2025 NFL Mock Draft: Latest First-Round Predictions Entering Week 10
The 2025 NFL Draft has become the main focus for a good chunk of NFL teams. Whether injuries have decimated rosters, coaches have failed to press the right buttons, or teams have simply disappointed, the top teams have separated themselves from the pretenders.
Our updated 2025 NFL mock draft has updated evaluations from the college football world. We're rewarding those who have played the best and considered how team needs are shaping up. This is not a deep class, so general managers must consider the best strategy to improve their team in early rounds.
As we expect some players to rise and others to fall as the season progresses, now is the perfect moment to assess the current state of this draft class.
2025 NFL Mock Draft Entering Week 10
For this 2025 mock draft, we're using the most up-to-date order based on records after Monday Night Football.
1. New England Patriots 
Selection: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Already, with Drake Maye representing the Patriots’ future on offense, New England is in a good position to nab a big trade package here.
There’s no tackle or receiver who is better than James Pearce Jr. The bendy, speedy pass-rusher can be the foundation of New England’s defense for the foreseeable future.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
Selection: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
A star at receiver and cornerback, Travis Hunter is the best overall player in the class. Jacksonville lacks star power, and it’s hard to envision Hunter being anything less than a Pro Bowler at whichever position he plays.
The Jaguars need help at receiver and corner, so this is a pairing that checks all the boxes.

3. New Orleans Saints
Selection: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Smart, hard-working, accurate, and creative, Shedeur Sanders has the tools and acumen to be a top-10 NFL quarterback.
Will his dad allow Shedeur to land in New Orleans? It's a question worth asking, but Sanders is the best passer in the class. The Saints desperately need more playmaking and talent at the position.
Saints Are In For a Long-Term Rebuild
4. Carolina Panthers
Selection: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
Carolina is still in the mix for one of my top two quarterbacks. With a smooth throwing motion that can deliver an accurate ball to all three field levels, Ward has the physical traits of being a franchise star.
His mental processing and dedication are worthy of taking this high, and the Panthers have to see more from Bryce Young to not take Ward.
Abdul Carter is just too good 🔥

5. Cleveland Browns
Selection: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Cleveland gets sniped for the only two quarterbacks in the class with a first-round grade, so forcing one here doesn’t make sense.
Instead, going with the best player available makes more sense. An elite athlete at 6-foot-3, 259 pounds, Carter is comfortably the second-best edge rusher in the class as of today.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Selection: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Las Vegas has a ton of needs, including at tackle and receiver, but the defensive backfield has the chance to add a building block.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Will Johnson gives the Raiders their own version of Sauce Gardner. Johnson has been the nation's premier ballhawk, providing elite man coverage skills in the last few years.
Johnson's Full Scouting Report
7. New York Giants
Selection: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
Kelvin Banks is the best pure pass blocker in the class. The Evan Neal experiment has gone horribly wrong, and reaching on a project quarterback doesn’t make sense.
Banks offers greater strength and superior mobility for his large build. He's expected to reach at least Pro Bowl status in his career.
8. Miami Dolphins
Selection: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Miami just added Chop Robinson last year, but adding another Big Ten defender sure won’t hurt his efforts.
Mason Graham is a game-wrecking tackle who compares favorably to former Dolphin Christian Wilkins. Miami’s trenches have to keep getting better, and this pick checks the box.

