2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Resume

Kaleb Johnson, a redshirt senior running back from Iowa, emerged as one of the premier backs in the 2025 NFL Draft class after a breakout 2024 season. A three-star recruit from Hamilton High School in Ohio, Johnson committed to Iowa over offers from West Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Michigan State.

He set the Hawkeyes’ freshman rushing record in 2022 with 779 yards. He battled injuries in 2023 and exploded in 2024, earning First-Team All-Big Ten, Big Ten Running Back of the Year, and Second-Team AP All-American honors. A finalist for the Doak Walker Award, Johnson declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

College Stats

2022 (Freshman): 13 games, 151 carries, 779 yards (5.2 YPC), 6 rushing TDs; 4 receptions, 27 yards; 14 kick returns, 363 yards

2023 (Sophomore): 10 games (3 missed due to ankle injury), 117 carries, 463 yards (4.0 YPC), 3 rushing TDs; 3 receptions, 25 yards

2024 (Junior): 12 games, 240 carries, 1,537 yards (6.4 YPC), 21 rushing TDs; 22 receptions, 188 yards, 2 receiving TDs

Career Totals: 35 games, 508 carries, 2,779 yards (5.5 YPC), 30 rushing TDs; 29 receptions, 240 yards, 2 receiving TDs; 0 fumbles on 537 touches

Notable: Ranked 7th in FBS rushing yards (2024), 2nd in breakaway yards (861), 4th in yards after contact (1,060), 48.9% dominator rating (99th percentile).

Measurables

Johnson’s size-speed combination is elite, with a sturdy, muscular frame ideal for a power back. His 22 MPH GPS-tracked speed in 2024 and 43 explosive runs (10+ yards) highlight his breakaway ability, though his long speed and agility are average for the position.

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka looks at our No. 2 wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft class.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Emeka Egbuka, a standout wide receiver from Ohio State, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most polished and dependable prospects in his class. Ohio State has earned the moniker “Wide Receiver U” by consistently producing elite NFL talent, including Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024 No. 4 overall pick), Garrett Wilson (2022 No. 10 overall), Chris Olave (2022 No. 11 overall), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023 No. 20 overall).

Egbuka follows in their footsteps, bringing a technically refined skill set, high football IQ, and a track record of production in big moments. While he may lack the elite physical traits of some peers, his savvy route running, reliable hands, and versatility make him a high-floor prospect poised to contribute early in his NFL career.

Resume

High School: Steilacoom High School (DuPont, WA), consensus five-star recruit, No. 1 WR and No. 9 overall player in 2021 class (247Sports). Named Washington Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior, amassing 199 receptions, 3,987 yards, and 61 TDs over his prep career, including a record-setting 18-catch state championship game.

College: Ohio State (2021–2024), early enrollee, played alongside NFL-bound receivers like Harrison, Wilson, Olave, and Smith-Njigba. Became Ohio State’s all-time leader in career receptions (205). Helped lead Ohio State to the 2024 National Championship, with six receptions in the title game. Earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2022.

Other: Showed special-teams value as a freshman, leading the Big Ten in kickoff return average (29.0 yards per return). Team captain in 2024, demonstrating leadership and toughness.

College Stats

2021 (Freshman): 11 games, 9 receptions, 191 yards (21.2 YPC), 0 TDs; 20 kickoff returns for 580 yards (29.0 avg.).

2022 (Sophomore): 13 games, 74 receptions, 1,151 yards (15.6 YPC), 10 TDs; 11 carries, 87 yards, 2 TDs.

2023 (Junior): 10 games (missed three due to ankle injury requiring tightrope surgery), 41 receptions, 515 yards (12.6 YPC), 4 TDs.

2024 (Senior): 81 receptions, 1,011 yards (12.5 YPC), 10 TDs; broke Ohio State’s career receptions record (205).

Career Totals: 50 games (38 starts), 205 receptions, 2,868 yards (14.0 YPC), 24 TDs; 23 carries, 150 yards, 2 TDs; 40 returns (22 kick, 18 punt), 725 yards.

Notable: Against ranked opponents (8 games), totaled 51 receptions for 610 yards. Two 1,000-yard seasons, joining Marvin Harrison Jr. as the only Buckeyes to achieve this feat.

Measurables

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 202 lbs

Arm Length: 31.5”

Hand Size: 9.625”

40-Yard Dash: 4.48 seconds

Vertical Jump: 38”

Short Shuttle: 4.12 seconds

Relative Athletic Score (RAS): 9.27 (reflecting strong explosion and short-area quickness)

Notes: Egbuka’s athletic profile is good but not elite, with above-average acceleration, fluidity, and change-of-direction ability. His 4.30 40-yard dash reported at Ohio State’s Junior Day (unverified) suggests potential for better speed than his combine time indicates.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Resume

Colston Loveland, a 6’5″, 245-pound tight end from Gooding, Idaho, emerged as one of the premier tight end prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Loveland starred in football and basketball, earning Idaho Gatorade Player of the Year honors in 2021 as a four-star recruit. At Gooding High School, he set single-game (19) and single-season (91) reception records, amassing 235 catches for 3,139 yards and 35 touchdowns, while also contributing as a linebacker and defensive end.

