2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Full Two-Round Update

The NFL free agency period has reshaped rosters, recalibrated expectations, and clarified team needs ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. For some franchises, splashy signings filled immediate holes, allowing them to target depth or luxury picks. For others, free agency highlighted gaps that must be addressed through the draft. Teams like the Titans, Browns, Giants, and Panthers have emerged as potential tone-setters at the top of the board, with quarterback being the focal point early in Round 1.

This two-round mock draft, based on the latest from Pro Football & Sports Network, reflects team tendencies, offseason needs, and emerging prospects ready to shape the next generation of NFL stars.

Round 1 Mock Draft Picks & Analysis

1. Tennessee Titans – Cameron Ward, QB, Miami (FL)

Yes, the Tennessee Titans have needs across the board. However, would it make sense to address the most important need when the team is in the best position to do so? While next year’s class may have more and better options at quarterback, that may not be the case seven months from now. Based on how their seasons unfold, the 2026 class can go from eight can’t-miss prospects to at least four.

Plus, there’s no guarantee that the Titans will be in the current situation after next season. While there is a slight chance the Titans could trade spots with another team, I believe Miami’s Cam Ward is the chosen selection. Ward provides a high-upside arm with the mobility and playmaking ability to spark a new era in Nashville. His dual-threat game and live arm fit well in a modern offense that’s been stale for too long.

2. Cleveland Browns – Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

Here’s my bold prediction of what could happen for the Cleveland Browns. With the second pick, the Browns select the best non-QB prospect in the 2025 class when they pick Penn State’s Abdul Carter. They will take a quarterback in the next two rounds, but I believe the play here is to acquire Falcons backup QB Kirk Cousins. Cousins recently mentioned that he would waive his no-trade clause after the conclusion of this year’s draft. He wants to avoid another scenario where commitment is made, but the team’s actions during the draft paint a different message.

While it’s wise for the Browns to think about the future by taking a passer in rounds two or three, Cousins should feel comfortable being the clear-cut starter in 2025 and possibly 2026. Regarding Carter, he is an explosive pass rusher who can anchor Cleveland’s next defensive rebuild. With uncertainty around the offense, bolstering the defensive identity gives the Browns a foundation to compete again.

3. New York Giants – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

It was smart for the Giants to sign free agents Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson as bridge QBs, but the next move should be to pair them with a young prospect who can take over. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is the pick at 3. Sanders brings leadership, pocket poise, and NFL lineage. If the Giants want to spark a turnaround, this is the franchise quarterback to build around.

4. New England Patriots – Will Campbell, OT, LSU

With QB Drake Maye already on board, protecting him becomes priority No. 1. Campbell is a plug-and-play left tackle with dominant SEC experience.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado

A true two-way phenom, Hunter gives the Jaguars a versatile weapon on defense and possibly offense. Jacksonville needs more star power, and Hunter is box office.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

The Raiders bolster their offense with one of the most dynamic runners in college football. Jeanty’s vision, burst, and receiving ability make him a perfect modern NFL back.

7. New York Jets – Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

The Jets have to protect Justin Fields better than they did Aaron Rodgers. Membou has the agility and power to anchor the left or right side of the line.

8. Carolina Panthers – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

While Bryce Young is the long-term project, Carolina uses this pick to fix the league’s worst defense. Johnson is a true CB1 with size and man-to-man polish.

9. New Orleans Saints – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

The Saints recently added veteran Brandin Cooks to a receiving room decimated by injuries last season. The group has the speed to stress an opposing defense but lacks the x-factor that can take the offense to another level. At 9, the Saints select the top wide receiver prospect in the draft, Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan. The former Wildcat is a big-play weapon for Derek Carr or whoever ends up under center. McMillan is a long, fluid receiver with a huge catch radius and sneaky speed.

10. Chicago Bears – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

With Dennis Allen on board as the new defensive coordinator, the Bears can add another playmaker to their defensive line or secondary, but I think addressing the trenches on offense will be the move here. The Bears continue to build around Caleb Williams, grabbing a top-tier blindside protector. Kelvin Banks has the tools to be elite in pass protection.

11. San Francisco 49ers – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

The 49ers get younger in the secondary with Barron, a twitchy, aggressive corner who thrives in zone-heavy schemes.

12. Dallas Cowboys – Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

With DeMarcus Lawrence gone, the Cowboys replenish the pass rush. Williams offers a mix of length, burst, and SEC-tested production.

