MOCK DRAFT 3.0

February 22nd, 2025

1

tennessee-titans-logo-transparent.png

Cam Ward

At this point, it's still too early to say what the Titans will do. I’ve been made aware of their interest in shopping the pick; however, it takes two to tango. I can envision this pick going in any direction. Although the organization’s comments hint at Hunter or Carter, I still believe there is significant pressure on a first-year GM to opt for a quarterback.

QB | MIAMI | 6’2 | 223

2

cleveland-browns-logo-transparent.png

Abdul Carter

This will be an interesting pick. With Ward off the board, the Browns may be unconvinced by Shedeur's fit in the AFC North and are unwilling to invest in another high-profile quarterback. Instead, they're opting for a full rebuild, aiming to find the next defensive cornerstone to replace Myles Garrett.

EDGE | PENN ST. | 6’3 | 259

3

new-york-giants-logo-transparent.png

Shedeur Sanders

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are firmly on the hot seat. Unless they address their quarterback needs before the draft—perhaps with Matthew Stafford—I believe they’ll have no choice but to select a quarterback under pressure. Meanwhile, Shedeur’s camp is likely pushing hard to move him to a major market. This simply makes sense.

QB | COLORADO | 6’2 | 215

4

new-england-patriots-logo-transparent.png

Travis Hunter

With the flow of the board, the Patriots are practically gifted Travis Hunter. With Tee Higgins likely staying in Cincinnati and wide receiver options running thin, New England secures a lottery ticket. In this scenario, Hunter is encouraged to play primarily as a wide receiver while still taking key snaps as a defensive back. Drake Maye and Travis Hunter are poised to be the next big thing.

CB/WR | COLORADO | 6’1 | 185

Carolina Panthers

5

jacksonville-jaguars-logo-transparent.png

Mason Graham

For a new regime, investing in the trenches is essential for a strong start. Mason Graham, the best player available at pick 5, will join an already formidable defensive line, hopefully helping the Jaguars secure late-season victories.

DT | MICHIGAN | 6’3 | 320

6

oakland-raiders-logo-wallpapers-wallpaper-cave-1.png

Will Johnson

The Raiders have several options, but their cornerback unit remains a weak spot. Will Johnson is a long, physical, and rangy corner with the potential to become a standout NFL player. Pete Carroll hopes that Johnson can help revive a "Legion of Boom" style impact in his new role.

CB | MICHIGAN | 6’2 | 202

7

New-York-Jets-Logo.png

Will Campbell

Jets' new GM Darren Mougey comes from the Broncos, who boasted the NFL's top offensive line. With young talent already in place, the Jets have an opportunity to build from the inside out. Campbell will contribute for years, whether at left tackle or playing inside.

OT | LSU | 6’6 | 323

8

carolina-panthers-logo-transparent.png

Jalon Walker

The Panthers can improve every facet of their defense, and Walker is the ideal prospect to lead that charge. At just 20 years old, he's only beginning to reveal his full potential. An athletic, physical, and instinctive linebacker who is quickly emerging as a talented pass rusher, this is a home run pick that promises immediate contributions in every capacity.

EDGE/LB | GEORGIA | 6’2 | 245

9

new-orleans-saints-logo-transparent.png

Mykel Williams

The Saints lack talent at the edge position. With Kellen Moore coming in, he understands the importance of big, physical trench play—especially from Georgia Bulldogs. Additionally, the Saints have brought in former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, who will undoubtedly stress the need for sizeable linemen.

EDGE | GEORGIA | 6’5 | 265

10

Chicago_Bears_logo.svg.png

Kelvin Banks Jr.

Perhaps the Bears will address the offensive line in free agency, but until then it remains their top priority. Although Banks might not be my personal choice at pick 10, he is still the consensus top tackle available at this spot. Ben Johnson will need to upgrade this unit if he hopes to protect Caleb Williams and replicate the offensive success he had in Detroit.

