In our latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the first overall pick gets traded. Let's get into this three-round mock draft. There not being a clear-cut top QB prospect will indeed make the 2025 NFL Draft quite interesting.
There have already been rumblings about the Tennessee Titans being willing to trade out of the first overall selection. I am sure as we get closer to the NFL Draft in late-April, there could be more teams who call up the Titans front office.
Truly, this is a bad year to need a franchise QB and to need blue-chip talent in general. Teams may be more willing to trade down in this case to find where the best value is, which could be in the later first round and into the second round.
In our latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft, a team makes a bold jump to the first overall pick.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: First overall pick gets traded in this three-round mock
1. New York Jets (via TEN) - Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
The New York Jets begin the 2025 NFL Draft with a massive, franchise-altering move. They trade up six slots, which is a huge jump this high in the NFL Draft. They trade up with the Tennessee Titans to land Cam Ward, the dual-threat QB from Miami.
Let's lay this out here; if an NFL team feels like someone can truly be their guy, no other opinion matters. We have already heard some rumors that the Jets could be trying to trade up for Cam Ward. If they believe in him that much, they ought to make the move. Ward may need some development, but that isn't a huge deal.
The Jets aren't going to be super competitive this year, so they could start a one-year option while the coaching staff develops Ward. This could pay off in a huge way for the Jets franchise, a team that desperately needs some direction.
2. Cleveland Browns - Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
The Cleveland Browns should trade Myles Garrett at some point, but will they? Well, if I was the GM, I'd simply take the strongest offer I could possibly get, period. The Browns may take Abdul Carter, the best pass rusher in the 2025 NFL Draft class even if they don't trade Garrett.
Cleveland doesn't have a clear-cut QB prospect that they can warrant using the second overall pick on. The next best thing in the NFL is to bolster the trenches, so that is what GM Andrew Berry does with this selection.
3. New York Giants - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
A pick that feels certain from a mile away, the New York Giants use the third overall pick on Shedeur Sanders, and unless they are able to trade for a veteran QB like Matthew Stafford, they will be taking a passer with their first-round pick.
I am not even going to list out the massive mistakes that the Giants have made in recent years, as we do that all the time here, but the mistakes were so egregious that the team really has no choice but to take whoever is left on the board between Ward or Sanders.
It's the situation this team is in, and you get the impression that they have to either make the playoffs in 2025 or show notable growth with a rookie QB. Joe Schoen may only have one more shot to get this right, and while Brian Daboll is not a bad head coach by any means, he's got a lot to prove as well. Can Shedeur Sanders save this broken franchise?
4. Carolina Panthers (via NE) - Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Trade! It's back-to-back Colorado players, as the Carolina Panthers trade up four spots with the New England Patriots to take Travis Hunter, the dual-threat player who won the Heisman Trophy in 2024. Hunter may be best at cornerback, but the Panthers do have a notable need at wide receiver. Bryce Young needs another weapon, and Hunter could be that for them.
I would also almost say that in the Panthers specific situation, they would have more value in Hunter as a wide receiver who occasionally appears on defense in certain packages. Young showed a lot of growth after his benching in 2024, so it is now up to him to take that next step, but it is also up to the Panthers to give him another weapon as well.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
A pick that makes a ton of sense is Mason Graham heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick five in this NFL Mock Draft. The Jags hired Liam Coen to be their new head coach, which was a solid move. The team has to get more stout in the trenches and also have to finally figure out how to make something consistently work with Trevor Lawrence.
I will say that Lawrence probably hasn't been quite as good as many of us thought he would be when he entered the league in the 2021 NFL Draft, but the Jags have now had multiple head coaches and general managers during his four years in the NFL.
That simply isn't sustainable, so something has to get worked out. The Jaguars should look to improve both their offensive line and defensive line this coming offseason, and adding another wide receiver would also make sense, as Christian Kirk could be on his way out the door.
Tight end could be a need as well depending on what they do with Evan Engram.
6. Las Vegas Raiders - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Las Vegas Raiders take Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty with pick six. This is quite high for a running back, but Jeanty does truly seem special. He'll instantly beef up this Raiders run game, which was the worst in the NFL last year.
Pete Carroll is also the head coach, and we know what kind of offense he likes to run. All in all, Jeanty fills a need and fits the team quite well. Some may disagree with a running back going this high, but we've kind of seen a resurgence in the RB position in recent years.
