Join us as we dive deep into each pick the 2025 NFL Draft holds.

Now let’s get to it!

UPDATED 4/10/25

1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
The Titans grab their franchise quarterback of the future in Cameron Ward. With elite arm talent and next-level mobility, Ward has surged up boards and fits perfectly into a system that’s transitioning to a more dynamic passing offense. Tennessee desperately needs a leader under center, and Ward has all the tools to deliver.

2. Cleveland Browns – Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Cleveland makes a surprise move by adding a powerful edge rusher in Abdul Carter. Myles Garrett has been dominant, but pairing him with Carter gives the Browns a nightmare pass rush duo. Carter’s explosiveness off the edge could make him a Day 1 difference-maker.

3. New York Giants – Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
The Giants swing for the most versatile and electric player in the draft. Travis Hunter’s ability to play both cornerback and wide receiver at a high level is rare. Expect the Giants to primarily use him at corner, where his ball skills and instincts can immediately elevate a shaky secondary.

4. New England Patriots – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
New England continues rebuilding the offensive line with one of the safest picks in the draft. Will Campbell brings toughness, technical proficiency, and SEC experience. He’s a plug-and-play left tackle who can protect whoever is under center for years to come.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
The Jags take a big swing on the big-bodied red zone threat in Tyler Warren. Trevor Lawrence needs reliable weapons, especially in the middle of the field. Warren’s combination of blocking and receiving makes him an ideal modern-day tight end.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Las Vegas lands a high-upside quarterback in Shedeur Sanders. The son of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, Shedeur brings poise, leadership, and accuracy. The Raiders are in search of stability under center, and Sanders fits the bill. Geno Smith is already over 35, this pick is very much still in play.

7. New York Jets – Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
The Jets continue to bolster their offensive line with Armand Membou, a fast-rising tackle with a powerful frame. Protecting Justin Fields or his successor is critical, and Membou gives them a long-term piece at either tackle spot.

8. Carolina Panthers – Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Carolina desperately needs to find some elite players on defense, and Shemar Stewart has all the traits you want in an elite edge rusher. He’s long, athletic, and physical—perfect for a team rebuilding its identity on that side of the ball.

9. New Orleans Saints – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
Graham is one of the most disruptive interior linemen in college football. The Saints reinforce their defensive line with a high-motor, high-IQ player who fits well in multiple fronts.

10. Chicago Bears – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Bears add another weapon to their young offense. McMillan is a dynamic, big-play receiver who can complement DJ Moore and give Caleb Williams (or whoever is at QB) another explosive target.

11. San Francisco 49ers – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
In a surprising but very “Shanahan” pick, the Niners take the ultra-versatile Jeanty. He’s a powerful runner with receiving skills—think Christian McCaffrey insurance or even a long-term replacement.

12. Dallas Cowboys – Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Walker is a tenacious edge defender with the athleticism and motor the Cowboys love. With Micah Parsons moving all over the field, adding another dynamic rusher is a smart move.

13. Miami Dolphins – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
A lockdown corner from Michigan, Johnson gives the Dolphins a strong duo opposite Jalen Ramsey. With the AFC loaded with elite receivers, this is a need-based and value-driven pick.

14. Indianapolis Colts – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Colts add another pass catcher for Anthony Richardson. Loveland is a mismatch nightmare—too fast for linebackers and too big for safeties. He could thrive in a play-action-heavy offense.

15. Atlanta Falcons – Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
A local product stays home. Williams is a freak athlete with top-tier traits. Atlanta has lacked a true edge presence for years, and Williams could finally fix that problem.

16. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Mike Green is a small-school standout with massive upside. His bend and burst off the edge are elite, and Arizona takes a swing on a high-ceiling player to elevate its pass rush.

17. Cincinnati Bengals – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Cincinnati shores up its secondary with the versatile and physical Barron. He can play in the slot or outside and is aggressive in run support—perfect for Lou Anarumo’s defense.

18. Seattle Seahawks – Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
A future anchor on the offensive line, Banks can protect either tackle spot and brings physicality and footwork that Seattle’s line has sorely missed in recent years.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Campbell is a sideline-to-sideline force with elite instincts. The Bucs add a defensive playmaker who can eventually take the torch from Lavonte David.

20. Denver Broncos – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Golden is an underrated playmaker with strong hands and deep-threat ability. Denver’s receiving corps needs a spark, and Golden could quickly emerge as WR1.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
The Steelers take a gamble on Dart, a tough and confident QB with a big arm and upside. He brings more mobility than Aaron Rodgers(?) and could compete for the starting job immediately.

22. Los Angeles Chargers – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Justin Herbert needs protection, and Simmons brings nasty trench play and elite run-blocking. He’s still developing as a pass protector but fits well in LA’s rebuilding line.

23. Green Bay Packers – Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Revel is a tall, rangy corner with ball-hawking skills. He’s a fast riser and could complement Jaire Alexander or replace him in case of injury or eventual departure.

24. Minnesota Vikings – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Starks is a versatile, instinctual safety with elite athleticism. He’s a natural leader on the backend and gives Minnesota a much-needed playmaker in the secondary.

25. Houston Texans – Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Conerly adds more protection for CJ Stroud, giving Houston bookend tackles for years to come. He’s agile and has great hand placement—ideal for a zone scheme.

26. Los Angeles Rams – James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Pearce is a physical freak who can win with speed or power. The Rams need help off the edge, and Pearce can eventually be the cornerstone of their next great defense.

27. Baltimore Ravens – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
A thumper in the secondary, Emmanwori fits the Ravens’ mold: tough, smart, and versatile. He can play in the box or roam deep and bring attitude to Baltimore’s defense.

28. Detroit Lions – Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan
Grant stays in Michigan and brings power to the middle of Detroit’s defense. His ability to collapse the pocket will take pressure off Aidan Hutchinson and the Lions’ edge group.

29. Washington Commanders – Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss
A former five-star talent, Nolen gives Washington a disruptive force inside. After trading away key defensive linemen, this pick helps rebuild that once-feared front.

30. Buffalo Bills – Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon
Buffalo adds depth and strength inside with Harmon. He’s stout against the run and can push the pocket—valuable traits in a cold-weather, playoff-hungry team.

31. Kansas City Chiefs – Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State
Zabel brings intelligence and versatility to a Kansas City offensive line that’s seen some turnover. Protecting Mahomes is priority one, and Zabel adds both depth and upside.

32. Cleveland Browns (via projected trade with Eagles) – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
With Deshaun Watson’s future uncertain, the Browns hedge with Milroe. A dual-threat QB with a rocket arm and blazing speed, Milroe could sit, develop, and be the future if Watson doesn’t work out.
