As we get closer to the 2025 NFL Draft, we've rolled out our longest mock draft to date - it's five-rounds long and has some aggressive QB action. With how weak the QB class is for the 2025 NFL Draft, there could be some unexpected names going earlier or later than expected.
The NFL Draft is now less than three weeks away, so teams across the league are surely finalizing their big boards and figuring out which players they want to target. Truth be told - it's a bad year to need blue-chip talent and a bad year to need a quarterback.
There are teams who need both of these players, which is honestly the worst-possible scenario. Let's get into our longest mock draft to date. It's a whopping five rounds long and has some aggressive quarterback action.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: 5-Round mock draft with aggressive quarterback action
1. Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
The Tennessee Titans are probably going to take Cam Ward with the first overall pick, so while it might be boring to constantly see Ward being mocked first overall, it’s being done for a reason. He is the best QB in a weaker class but does have a few qualities that could translate big-time at the NFL level.
The Titans also invested into their offensive line this offseason, and on paper, that unit looks quite good. You just have to wonder if the Titans could be frisky in 2025 if Ward can find some instant success here and there.
2. Cleveland Browns - Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Travis Hunter could be in play for the Cleveland Browns with the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Hunter can play both wide receiver and cornerback and should get run at both in the NFL. Now yes, his actual team is going to have to manage that somehow, as they surely would not want to tire him out too much, but I am sure we’ll see him do it.
He won the Heisman Trophy in 2024 and might be the best player in the NFL Draft class.
3. New York Giants - Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
With the Cleveland Browns not taking Abdul Carter at pick two in our latest mock draft, the New York Giants make the move and add an elite prospect to their defensive line, which already features top players in Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns.
Carter might be the best prospect in the NFL Draft depending on who you ask and could be one of the missing pieces of the Giants defense. The G-Men probably need another piece in the secondary and could also use another weapon or two on offense.
But with Russell Wilson likely starting for the team in the 2025 NFL Season, I guess some in the Giants organization can convince themselves that they could have a nine or 10-win team in 2025 if things go the way they hope. New York has fooled around with the QB position for too long, and perhaps should have taken Shedeur Sanders with this pick.
4. New England Patriots - Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Will Campbell helps the New England Patriots cap-off a ton of offensive line additions in 2025, including center Garrett Bradbury and right tackle Morgan Moses. Cole Strange could return to the lineup to start at left guard, and Mike Onwenu can kick back inside to his right guard spot.
With Campbell at the LT spot, the Patriots might have something major cooking along their offensive line. I would not rule this team out from competing for a Wild Card spot in the AFC in 2025. Yes, I am that high on the New England Patriots.
Drake Maye showed a lot of promise as a rookie in the 2024 NFL Season, and often times, rookie QBs play a lot better than their statistics indicate. I feel like Maye is one of those players.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Mason Graham is the best defensive tackle in a loaded class n the 2025 NFL Draft, so the Jacksonville Jaguars waste no time taking him with the fifth overall selection. The Jags went 9-8 in 2022 and 2023 but bottomed out big-time in 2024, leading to the firing of Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke.
The team hired James Gladstone as their new GM and Liam Coen as their new head coach, so it is an insane youth movement right now, and that’s honestly a lot of the rage in the NFL. Teams desire to get younger at key spots on the coaching staff, for example. The Jags could benefit from a top CB here, but also need to beef up the trenches.
Former GM Trent Baalke did not leave the roster in total shambles, as there is decent talent here and there. Jacksonville makes a big selection in our latest mock draft and takes Mason Graham from Michigan.
6. Las Vegas Raiders - Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
I know the popular pick here is to go with Ashton Jeanty from Boise State, but if you ask me, that is kind of irresponsible for the Las Vegas Raiders, as they could benefit from another starter on their offensive line. Pete Carroll is the team’s new head coach after not coaching at all in the 2024 NFL Season.
The Raiders also traded for Geno Smith, so they seem to be the Seahawks of the AFC, if you will. Well, with Smith, you get a QB with a higher floor but a lower ceiling. For the Raiders, that might be what they need at this point. They’ll build from the trenches in our latest mock draft and perhaps address the RB position later on.
In the loaded AFC, I am not sure Las Vegas is going to go anywhere in the 2025 NFL Season.