LT | TEXAS | 6’4 | 320

11

580b585b2edbce24c47b2b55.png

Shemar Stewart

This one might shock some people. I expect that after the combine, Shemar Stewart will start generating top-10 buzz. He's a physical marvel who will garner plenty of attention in Indianapolis. Although the 49ers could very well go OT here, in this scenario they return to their dominant defensive roots.

EDGE | TEXAS A&M | 6’6 | 290

12

dallas-cowboys-logo-transparent.png

Tetairoa McMillan

The Cowboys have long sought a true wide receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb. McMillan fits the role perfectly, as he doesn't need to immediately become the top option. Alongside Lamb, McMillan can excel at what he does best and help reinvigorate Dallas' passing attack in 2025.

WR | ARIZONA | 6’5 | 212

13

miami-dolphins-logo-transparent.png

Armand Membou

The Dolphins are in an interesting position and could go several ways. One straightforward way to retool is to dominate in the trenches, and Membou is the perfect fit in Miami. He's quick, nimble, athletic, and can climb to the second level. More importantly, he's physical and tough, capable of adding a desperately needed mean streak to the team.

RT | MISSOURI | 6’3 | 313

14

indianapolis-colts-logo-transparent.png

Tyler Warren

The Colts don't have many glaring holes on their roster—at least none that can be fixed at pick 14. So, they (foolishly) give Anthony Richardson another shot with an added weapon. Fit is everything for Warren, and his ability after the catch, along with his overall versatility, will mesh perfectly in Indianapolis.

TE | PENN ST. | 6’6 | 257

15

atlanta-falcons-logo-transparent.png

Mike Green

In 2024, the Falcons ranked 31st in sacks, highlighting their desperate need for a true pass rusher. Their trade attempt for Matthew Judon failed to resolve this issue. Mike Green can get to the quarterback—period. He's an electrifying defender who can immediately galvanize this unit.

EDGE | MARSHALL | 6’4 | 248

16

arizona-cardinals-logo-transparent.png

Josh Simmons

New Cardinals OL coach Justin Frye comes directly from Ohio State, where he coached Simmons. Arizona is no stranger to drafting Ohio State tackles; in 2023, they secured Paris Johnson Jr., who has already delivered solid returns. Now, they pair him with another Buckeye, and Simmons’ experience at right tackle should ease the transition.

LT | OHIO STATE | 6’5 | 310

17

1024px-Cincinnati_Bengals_logo.svg.png

Walter Nolen

Now that the Bengals appear ready to invest heavily in offense, they will need to prioritize bolstering the defensive trenches early. Nolen is a big, disruptive, and athletic lineman with the potential to develop into something special. He will prove to be a valuable asset for the team in crucial games.

DT | OLE MISS | 6’3 | 305

18

seattle-seahawks-logo-transparent.png

Tyler Booker

The Seahawks' primary need is on the offensive line—specifically the interior. Booker is a high-floor, plug-and-play guard who can immediately step in as a starter for Seattle.

LG | ALABAMA | 6’5 | 325

19

tampa-bay-buccaneers-logo-transparent.png

Jihaad Campbell

While the Buccaneers might opt for an EDGE or CB in this round, the board seems to favor finding their next Lavontae David. Campbell is a pro-ready LB with the athleticism, pedigree, power, and instincts to develop into a high-level contributor.

LB | ALABAMA | 6’3 | 244

20

denver-broncos-logo-transparent.png

Ashton Jeanty

Fortunately for the Broncos, they have few needs to fill. As such, they can afford to select a running back in the first round—landing one of the top prospects in the draft. Jeanty will keep the offense moving and allow Sean Payton to continue supporting Bo Nix in his second year.

RB | BOISE ST. | 5’9 | 215

21

768px-Pittsburgh_Steelers_logo.svg.png

Jahdae Barron

While this pick would likely be used on a WR or CB, I opted for the latter today. Barron is an instinctive and versatile playmaker who can provide relief to an underperforming unit. His play style is unique and really complements Joey Porter Jr. nicely.