The clear-cut best RB in the 2025 NFL Draft is Ashton Jeanty. He heads to Vegas.
7. Tennessee Titans (via NYJ) - Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Tennessee Titans decided to accept the offer to trade down with the New York Jets. They now pick at no. 7 in this NFL Mock Draft. With that seventh pick, they land Will Campbell, the best tackle prospect in the NFL Draft class. This is a sound move and pick for the Titans, as they get more protection along the offensive line and kind of set the stage for a rookie QB to come aboard at some point.
The Titans notably fired former GM Ran Carthon earlier this offseason and replaced him with Mike Borgonzi, who was most recently in the Kansas City Chiefs front office. Borgonzi does have a tough offseason ahead of him, though, as there isn't a clear-cut QB prospect worthy of the first overall pick.
That's the primary reason why the Titans traded down in this NFL Mock Draft. Campbell can be a fixture along the OL for years to come. And I would expect Tennessee to address the QB position later on in this mock draft...
8. New England Patriots (via CAR) - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
With the New England Patriots willing to trade down with the Carolina Panthers, they now sit with the eighth pick in this mock draft. They take the massive Arizona wide receiver in Tetairoa McMillan. Drake Maye needs a ton of help on that offense. Their offensive line might just be the worst in the NFL right now, and their WR room isn't much better.
The Pats have to find a good balance between addressing both positions in free agency and in the 2025 NFL Draft. They do have plenty cap space to sign someone like Trey Smith and Ronnie Stanley, for example - they could sign both quite easily.
They could also afford Tee Higgins, but the Bengals seem poised to extend him. Anyway, the Pats take McMillan here.
9. New Orleans Saints - Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
The New Orleans Saints have to simply get more young, cheap talent on their team. I would hope that they finally acknowledge the need to hit the reset button. Perhaps New Orleans does make moves to free up some cap space and get younger.
They just hired Kellen Moore to be their new head coach, which is a solid get. He just came off winning the Super Bowl in his first year as offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles. The long-time coordinators gets a shot to be a head coach. I would expect that he gets a longer leash.
New Orleans takes Mykel Williams from Georgia at pick nine and begins to rebuild this bloated, old roster. The Saints may look to address the QB position later on in this mock draft.
10. Cincinnati Bengals (via CHI) - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Trade! The Cincinnati Bengals make a pretty notable climb up the first round of this NFL Mock Draft and snag Tyler Warren, the tight end from Penn State. This is a huge selection for the Bengals, who have, in recent years, 'bought' their defense via free agency and have drafted more on the offensive side of the ball.
Some of their best defensive players in recent years like Trey Hendrickson did come from free agency. I say that because I don't see how that changes in 2025 - Cincy needs to get some immediate production on defense. Their defense was among the worst in the NFL in 2024 and basically wasted an elite season from Joe Burrow.
Going 9-8 with how well Burrow played simply cannot happen again. They'll address the defense in free agency and will make a bold selection like Tyler Warren in the 2025 NFL Draft. Adding a complete tight end to this offense would make it better, if that's even possible.
11. San Francisco 49ers - Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The San Francisco 49ers do have a need in the secondary, specifically at cornerback. Charvarius Ward is a free agent, and it does not seem like San Fran is going to bring him back. They could get younger and better at the position by drafting Will Johnson, the top CB out of Michigan with pick 11.
The Niners had another season marred by injuries, and when you look at their recent history, their 'down' years are almost always due to being horribly injured. You have to wonder if this team needs to redo their training and recovery staff.
The team has a huge decision to make about the futures of Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the team will be moving on from Samuel in some capacity this offseason. But will they pay Brock Purdy $60 million per year if that's what it takes? Maybe. Maybe not.
We'll know quite a bit about the team when the 2025 NFL Draft rolls around. Do not be surprised if they target defense.
12. Dallas Cowboys - Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
The Dallas Cowboys grab Luther Burden at pick 12. They do need a WR2 alongside CeeDee Lamb, so this is a good selection. However, Dallas is almost always dysfunctional as long as Jerry Jones is running the show. They moved on from Mike McCarthy and seemed to fool around with the contracts of Dak Prescott and Lamb.
It's not clear at this point what they will do with Micah Parsons - if they elect to trade him, Dallas will have a huge need for another pass rusher. In this instance, they extend Parsons and add another key player on offense. Running back is also a huge need for this team as well, but WR could be the play here with Ashton Jeanty off the board.