7. New York Jets - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
One of the first major decisions of this NFL mock draft is the New York Jets using pick seven on Shedeur Sanders. Sanders drops a few picks and falls into the Jets laps, which might be a perfect situation for them. While Sanders is a relatively polished prospect, the Jets likely would not start him in 2025.
Justin Fields is their starter, but he could remain as such for just one year. This would allow the team’s front office to load up on the roster, especially at wide receiver, tight end, and along the offensive line. Then in 2026, the team could hand the keys to Sanders as their hopeful franchise QB. In theory, it makes a ton of sense.
And I have to assume that Sanders would love being in that New York spotlight. Yes, the media can be tough, but it feels like the two sides are almost meant to be together. The Jets take Shedeur Sanders at pick seven in our latest mock draft.
8. Carolina Panthers - Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Even after extending stud CB Jaycee Horn, the Carolina Panthers are using their first-round pick in our latest mock draft on Will Johnson, the CB from Michigan. The Panthers had a historically bad defense in 2024 and truly could not stop a nosebleed. If this team wants to get out of the cellar in 2025 and beyond, not only will they need Bryce Young to develop in year three, but they’ll need to field a competent defense.
This could be the last chance for DC Ejiro Evero. Only time will tell if he’s the right man to lead this defense, but you can’t say that this unit does not have talent, especially on the backend with the emergence of Horn and them taking Will Johnson as well.
If all goes well, the Carolina Panthers can be a threat in the NFC South in 2025.
9. New Orleans Saints - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Given how poorly the New Orleans Saints have been run in recent years, it would not surprise me if they made a goofy pick like this. I am not saying that Ashton Jeanty isn’t worthy of being picked this high - he absolutely is - but a team like the Saints should not even entertain this idea.
Much of their roster is old and on bloated contracts, and this franchise really does not have a lot of hope for the future. They simply need to begin a legitimate rebuild, and that entails building from the trenches and acquiring a franchise QB in the NFL Draft.
Well, there isn’t a viable QB on the board at pick nine, so the Saints take Jeanty. They should take a top OL prospect with this pick, though. With Ashton Jeanty now on the team, you have to wonder if they would consider trading Alvin Kamara, one of the best dual-threat RBs of this generation.
10. Chicago Bears - Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
The Chicago Bears keep up the great work in the trenches and take Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M at pick 10 in this NFL mock draft. The Bears overhauled the interior of their offensive line in 2025, trading for Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, and signing Drew Dalman. They also upgraded their defensive line a bit and keep that up here in this mock draft.
It is clear that Bears head coach Ben Johnson hopes to create what he had in Detroit, and that would be a stellar idea. If Caleb Williams makes a year two jump in the 2025 NFL Season, this team would not be missing much and could blossom as a potential contender.
Ryan Poles is having himself a home-run offseason and will keep that up here in the 2025 NFL Draft. I would be cautiously optimistic if I was a Bears fan right now.
11. San Francisco 49ers - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The San Francisco 49ers are clearly embracing a bit of a new era heading into the 2025 NFL Season. Many of their former players who had huge roles with the team like Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw, and Talanoa Hufanga are on new clubs.
San Francisco surely thinks they can win some games this year, but the roster isn’t all that good anymore, and they should do a mini-rebuild to get back to the postseason. They’ll use pick 11 in this mock draft on Tyler Warren, who is the best TE prospect in the class and is someone who can do a little bit of everything at the position.
He’d be a Day 1 contributor for the offense and would also give the team a bit of a runway to eventually move on from George Kittle, who is beginning to get up there in age. Will San Francisco miss the postseason for a second year in a row after making the Super Bowl back in 2023?
12. Dallas Cowboys - Tet McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Dallas Cowboys need another weapon on offense, and could take Ashton Jeanty at pick 12 if he were to fall that far. He doesn’t in this mock draft, so the team takes Tet McMillan. Dallas has been searching for a legitimate WR2 to pair with CeeDee Lamb for multiple years now. And it’s not that Lamb isn’t producing - he is - but this offense is very top-heavy and needs another weapon.
The RB position is also a huge one of need, but with how deep the RB class is here in the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas could capitalize on taking a top WR in McMillan and surely find a starting-caliber RB in the later rounds. Being that the WR class isn’t nearly as deep as RB, it makes sense to prioritize wide receiver in the first round.
I guess if all goes well and Dak Prescott returns to his old self, Dallas could scrape together nine wins and compete for a Wild Card spot in the NFC.
