The 2025 NFL draft picture is becoming clearer. Here's a look at our latest first-round mock draft as of March 10, 2025.

 
2 of 33

1. Tennessee Titans: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Titans fans have likely had enough of the Will Levis experience. Sanders is a multi-dimensional talent, though he's far more productive as a thrower than a runner. He completed nearly 75% of his passes this season at Colorado.

2. Cleveland Browns: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)

With Deshaun Watson's struggles, Cleveland could go back to the well at quarterback. Ward might have jumped to the top of the class after a spectacular season for Miami, with over 4,000 yards passing. He also has the mobility to play in most systems.

3. New York Giants: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

The Giants have significant needs at quarterback and the offensive line. With rumors of an Aaron Rodgers addition, the line appears more likely for now. Campbell has a chance to step in immediately as either a tackle or guard.

4. New England Patriots: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner could be an elite two-way player if an NFL team allows, and the Patriots have needs at both corner and wideout. Hunter had an incredible offensive season, with 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 scores.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

The Jaguars defense has been exposed this season, particularly in the secondary. Johnson has been a takeaway machine in three seasons at Michigan with nine picks, and he has plenty of size to play on the outside at 6-foot-2.

 
7 of 33

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

After trading Davante Adams, the Raiders could be in the market for another receiver. McMillan has been an elite producer in back-to-back seasons for the Wildcats, with over 1,300 yards, and would be a welcome addition for new quarterback Geno Smith.

7. New York Jets: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

The Jets' poor offensive line has been clear again this season, even after spending a first-round pick on Olu Fashanu this year. Banks could be a plug-and-play at left tackle.

8. Carolina Panthers: Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State

Carolina Panthers: Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State

There's been a void on the Panthers defense since trading Brian Burns in the offseason. The highly productive Carter recorded 11 sacks and 22 tackles for loss heading into the CFP quarterfinals, and would be an excellent addition for the Panthers edge rush.

9. New Orleans Saints: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The Saints defense is getting old quickly, and need to address the long-term as they rely on veterans like Demario Davis, Cameron Jordan, Chase Young, and Tyrann Mathieu. An All-American this season, Graham has pass-rush skills with nine sacks in three seasons at Michigan.

 
11 of 33

10. Chicago Bears:Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

The Bears are still rostering D'Andre Swift, but Jeanty could be a better long-term answer at running back. Jeanty could take the pressure off the passing game as an elite talent with over 2,600 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns heading into the College Football Playoff.

 
12 of 33

11. San Francisco 49ers: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

San Francisco 49ers: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

The 49ers are never shy about boosting their defensive line, either with stars like Nick Bosa, Leonard Floyd, and Javon Hargrave. Walker is an excellent edge prospect who took a big step forward this season, with 6.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss through 13 games.

 
13 of 33

12. Dallas Cowboys: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Dallas Cowboys: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama
Jeff Hanisch / USA Today Sports Images

The retirement of future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin created a major void at guard for the Cowboys. Booker is arguably the best interior blocker on the board, and could be force as a run blocker at over 350 pounds.

 
14 of 33

13. Miami Dolphins: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Miami Dolphins: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Brett Davis / USA Today Sports Images

Miami found a building block edge rusher in Chop Robinson this year, but could continue to add as they relied on veterans like Calais Campbell and Emmanuel Ogbah. Williams has 14 sacks in three seasons for the Bulldogs.

 
15 of 33

14. Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

The Colts have many questions at key areas during the offseason, and secondary is among them. Starks has been a leader for the Georgia defense over the last three seasons, including six interceptions and 17 passes defensed.

 
16 of 33

15. Atlanta Falcons: Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M

Atlanta Falcons: Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M
Maria Lysaker / USA Today Sports Images

It's clear Atlanta needs to add pass rush help next season after struggling in that area for all of 2024. Stewart's potential outweighs his production. He's recorded only 4.5 sacks in three seasons for the Aggies, but is a former five-star prospect with the tools to be a productive NFL player.

16. Arizona Cardinals: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Arizona came up just short in 2024, and they have some ground to cover on defense. Harmon can not only plug up the interior at 330 pounds, but also help the pass rush as he showed in 2024 with five sacks for the Ducks.