9. Tennessee Titans
Selection: LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama
Missing out on Sanders and Ward is painful, so Tennessee’s best bet is to continue rebuilding everything else around the position.
Able to play on the interior as a tackle or slide out to the edge, LT Overton has a Calais Campbell-esque level of versatility and speed for his size. The 6-foot-4, 280-pounder has been a big riser this year, as he's morphed into Alabama's best defender.
10. New York Jets
Selection: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
In talking to scouts about this class, it’s become clear I was too low on Cameron Williams compared to where teams see him.
A tremendous athlete with great strength, Williams checks more of the physical boxes than the secondary tackles. The Jets wisely added their left tackle in the 2024 draft and now get their right tackle of the future.
11) Dallas Cowboys
Selection: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
It’s hard to imagine Dallas doesn’t take a receiver, given its offensive depth chart.
Luther Burden III can be another focal point next to CeeDee Lamb. Burden offers rare creation after the catch and is versatile as a deep threat.
12. Indianapolis Colts
Selection: Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia
The Colts have gotten the most they can out of an unheralded cornerback room.
Going with a cornerback makes sense, but there’s a talent gap between them and Malaki Starks, which makes him unavoidable here. Starks’ range, tackling, and instincts are rare.
13. Cincinnati Bengals
Selection: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
I’ve shied away from projecting receivers to Cincinnati because it felt lazy, but Tetairoa McMillan would be an upgrade on Tee Higgins.
The massive 6-foot-5, 210-pounder has better agility and fluidity through his routes, plus he has similar dominance at the catch point. Joe Burrow would be happy with this.

14. Seattle Seahawks
Selection: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
An explosive playmaker who has transformed the Penn State offense, Tyler Warren is the type of weapon that Ryan Grubb will love.
The Seahawks have great athletes all over, but adding another versatile piece to the offense will only help. This is more of a luxury pick than a tackle, but maybe Abraham Lucas’ long-term outlook is better than it seems.
15. Los Angeles Rams
Selection: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
The day is coming when Cooper Kupp is either phased out of the Rams’ plans, or he’s just hurt.
There’s so much to love about Emeka Egbuka’s game, and his versatility is what seals the deal for Los Angeles. Strong, fast, smart, and consistent, Egbuka complements Puka Nacua as a three-layer threat.
Emeka Egbuka's Full Scouting Report
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Selection: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Teams love moldable talent, and Nic Scourton has tons of it. The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder can line up at multiple spots and have an athletic advantage.
The Buccaneers already have terrific defensive tackles to rely on, so giving Scourton a defined role on the edge can help him flourish without having to learn too much.
17. San Francisco 49ers
Selection: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
This has been a tough season for a once-elite 49ers defense. There’s a lack of upper-end talent to overcome the slow bleed of talent to free agency.
While Shavon Revel Jr. is recovering from a torn ACL, he's the class's most athletic cornerback. Add in also possesses the necessary ball skills to be an impact presence, and Revel can transform the defensive back room in San Francisco.
Shavon Revel's Full Scouting Report
18. Chicago Bears
Selection: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Chicago moving into this part of the first round makes the conversation about whether to take a pass-rusher or offensive lineman more interesting.
For now, the Bears go with Will Campbell, who can play tackle or guard at a high level. Chicago can’t fail Caleb Williams like it did so many passers before him, so that’s the tiebreaker.
Michigan breaking out the tricks! Big gain for Colston Loveland and the Wolverines. pic.twitter.com/vFUHG0ztXt
— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) November 2, 2024
19. Denver Broncos
Selection: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Colston Loveland is a plug-and-play option in an offense lacking threats. Sean Payton has a history of utilizing the tight end position far more than he has with Denver because he doesn’t have a star.
Loveland’s blocking and post-catch creation will make him a top playmaker at the position early on.
20. Arizona Cardinals
Selection: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
It’s time to give Jonathan Gannon a high-upside pass-rusher. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Mykel Williams has top-tier strength, speed, and flexibility through contact.
He’s not as refined as teams would like to justify taking him higher, but allowing him to fall any further isn’t realistic.
21. Los Angeles Chargers
Selection: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Giving Justin Herbert a speedster with 4.2 wheels is important, but that is only part of what Isaiah Bond brings to the offense. Bond puts immense pressure on defenses with his speed, of course, but Jim Harbaugh will appreciate his route-running.
The Chargers can do more with Bond than spread-based teams because they’ll utilize his skill more than just his speed.
22. Atlanta Falcons
Selection: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
You can bank on there being skeptics on whether Donovan Ezeiruaku’s 6-foot-2 frame is translatable to the NFL.
It’s fair to wonder, but Ezeiruaku’s effectiveness at Boston College has been the product of refined skill and high-end traits. Much like Laiatu Latu from this past class, Ezeiruaku projects as a Day 1 contributor.

