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…
2025 NFL Mock Draft
2025 NFL Mock Draft This 2025 NFL Mock Draft is courtesy of Matt Brandon. With free agency moves and trades reshaping rosters, NFL teams are now turning their focus to the 2025 NFL Draft, just weeks away. Below, we explore how the top prospects might land in the first round and what it means for the ever-shifting fantasy football landscape. 1. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward, Miami In an earlier mock, the Giants traded up for this spot, but after signing Jameis Winston, they’ll stand pat. Instead, the Titans nab Miami’s Cam Ward as their franchise cornerstone. Ward’s composure and creative playmaking give him a higher floor than expected, and with Tennessee bolstering their O-line and possibly adding another weapon alongside Calvin Ridley, they’re building a solid foundation for his growth. Fantasy Outlook: Ward’s fantasy ceiling is tempered by Tennessee’s lackluster skill-position group. Still, his dual-threat style—extending plays and adding rushing value—offers upside. He’s a mid-tier QB2 for 2025 but could climb higher with development. Check out Cam Ward’s rookie profile. 2. Cleveland Browns: EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State Abdul Carter is the draft’s top talent here, and Cleveland won’t force another QB gamble. Fans may clamor for a signal-caller, but the Browns opt for Carter, pairing him opposite Myles Garrett to form a ferocious pass-rush duo. The QB search continues, but this pick fortifies their defense. 3. New York Giants: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado The Giants added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, but both are on short-term deals and are viewed as bridge quarterbacks. Shedeur Sanders, however, is a talented rookie with franchise QB potential. His arm strength and pocket toughness stand out, though I’m not sold on his top-tier hype. QB demand could push him up draftboards, giving New York a long-term option. Fantasy Outlook: Sanders skipped throwing drills at the Big 12 pro day but will display his arm on April 4 at Colorado’s event. If selected, he’d boost Malik Nabers’ output, but his unproven elite status makes him a risky fantasy investment—more of a wait-and-see QB2. 4. New England Patriots: WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado The Patriots land perhaps the draft’s best overall player in Travis Hunter, a two-way phenom. They need O-line help, but Hunter addresses bigger gaps—adding a weapon for Drake Maye and a playmaker in the secondary. If anyone can thrive on both sides in the NFL, it’s Hunter in New England. Fantasy Outlook: Hunter’s offensive snap count is uncertain, but his 2024 Heisman win proves his talent. With New England’s thin WR corps (Demario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte), he could emerge as Maye’s go-to target, offering WR2 upside if he sticks at receiver. 5. Jacksonville Jaguars: DT Mason Graham, Michigan Mason Graham is a lock for any top-10 pick. He may not look like a classic dominant DT, but his disruptive college career—shredding blockers with ease—translates to the pros. After free agency splashes at WR, O-line, and DB, Jacksonville doubles down on defense. Graham alongside Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker could wreak havoc. 6. Las Vegas Raiders: RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State Taking a running back this high feels bold, but Ashton Jeanty turbocharges the Las Vegas offense. It’s not my preferred strategy, given RB depth in this class, but Jeanty’s elite skills fit the Raiders’ need for a dependable playmaker. Additionally, Vegas seems to favor the Raiders making this selection. Fantasy Outlook: Jeanty echoes Marshawn Lynch’s success under Pete Carroll and could thrive in Vegas. As the top fantasy rookie, he’d claim the starting job instantly in a thin RB room, potentially posting top-10 RB numbers in year one. Check out Ashton Jeanty’s rookie profile. 7. New York Jets: EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M Shemar Stewart’s low sack totals at Texas A&M belie his impact—run defense was his focus, not pass-rush explosion. His Senior Bowl dominance and ideal frame (size, length, burst) scream Pro Bowl potential. Unleashed as a pass rusher, he could shine in 2025. 8. Carolina Panthers: LB Jalon Walker, Georgia Post-Brian Burns, Carolina’s front seven needs athleticism and depth. Jalon Walker, a versatile, hard-hitting linebacker, fits perfectly. No Panther had more than six sacks last year—Walker’s rookie impact could change that. 9. New Orleans Saints: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State Beyond Chris Olave, the Saints lack passing-game firepower. Even with Juwan Johnson, Tyler Warren’s size and playmaking ability add a new dimension. Fantasy Outlook: Warren, the draft’s top TE, won’t match Brock Bowers’s rookie splash but could carve out a role in a thin Saints offense. He’s unlikely to start 2025 as an every-down player but could finish as a top-20 TE, with dynasty value outpacing redraft. Check out Tyler Warren’s rookie profile. 10. Chicago Bears: OL Armand Membou, Missouri Caleb Williams took the most sacks in 2024, and despite free agency O-line upgrades, Chicago isn’t finished. Armand Membou, a dominant right tackle (90.6 PFF grade), excels in pass protection (82.2) and zone blocking (87.4), giving Williams the shield he needs. 11. San Francisco 49ers: OL Kelvin Banks, Texas Free agency hit the 49ers hard, leaving them with multiple roster holes to fill. The offensive line stands out as the top priority, and while Will Campbell or Armand Membou might be preferred, San Francisco happily settles for Texas standout Kelvin Banks Jr.—a massive, reliable blocker to shore up the trenches. 12. Dallas Cowboys: CB Will Johnson, Michigan Dallas faces needs at wide receiver, pass rush, and cornerback. Will Johnson, once a top-five prospect in pre-draft buzz, is a steal at No. 12. His versatility and high-end skills bolster the Cowboys’ secondary, giving Jerry Jones a cornerstone with Pro Bowl potential. 13. Miami Dolphins: S Malaki Starks, Georgia Jevon Holland’s exit to the Giants left a gap, and though Miami added veteran help, Malaki Starks brings a different dimension. A versatile, playmaking safety, he’s a movable chess piece who can transform the Dolphins’ backfield into a strength. 14. Indianapolis Colts: EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee The Colts might eye tight end Coleston Loveland, but I see them prioritizing

Rookie Scouting Profile: Michael Penix Jr.
