Way Too Early 2025 NFL Mock Draft
Richard Schultz. Getty Images.Now that the 2024 NFL Draft has finished, it's only logical to look a year into the future and do the same exercise for 2025! So here is my Way Too Early 2025 NFL Mock Draft
*Draft order was picked based on longshot odds to win the Super Bowl
1) Carolina Panthers - QB Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)
If Bryce Young sucks again, is that really that unbelievable? Shedeur Sanders has a Hall of Fame bloodline and elite traits. The Panthers are the longest shot to win the Super Bowl and Shedeur is even money to be the #1 pick right now so this is kind of an inevitable pairing as I'm not doing trades a year out.
2) New England Patriots - EDGE Mykel Williams (Georgia)
The Pats need a ton of stuff still and taking the best Defensive player on the board would likely be just what Jerrod Mayo wants.
3) Tennessee Titans - EDGE/LB Harold Perkins (LSU)
There are rumors to where he'll line up if at EDGE again or stand up Linebacker, but he's a dynamic talent. He could bulk up a bit and if he does he can be an outstanding pass rushing prospect.
4) Denver Broncos - CB/WR Travis Hunter (Colorado)
He's staying in Colorado with outstanding two-way versatility. Something we haven't seen in a very long time.
5) Las Vegas Raiders - QB Quinn Ewers (Texas)
He needs to add some weight but with that arm he's got a chance to be right up there at the top of the draft with Shedeur.
6) New York Giants - QB Carson Beck (Georgia)
This is a make or break year for Daniel Jones. If they're picking at #6, it broke and they reload with another signal caller.
7) Arizona Cardinals - CB Denzel Burke (Ohio State)
The Cardinals have never truly replaced Patrick Peterson and Burke would be this generation's lockdown CB for the Cards.
8) Washington Commanders - EDGE JT Tuimoloau (Ohio State)
They dealt both Montez Sweat and Chase Young and need to revamp along the outside. In this situation they go back to the Ohio State well with the 6'4" 269 lbs. pass rusher.
9) Minnesota Vikings - EDGE Patrick Payton (Florida State)
With Jared Verse gone, he'll get the shine. Minnesota will need a guy to get after Caleb Williams, Jordan Love, and Jared Goff.
10) New Orleans Saints - QB Cameron Ward (Miami)
Do we really think Derek Carr is the long term answer? I can see the Saints going with a multi-dimensional QB in the Washington State transfer.
11) Seattle Seahawks - EDGE Abdul Carter (Penn State)
The Seahawks continue to add to their young, developing pass rush with the 6'3" 233 pounder. He'll need to bulk up a bit, but he's got time.
12) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - CB Benjamin Morrison (Notre Dame)
The Bucs dealt Carlton Davis to the Lions and didn't really replace him. Hopefully they'll get a homegrown answer, but if they're picking 12th, they will likely need to bolster that secondary.
13) Indianapolis Colts - DT Mason Graham (Michigan)
One of the stars of Michigan's title team goes to Indy where he can be a cheaper option than DeForest Buckner.
14) Pittsburgh Steelers - DT Walter Nolan (Ole Miss)
Cam Heyward can't play forever and Nolan offers a good successor.
15) Jacksonville Jaguars - WR Luther Burden III (Missouri)
This could be a potential option if Brian Thomas Jr. works out and they can get off of Christian Kirk's massive contract.
16) Cleveland Browns - EDGE James Pearce Jr. (Tennessee)
Myles Garrett finally gets a Robin. At 6'5" 242 lbs. he can help bend the edge opposite #95.
17) LA Rams - OT Will Campbell (LSU)
A former LSU OT worked out pretty well for them when they signed Andrew Whitworth. They stick in that pipeline with Campbell.
18) LA Chargers - WR Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona)
At 6'4" 205 lbs. Justin Herbert finally gets a big WR to replace Mike Williams. p.s. - Quentin Johnston stinks.
19) Chicago Bears - OT Kelvin Banks Jr. (Texas)
They've got to protect Caleb Williams so he has time to hit Rome Odunze down the field and Banks will help do just that.
20) Atlanta Falcons - QB Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss)
If there is anything we've learned from this year's draft is NEVER rule out the Falcons taking a Quarterback
21) Miami Dolphins - OT/OG Tyler Booker (Alabama)
You've got to keep replenishing the Offensive Line pipeline to keep Tua healthy. That needs to be the top priority every off-season for GM Chris Grier.
22) New York Jets - WR Beaux Collins (Clemson)
Aaron Rodgers is in the final year of his deal, give him all the weapons you can!
23) Green Bay Packers - OT Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M)
They need to replace David Bakhtiari and Zuhn is just the guy they're looking for.
24) Houston Texans - OG Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)
They get CJ Stroud another Buckeye. They'll value Guards highly to give Stroud time and room to step up in the pocket.
25) Dallas Cowboys - WR Noah Thomas (Texas A&M)
Getting CeeDee Lamb someone who can take a little attention off of him is a good thing.
26) Philadelphia Eagles - LB Barrett Carter (Clemson)
The Eagles NEVER Draft a Linebacker high! Well this is a glaring need, even after drafting Jeremiah Trotter's kid, so let's go Carter.
27) Cincinnati Bengals - WR Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State)
Buckeye Receivers continue to live in the 1st Round and Ja'Marr Chase gets a new runningmate.
28) Buffalo Bills - WR Evan Stewart (Oregon)
Keon Coleman gets a new tag team partner and Josh Allen finally starts to breathe a sign of relief.
29) Detroit Lions - EDGE Jack Sawyer (Ohio State)
This just seems like a Dan Campbell type of pick. At 6'4" 260 lbs. he'd look great opposite Aidan Hutchinson.
30) Baltimore Ravens - CB Denver Harris (LSU)
The Ravens need more cover CBs and Harris is the next great one out of LSU.
31) San Francisco 49ers - DT Landon Jackson (Arkansas)
The 49ers never adequately replaced Arik Armstead and Jackson out of Arkansas can get them back to building through the middle of the defense.
32) Kansas City Chiefs - RB Trevor Etienne (Georgia)
Wow they really three-peated! Dynasty! They've got a luxury pick here and don't learn from the Clyde Edwards-Helaire mistake. Who cares?! They'll probably get four in a row now!
