The 2025 NFL draft is this Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Tennessee Titans hold the first pick. Here is who we think every team will end up drafting.
1: Titans: Cam Ward, QB
The Titans need a quarterback badly after Will Levis’ horrible season. Cam Ward is the clear-cut best quarterback in this draft, making this pick a no-brainer. Ward should succeed with his high athleticism and pocket vision.
2: Browns: Abdul Carter Edge
Even with Myles Garrett signing an extension, getting Carter would allow them to start their rebuild by potentially trading Garrett for multiple first-round picks. Carter’s elite athleticism, paired with his massive 6’3, 250-pound frame, makes him very similar to Garrett.
3: Giants: Travis Hunter CB/WR
The Heisman winner is the first of his kind; he plays wide receiver and cornerback, something no one in the modern era is doing. His athleticism and what he offers on both sides of the ball make him unpassable.
4: Patriots: Will Campbell, OT
The Patriots need to help their franchise player, Drake Maye, by getting him the best blindsided tackle in the draft. Even though Campbell’s arm size is a concern, he was able enough at LSU that it didn’t even matter. Jayden Daniels and Garrett Nussmeier had great success in the last three seasons for LSU; no doubt that was because Campbell was protecting their blind side.
5 Jaguars: Mason Graham, edge
It’s safe to say the Jaguars need defense after another very disappointing season. Graham is a national championship winner and fits perfectly with this team. His strength and power make guarding him difficult for any team.
6: Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB
Pete Carroll has had the most success as a head coach when he has a dominant running back with him. Think Reggie Bush at USC and Marshawn Lynch with the Seahawks. Jeanty is an explosive back who is very hard to bring down once he gets going. He played great against all opponents, even when they went to Eugene to play Oregon. The Raiders have a solid offensive line; now paired with Geno Smith and Brock Bowers, they would become an up-and-coming team two to three years down the road.
7. Jets: Tyler Warren, TE
The Jets have a great defense, but their offense is a different story. After replacing Aaron Rodgers with Justin Fields, this team needs someone besides Garrett Wilson on the offensive side to help Fields. Warren’s ability to be helpful in terms of blocking and catching makes him a perfect match with Fields.
8. Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR
With not having an elite receiver since DJ Moore, the Panthers need to help Bryce Young as much as possible. McMillan is tall enough to bail out Bryce Young on poor throws.
9. Saints: Shedeur Sanders, QB
Ever since franchise quarterback Drew Brees retired, the Saints have been the definition of “mid.” Sanders can help this team get over the hump by filling their need at the quarterback position with his insane athleticism.
10. Bears: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT
With Ben Johnson as their head coach and Caleb Williams as their quarterback, the future is bright in Chicago. What teams always need is an offensive line. Banks was one of the best tacklers in 2023; however, some injuries derailed his 2024 season. The Bears can afford the risk with the money and players they have. If Banks hits, he could be a Pro Bowl tackle for the next 10 years.
11. 49ers: Armand Membou, OT
Another team that had a very disappointing season after a narrow defeat in Super Bowl 58, the 49ers need a lot of young help, and Membou has a lot of potential, especially if he can be mentored by future Hall of Famer Trent Williams. They have similar frames and would be perfect alongside each other.
12. Cowboys : Colston Loveland, TE
The Cowboys’ “all in” mindset has been awful recently. They haven’t done anything to help this push, and now CeeDee Lamb is a free agent. They need Loveland as he provides playmaking and tough catchability that they could use aside from Lamb and help Dak Prescott.
13. Dolphins: Will Johnson, CB
The Dolphins are looking to trade away star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and who better to replace him than Will Johnson? At Michigan, Johnson made many standout plays, including his crazy interception in the 2024 national championship to help boost the team to a 14-3 run to win.
14. Colts: Jalon Walker, LB
The Colts always love to draft defense, so if Walker falls to them at 14, they wouldn’t be able to resist. Walker could play linebacker, or if they need an edge, he could play there as well.