13. Miami Dolphins - Kelvin Banks Jr, OT, Texas
It would be wise for the Miami Dolphins to get more stout in the trenches, and this is for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the team kind of stinks it up when the weather gets cold, and that has been a trend for multiple years now. It’s something that they will have to figure out if they hope to make the playoffs and make a run one way.
Getting beefier where games in the NFL are won and lost is smart. Secondly, Tua Tagovailoa is injury-prone, so surrounding him with the best offensive line possible is a great idea. When he’s on the field, there aren’t many QBs who are more efficient on paper.
I would concede that Tagovailoa probably isn’t going to lead the Dolphins where they truly hope to go, but he’s quite good at times.
Kelvin Banks Jr is a nice pick for the team in the middle of the first round. He could be a Day 1 starter along the offensive line and helps them in multiple ways. If their starting QB can stay on the field for a full season, they’ll likely finish with a winning record.
14. Indianapolis Colts - Grey Zabel, OG, North Dakota State
Losing both Will Fries and Ryan Kelly in free agency surely hurt, so the Indianapolis Colts use their first-round pick on Grey Zabel from North Dakota State. Zabel is a Day 1 starter along the interior of the offensive line and definitely fills a huge position of need for Indy.
On paper, this team is quite talented - GM Chris Ballard finally invested in the free agent market and bolstered the secondary, but the Colts do still need a bit more OL help and could also use a viable tight end as well.
Zabel plays the more important position and is a solid pick for Ballard, who has a nice track record in the NFL Draft. Notably, this team is fielding a QB competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones for the 2025 NFL Season.
15. Atlanta Falcons - Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
Someone who is a bit of a hybrid between a linebacker and an EDGE rusher, Jalon Walker might be able to play in a couple of different roles on the Atlanta Falcons defense, and it would honestly be malpractice if the Falcons did not take a top defensive prospect in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Falcons had one of the weakest and overall least-explosive defenses in the NFL in 2024. The team is much more talented on offense, and they aren’t all that far away from competing for the NFC South title. The Kirk Cousins signing ended up blowing up in their face, but they are not the first nor last team to make a huge QB whiff.
They have to shore up the defense and give Michael Penix Jr another OL or weapon on offense to ensure his success in 2025 and beyond. The Falcons, on paper, could be the most talented team in the NFC South, but Penix has to prove himself, and the defense absolutely has to take a leap forward, or 2025 would be another brutal year for the franchise.
16. Arizona Cardinals - Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The Arizona Cardinals are not messing around with their defensive front. After signing Calais Campbell, Josh Sweat, and Dalvin Tomlinson, they use pick 16 in our latest mock draft on Mykel Williams, yet another pass rusher.
All of a sudden, the Cardinals DL is among the best in the NFL in this scenario, and this would be one year after it was among the worst in the league. The Cards won four games in 2023 and eight in 2024, so they doubled their win total.
Do not be shocked if they flirt with nine or 10 wins in 2025, especially with their DL now a huge strength. An up-and-coming team, the Arizona Cardinals could be a breakout squad this upcoming season.
17. Cincinnati Bengals - Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
The Cincinnati Bengals could go in a number of directions in the 2025 NFL Draft. This team needs help in all three phases of the defense, and this is being optimistic and suggesting that Trey Hendrickson will be back with the team in 2025. Malaki Starks is their selection in the first round of this mock draft, but if you mocked a DT, EDGE, LB, or CB here, that could be just fine.
We can all agree that the Bengals have to field an average defense at least in 2025. This team had a bottom-5 unit in 2024, and it truly wasted away an MVP-caliber season from Joe Burrow. The Bengals ended up winning five games in a row to end the 2024 NFL Season and still missed the playoffs.
That is insanely hard to do when you think about it… an NFL season is just 17 games, so a team winning five in a row would surely win at least 10 overall and make the playoffs, right? Well, the Bengals have a dysfunctional front office and have to hit on some defensive rookie picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.
18. Seattle Seahawks - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Matthew Golden is the most polished wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft class. The Seattle Seahawks did overhaul their WR room a bit this offseason when they traded DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers and cut Tyler Lockett. They did sign Cooper Kupp in free agency, but a need for another WR is still present.
But this team’s biggest issue right now would probably be them lacking an identity and also missing multiple starting-caliber players along the offensive line. If you think a bout it, taking a WR in the first round with some decent OL prospects still on the board might not be the smartest idea, but there are a lot of viable OL prospects available on Day 2 and even Day 3.
