MOCK DRAFT 4.0

March 16th, 2025

1

tennessee-titans-logo-transparent.png

Cam Ward

From the beginning, my intuition has leaned toward the Titans selecting a quarterback with the first pick. I was told they were seriously considering trading the pick at one point, but given their free agency moves and the overall logic of the situation, I’d be surprised if they don’t select Cam Ward.

QB | MIAMI | 6’2 | 223

2

cleveland-browns-logo-transparent.png

Shedeur Sanders

The Browns traded for Kenny Pickett and may still pursue Russell Wilson in free agency. However, like the Giants, Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski need results fast, and a QB can provide job security. Myles Garrett seems confident they have a plan, and I highly doubt it’s Pickett.

QB | COLORADO | 6’2 | 215

3

new-york-giants-logo-transparent.png

Travis Hunter

In this scenario, the Giants miss out on a QB with both top options going 1 and 2. Instead, they take the best player available—Travis Hunter—who pairs with Malik Nabers to form an electric WR duo while also bolstering the secondary. Don’t worry, Giants fans—Joe Schoen addresses QB in Round 2.

CB/WR | COLORADO | 6’1 | 185

4

new-england-patriots-logo-transparent.png

Abdul Carter

The Patriots would have preferred Travis Hunter to fall to No. 4, but with the Giants taking him at No. 3, they pivot to Abdul Carter—an elite EDGE with massive upside. This move gives Vrabel the tools to build a dominant defense. If either Hunter or Carter is available at No. 4, I’m personally guaranteeing that’s the pick.

EDGE | PENN ST. | 6’3 | 259

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. Graham is a productive, technical, and reliable defender who will produce for years.

DT | MICHIGAN | 6’3 | 320

6

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

Ashton Jeanty

The Raiders have several options here, and for weeks, I’ve projected Will Johnson. But in Mock 4.0, we take a turn. Pete Carroll knows the value of a strong rushing attack, and last season, the Raiders had one of the league’s worst ground games, cycling through underwhelming backs. Jeanty will immediately energize this unit and bring a spark to Vegas.

RB | BOISE ST. | 5’9 | 215

7

New-York-Jets-Logo.png

Armand Membou

The Jets drafted Olu Fashanu in 2024, hoping he locks down the LT spot for years. With Morgan Moses now in New England, the RT job is wide open. Membou brings technical skill, athleticism, and power, making him a potential cornerstone in New York. A Fashanu-Membou duo is an ideal foundation for the new regime.

RT | MISSOURI | 6’3 | 313

8

carolina-panthers-logo-transparent.png

Jalon Walker

The Panthers need upgrades across their defense, and Walker is the perfect prospect to lead that effort. At just 20, he’s only scratching the surface of his potential. The Georgia product is athletic, physical, and instinctive, with a rapidly developing pass-rush skill set. This pick is a home run, promising immediate impact across the board.

EDGE/LB | GEORGIA | 6’2 | 245

9

new-orleans-saints-logo-transparent.png

Mykel Williams

The Saints need help at EDGE, and with Kellen Moore coming in, he knows the value of big, physical trench play—especially from Georgia Bulldogs. Plus, former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley will emphasize the need for size up front. Williams has the upside to become a high-level contributor.

EDGE | GEORGIA | 6’5 | 265

10

Chicago_Bears_logo.svg.png

Will Campbell

I know the Bears have already made big upgrades to their offensive line, but with Campbell available at 10, he's hard to pass up. From what I’ve heard, they’re seriously considering Ashton Jeanty, but with him off the board, they pivot to upgrading their LT spot with a tough, athletic, and motivated prospect. Worst case, Campbell eventually replaces the 32-year-old Thuney at OG.

LT | LSU | 6’6 | 323

11

580b585b2edbce24c47b2b55.png

Will Johnson

With Campbell and Membou off the board, the 49ers turn their focus to replacing Charvarius Ward, who just signed with the Colts. Johnson hasn’t received the attention he deserves in the draft process, but he’s a big, physical, and instinctive corner with the skill set to develop into a true No. 1 in the NFL.