15. Falcons: Shemer Stewart Edge
The Falcons really need defense, and Stewart can be the difference maker. He stands at a whopping 6’6” and 290 pounds, making him hard to stop.
16. Cardinals: Mykel Williams, Edge
Cardinals need an edge rusher; with the defense lacking last year, Williams would help their pass rush immensely. Along with Josh Sweat, Williams will put immense pressure on quarterbacks.
17. Bengals: Mike Green Edge
The Bengals would’ve likely made the playoffs if they had some good defensive players besides Trey Hendrickson. Mike Green’s natural athleticism is off the charts, making him a no-brainer.
18. Seahawks: Matthew Golden, WR
Golden will be a great replacement for DK Metcalf; with great speed and playmaking ability, he has the potential to be similar to Xavier Worthy.
19. Buccaneers: Jihaad Campbell LB
After losing star linebacker Devin White, the Bucs need a replacement, and Campbell is arguably the best linebacker in the draft.
20. Broncos: Omarion Hampton, RB
Hopkins is a fast and explosive running back that would’ve fallen to the second round if it wasn’t for a good combine and pro day. With elite speed, he will easily take stress off of Bo Nix.
21. Steelers: Jaxson Dart, QB
After losing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, the Steelers are desperate for a quarterback. It’s between Dart and Milroe, but Dart has had tremendously better stats on a worse team. Dart stats have improved every year.
22. Chargers: Jahade Barron, CB
The Chargers secondary needs improvement, and with Derwin James still playing at a high level, getting Barron would. Barron is a nickel corner who plays really well in the flats; his biggest knock is his subpar tackling ability.
23. Packers: Malaki Starks, S
The Packers already have Xavier McKinney, but paired with Starks, they will make this team’s defense a lot more intimidating. Stark’s high football IQ should make him a star.
24. Vikings: Nick Emanawarri S
Nick Emanawarri would replace the aging Harrison Smith in a huge way. He is a very fast and physical player who constantly throws his body to make plays.
25. Texans: Josh Simmons, OT
Texans superstar quarterback CJ Stroud was sacked a total of 52 times last season (the second most in the NFL). Simmons is the best lineman available and should hopefully fill Laremy Tunsil’s position.
26. Rams: Emeka Egbuka, WR
With Cooper Kupp leaving this year and an aging Matt Stafford, Egbuka will help out a lot. He is a veteran wide receiver, playing for all four years in college. He is probably the most NFL receiver in this whole draft, so getting him at 26 would be a high win for the Ravens.
27. Ravens: Tyler Booker, IOL
Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and former 2,000-yard rusher Derrick Henry could use some more blocking. Booker, who stands at 6’4” and 325 pounds, is pretty hard to get past.
28. Lions: Kenneth Grant, DL
The Lions don’t need much help other than their D-line; without Aiden Hutchinson, they would constantly get pushed back. Grant is 340 pounds and will certainly help as a three-technique.
29. Commanders: James Pearce Jr., Edge
The Commanders were a game away from the Super Bowl and just needed some help on defense. Standout edge rusher James Pearce Jr. offers some amazing
potential for this young team.
30. Bills: Luther Burden, WR
With Josh Allen playing at an MVP level, getting Luther Burden would give Allen a new playmaking receiver to throw to. Burden is a big athletic receiver who was the best in this draft before a poor performance in 2024. If he emulates the success he had in 2023, the Bills are looking for their replacement for Stephon Diggs.
31. Chiefs: Gray Zabel, IOL
Patrick Mahomes was sacked a total of six times in the Super Bowl, and they just lost one of their best linemen, Joe Thuney. Zabel should offer some much-needed protection to Mahomes.
32. Eagles: Walter Nolan, DL
Eagles don’t need anything really; they could draft whoever they want here. So they’ll probably just take the best player available. Nolan is very athletic for a 300-pound D-lineman and will be a solid replacement for Josh Sweat.
