defensive line this offseason.
31. Kansas City Chiefs - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka on the Kansas City Chiefs could be unfair for opposing defenses. This would be an outstanding scenario. Egbuka immediately becomes a 50-reception player within this offense and could hit the 1,000-yard mark in year one.
32. Philadelphia Eagles - James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee
The Philadelphia Eagles begin rebuilding their defensive line a bit and take James Pearce Jr from Tennessee at the bottom of the first round.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Round 2 Predictions
33. Cleveland Browns - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
The Cleveland Browns kick things off at the top of the second round and take Omarion Hampton. This actually feels quite low for Hampton, so I am sure the Browns are not complaining here.
34. Indianapolis Colts (via NYG) - Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
With the Colts having traded down with the Giants, they get some of their Day 2 picks. Indy grabs an underrated tight end prospect and takes Mason Taylor from LSU. He is, you guessed it, the son of NFL legend Jason Taylor, so he's got NFL bloodlines.
35. Tennessee Titans - Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
The Tennessee Titans bolster their QB room at pick one and grab Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 35. The Titans may have turned their franchise around in a big way.
36. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Secondary is definitely a need for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They take Ole Miss CB Tre Amos at the top of the second round and have addressed the defensive side of the ball with their first two picks. They should be taking an offensive player soon, though.
37. Las Vegas Raiders - Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Luther Burden III is a great pick for the Las Vegas Raiders here at the top of the second round. Geno Smith can get the football to his playmakers, so he could become an instant contributor.
38. New England Patriots - Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Will Campbell in the first and Kenneth Grant in the second proves that the New England Patriots want to get nastier and better in the trenches. This is a great idea.
39. Chicago Bears - Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
Another team that has made a huge investment into their DL this offseason, the Chicago Bears use their first second-round pick on Tyleik Williams. Chicago also overhauled their OL this offseason and are all of a sudden a team to look out for in 2025.
40. New Orleans Saints - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
The New Orleans Saints get Kellen Moore and whoever is playing QB an elite weapon in TreVeyon Henderson, one of the most complete running backs in the entire draft class.
41. Chicago Bears - Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
With their other second-round pick, the Bears now turn to their secondary and take Maxwell Hairston, the CB from Kentucky.
42. New York Jets - Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon
Josh Conerly Jr at pick 42 is great value for the New York Jets. GM Darren Mougey has now taken Tyler Warren and Conerly with his first two picks, so this is a great start for the new regime.
43. San Francisco 49ers - Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
Adding Shemar Stewart in the first round and Shavon Revel in the second round, the San Francisco 49ers are serious about getting their defense younger and more explosive for the long-term, as they have said goodbye to many former foundational player this past offseason.
44. Dallas Cowboys - Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State
Someone who could actually hear his named called in Round 1, Donovan Jackson falls into the Dallas Cowboys laps at pick 44. You have to give the team credit for being able to pull this off.
45. Indianapolis Colts - Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Quarterback! Jalen Milroe heads to the Indianapolis Colts with the 45th pick, and all of a sudden, the Colts have Milroe, Daniel Jones, and Anthony Richardson in their QB room.
46. Atlanta Falcons - Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
Again addressing the defensive side of the ball, the Atlanta Falcons grab Xavier Watts from Notre Dame. Offensively, this team is quite talented, so they do not have burning needs on that side of the ball.
47. Arizona Cardinals - Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Yet another player along the DL this offseason for the Arizona Cardinals - Landon Jackson is their second-round pick in our latest mock draft.
48. Miami Dolphins - Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
The Miami Dolphins take an interesting route and add WR Tre Harris at pick 48. They have invested quite a bit into their offense thus far in this NFL mock draft.
49. Cincinnati Bengals - Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
Defense, defense, defense! The Cincinnati Bengals do need some offensive line help, but fixing the defense would actually make more of a positive impact for this team than another starting guard. There are still some starting-quality iOL players out in the free agency market, so Cincy should focus on the defense.
50. Seattle Seahawks - Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona
The Seattle Seahawks get some iOL help of their own and grab Jonah Savaiinaea from Arizona. He played tackle in college but will kick inside to guard at the NFL level.