Seattle won 10 games in 2024 with Geno Smith at QB but did not make the playoffs. They were the only team in the NFL that won double-digit games but failed to make the postseason. Perhaps that is a huge reason why this team moved on from Geno Smith.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have some needs in the secondary but could also use some pass rush help, even after signing Haason Reddick. James Pearce Jr is an insane athlete and someone who could be plenty good enough to start for the Bucs in Week 1 and beyond. Pearce gets into the backfield with ease and could take this defense to the next level.
Tampa Bay won 10 games in 2024 and won the NFC South yet again, but they are truly a good-not-great team. Hitting on some prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft could help them get over the hump and perhaps turn into a legitimate contender.
Baker Mayfield had the best year of his career in 2024, tossing 41 touchdown passes and throwing for 4,500 yards. Can Tampa win the NFC South again in 2025?
20. Denver Broncos - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Even with the Denver Broncos signing Evan Engram in free agency this offseason, the need for a long-term tight end prospect is still there. It might not be a first-round need, as they do have a more urgent need at RB, but the Broncos cannot help themselves and get yet another pass-catcher for this offense and grab Colston Loveland from Michigan.
All of a sudden, a tight end room that features Engram and Loveland might be among the best in the NFL, and this would be one year after fielding one of the worst TE rooms in the league. Denver won 10 games in 2024, making the playoffs and shocking the NFL world. The Broncos could be on the cusp of legitimate contention if they were able to get Loveland and a top RB prospect as well.
I would not sleep on the Denver Broncos from making a lot of noise in the 2025 NFL Season.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Quarterback! The Pittsburgh Steelers make the bold move to take Jaxson Dart with their first-round pick, and they should absolutely do this if they believe he can be the guy, but they should also make this move even if they sign Aaron Rodgers, which seems likely at this point.
Rodgers and new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had a throwing session recently, so that could be a huge indication Rodgers is nearing a decision. And to be fair, Rodgers was quite efficient down the stretch in 2024, and that was on a horrifically dysfunctional Jets team.
If nothing else, the Steelers aren’t necessarily dysfunctional, so the four-time MVP, who threw 28 touchdowns in 2024, could play quite well if he was throwing the ball to the likes of DK Metcalf and George Pickens.
Pittsburgh won 10 games in 2024, but they lost their final five, including the playoffs, after a wicked 10-3 start with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields under center. Until Pittsburgh gets the QB position settled for the long-term, they won’t go anywhere in the playoffs, period.
22. Los Angeles Chargers - Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
I would not be shocked if the Los Angeles Chargers had Colston Loveland extremely high on their boards, but I also would not be shocked if they didn’t trade up and simply let the board fall to them. With Loveland off the board two picks prior to the Denver Broncos, LA takes Derrick Harmon from Oregon.
Harmon is one of the best DT prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft and would help the Bolts get younger and more stout up front. The Chargers do have a need for another tight end and a wide receiver, and they could also use some iOL help as well.
In 2024, they went 11-6 and made the playoffs, but got blown out in the Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans. Can they take a step forward in 2025?
23. Green Bay Packers - Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Green Bay Packers have a ton of ‘good’ players on their roster and are close to being one of the very best, elite teams in the NFL. They did manage to go 11-6 in 2024, despite being in the loaded NFC North. Well, the division may actually take a step back in 2025.
The Minnesota Vikings will be handing the keys over to de-facto rookie QB, JJ McCarthy, and the Detroit Lions lost both of their coordinators to head coaching jobs this offseason. Green Bay might be in the best position to win the NFC North in 2025.
But I also would not sleep on the Chicago Bears from flirting with nine or 10 wins. Anyway, they take Luther Burden III from Missouri in the first round of this mock draft. Burden is truly elite with the ball in his hands and has shades of Ja’Marr Chase and Deebo Samuel to his game. This could be a slam-dunk pick for the front office.
24. Minnesota Vikings - Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
If you’re a Vikings fan, you might be getting tired of seeing mock drafts that have Nick Emmanwori going to the team with their first-round pick, but the secondary definitely needs some work, and I bet Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the team’s GM, has the unit high on his list for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Cam Bynum departed in free agency, and I just think that Emmanwori, being the physical presence he is, would fit a Brian Flores defense like a glove. The team loaded up along the offensive and defensive lines this offseason, and this has surely given them some flexibility in the NFL Draft.