CB | MICHIGAN | 6’2 | 202

12

dallas-cowboys-logo-transparent.png

Tetairoa McMillan

The Cowboys have long searched for a true complement to CeeDee Lamb, and McMillan is a really solid fit. He won’t need to be the top option right away, allowing him to thrive alongside Lamb and help reinvigorate Dallas’ passing attack in 2025.

WR | ARIZONA | 6’5 | 212

13

miami-dolphins-logo-transparent.png

Kelvin Banks Jr.

The Dolphins have several options, but a clear path to retooling is strengthening the trenches. Banks' athleticism and upside fit well in Miami’s system, helping to protect Tua and add toughness to the team.

LT | TEXAS | 6’4 | 320

14

indianapolis-colts-logo-transparent.png

Tyler Warren

The Colts don’t have many glaring needs—at least none fixable at pick 14. Instead, they strengthen their passing attack, giving the winner of the QB competition (Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones) another dynamic weapon. Fit is key for Warren, and his versatility and after-the-catch ability make him a perfect match for Indianapolis.

TE | PENN ST. | 6’6 | 257

15

atlanta-falcons-logo-transparent.png

Shemar Stewart

Despite trading for Matthew Judon in 2024, the Falcons still struggle to generate pressure. To address this, they take a big swing on Shemar Stewart, who dominated the combine. An ultra-athletic and powerful lineman, Stewart has the tools to develop into a high-impact pass rusher.

EDGE | TEXAS A&M | 6’6 | 290

16

arizona-cardinals-logo-transparent.png

Walter Nolen

In free agency, Jonathan Gannon added Josh Sweat but missed out on Milton Williams. So, the Cardinals look to the draft for a dominant interior lineman. Nolen is a powerful, athletic, and disruptive DT with the potential to develop into a top-tier defender in the NFL.

DT | OLE MISS | 6’3 | 305

17

1024px-Cincinnati_Bengals_logo.svg.png

Mike Green

With the Bengals set to invest heavily in their offense, bolstering the defensive trenches becomes a priority. Regardless of Trey Hendrickson’s future, they need another impact player on the D-line. Mike Green is an explosive pass-rusher who can make game-changing plays in the shootouts Cincinnati is bound to find itself in.

EDGE | MARSHALL | 6’4 | 248

18

seattle-seahawks-logo-transparent.png

Josh Simmons

The Seahawks need to strengthen their offensive line, and while the interior is a bigger priority, they can address that in Round 2. Here, they secure their future OT. Simmons has experience at both LT and RT. Without injuries, Simmons could be in the conversation for the best OT in the draft—an ideal fit for Klint Kubiak’s system.

LT | OHIO STATE | 6’5 | 310

19

tampa-bay-buccaneers-logo-transparent.png

Jihaad Campbell

While the Buccaneers could target an EDGE or CB, the board favors finding their next Lavonte David. Campbell is a pro-ready linebacker with the athleticism, pedigree, power, and instincts to become one of the league's best at the position.

LB | ALABAMA | 6’3 | 244

20

denver-broncos-logo-transparent.png

Omarion Hampton

Fortunately for the Broncos, they have few pressing needs, allowing them to take a running back in the first round. Hampton is a big, physical workhorse who also brings versatility and athleticism to create explosive plays.

RB | UNC | 6’0 | 220

21

768px-Pittsburgh_Steelers_logo.svg.png

Jahdae Barron

After trading for DK Metcalf, I don’t see the Steelers taking a WR in Round 1. Despite some additions at CB, the position still needs upgrades. Barron is an instinctive, versatile playmaker who can bolster an underperforming unit. His unique playstyle complements Joey Porter Jr. perfectly.