51. Carolina Panthers (via DEN) - Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
The Carolina Panthers have the Denver Broncos second-round pick due to the trade-down they executed in Round 1. Carolina grabs Jaylin Noel from Iowa State to give Bryce Young another much-needed weapon on offense.
52. Seattle Seahawks - Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State
With their other second-round pick, the Seattle Seahawks take Azareye'h Thomas from Florida State and continue adding young talent to their roster in a bit of a mini-rebuild.
53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Two-straight cornerbacks here as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers add to their defensive line and secondary and take Benjamin Morrison from Notre Dame.
54. Green Bay Packers - TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
The Green Bay Packers add yet another DL player and grab TJ Sanders from South Carolina at the bottom of the second round in our latest NFL mock draft.
55. Los Angeles Chargers - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
A backfield of Najee Harris and Kaleb Johnson could be insane. The Los Angeles Chargers truly invest into their RB room and take the talented back at pick 55.
56. Buffalo Bills - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
The Buffalo Bills maybe do some future planning in the backfield and take Quinshon Judkins from Ohio State at pick 56 in this mock draft.
57. Carolina Panthers - Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Carolina Panthers keep stacking talent in this NFL mock draft and grab Aireontae Ersery with the 57th pick. I would not be shocked if this team exploded in 2025 and beyond, honestly.
58. Houston Texans - Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
Adding some much-needed help at WR, the Houston Texans take Jalen Royals from Utah State. Tank Dell is recovering from yet another major injury, and Stefon Diggs left the team in free agency.
59. Baltimore Ravens - Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia
Some interior offensive line help is on the way for the Baltimore Ravens, as they take Wyatt Milum from West Virginia. Nick Emmanwori and Milum are their first two picks in this mock draft, which is some great drafting (as usual) from this franchise.
60. Detroit Lions - JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
More defensive help is on the way for the Detroit Lions. They take JT Tuimoloau from Ohio State to bolster their pass rush, which should see Aidan Hutchinson return into the mix in 2025.
61. Washington Commanders - Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
The Washington Commanders take Darius Alexander at the bottom of the second round in our latest NFL mock draft. This team could truly win the NFC in the 2025 season.
62. Buffalo Bills - Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
The Buffalo Bills have to address their secondary early in the 2025 NFL Draft. They do just that and take Darien Porter from Iowa State with the 62nd pick. Buffalo is definitely fielding the best roster in the AFC at this point.
63. Kansas City Chiefs - Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Losing Justin Reid in free agency hurts, but the Kansas City Chiefs replenish a bit with Andrew Mukuba from Texas at pick 63.
64. Philadelphia Eagles - Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
With the last pick in the second round, the Philadelphia Eagles grab Kyle Williams from Washington State. Williams seems to have been flying up NFL Draft boards in recent weeks.

92. Seattle Seahawks - Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
93. New Orleans Saints - Dorian Strong, EDGE, Virginia Tech
94. Cleveland Browns - Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
95. Kansas City Chiefs - Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary
96. Philadelphia Eagles - Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
97. Minnesota Vikings - Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska
98. Miami Dolphins - Demetrius Knight Jr, LB, South Carolina
99. New York Giants - Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia
100. San Francisco 49ers - Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
101. Los Angeles Rams - Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
102. Detroit Lions - Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
We see some steals here in the third round, as the New Orleans Saints take Georgia center Jared Wilson at pick 71. Ten picks later, the Cincinnati Bengals add to their offensive line and grab Emery Jones from LSU. Jones could kick inside to guard. The Denver Broncos are seen at pick 85 reuniting Bo Nix with one of his college teammates in Terrance Ferguson.
With Ashton Jeanty in the first round and Ferguson here in the third, Denver has hit this draft out of the park. The New York Giants address the interior of their offensive line at pick 99 and grab Dylan Fairchild from Georgia, and with the last pick in the third round, the Detroit Lions add to their already stacked defensive line and take Joshua Farmer from Florida State.
