More importantly, the future of franchises hangs in the balance. Will your favorite NFL team take a franchise quarterback, a trench demon, or a playmaking phenom? With the latest draft order, team needs, prospect rankings, and the latest intel, this mock draft dares to predict the unpredictable. Let’s get right into our last 2025 NFL mock draft.
1. Tennessee Titans – QB Cameron Ward, Miami
HT: 6’1⅝” | WT: 219 | HAND: 8½” | ARM: 30½”
Analysis: The Titans hold the No. 1 pick, and all signs point to a quarterback. Tennessee’s brass was impressed with Ward’s pro day performance and four years of game film, suggesting they’re ready to commit. Ward’s arm talent and pocket presence make him QB1 in this class, and he is a plug-and-play starter who can turn around Tennessee’s fortunes. Keep an eye on where Will Levis could go with a potential trade.
2. Cleveland Browns – EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State
HT: 6’2⅛” | WT: 250 | HAND: 9½” | ARM: 33”
Analysis: Cleveland’s quarterback situation remains murky with Deshaun Watson’s injury and contract looming, but reports suggest they’re leaning toward a premium talent like Carter over a QB at No. 2 if Ward goes No.1. With great speed and explosive edge-rushing ability, Carter’s a game-changer for a defense needing a spark. His 33-inch arms add to his disruptive potential.
3. New York Giants – CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
HT: 6’0⅜” | WT: 188 | HAND: 9⅝” | ARM: 31⅜”
Analysis: The Giants need a quarterback, but they’re doing heavy diligence on non-QB prospects like Hunter and Carter, with coach Brian Daboll personally meeting Hunter. The Colorado star’s versatility as CB1 and WR1 is tantalizing, but his speed and ball skills fit perfectly as a lockdown corner—an immediate upgrade for a secondary desperate for playmakers.
4. New England Patriots – OT Armand Membou, Missouri
HT: 6’4¼” | WT: 332 | HAND: 9½” | ARM: 33½” | 40: 4.91
Analysis: New England’s offensive line needs a cornerstone, and Membou’s massive frame (6’4¼”, 332 lbs) and 33½-inch arms make him a dream pick. The Patriots’ focus should be on protecting their young QB, and Membou’s surprising agility (4.91 40) for his size seals the deal. He’s a Day 1 starter at tackle.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – DT Mason Graham, Michigan
HT: 6’3½” | WT: 296 | HAND: 11” | ARM: 32”
Analysis: The Jaguars need defensive line help, and Graham’s a disruptive force with 11-inch hands—perfect for shedding blockers. Jacksonville is eyeing a trench player, and Graham’s strength and quickness make him a steal at No. 5 to bolster their front.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
HT: 5’8½” | WT: 211 | HAND: 10½” | ARM: 29⅜”
Analysis: The Raiders need a dynamic playmaker, and Jeanty’s electric speed and solid size scream superstar potential. There’s a buzz about Vegas prioritizing a running back early, and Jeanty’s compact frame (5’8½”) and elusiveness make him a perfect fit to ignite their offense.
7. New York Jets – OT Will Campbell, LSU
HT: 6’5⅞” | WT: 319 | HAND: 9½” | ARM: 32⅝” | 40: 4.98
Analysis: Protecting Justin Fields is priority No. 1, and Campbell’s 6’5⅞”, 319-pound frame is ideal. ESPN suggests the Jets are locked in on offensive line help and Campbell’s solid technique, and, despite the 32⅝-inch arms, make him a reliable blindside protector.
8. Carolina Panthers – EDGE Jalon Walker, Georgia
HT: 6’1” | WT: 243 | HAND: 10⅜” | ARM: 32”
Analysis: Carolina’s pass rush needs a boost, and Walker’s versatility as an edge rusher fits the bill. There’s an indication they’re targeting a defensive playmaker, and his speed and versatility give him the tools to wreak havoc off the edge.
9. New Orleans Saints – CB Will Johnson, Michigan
HT: 6’1⅝” | WT: 194 | HAND: 9⅜” | ARM: 30⅛” | 40: 4.42

10. Chicago Bears – TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
HT: 6’5½” | WT: 256 | HAND: 10⅜” | ARM: 31⅝”

HT: 6’4⅛” | WT: 219 | HAND: 9½” | ARM: 31½” | 40: 4.55
Analysis: The 49ers love big, physical receivers, and McMillan’s 6’4⅛” frame and 31½-inch arms fit perfectly. Reports suggest they’re looking to add an offensive weapon, and despite his 4.55 speed, he’s a threat in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

HT: 6’5⅛” | WT: 315 | HAND: 10⅜” | ARM: 33½” | 40: 5.16