CB | TEXAS | 5’11 | 200

22

2560px-Los_Angeles_Chargers_logo.svg.png

Colston Loveland

I struggled to choose between Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden, and Colston Loveland here. Ultimately, Harbaugh goes with the Michigan man, who strengthens the passing attack while contributing to the run game. Loveland has the rare skill set of a pass-catching TE who can be a focal point in an offense—a perfect fit.

TE | MICHIGAN | 6’5 | 245

23

580b585b2edbce24c47b2b25.png

Matthew Golden

The Packers have plenty of depth at WR but lack a true game-changing No. 1. I’m fully convinced Matthew Golden can be that guy. His elite route-running, natural separation, strong catch-point ability, and blazing speed make him the perfect weapon for Jordan Love.

WR | TEXAS | 6’0 | 195

24

minnesota-vikings-logo-transparent.png

Malaki Starks

The Vikings luck out as Malaki Starks falls to pick 24. In a division with three strong passing attacks, he’s the ideal pick to counter them. A long, rangy, and instinctual ball hawk, Starks also provides solid run support.

SAF | GEORGIA | 6’1 | 205

25

houston-texans-logo-transparent.png

Emeka Egbuka

Although the Texans added Christian Kirk, they understand the importance of WR depth—especially with Tank Dell's health in question. Egbuka is the perfect long-term complement to Nico Collins: a smart, reliable, and effective weapon who already has chemistry with C.J. Stroud from their college days.

WR | OHIO STATE | 6’1 | 205

26

608968b9d598a5000448eaa2.png

Shavon Revel Jr.

The Rams made great strides on defense last year with three promising rookies, but their secondary still needs work. Injuries kept Revel Jr. from fully participating in the pre-draft process, but he’s a dynamic, free-flying CB with elite closing speed and ball skills—exactly what they need.

CB | ECU | 6’3 | 193

27

baltimore-ravens-logo-transparent.png

James Pearce Jr.

Speculation about James Pearce Jr.'s alleged off-field issues is swirling on Twitter—something to monitor. Still, his talent is undeniable, and it’s hard to see all 32 teams passing on him. The Ravens, with their knack for identifying athletic, versatile defenders, should be all over this one.

EDGE | TENNESSEE | 6’5 | 243

28

detroit-lions-logo-transparent.png

Grey Zabel

The Lions don’t have many holes, but if they’re not fully confident in Mahogany, they could upgrade at OG with Zabel. The NDSU product is a strong, reliable, and intelligent lineman who can be a Day 1 contributor for a team aiming to stay on top.

IOL | NDSU | 6’6 | 305

29

Washington-Commanders-Logo.png

Luther Burden III

The Commanders just traded a Day 3 pick for Deebo Samuel, but that shouldn’t stop them from taking Burden at 29. The Missouri WR is a perfect fit in Washington—Kliff Kingsbury can use him as a versatile weapon at the line of scrimmage, while Jayden Daniels can capitalize on his deep-threat ability.

WR | MISSOURI | 5’11 | 208

30

buffalo-bills-logo-transparent.png

Trey Amos

The Bills bolstered their defensive front in free agency but still have plenty of work to do at CB. Some may see this as early for Amos, but he’s one of my personal favorites in the draft. The Ole Miss product is a sticky, reliable, and confident man-cover corner who thrives in tough matchups

CB | OLE MISS | 6’0 | 190

31

kansas-city-chiefs-logo-transparent.png

Derrick Harmon

Chris Jones is now 30, and if the Chiefs learned anything from their 2025 Super Bowl loss, it's that you can never have too many dominant interior linemen. Harmon is an athletic, productive DT with a knack for getting to the QB.

DT | OREGON | 6’5 | 310

32

philadelphia-eagles-logo-transparent.png

Nick Emmanwori

The Eagles have the most well-constructed roster in the NFL, so they're free to go in any direction they want. But after trading Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to Houston, perhaps they could use an upgrade at safety. Emmanwori put the world on notice with his combine performance and would be a nice addition to an already stacked defense.