13. Miami Dolphins - Kelvin Banks Jr, OT, Texas
It would be wise for the Miami Dolphins to get more stout in the trenches. At pick 13, they do just that. The Dolphins truly have two major issues, and they aren't easy to fix. Firstly, their QB, Tua Tagovailoa, simply cannot stay consistently healthy, and he seems to be a perfectly average QB with all things considered.
They paid him recently, but he's got virtually nothing to show for. When he's on the field and things are right and solid around him, he's an effective QB. It's not great that a QB plays based on how his circumstances are. With a team investing millions upon millions of dollars into a franchise QB, you'd ideally want them to be among the elite at the position.
Miami also can't play in the cold, so I took Kelvin Banks Jr here at pick 13. Perhaps getting stronger in the trenches helps this team shed the 'can't play in the cold' label. This could also elevate the play of their QB.
14. Indianapolis Colts - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Tyler Booker will be an immediate starter for the Indianapolis Colts at pick 14. Indy does have some needs along the interior of the offensive line, but they do have a much bigger issue - Anthony Richardson simply isn't a viable QB in the NFL. Heck, he may not even be a good backup-caliber passer. The Colts have to kind of hope for a miracle in 2025. Perhaps Richardson hits his stride somehow. If not, I could envision this franchise looking a lot different in the future.
They do largely have a solid roster and a good bit of talent on either side of the ball. Tyler Booker will be a very good pro and someone Indy will be able to rely on.
15. Atlanta Falcons - Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
It is safe to say that the Atlanta Falcons need some defensive help. That unit was atrocious in 2024, but they did bring in Jeff Ulbrich to run the show. He was most recently with the New York Jets. There will be some personnel changes with the Falcons in the offseason.
Many of their defensive players are getting up there in age, and I could truly envision this team cleaning house to an extent on that side of the ball. At pick 15, they take perhaps the best safety in the NFL Draft in Malaki Starks from Georgia. Pairing him with stud safety Jessie Bates III and also having AJ Terrell in the secondary does give the Falcons a very promising future on the backend.
A pass rusher could also be the target here. Their defensive line absolutely needs more reinforcements as well. The NFC South is wide open, so with a strong offseason, Atlanta could be right back in the mix.
16. Arizona Cardinals - James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee
The Arizona Cardinals have to keep getting their defensive front seven up to snuff. They take James Pearce Jr from Tennessee who is simply able to get in the backfield at a high level. This team doubled their win total from 2023 into 2024. That is an impressive feat - and with a strong offseason, they could squeeze out another win or two.
And depending on what happens with the other teams in the NFC West, this division absolutely becomes winnable in the 2025 NFL Season. At one point in 2024, the Cardinals were actually 6-4 and in first place in the division. They are close.
About halfway through the first round, the Cardinals take Pearce from Tennessee in their quest to build a frisky playoff team in 2025.
17. Chicago Bears (via CIN) - Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
In the trade down with the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chicago Bears are actually still able to get a very good prospect for their team. Armand Membou is someone who is probably going to kick inside to the interior offensive line at the NFL level, but that is perfectly OK.
Chicago has to get stronger along the offensive line, but with that said, Caleb Williams seems to be a QB that will always take a lot of sacks. That might not be something he can avoid - it could simply be his play style.
The Bears hired Ben Johnson to be their new head coach, which was a move that definitely caught the attention of many people across the NFL. With a strong offensive mind now in the building and them also hiring a very good defensive coordinator in Dennis Allen, this is not a team to mess with in 2025.
A Wild Card berth is absolutely on the table for the Chicago Bears in the 2025 NFL Season.
18. Seattle Seahawks - Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
The Seattle Seahawks are going to eventually have to find a long-term QB replacement for Geno Smith, who is a 'good' QB at best. Seattle isn't going to win a Super Bowl with Smith under center, and after his 2022 breakout season, he has regressed in 2023 and 2024.
With no QB available at pick 18, Seattle takes Jalon Walker, the LB/EDGE from Georgia. Mike Macdonald gets another toy for the defensive side of the ball, but Seattle does have huge needs along the offensive line. That could be the way they go with the 18th pick.
They also may have a big decision to make in the offseason about the future of DK Metcalf. There could be major change on the horizon for the Seahawks.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have some major change on the horizon. Most notably, wide receiver Chris Godwin is a free agent this offseason. He would be coming off of a dislocated ankle, but before that injury, he was on pace to have an insanely productive year. I am sure Tampa would like to get Godwin back, but you have to turn the page at some point.