If JJ McCarthy can be the franchise QB, the Vikings are going to be set for the long-term, as Adofo-Mensah has really done a nice job with this roster over the last few years.
25. Houston Texans - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Despite all the offensive line moves that the Houston Texans have made this offseason, the unit is still a mess if you ask me and needs a first-round prospect along it. The team trades Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders, trading away their best OL player and a top-10 LT. In free agency, they have signed guys like Cam Robinson, Trent Brown, and Laken Tomlinson.
If nothing else, it’s a lot of experience. Well, as I just said, the OL is still a mess, but Tyler Booker is someone who could help it become less of a mess. In my opinion, he is a Day 1 starter at guard and is one of those ‘high floor’ players in the NFL. He feels like a sure-fire stud at guard and could protect CJ Stroud for years to come.
Nick Caserio really has to ensure this OL is as good as possible, as that was their main issue in the 2024 NFL Season. Tyler Booker is a safe but stellar pick for the Texans in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
26. Los Angeles Rams - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Jihaad Campbell would be a great pick for the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Rams are missing an enforcer at ILB, but they get one with Campbell, who is also quite the athlete. GM Les Snead has hit on a ton of draft picks along the defense in recent years, so that does bode well for Campbell if he is their pick.
They signed Poona Ford in free agency after losing Bobby Brown III to the Carolina Panthers. On the offensive side of the ball, they cut Cooper Kupp but did sign Davante Adams and still have Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams, along with a top-10 offensive line.
Jihaad Campbell could be one of the final missing pieces on this roster, which can absolutely make a deep playoff run in 2025.
27. Baltimore Ravens - Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Jahdae Barron can play all over the secondary and might be this year’s version of Brian Branch. Barron is the Baltimore Ravens first-round pick in this 2025 NFL mock draft. It does always seem like the Ravens are needing some sort of secondary help, so they address the need here.
Yet again, and as we have said time and time again, this team fell short in the playoffs and have not won multiple games in the postseason since 2012 when they won the Super Bowl. Baltimore is constantly fielding top rosters in the NFL, but they really don’t have much to show for it besides some MVPs from Lamar Jackson.
There is no reason why the Ravens won’t again be a top team in the AFC and make the playoffs in 2025, but that simply isn’t good enough for this franchise and the talent they have. They grab Jahdae Barron and get an immediate starter in the secondary.
28. Detroit Lions - Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
Getting nastier along the defensive front, the Detroit Lions build on a position of strength and take Tyleik Williams from Ohio State with the 28th overall pick in our latest mock draft. The Lions suffered some brutal defensive injuries in 2024, and that truly derailed their season.
Getting healthier and filling out the roster with top prospects on their board is how this team is going to get back to the top. The Lions could actually use another wide receiver and might have another need in the secondary, but why not go DT here?
Brad Holmes has had success after success in the NFL Draft during his time with the Detroit Lions. He hopes to keep that up in this mock draft. Williams to the Lions with pick 28.
29. Washington Commanders - Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
After trading for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil, the Washington Commanders keep their foot on the gas in this 2025 NFL mock draft, as they grab Nic Scourton from Texas A&M and continue to stack talent. The Commanders could find themselves as the best team in the NFC with the best QB in the NFC when 2025 begins.
Jayden Daniels and the Commanders won 14 total games in 2024 and truly shocked the NFL world. Not only will they likely be contenders this season, but Daniels himself could absolutely be a viable MVP candidate.
And while it might be a fun idea to grab another offensive player in the first round, the defense still has some needs that should be shored up. Dan Quinn truly has his fingerprints all over this roster and would probably love to get a top-tier pass rush prospect at the bottom of the first round.
30. Buffalo Bills - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka is a well-rounded wide receiver and someone who could be an instant-producer in the Buffalo Bills offense in 2025. Now yes, there are some similarities between Egbuka and current Bills WR Khalil Shakir, but why not add another player who is cut from a similar cloth?
Egbuka would give the Buffalo Bills another viable offensive weapon and would only make the offense more dangerous. In 2024, Buffalo again won the AFC East and made a deep playoff run to the AFC Championship Game, where they again fell to the Kansas City Chiefs.
On paper, it’s not even close - the Bills have the better roster and are the better team, but the Chiefs turn on a different switch when the postseason begins. The best chance Buffalo has at getting past KC in the postseason is simply loading up the roster as much as they possibly can.