At Michigan, Loveland quickly established himself despite playing in a run-heavy offense. As a true freshman in 2022, he appeared in 14 games, starting six, and recorded 16 receptions for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. His sophomore year in 2023 was a breakout, with 45 catches for 649 yards and 4 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors and contributing to Michigan’s National Championship run. As a junior in 2024, despite inconsistent quarterback play and a shoulder injury that sidelined him for three games, he set a Michigan tight end single-season reception record with 56 catches for 582 yards and 5 touchdowns, earning Second-Team All-American honors. A Mackey Award finalist, Loveland declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick.

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Quinshon Judkins looks at the second of two highly-touted Ohio State rookie rushers.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Resume

Quinshon Judkins emerged as a standout running back, beginning his college career at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State for his junior season. At Ole Miss, he burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2022, leading the SEC in rushing yards (1,567) and total touchdowns (17), earning First-Team All-SEC honors, SEC Freshman of the Year, and Freshman All-American recognition. In 2023, he continued his dominance with 1,158 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns, again securing First-Team All-SEC honors.

Transferring to Ohio State in 2024, Judkins shared carries with TreVeyon Henderson but still delivered, helping the Buckeyes win a National Championship. He earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors and declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior year. Hailing from Pike Road, Alabama, Judkins was a three-star recruit who amassed 3,000+ rushing yards and 51 touchdowns in his final two high school seasons.

College Stats

2022 (Ole Miss): 274 carries, 1,567 yards (5.7 YPC), 16 rushing TDs; 15 receptions, 132 yards, 1 TD

2023 (Ole Miss): 271 carries, 1,158 yards (4.3 YPC), 15 rushing TDs; 22 receptions, 149 yards, 2 TDs

2024 (Ohio State): 194 carries, 1,060 yards (5.5 YPC), 14 rushing TDs; 22 receptions, 161 yards, 2 TDs

Career Totals: 739 carries, 3,785 yards (5.1 YPC), 45 rushing TDs; 59 receptions, 442 yards, 5 TDs

Notable: Fumbled just twice in three seasons, showcasing elite ball security. Posted PFF rushing grades between 87.1 and 90.7 across all three years. Forced 78 missed tackles in 2024, leading his draft class.

Measurables

Height: 6’0”

Hand Size: 9 1/4”

Relative Athletic Score (RAS): 9.88 (elite, ranking 23rd among RBs from 1987-2025)

Judkins’s Combine performance highlighted his explosive lower body, with elite vertical and broad jump numbers, and his 4.48 40-yard dash was impressive for his size. His 10-yard split was tied for the second-fastest among RBs, underscoring his burst.

2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III (WR) Missouri

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III, the standout wide receiver from Missouri.

Resume

Luther Burden III, a wide receiver from Missouri, entered college as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2022 class. A consensus five-star prospect out of East St. Louis Senior High School, he was ranked as the No. 1 receiver nationally by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports and the No. 6 overall player per 247Sports Composite.

Named MaxPreps National Player of the Year, Burden dominated his senior season with 71 receptions for 1,174 yards and 20 touchdowns. Choosing Missouri over Alabama and Georgia, he became the Tigers’ highest-rated receiver signee in program history and only their fourth five-star recruit in the past two decades.

At Missouri, Burden earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2023 and 2024, Second-Team All-America in 2023, and was a 2023 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. He declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior season.

College Stats

Burden’s 2023 season was a breakout, with 1,212 receiving yards ranking third in Missouri single-season history and five consecutive 100+ yard games, a feat only one other Tiger has achieved. His 2024 production dropped due to a combination of shoulder/arm injuries, an undisclosed illness, and a regressed Missouri passing game (team passing yards fell from 3,671 in 2023 to 2,535 in 2024). Despite this, he maintained an 85.9% catch rate and faced heavier defensive attention.

2022 (Freshman): 45 receptions, 375 yards (8.3 YPC), 6 receiving TDs; 18 rushes, 88 yards (4.9 YPC), 2 rushing TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 punt-return TD

2023 (Sophomore): 86 receptions, 1,212 yards (14.1 YPC), 9 TDs; 13 rushes, 75 yards (5.8 YPC); started all 13 games

2024 (Junior): 61 receptions, 676 yards (11.1 YPC), 6 TDs; 9 rushes, 115 yards (12.8 YPC), 2 TDs; started 10 of 12 games

Career Totals: 192 receptions, 2,263 yards (11.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 40 rushes, 278 yards (7.0 YPC), 4 TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 TD

Measurables

Burden’s measurables reflect a compact, explosive athlete. His below-average height and arm length limit his catch radius, but his elite speed and agility shine in open-field scenarios. Smaller hands are a minor concern, though his drop rate (3.5% over his final two seasons) suggests reliable ball skills.