At pick 19, they take WR Matthew Golden from Texas. Golden can do a little bit of everything at the position. Furthermore, Mike Evans is getting old, so the Evans/Godwin duo we have seen dominate for so long could be coming to an end.
The Bucs do need to get some young, cheap talent on offense to prepare for the future. They did also lose Liam Coen this offseason. He was their offensive coordinator in 2024. Tampa did win the NFC South in 2024 but could be at risk of regressing in the 2025 NFL Season.
20. Denver Broncos - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Denver Broncos taking Colston Loveland at pick 20 is not surprising and could be where they go in the 2025 NFL Draft. Many mock drafts across the NFL landscape do have the Broncos taking Loveland. Some may think that it’s getting a bit too boring always seeing Loveland mocked to the Broncos, but there is a reason for that, folks.
Denver had some of the worst tight end production in the NFL in 2024. It’s their most urgent offensive need, and Loveland does play like a bigger wideout, which is something Sean Payton covets strongly in his offenses.
Bo Nix gets an immediate, high-volume weapon in Loveland for the long-term. He is not the prospect that Tyler Warren is, but the Michigan TE is a day one contributor and could end his rookie season as the team’s best playmaker.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers - Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team to follow in the 2025 NFL Offseason. We know pretty confidently that the team probably isn’t going to bring Russell Wilson back. That is indeed the right move. The Steelers were 10-3 at one point and ended up losing their final five games of the season with Wilson as the starter, including their lone playoff game.
Wilson just isn’t a starting-caliber QB anymore. He would be a great backup option for another team. The Steelers could try to retain Justin Fields, but I have no idea what their goal would be with the iffy Fields under center. He isn’t a franchise QB, either. With them picking where they are, it would take a haul to move up in the first round to get into QB range.
They will take cornerback Shavon Revel from East Carolina here in this NFL Mock Draft. It’s a position of need for the team and could help the defense remain playing at a high level.
22. Los Angeles Chargers - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Emeka Egbuka is going to be a very good pro football player. He comes from a long line of stud Ohio State wide receivers who have made it big in the NFL. OSU is legitimately turning into a wide receiver factory.
Egbuka fills a huge need for LA - this team does need another wide receiver. Now yes, Egbuka isn’t a big-bodied “X,” but he can do just about anything you ask of him and has a great shot to have a consistent, long NFL career. The Chargers broke out a bit in 2024 and won 11 games, but they got blown out in the first round of the NFL playoffs against the Houston Texans.
This may have simply boiled down to a talent issue - most of the players that were on the Chargers during their 5-12 season last year were on the team in 2024. Another offseason of acquiring top talent should have LA on the brink of contention.
23. Green Bay Packers - Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
It is very likely that long-time Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander does not return to the team in the 2025 NFL Season. He has battled injuries for multiple years now, and it seems like GB has had enough. This would give them a notable need in the secondary, so at pick 23, they land Benjamin Morrison from Notre Dame.
The Packers are an interesting team - they are the most ‘good’ team in the NFL if that makes sense. They truly aren’t yet elite and are missing a few elite pieces to get to the next level. However, with the Detroit Lions having lost both of their coordinators this offseason, and the Minnesota Vikings likely pivoting to JJ McCarthy, the Packers could sneak away with the NFC North title in 2025.
The Chicago Bears aren’t there yet as we know. Green Bay’s front office has to have a strong offseason and have to bring in the right players to get this team over the hump. They went 11-6 in 2024 and have won 20 total regular season games since the start of the 2023 NFL Season.
24. Minnesota Vikings - Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Pick 24 of this NFL Mock Draft sees the Minnesota Vikings taking Derrick Harmon from Oregon. The Vikings, as we know, have a massive decision to make in 2025 - do they keep Sam Darnold around for another season or let him test free agency?
I am not sure the Vikes are prepared to bid on Darnold’s services, and I doubt they try anything fancy. The team did use their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on JJ McCarthy from Michigan. So while Sam Darnold did help the team win 14 games in 2024, McCarthy is waiting in the wings, and the longer the team waits on him, the shorter time they have with him on his rookie deal.
Minnesota will beef up their defensive line in the first round and will probably also address their secondary and iOL in free agency as well.