CB | TEXAS | 5’11 | 200

22

2560px-Los_Angeles_Chargers_logo.svg.png

Colston Loveland

Given their schematic emphasis, I'm not convinced the Chargers will target a wide receiver in the first round, and I suspect they'll make a short-term play for Davante Adams. Instead, I believe Los Angeles is more inclined to add a pass-catching tight end who can contribute to the ground game. Loveland's natural pass-catching ability and Michigan ties make this fit like a glove.

TE | MICHIGAN | 6’5 | 245

23

580b585b2edbce24c47b2b25.png

Nic Scourton

So far, I see this pick likely as a DL or CB. However, given how the board falls, the Packers opt for a big, athletic, and high-upside EDGE. Scourton has tremendous potential in the right system, and the Packers are the ideal team to patiently develop him.

EDGE | TEXAS A&M | 6’4 | 285

24

minnesota-vikings-logo-transparent.png

Malaki Starks

The Vikings get lucky as Malaki Starks falls to pick 24. In a division boasting three strong passing attacks, Starks is the perfect selection to counter them. He's a long, rangy, instinctual ball-hawk who can also contribute effectively against the run.

SAF | GEORGIA | 6’1 | 205

25

houston-texans-logo-transparent.png

Emeka Egbuka

With Tank Dell's health in question and Stefon Diggs out of contract, the Texans are looking to add more firepower. While I could make a case for both Egbuka and Golden in this scenario, I've chosen to arbitrarily go with Egbuka. He played with CJ Stroud at Ohio State and would immediately add high value to a competitive team.

WR | OHIO STATE | 6’1 | 205

26

608968b9d598a5000448eaa2.png

Josh Conerly Jr.

With Alaric Jackson potentially hitting the market and an already ailing offensive line, the Rams look to re-tool. As I've mentioned throughout this process, fit will be crucial for Conerly Jr. The Rams are the perfect spot for him, as they can effectively play to his quickness, technique, and athleticism.

LT | OREGON | 6’4 | 315

27

baltimore-ravens-logo-transparent.png

James Pearce Jr.

Speculation on Twitter has begun regarding James Pearce Jr.'s alleged off-field issues—something to keep an eye on. However, Pearce Jr. is extremely enticing, and it's hard to imagine all 32 teams passing him up. The Ravens, known for their keen eye for athletic, malleable defenders, should be all over this one.

EDGE | TENNESSEE | 6’5 | 243

28

detroit-lions-logo-transparent.png

Kenneth Grant

Now that Dan Campbell is on his own, he'll continue seeking players who embody the true values of Detroit football. Grant, a Michigan product, brings the knee-cap biting edge the Lions are after. He's an enormous yet surprisingly athletic lineman who can help the team win on the ground.

DT | MICHIGAN | 6’3 | 339

29

Washington-Commanders-Logo.png

Luther Burden III

Burden might not typically reach this pick, but in this scenario, he does. I believe it’s the perfect fit for both sides. Burden is a versatile, high-energy wide receiver who excels with manufactured touches. Playing alongside McLaurin in Kingsbury's system provides the ideal setting to mask any potential deficiencies while maximizing his strengths.

WR | MISSOURI | 5’11 | 208

30

buffalo-bills-logo-transparent.png

Matthew Golden

While the Bills might have to address defense here, Golden is too good to pass up, offering a skill set that Buffalo currently lacks. He reminds me a bit of Stefon Diggs—quick, athletic, tough, and a natural separator. This could be Josh Allen's guy for the next five-plus years.

WR | TEXAS | 6’0 | 195

31

kansas-city-chiefs-logo-transparent.png

Donovan Jackson

After the Super Bowl, all eyes are on the Chiefs to re-tool the offensive line. Perhaps Kingsley Suamataia can develop further this offseaon, but Jackson provides guard and tackle versatility to play on the line. It remains to be seen if Trey Smith leaves Kansas City, but regardless, Jackson will be a big addition.

LG/LT | OHIO STATE | 6’4 | 320

32

philadelphia-eagles-logo-transparent.png

Derrick Harmon

With Milton Williams and Josh Sweat potentially departing in free agency, the Eagles do what they do best—drafting linemen. Harmon is a super-charged defensive tackle with great size who can effortlessly get to the quarterback. He's the perfect replacement in Philadelphia.
