2025 NFL Mock Draft: Pick Analysis

1. Tennessee Titans, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Best Bet: Top 5 Exact Order: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty (-185).

Who Calls the Shots in the Titans Draft Room?

Mike Borgonzi (first year) joins the Titans after 15 years in the Chiefs organization and will have final say over the roster. Borgonzi spent the past three seasons as Kansas City’s assistant GM, but he does not have a background in college scouting, so director of college scouting Jon Salge will likely play a critical role in the selection process. 

2. Cleveland Browns, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Best Bet: Top 5 Exact Order: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty (-185).

Who Calls the Shots in the Browns Draft Room?

GM Andrew Berry (sixth year) has final say with input from chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta (10th year) and head coach Kevin Stefanski (sixth year).

3. New York Giants, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

Best Bet: Top 5 Exact Order: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty (-185).

Carter to be the third overall pick is -265.

Who Calls the Shots in the Giants Draft Room?

GM Joe Schoen (fourth year) has final say over roster decisions. He spent the previous five seasons as the assistant general manager to Brandon Beane in Buffalo. Schoen’s background is in college scouting with the Panthers and Dolphins. 

4. New England Patriots, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Best Bet: Top 5 Exact Order: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty (-185).

Who Calls the Shots in the Patriots Draft Room?

Head coach Mike Vrabel (first year) has final say over personnel decisions. The team never hired a GM after Bill Belichick left, leaving Eliot Wolf in charge. Wolf remains the vice president of player personnel. Director of college scouting Camren Williams likely has a strong voice in the draft and should work well with Vrabel 一 Williams played linebacker at Ohio State while Vrabel was on the Buckeyes’ defensive staff. 

5. Jacksonville Jaguars, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

Best Bet: Top 5 Exact Order: Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty (-185).

Who Calls the Shots in the Jaguars Draft Room?

It’s unclear. GM James Gladstone, head coach Liam Coen, and VP of football operations Tony Boselli 一 all hired this offseason to roles they have never previously held elsewhere 一 will report directly to owner Shad Khan. This inevitably sets up a power struggle that will play out over the next few seasons. In the short term, they say it will be a collaborative effort.

6. Las Vegas Raiders, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Kelvin Banks Jr, OL, Texas

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Best Bet: Kelvin Banks Jr. to be the No. 6 pick (+175).

Who Calls the Shots in the Raiders Draft Room?

It’s unclear who has final say in Las Vegas. Pete Carroll had final say over the roster in Seattle, and John Spytek is a first-year GM 一 that might tip the scales in Carroll’s favor. However, Tom Brady played a key role in hiring Spytek, who worked in the Buccaneers’ front office while Brady was there. Since Brady was reportedly running the search for GM and head coach, it’s possible he gave power to Spytek, with whom he has a closer relationship and can more easily control, if he wants input. 

7. New York Jets, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Best Bet: Armand Membou to be the No. 7 pick (+270).

Who Calls the Shots in the Jets Draft Room?

Darren Mougey (first year) has final say over the roster. Aaron Glenn will have a say, but Mougey came up in the college scouting department with the Broncos, so he will likely control most draft-day decisions. 

8. Carolina Panthers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Best Bet: Jalon Walker to be the No. 8 pick (+125).

Who Calls the Shots in the Panthers Draft Room?

GM Dan Morgan (second year) was promoted from assistant GM to replace Scott Fitterer last season. Morgan has final say but likely leans heavily on others in the draft. Director of player personnel Cole Spencer and director of college scouting Jared Kirksey likely play key roles due to their experience on the college scouting side of things. 

9. New Orleans Saints, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Best Bet: Mykel Williams to be the No. 9 pick (+250).

Who Calls the Shots in the Saints Draft Room?

GM Mickey Loomis likely has final say, though the power dynamic has been unclear since the departure of Sean Payton (who previously had final say). Since Loomis does not have a background in scouting, assistant GM and director of college personnel Jeff Ireland likely has substantial input in the draft.