 
18 of 33

17. Cincinnati Bengals: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

Cincinnati could use help at all three levels of the defense, and the pass rush is in tough shape with the retirement of Sam Hubbard and trade demand from Trey Hendrickson. Pearce has a chance to make an immediate impact, with 17.5 sacks over the last two seasons.

 
19 of 33

18. Seattle Seahawks: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Seattle could need to start from scratch with their receiving weapons following the release of Tyler Lockett and trade demand from DK Metcalf. An outlet receiver like Warren could take the pressure off Geno Smith. Warren ascended this year with over 1,000 yards receiving, and he's a great Red Zone target at 6-foot-6.

 
20 of 33

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M

The Bucs offense is in a much better place with Baker Mayfield's resurgence and the addition of Bucky Irving, but their efforts to boost the defensive line could continue. Scourton took a step back this season after recording 10 sacks with Purdue in 2023, but he remains a strong edge prospect.

 
21 of 33

20. Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Denver established their running game this season, but didn't have many big play options for Bo Nix beyond Courtland Sutton. Egbuka has shown up and down production in four seasons at Ohio State but has 23 touchdowns over the last three years.

 
22 of 33

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Junfu Han / USA Today Sports Images

The retirement questions for Cam Heyward grow each year, and the Steelers could use help on the interior anyway. Grant is a massive prospect at nearly 340 pounds and has 6.5 sacks over the last two seasons.

 
23 of 33

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

The Chargers hit the jackpot in this year's draft with Ladd McConkey, but they could use more help for Justin Herbert. Burden has the ability to take the top off a defense, and he can also run after the catch. His draft stock took a hit with only 676 yards this season, nearly half of 2023, as he played through injury.

23. Green Bay Packers: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

A series of injuries have exposed Green Bay's secondary last season. After spending early-round picks on Javon Bullard and Evan Williams this year, they could continue the trend with Morrison. He played only six games this season due to a hip injury, but had nine picks in his first two years with the Fighting Irish.

 
25 of 33

24. Minnesota Vikings: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Minnesota Vikings: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

The Vikings are on the upswing on both sides of the ball, but might need to replace veteran corner Stephon Gilmore. Barron was an All-American at Texas this season, recording five picks.

 
26 of 33

25. Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Houston's offensive line performance went downhill quickly, limiting CJ Stroud's development. They could use help at either right tackle or the interior, and Simmons has experience at both tackle spots.

 
27 of 33

26. Los Angeles Rams: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina

Los Angeles Rams: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
Junfu Han / USA Today Sports Images

The Rams have bandaged together their secondary all season, relying on past their prime veterans and rookies. Revel missed most of this season due to a torn ACL, but his great size and speed makes him a very intriguing early-round prospect.

 
28 of 33

27. Baltimore Ravens: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Baltimore Ravens: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Mark J. Rebilas / USA Today Sports Images

Baltimore's offense shined again this season, but they could be thinking about a long-term replacement for left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Conerly has been a stalwart at left tackle this season for Oregon.

 
29 of 33

28. Detroit Lions: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

Detroit Lions: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Stephen Lew / USA Today Sports Images

Detroit needed defensive help even better their ridiculous series of injuries this season. Nolen is a Texas A&M transfer who could help on the interior as a pass rusher, recording 6.5 sacks as a junior.

 
30 of 33

29. Washington Commanders: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Washington Commanders: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

There's no doubt Washington will look to add offensive weapons for Jayden Daniels in the draft, even after acquiring Deebo Samuel. The productive Loveland scored 11 times in three seasons for the Wolverines, and could be an immediate downfield threat for Daniels.

 
31 of 33

30. Buffalo Bills: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Buffalo Bills: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Peter Casey / USA Today Sports Images

Buffalo's pass rush has been lacking at times this year, and Von Miller could move on. Green put himself on the draft radar with a massive season, recording 17 sacks in 13 games.

 
32 of 33

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Left tackle has been a major issue for the Chiefs this year. The 6-foot-6 Ersery could be a long-term answer with extensive experience at the position.

 
33 of 33

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Philly did a great job revamping their secondary last offseason, but could use another influx after releasing Darius Slay. Hairston features blazing speed and could be in the first round picture after a great combine.