13. Miami Dolphins – Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Miami adds power to the interior offensive line. Booker is a road grader who can move defenders off the ball and improve protection for Tua.

14. Indianapolis Colts – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

A versatile chess piece at tight end, Warren gives the Colts’ offense a big, athletic target down the seam.

15. Atlanta Falcons – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Atlanta bolsters the trenches with Graham, a relentless interior disruptor who fills a major need on a regressing defense.

16. Arizona Cardinals – James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

The Cardinals continue to revamp their defense with Pearce, a bendy, explosive pass rusher who can wreak havoc off the edge.

17. Cincinnati Bengals – Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

Cincy adds some firepower to a bottom-tier defense. Stewart brings burst and power and should pair well with Trey Hendrickson.

18. Seattle Seahawks – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Sam Darnold needs time to throw, and Simmons can solidify the right side of Seattle’s line with his athleticism and strength.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

The Bucs address a need at safety with the selection of Malaki Starks, a rangy ballhawk who can patrol the back end and elevate the defense.

20. Denver Broncos – Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Sean Payton adds more firepower to help Bo Nix, grabbing the explosive and physical Hampton to pair with Engram.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Pittsburgh reinforces the trenches with Harmon, a stout run defender with some pass-rush upside.

22. Los Angeles Chargers – Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Jim Harbaugh turns to one of his former stars to fix a leaky interior. Grant is a powerful, space-eating presence.

23. Green Bay Packers – Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

Walker is a fast, instinctive linebacker who fits the Packers’ need for sideline-to-sideline speed and coverage ability.

24. Minnesota Vikings – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

The Vikings land a versatile, hard-hitting safety who can operate in the box or deep — ideal for Brian Flores’ scheme.

25. Houston Texans – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Protecting C.J. Stroud is still a priority. Ersery offers tackle/guard flexibility and adds needed depth to the O-line.

26. Los Angeles Rams – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Stafford gets another weapon in Loveland, who can stretch the seam and create mismatches in the red zone.

27. Baltimore Ravens – Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State

Baltimore reinforces the trenches with a physical, athletic guard to keep Lamar Jackson upright and Derrick Henry moving.

28. Detroit Lions – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

The Lions invest in edge depth behind Aidan Hutchinson. Green is a high-motor pass rusher with raw upside and power.

29. Washington Commanders – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Adding Egbuka to a receiver room with Deebo and Terry McLaurin gives Jayden Daniels a lethal trio. Excellent value here.

30. Buffalo Bills – Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

Buffalo adds more defensive help, grabbing Williams to help beef up the interior and take pressure off Nick Bosa.

31. Kansas City Chiefs – Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

The Chiefs continue to retool their O-line, with Williams offering long-term value at tackle alongside Patrick Mahomes.

32. Philadelphia Eagles – Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

After several defensive departures, Philly replenishes its pass rush with Scourton, a twitchy, relentless edge rusher.

Round 2 Overview: Intriguing Fits to Watch

While round 1 featured franchise cornerstones, round 2 is where value meets fit — and several teams may have struck gold.

• Jaxson Dart to the Browns (Pick 33) is a fascinating swing. After taking Abdul Carter at No. 2, Cleveland adds a high-upside quarterback with starting potential. If Dart develops behind a bridge starter, this could be a steal.
• Matthew Golden to the Titans (Pick 35) gives Cameron Ward a dynamic receiver with whom to grow. Tennessee’s offense desperately needed explosiveness, and Golden brings it in bunches.
• Luther Burden III to the Patriots (Pick 38) is another strong pairing. With Will Campbell anchoring the line in Round 1, New England adds a physical, yards-after-catch threat for Drake Maye.
• J.T. Tuimoloau to the Saints (Pick 40) feels foundational. After going offense in Round 1, New Orleans snags a well-rounded edge rusher with untapped potential to pair with Chase Young.
• Jalen Milroe to the Jets (Pick 42) turns heads. After acquiring Justin Fields, Milroe could be groomed as a long-term replacement or a high-end backup. It’s a move with a future-focused upside.
• Isaiah Bond to the Texans (Pick 58) reunites C.J. Stroud with a high-speed weapon and bolsters a receiver corps that needs reliability after injuries derailed in 2024.
• Walter Nolen to the Eagles (Pick 64) may be one of the steals of the round. A former top recruit with immense upside, Nolen could thrive in Philly’s rotation and help patch the defensive losses from free agency.