Height: 5-11

Weight: 206 pounds

Arm Length: 31.25”

Hand Size: 8.5”

40-Yard Dash: 4.41 seconds (95th percentile)

10-Yard Split: 1.54 seconds (90th percentile)

Vertical Jump: Not publicly reported

Broad Jump: Not publicly reported

Other: Elite speed score (88th percentile), 28% career target-per-route-run rate (3rd in 2025 WR class), 0.49 missed tackles forced per reception.

2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

This 2025 NFL Mock Draft is courtesy of Matt Brandon. Also, check out the previous 2025 NFL Mock Draft here.

As the 2025 NFL Draft nears, front offices league-wide are finalizing their evaluations. For many franchises—particularly those with early first-round picks—the draft is a pivotal moment that can define their future. This mock draft examines how each team might navigate the first round and projects how the next crop of elite prospects could transition to the NFL. The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 pick, and their direction seems clear as draft night approaches. Let’s dive into the selections!

1. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward, Miami

The Titans are poised to select Miami’s Cam Ward with the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Barring an irresistible trade offer from a team like the New York Giants, Tennessee will stay put and aim to revitalize the franchise with a dynamic new quarterback.

2. Cleveland Browns: WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado

Travis Hunter climbs to his highest spot yet in my mock drafts. While pairing Myles Garrett with Abdul Carter would terrify opposing offenses, Kevin Stefanski and the Browns won’t pass on the draft’s most electrifying talent. Hunter’s two-way brilliance begs the question: Will he focus on wide receiver or cornerback in the NFL?

3. New York Giants: EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State

The Giants would leap at the chance to grab Ward or Hunter if either slips to No. 3, but with both likely gone, they’ll turn to the best available talent. Abdul Carter’s raw potential and upside make him irresistible, even with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux already in tow. The Giants’ Super Bowl history underscores the value of a dominant defensive line—Carter could be the key to reclaiming that edge.

4. New England Patriots: OL Will Campbell, LSU

Will Campbell edges out Missouri’s Armand Membou as my top offensive lineman in this class. The Patriots will prioritize the LSU product’s ability to anchor left tackle, giving Drake Maye a reliable blindside protector. Campbell may not reach All-Pro heights, but his NFL readiness makes him a safe bet to bolster New England’s line.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: DL Mason Graham, Michigan

Mason Graham is the only top-five constant across my four mock drafts. Jacksonville’s defensive front has talent but lacks a game-changing interior force. Graham, despite an injury-marred 2024, brings elite traits and pairs with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker to form a fearsome pass-rush trio.