25. Houston Texans - Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Houston Texans really had an identical season to 2023 if you think about in. In 2023 and 2024, they went 10-7, won the AFC South, and won one playoff game, losing in the Divisional Round. And what I will say about this team is that many in the NFL landscape did kind of think the Texans regressed a bit from 2023. However, despite the apparent regression, they still made it into the second round of the postseason.
With the right offseason additions, Houston could be a contender. The AFC South is quite weak unless the Colts and Jaguars figure something out - the Titans are a non-factor for the next couple of seasons.
CJ Stroud has to play better, but Houston does need to improve their offensive line. However, in this NFL Mock Draft, they take Tyleik Williams from Ohio State and beef up their defensive line. With the interior offensive line; that unit can be addressed in free agency. And plus, Houston does need some immediate production from their iOL, so that was my primary reason for not taking that position in this mock draft.
26. Los Angeles Rams - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Los Angeles Rams are prepared to move on from Cooper Kupp, but there have been some rumblings that this team could also part ways with Matthew Stafford for the right price. I will believe it when I see it, but I guess you never know, especially in today’s aggressive NFL. The Rams take Ohio State tackle Josh Simmons here at pick 26 in this mock draft.
Left tackle Alaric Jackson is a free agent, so perhaps LA wants to bank on Josh Simmons becoming their long-term LT. The team has done a nice job at rebuilding their defensive and offensive lines over the last few offseasons.
Wide receiver and cornerback could also be selections here for the LA Rams.
27. Baltimore Ravens - Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
It’s becoming slightly ridiculous that the Baltimore Ravens continually fail in the postseason. This team has not won multiple games in the postseason since 2012 when they won the Super Bowl. Joe Flacco was still the QB back then, and Jim Harbaugh was in the middle of coaching the San Francisco 49ers.
If you ask me, the Ravens may have a coaching issue - John Harbaugh is a very good head coach, but has he hit his ceiling in the NFL? The last time this team made the Super Bowl was back in 2012, and with how good of teams they have had in recent years, you’d have expected at least one more Super Bowl appearance.
In this mock draft, they take Texas tackle Cameron Williams from Texas. I guess they can get stronger along the offensive line, but it’s kind of hard to truly identify what this team needs to get over the hump. I would say that the urgency has to be kicked up a notch in Baltimore.
28. Detroit Lions - Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The Detroit Lions endured some brutal defensive injuries in the 2024 NFL Season. It was actually insane to witness, and it was a primary reason why this team went one-and-done in the playoffs, even with the first-round bye.
Well, they lost both Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to head coaching jobs, so with two new coordinators, Detroit could be at risk of regressing a bit in 2025. They are the best roster in the NFL when healthy, but losing both coordinators is going to hurt.
They will grab defensive tackle Walter Nolen at pick 28. Getting deeper on defense is the smart route for GM Brad Holmes in his continued quest to build a Super Bowl contender in Detroit.
29. Washington Commanders - Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
I would keep an eye out for the Washington Commanders this coming offseason, as they have every reason to pull off a major move. Myles Garrett did request a trade from the Cleveland Browns, and if the Browns do listen to offers, it would not shock me if the Commanders were at the forefront of those offers.
This team defied all expectations in 2024 - they won 12 games in the regular season and came within one game of the Super Bowl with rookie QB sensation Jayden Daniels. It was quite astounding to witness if you ask me.
They were playing with house money and do have some roster holes to fill, but with some of the most cap space in the NFL and a front office that clearly knows what they are doing, this team could be a true contender in 2025. I went with Nic Scourton, a pass rusher, at pick 29 in this NFL Mock Draft.
I would not be shocked to see this team target a wide receiver or even someone in in the secondary here in the first round. But if they trade for Garrett, this first-round pick heads to Cleveland.
30. Buffalo Bills - Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
At pick 30, the Buffalo Bills take Nick Emmanwori, a safety from South Carolina. The Bills, yet again, lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in a dramatic postseason game, but Josh Allen did win the NFL MVP award in 2024. Buffalo does need another wide receiver, some younger bodies on the defensive line, and some help in the secondary.
They will grab a tough, hard-hitting, physical safety at pick 30. We did kind of see the Bills secondary get exposed at times in the 2024 NFL Season. It would not shock me to see the Bills going secondary here in the 2025 NFL Draft.
31. Kansas City Chiefs - Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
The Kansas City Chiefs need to find a long-term solution at left tackle. They’ve got the best interior offensive line in the NFL with Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, and Trey Smith. However, Smith is a free agent and could reset the guard market, so the Chiefs may also have to find a starting RG for 2025.