31. Kansas City Chiefs - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Josh Simmons would be a good pick for the Kansas City Chiefs at the bottom of the first round. The team’s offensive line got worse this offseason, as they traded Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears and signed Jaylon Moore in free agency. Moore figures to be their starting LT, but I am not sure that is going to be a viable solution.
KC could also use another guard, running back, defensive back, tight end, and wide receiver. Folks, I am not sure this roster is all that good. They feel very Patrick Mahomes-reliant at times, and that could be a huge reason why they got blown out in the Super Bowl.
Josh Simmons is a good start for this team. Another thing to note here is that years of having lower draft picks in each round seem to be catching up to them. I do not doubt that they’ll again be at the top of the AFC once again, but I could also see some regression in 2025 as well.
32. Philadelphia Eagles - Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
In the final pick of the first round, the Philadelphia Eagles take a defensive line prospect, and are we surprised? No. Philly lost Josh Sweat and Milton Williams in free agency, so they do have a need along the DL. They also parted with CJ Gardner-Johnson, Darius Slay, and James Bradberry, so the secondary did get a bit weaker as well.
Howie Roseman does still have some work left to do, as this roster overall is weaker now than it was when they were in Super Bowl LIX, but Roseman is among the best GMs and roster-builders in the NFL, so he is going to figure this out. Waler Nolen might be a piece of the defensive puzzle in 2025 and beyond.
That concludes Round 1 of our latest NFL mock draft. Let’s get into the next four rounds, shall we?

63. Kansas City Chiefs - TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
64. Philadelphia Eagles - Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
The Seattle Seahawks shock us a bit with the 50th pick, taking Jalen Milroe from Alabama. The team signed Sam Darnold in free agency, but that deal is actually a one-year contract in practice, so they can move on following the 2025 NFL Season.
The Houston Texans and Detroit Lions are seen bolstering their offensive lines at the bottom of the second round, and the Philadelphia Eagles get a huge weapon in Jayden Higgins to cap-off Round 2 of our latest mock draft. Let’s see what the third round brings for us.

100. San Francisco 49ers - Ajani Cornelius, OT, Oregon
101. Los Angeles Rams - Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
102. Detroit Lions - Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma
At the top of the third round, the New York Giants are seen taking Tyler Shough, the QB from Louisville in a very aggressive and surely controversial move. Shough could be their QB3 for 2025 before taking over in the 2026 NFL Season.
The Houston Texans grab a Tank Dell replacement in Tez Johnson. The big knock on Johnson, though, is his size. He is 5’10” and only 154 pounds. We also see a bit of a run on tackles at the bottom of the third round in Cameron Williams to the Saints, Ajani Cornelius to the 49ers, and Anthony Belton to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Detroit Lions finish off Round 3 of our latest mock draft by taking Billy Bowman, a safety from Oklahoma. Let’s get into Round 4!

136. Baltimore Ravens - Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary
137. Seattle Seahawks - Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
138. San Francisco 49ers - Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
The Las Vegas Raiders used pick 108 on Will Howard from Ohio State, so that definitely could be something to watch for the long-term in Vegas. And with the very last pick in the fourth round of this mock draft, the San Francisco 49ers maybe get some Brock Purdy insurance and grab Quinn Ewers from Texas.
There do seem to be several QB prospects who fall in that pick 100-150 range. Now yes, quarterbacks picked in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds do not have a high chance at cutting it in the NFL as a franchise passer, but heck, look at Purdy himself.
You simply never know if the evaluation of certain QBs are way off-base. Let’s get into our final round of this NFL mock draft, Round 5.

176. Baltimore Ravens - Jamon Dumas-Johnson, LB, Kentucky
We saw three QBs get taken in the fifth round of this NFL mock draft. The Indianapolis Colts are seen grabbing Riley Leonard, who could already be the best QB on the Colts roster, as sad as that may sound. At pick 162, the New York Jets take Dillon Gabriel from Oregon. Gabriel is definitely undersized, but this could be a backup option for the team in the future.
And at pick 163, the very next selection, the Carolina Panthers take Kyle McCord from Syracuse.
Our latest mock draft finishes off with the Baltimore Ravens selecting Jamon Dumas-Johnson, a linebacker from Kentucky.
There you have it; our latest and longest NFL mock draft. Are you satisfied with the haul that your team got?
