With uncertainty surrounding quarterback Derek Carr, the New Orleans Saints have to get a quarterback at some point, right? The Falcons aren't going to trade them Kirk Cousins, right?

Luckily, Tyler Shough is still available in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft scenario, giving the Saints at least an interesting option along with Spencer Rattler. Shough could end up going a lot higher than this (maybe even to the Saints in the second round) but if he's there in the third, it would be a worthwhile dart throw for a team like New Orleans.

One of the more underrated losses for the 49ers this offseason was the loss of linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Greenlaw was a huge component of that defense and I think Robert Saleh was excited to have him back in the fold, but he chose to leave for the Denver Broncos. So in this mock draft, the 49ers get South Carolina's tackling machine Demetrius Knight.

The Broncos and Chargers competed for tight ends in NFL Free Agency. Well, to be clear, they competed for Evan Engram. And the Broncos beat the Chargers out for him. Both of these teams still need help at the position, and both of them get some really fun players here in the third round with Harold Fannin going to Denver and Terrance Ferguson heading to the Chargers.