6. Las Vegas Raiders…

Draft Buzz and ‘Coach-Speak’ Boost Ashton Jeanty’s Fantasy Football Stock

By Frankie Taddeo Draft Buzz and ‘Coach-Speak’ Boost Ashton Jeanty’s Fantasy Football Stock Draft rumors and “coach-speak” around Ashton Jeanty’s fantasy football value are fueling significant shifts in both betting markets and ADP ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. As we get closer to this month’s NFL Draft, the buzz around trades and teams locking in their most coveted prospect targets is impacting both the fantasy football landscape as well as several popular betting markets. Among the biggest rumors is the Las Vegas Raiders selecting former Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick. We previously highlighted back on March 4 that Jeanty was strongly linked by the experts in the desert to land with the Dallas Cowboys at odds of +260 in their initial offering. Raiders GM’s Comments Shift Jeanty’s Betting Odds Last week, while appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Raiders General Manager John Spytek shared that his 10-year-old son Jack’s draft wish for the Silver and Black is predicated upon fantasy football and touchdowns. My oldest son has made it no secret, if we do not pick Ashton Jeanty at six, that he is walking out of the family and he is gonna find somebody else. Probably whoever takes Ashton. I think he is motivated by fantasy football and touchdowns in fantasy football. Not necessarily all of the team building. John Spytek   .@Raiders GM John Spytek is no stranger to opinions on what to do with the No. 6 in the 2025 NFL Draft… Especially those from his son 😂 📻 https://t.co/xM0RxQYoXW#Raiders | #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/dlWbsU6nxL — SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) April 3, 2025     While many around the sport have been quick to dismiss the interview—holding the belief that teams will never openly reveal their actual draft intentions publicly—oddsmakers are taking Spytek’s words seriously. Over the last several days, the Raiders, who were once offered as high as +450 to land Jeanty, are now the prohibitive favorite to land his services at -150 at DraftKings Sportsbook (as of April 24, 2025). DraftKings Sportsbook odds for Ashton Jeanty’s next team as of April 24, 2025.  Jeanty’s Fantasy Football Value Soars Amid Raiders Rumors Fantasy football managers are jockeying to land the Maxwell and Doak Walker Award winner, who rushed for 4,769 rushing yards while scoring 56 total touchdowns in three seasons for the Broncos. The prospect of landing in Sin City with the Raiders has resulted in the 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up catapulting up to back-end RB1 status. With an overall ADP in the early 30s (RB11-14) in early Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC) drafts, it’s clear that managers are enamored with the projection of landing with a RB-needy Raiders offense. Last season, Las Vegas’ woeful ground game ranked last in the league in rushing yards (1,357), yards per carry (3.6), and rushing first downs (78). Adding a player of Jeanty’s caliber would instantly improve a Raiders offense that recently acquired veteran quarterback Geno Smith. Could the Jets Snag Jeanty If the Raiders Pass? While my first instinct was to dismiss the story of Jack giving his dad an ultimatum that would actually impact the team’s draft strategy, it’s clear that the betting markets and fantasy community are taking it quite seriously. On Sunday, ESPN’s Rich Cimini shared that if the Raiders were to pass on Jeanty, he believes he wouldn’t last past the Jets at pick No. 7. We have three running backs on this team that we’re gonna utilize as much as possible. Aaron Glenn As we highlighted last week, new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn recently told reporters the above, referencing the talents of Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. This was one of the reasons Hall now ranks as an overvalued, risky pick due to his running back ADP range of 6-10. It would be shocking to see the Jets trade Hall in order to replace him with Jeanty in a three-man committee.   “It sounds like” Jets HC Aaron Glenn wants to shift to a RB committee, per @RichCimini Cimini notes the Jets may be open to trading Breece Hall if Ashton Jeanty is available at 7th overall pic.twitter.com/oYOyEgq26u — SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) April 6, 2025     Things are only heating up as we are just 16 days away from the best offseason event on the NFL calendar.

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Draft Stock Decline: Fantasy Football Impact in 2025

Shedeur Sanders NFL Draft 2025 prospect

By Frankie Taddeo Shedeur Sanders NFL Draft 2025: How His Slide Affects Fantasy Value The Shedeur Sanders NFL Draft 2025 buzz is heating up, with his slipping prospects sending ripples through his 2025 fantasy football value as the draft approaches later this month. Not long ago, the former Colorado star was widely viewed as the second-best quarterback in this class, trailing only Miami’s Cam Ward. However, fresh reports suggest that teams like the Browns (picking No. 2) and Giants (No. 3) are cooling on the dynamic dual-threat passer. This shift has prompted a major shakeup in betting markets, with DraftKings Sportsbook now listing Sanders’ draft position at 8.5, heavily favoring the over at -200 odds. As the saying goes in betting circles, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Sanders’ 2024 college season was undeniably impressive. He tossed 37 touchdowns—second-most in the nation—while posting a 74% completion rate, also second-best, en route to earning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors. Yet, despite these gaudy stats, whispers of a “brash” personality have emerged, and critiques of his game are gaining traction. Jets safety Andre Cisco, for instance, took to X to jab at Sanders’ pro day performance, writing, “Boy better stop patting that ball, we breakin onnat earlyyyy,” a nod to concerns about his throwing motion. If Sanders doesn’t go to the Giants, there aren’t many clear landing spots for him in the top 10 … and he could slide. I could see a team trading up for him – maybe even the Saints, who have nine picks – but most of these rosters are already set at quarterback. This is a great outcome for New Orleans, though. I like this match a lot. Sanders is my top-ranked quarterback, and his accuracy jumps off the tape. He completed 74% of his throws last season despite being under constant pressure. Playing in the NFC South with good weather and a few indoor stadiums would ease any arm strength concerns. And he wouldn’t be forced to play right away. Derek Carr, 34, will be with the Saints for at least another season; Sanders could learn behind him before taking over. Mel Kiper Fantasy Football Ripple Effects With oddsmakers now pegging the Saints as Sanders’ likely landing spot at No. 9 (+300, down from +700), his fantasy stock is taking a hit. In redraft leagues, his ADP hovers between QB29 and QB31—making him, at best, a late-round stash if he ends up in New Orleans, where he’d likely sit behind Derek Carr initially. In Dynasty formats, such as those at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC), Sanders is slipping out of the top 15 in rookie drafts. Meanwhile, Cam Ward is climbing into late first-round territory. However, if Sanders falls further on draft night, his current price tag could prove a bargain—especially if he lands in Pittsburgh. Should Aaron Rodgers bypass the Steelers, Sanders might step into a starting role under Mike Tomlin, one of the league’s premier coaches. April 24 can’t come soon enough.