10. Chicago Bears, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Best Bet: Tight End to be the first position selected by Chicago (+250).

Who Calls the Shots in the Bears Draft Room?

GM Ryan Poles (fourth year) has final say over roster construction. Poles was previously with the Chiefs since 2009, working under GM Brett Veach as director of player personnel.

11. San Francisco 49ers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Kelvin Banks Jr, OL, Texas

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by San Francisco (-150).

Who Calls the Shots in the 49ers Draft Room?

GM John Lynch (ninth year) has final say over personnel decisions but works closely with Kyle Shanahan.

12. Dallas Cowboys, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Best Bet: Wide Receiver to be the first position selected by Dallas (-250).

Who Calls the Shots in the Cowboys Draft Room?

Director of player personnel Stephen Jones effectively acts as the general manager with significant input from VP of player personnel Will McClay. Obviously, owner Jerry Jones has been known to step in and make decisions as well.

13. Miami Dolphins, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Miami (+350).

Who Calls the Shots in the Dolphins Draft Room?

GM Chris Grier (10th year) has final say over personnel decisions but accepts significant input from Mike McDaniel.

14. Indianapolis Colts, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Best Bet: Tight End to be the first position selected by Indianapolis (+100).

Who Calls the Shots in the Colts Draft Room?

GM Chris Ballard (ninth year) has final say over roster construction.

15. Atlanta Falcons, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Atlanta (-360).

Who Calls the Shots in the Falcons Draft Room?

GM Terry Fontenot (fifth year) has final say over the roster. Beginning in 2024, he likely gained more power as CEO Rich McKay (Atlanta’s former GM) took a step back from participating in the team’s day-to-day operations. Fontenot began reporting directly to owner Arthur Blank. 

16. Arizona Cardinals, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Best Bet: Wide Receiver to be the first position selected by Arizona (+300).

Who Calls the Shots in the Cardinals Draft Room?

GM Monti Ossenfort (third year) likely has final say over the Cardinals roster, though the team has not officially confirmed this. Ossenfort is a former director of college scouting (Patriots) and director of player personnel (Titans), and his assistant GM is former Lions director of college scouting Dave Sears.

17. Cincinnati Bengals, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Cincinnati (-210).

Who Calls the Shots in the Bengals Draft Room?

Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin has final say over roster construction.

18. Seattle Seahawks, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Best Bet: Offensive Line to be the first position selected by Seattle (-125).

Who Calls the Shots in the Seahawks Draft Room?

GM John Schneider is entering his 16th year in this role, but it will be his second with final say over the roster — Pete Carroll previously held that power. Schneider does not have a background in college scouting, so senior director of player personnel Matt Berry and director of college scouting Aaron Hineline likely have strong voices in the draft room due to their experience on the college scouting side of things. 

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Best Bet: Linebacker to be the first position selected by Tampa Bay (+190).

Who Calls the Shots in the Buccaneers Draft Room?

GM Jason Licht (12th year) has final say over the roster. 

20. Denver Broncos, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Best Bet: Running Back to be the first position selected by Denver (-150).

Who Calls the Shots in the Broncos Draft Room?

GM George Paton (fifth year) has final say over personnel decisions. Before joining Denver, he spent the majority of his career as Rick Spielman’s right-hand man in Minnesota and Miami. It is assumed that Sean Payton has significant power as well, though the Broncos have stated Paton remains in control of the roster. 

21. Pittsburgh Steelers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Best Bet: Quarterback to be the first position selected by Pittsburgh (-135).

Who Calls the Shots in the Steelers Draft Room?

GM Omar Khan (third year) took over last year from Kevin Colbert, who ran the team for 23 years. Khan likely has final say over the roster, though it is a collaborative effort with assistant GM Andy Weidl (third year) and Mike Tomlin. Khan has been with Pittsburgh since 2001, but his background is in the administrative side of the team. Weidl joined the team from the Eagles, where he was vice president of player personnel and has extensive experience in scouting. 