However, even if Trey Smith leaves, the LT position is a more urgent need for this team. You can find a competent starting iOL in free agency quite easily. The Chiefs take Minnesota tackle Aireontae Ersery at pick 31.
The team will be able to pick a position of need rather than just going for the best player available, but KC also needs a true RB1, another wide receiver, and could need another linebacker and safety if Nick Bolton and Justin Reid leave in free agency.
32. Philadelphia Eagles - Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles keep true to their colors and take defensive tackle Kenneth Grant at pick 32. With Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, and Zack Baun all set to hit the free agency market in 2025, Howie Roseman may not be able to retain all three.
There may be a DL vacancy, so Michigan DT Kenneth Grant is the pick here. It’s clear that Roseman will not shy away from loading up along the defensive line, and he does it here with Grant, as he comes into a stacked situation.
Notably, the Eagles recently lost former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to the New Orleans Saints to be their new head coach, but stud defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is poised to return for his second year on the job in 2025.
Let’s see how the second round of this 2025 NFL Mock Draft looks.
Round 2
Here is the second round of our latest NFL Mock Draft. Let's highlight the most notable picks.
33. Cleveland Browns - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
34. New York Giants - Harold Fannin Jr, TE, Bowling Green
35. Tennessee Titans - Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
36. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jahdae Barron, S, Texas
37. Las Vegas Raiders - Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
38. New England Patriots - Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon
39. Chicago Bears - Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
40. New Orleans Saints - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
41. Chicago Bears - Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
42. Tennessee Titans (via NYJ) - Shemar Turner, EDGE, Texas A&M
43. San Francisco 49ers - Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia
44. Dallas Cowboys - Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

50. Seattle Seahawks - Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State
51. Denver Broncos - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
52. Pittsburgh Steelers - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
54. Green Bay Packers - Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
55. Los Angeles Chargers - JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
56. Buffalo Bills - Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
57. New England Patriots (via CAR) - Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
58. Houston Texans - Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
59. Baltimore Ravens - Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
60. Detroit Lions - Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
61. Washington Commanders - TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
62. Buffalo Bills - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
63. Kansas City Chiefs - Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
64. Philadelphia Eagles - Savion Williams, WR, TCU
The Tennessee Titans grabbed Alabama QB Jalen Milroe at the top of the second round in a very bold selection. Milroe will need some developing, but this is much better value than Cam Ward at the first overall pick if you ask me. A few slots later, with one of the New York Jets picks, they grab Shemar Turner from Texas A&M to improve their defensive line.
The Denver Broncos, at pick 51 in this NFL Mock Draft, grab a dual-threat running back from Ohio State in TreVeyon Henderson, who some have said can be the 'joker' for Sean Payton. This is a notable pick to keep an eye on if it actually happens. The very last pick in the second round went to the Philadelphia Eagles. They take the toolsy, 6'5" Savion Williams from TCU. This reeks of a Howie Roseman pick in a good one.
And the Eagles always have a top-tier stable of playmakers on offense. Let's get into the third round now!
Round 3
Here is the third round of our latest NFL Mock Draft. Let's highlight the most notable picks again
65. New York Giants - Emery Jones, OT, LSU

81. Cincinnati Bengals - Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
82. Seattle Seahawks - Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss
83. Pittsburgh Steelers - Gunnar Helm, DT, Texas
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
85. Denver Broncos - Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
86. Los Angeles Chargers - Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
87. Green Bay Packers - Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)
88. Jacksonville Jaguars - Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers
89. Houston Texans - DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
90. Los Angeles Rams - Zy Alexander, CB, LSU

The New York Giants take Emery Jones from LSU to grab some more protection for their rookie QB, Shedeur Sanders. This is a do-or-die year for this front office and coaching staff, in my opinion. A few picks later, the Las Vegas Raiders take the very small but swift and agile Tez Johnson from Oregon. Johnson is the 'adoptive' brother of the Bo Nix family, believe it or not. This absolutely feels like a Raiders selection.
At pick 87, the Green Bay Packers take the high-rising Elijah Arroyo from Miami (FL). Arroyo may actually go in the second round in late-April, so this could be a huge steal for the Packers. With the 93rd selection in this mock draft, the New Orleans Saints take a developmental QB prospect in Quinn Ewers. This could be the first true project in the coaching career of new Saints coach, Kellen Moore. It will be interesting to see if Moore can be a QB guru as a head coach in the NFL.