23. Green Bay Packers
Selection: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The quickest defensive tackle in the class finds his way to Green Bay at a good time. The Packers need to revamp their defense, so there are several options.
But passing on Walter Nolen wouldn’t make sense, as the Packers need impactful players as the unit ages in 2025. He’ll need time to improve his pad-level consistency, but the traits are worth banking on.
24. Baltimore Ravens
Selection: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Even after adding Nate Wiggins this past class, the biggest concern in Baltimore is whether it has the secondary talent to survive in big games.
Benjamin Morrison has excellent physicality and ball skills. He led the nation in interceptions in 2022 and then with 10 passes defended in 2023. He's recovering from a torn ACL, so Baltimore gets some value.
Benjamin Morrison's Full Scouting Report
25. Houston Texans
Selection: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Derrick Harmon is one of the biggest risers this season.
After transferring from Michigan State to Oregon, the massive defensive tackle has been an elite pass-rusher, and his clutch strip of Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins swung that matchup. Houston has rebuilt its roster well, but Harmon would immediately stand out as a star on the interior.

26. Philadelphia Eagles
Selection: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Instead of going back to Georgia for help, the Eagles turn to an SEC rival. Landon Jackson has been one of the nation's most productive defenders, so he’s not nearly as much of a project as Nolan Smith was.
With his 6-foot-7, 280-pound frame, he’s an ideal strong-side pass-rusher who can hit the field immediately for a playoff-hopeful roster.
27. Pittsburgh Steelers
Selection: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona
Trotting out two gigantic cornerbacks who can disrupt receivers with length and physicality would not only give Pittsburgh a unique secondary identity but one that fits its play style.
Tacario Davis has been one of the most proficient corners in 2024, allowing 24 receptions on 44 targets. The 6-foot-4 defender is perfect for Pittsburgh’s zone scheme and off-ball alignments.
28. Minnesota Vikings
Selection: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Finding a place where Ashton Jeanty would be an upgrade isn’t difficult, but projecting the right value for a running back is tougher.
The best offensive playmaker in college football will help usher in a terrific class of ball carriers. Jeanty can be Minnesota’s next All-Pro running back and will remind fans of Adrian Peterson.
Ashton Jeanty's Full Scouting Report
29. Washington Commanders
Selection: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
2024 third-rounder Brandon Coleman might be the future for Washington at one tackle spot, but another tackle is still needed.
Josh Simmons was excellent for the Buckeyes before tearing his ACL against Oregon. His athleticism and power are obvious, and he can start in Year 1 once he's healthy.
#Georgia EDGE/OLB Jalon Walker vs. Texas

• 3 Sacks

30. Buffalo Bills
Selection: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
Capable of playing middle linebacker and on the edge, Jalon Walker’s three-down impact is what separates him from most off-ball players.
Thickly built with great power and surprising speed at 245 pounds, Walker brings a more dynamic skill set than what Buffalo has added in recent draft classes. The best thing is that he can complement Dorian Williams and not outright replace him.
31. Detroit Lions
Selection: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
There’s not a lot of edge talent left on the board, but Princely Umanmielen is the best and final potential first-rounder in the mix.
The Lions desperately need to identify a complementary piece to Aidan Hutchinson, and his injury has further exacerbated that. Umanmielen is a speedster with good bend and effort, which is the right skill set for a No. 2 pass-rusher.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
Selection: Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M
Selecting a pure defensive tackle makes sense for Kansas City, as Chris Jones could use an heir, but the roster would benefit more from versatility at multiple positions.
Shemar Stewart has also outplayed the remaining defensive tackles on the board, and his pass-rushing from multiple spots makes him highly valuable. The 6-foot-6, 290-pounder is a force who can win with speed and power.