22. Los Angeles Chargers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Chargers (+125).

Who Calls the Shots in the Chargers Draft Room?

It’s unclear who has the final say over the roster, though it is assumed that power belongs to Jim Harbaugh (second year). However, the draft is likely run primarily by GM Joe Hortiz (second year), who was the Ravens' longtime director of college scouting.

23. Green Bay Packers, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Best Bet: Wide Receiver to be the first position selected by Green Bay (+300).

Who Calls the Shots in the Packers Draft Room?

GM Brian Gutekunst (eighth year) has final say over the roster, but Gutekunst, director of football operations Russ Ball, and head coach Matt LaFleur all report directly to president/CEO Mark Murphy. This structure theoretically gives more personnel influence to Ball and LaFleur than if they reported directly to the GM, as most front offices are organized.

TRADE: 24. New York Giants, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina (Vikings)

Projected Trade: New York receives pick 24. Minnesota receives picks 34, 99, and a 2026 third-round pick.

Best Bet: Jaxson Dart Draft Position Under 24.5 (+100).

25. Houston Texans, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Best Bet: Total Offensive Lineman to be Drafted in Round One Over 6.5 (-200).

Who Calls the Shots in the Texans Draft Room?

GM Nick Caserio has final say over the roster. This is Caserio’s fifth year with Houston but just his third year since the firing of Executive VP Jack Easterby, who played a confusing role in the organization and held significant power as well. So it’s fair to say this is only Caserio’s third year with full control. 

26. Los Angeles Rams, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Best Bet: Cornerback to be the first position selected by Los Angeles (+250).

Who Calls the Shots in the Rams Draft Room?

GM Les Snead (14th year) has final say over personnel decisions.

27. Baltimore Ravens, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

Best Bet: Safety to be the first position selected by Baltimore (+400).

Who Calls the Shots in the Ravens Draft Room?

GM Eric DeCosta (seventh year as GM, 27th year in the organization) controls roster construction and has maintained a similar approach to his former boss, Ozzie Newsome.

28. Detroit Lions, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Detroit (-200).

Who Calls the Shots in the Lions Draft Room?

GM Brad Holmes (fifth year) has final say over personnel decisions. Holmes was a longtime director of college scouting with the Rams before joining Detroit, and managing the draft is his strength. 

29. Washington Commanders, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee

Best Bet: Defensive Line/EDGE to be the first position selected by Washington (+145).

Who Calls the Shots in the Commanders Draft Room?

GM Adam Peters (second year) has final say over the personnel decisions. He previously spent seven years with the 49ers, most recently as John Lynch’s assistant GM. He also previously served as the Broncos’ director of college scouting under John Elway. Head coach Dan Quinn likely has significant input in selecting defensive players, as he’s always had strong preferences on who fits his scheme. 

30. Buffalo Bills, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Best Bet: Safety to be the first position selected by Buffalo (+550).

Who Calls the Shots in the Bills Draft Room?

GM Brandon Beane (eighth year) officially has final say over the roster, but head coach Sean McDermott’s opinion is believed to carry equal weight. McDermott and Beane were hired together in 2017 and also worked together for six seasons in Carolina.

31. Kansas City Chiefs, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Best Bet: Offensive Line to be the first position selected by Kansas City (-170).

Who Calls the Shots in the Chiefs Draft Room?

GM Brett Veach (eighth year) officially has final say over the roster, but Andy Reid’s opinion carries significant weight. The two have worked together since Reid hired Veach as a coaching intern in 2004, and Veach followed Reid to Kansas City in 2013. 

32. Philadelphia Eagles, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon

Previous selection in Mock Draft 5.0: Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss

Best Bet: Offensive Line to be the first position selected by Philadelphia (+350).

Who Calls the Shots in the Eagles Draft Room?

GM Howie Roseman (16th year) has final say over the roster. Roseman has held the title of general manager and/or executive vice president of football operations since 2010, but he did not control the roster during Andy Reid and Chip Kelly’s tenures. Roseman gained full control of personnel decisions in 2016.