FullTime Fantasy Rookie Scouting Profile: Michael Penix Jr. Michael Penix Jr. (QB) Washington Ht. Wt. 40-Time NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-2 216 4.57* Late 1st 3.10 Tua Tagovailoa * Pro Day College Production Penix was born in Cookeville, TN on May 8, 2000, but was mostly raised in Dade City, Florida. Attended Tampa Bay Technical High School where he compiled 4,243 passing yards and a 61-to-6 TD-to-INT ratio in two seasons as starter. Penix enrolled at Indiana on February 18, 2018 and completed 21-of-34 passes for 219 yards and a score in three games while redshirting. In 2019, Penix started six games and led the Hoosiers to a 5-1 record in those games before a shoulder injury ended his season. Named Indiana’s starter ahead of 2020, Penix again made six starts with a 5-1 record and earned Second-team All-Big-Ten honors before tearing his ACL in a 27-11 home victory against Maryland. 2021 campaign was derailed by a left shoulder injury after five starts. On December 14, 2021, Penix transferred to Washington. Ranked second in FBS with 4,641 passing yards and was named to the All-Pac-12 Second-team in 2022. Concluded college career winning the Maxwell Award, was named Second-team AP All-American, and was a Heisman Trophy finalist after leading the Huskies to the national championship game. Strengths • Strong throwing arm with outstanding accuracy and delivery on deep balls. • Impressive Pro Day measurables. Posted 97th percentile wingspan, 88th percentile hand size, 93rd percentile 40 time, and both his vert and broad jumps were in the top 5th percentile. • Good decision-maker who won’t waste a lot of throws or turn the ball over. Adept at reading through multiple progressions. • Has experience taking snaps under center and in a pro-style offense. • Good feel for pressure. Knows how to step up and get rid of the ball to avoid hits. Only 7.6% of his dropbacks in 2023 resulted in a sack. Concerns • Is already 24 years old with two right ACL tears and major injuries to both shoulders on his resume. • Accuracy drops off when forced outside of the pocket. • Throwing mechanics and release are inconsistent and need refinement. Issues could be further exasperated by the fact that Penix is a southpaw. • College playoffs are good indicators of the best (phenomenal vs. Texas) and worst (struggled vs. Michigan) that Penix brings to the table. • Production in 2023 was helped by an outstanding supporting cast. Fantasy Outlook The two most recent games that Michael Penix played are indicative of his full college resume. There are plenty of positives, like deep-ball accuracy, decision-making, and overall command. However, there are concerns exposed by Michigan that make Penix a polarizing prospect. His draft stock seems to be on the rise. Penix is mocked to the Raiders at 13, which would be good and bad for his 2024 fantasy value. Las Vegas signed Gardner Minshew which could lead to a developmental season for Penix. That’s troubling for a rookie who is already 24. Especially in dynasty formats. Then there are the two major knee and shoulder injuries to consider. That’s a lot of risk for dynasty managers to take into account. Unless Penix falls outside the top 20 in Superflex rookie drafts, I do not anticipate rostering him much.

College Production
A three-star recruit out of North Murray High School in Chatsworth, Georgia, where he played quarterback, receiver, defensive back, and special teams, Ladd McConkey accumulated 3,000 yards and scored 36 touchdowns during his senior season. That explosive output led to interest from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and the hometown Bulldogs, where McConkey enrolled in June of 2020. After redshirting in 2021, McConkey was named to the All-SEC Freshman squad after posting 31/447/5 numbers and an impressive 154.0 QB Rating when targeted for the national champs. In 2022, was named to the Second-team All-SEC team after scoring a team-high seven touchdowns and catching 58-of-76 targets for 762 yards. He missed the opening of his junior year with a back injury, ultimately posing a 30/478/2 line in nine games.
