Round 1:
1) Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders QB, Colorado 6’2′ 215 lbs
The Raiders need a new field general under center & Sanders is the top prospect. In 2024 he has 3926 passing yards, 35 touchdowns & 8 interceptions for a 74.2% completion rate.
2) New York Giants – Cameron Ward QB, Miami 6’2″ 223 lbs
The G-men are in the same boat as the Raiders so grab their QB of the future. In 2024 he has put together 4123 passing yards, 36 touchdowns & 7 interceptions for a 67.4% rate.
3) New England Patriots – Travis Hunter CB/WR, Colorado 6’1″ 185 lbs
Hunter is my top rated overall prospect for the 2025 NFL draft. On defense he has 31 tackles, 11 passes defended, 4 interceptions & 1 forced fumble. On offense he has 92 receptions, 1152 yards & 14 touchdowns. He may be the best 2 way player to ever come out. The Pats could use him all over the field.
4) Carolina Panthers – Will Johnson CB, Michigan 6’2″ 202 lbs
Johnson can play cover man or zone & be just as effective. Has the speed to not allow separation & sticks to WR’s like glue. 3 year starter for the Wolverines. In 2024 he had 14 tackles, 3 passes defended & 2 interceptions (both for pic 6). Dynamic player who’s best football should be ahead of him.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars – Will Campbell OT, LSU 6’6″ 320 lbs
This is the Jags biggest need. They have to get QB Lawrence better pass pro no matter what. Campbell has been contributing to LSU’s offense for 3 years. Is XLNT in pass protection & is a mauler in the ground game.
6) Tennessee Titans – Tetairoa McMillan WR, Arizona 6’5″ 210 lbs
Titans need QB, WR, WRS & LB so since they are out of the early QB prospects they go with a big WR. He has good moves, is an XLNT red zone weapon with his long arms & fingers. In 2024 he has 84 receptions, 1319 yards & 8 touchdowns for a 15.7 avg.
7) New York Jets – Quinn Ewers QB, Texas 6’2″ 204 lbs
The Jets decide to select their next face of the franchise QB. Aaron Rodgers is running out of gas & they need to reload the position. Ewers is the leader of the Longhorns on the field & in the locker room. Smart QB who makes good decisions with the football. He was injured & missed several games earlier. For 2024 he has 2665 yards passing, 25 touchdowns & 9 interceptions.
8) Cleveland Browns – Abdul Carter EDGER/OLB, Penn St. 6’3″ 252 lbs
Carter is the top rated ER on my board. He’s having a stellar season with 60 tackles, 10 sacks, 3 passes defended & 2 forced fumbles. The Nittany Lions have used him similar to Micah Parsons where they line him up & down the defensive line so he can shoot gaps & penetrate into the backfield where he can cause havoc, get sacks & tackles for loss.
9) Chicago Bears – Kelvin Banks OT/G, Texas 6’4″ 324 lbs
Da Bears decide to grab some more pass pro for QB Caleb Williams. 3 year starter for the Longhorns. Is solid in pass protection & can open up big running lanes for the rush game. If his arms come in a little short at the combine he’ll have to move inside which is a big need for the Bears.
10) New Orleans Saints – Shavon Revel CB, East Carolina 6’3″ 193 lbs
Here’s a player who is moving up draft boards. He has good length & long arms to swat passes down. Coaches & scouts are talking this player up. Has the speed & moxie to play cover man or zone. Solid tackler in the open field. Lots of upside here.
11) Cincinnati Bengals – Mason Graham DL3T, Michigan 6’3″ 318 lbs
The Bengals need some help in their rush defense & Graham is by far the best interior defensive lineman available for this draft. So far he has 45 tackles, 3.5 sacks & 1 forced fumble. This could be a BPA pick for the Bengals.
12) Dallas Cowboys – Ashton Jeanty RB, Boise St. 5’9″ 215 lbs
The Cowboys have a huge hole at the RB position. This would be a great pick for the franchise. In 2024 he had 2497 rushing yards & 29 touchdowns for a 7.3 avg. Hits the hole fast & hard & is in the secondary before the defense knows what’s happening. The Cowboys have shown a preference for Boise St. players in the past.
13) Miami Dolphins – Kenneth Grant NT, Michigan 6’3″ 339 lbs
Grant has been a monster in the middle of the Wolverines defense the last couple of years. Awesome against the run game & can put occasional pressure on opposing QB’s. This is a must need for the Dolphins. In 2024 he put together 32 tackles, 3 sacks & 5 passes defended.
14) Indianapolis Colts – Malaki Starks FS, Georgia 6’1″ 205 lbs
Starks is the best Safety available for this draft hands down. 3 year starter for the Dawgs & an all SEC performer. He’s been all over the field on defense with 73 tackles, 3 passes defended & 1 interception. The Colts could use him roaming the back end.
15) Atlanta Falcons – James Pearce Jr. EDGE, Tennessee 6’5″ 243 lbs
Pearce had a slow start to 2024 but really picked it up in the 2nd half of the season. He needs to get into an NFL strength & conditioning program & put on at least 15 lbs of muscle to be effective at the next level. In 2024 he had 35 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 1 pass defended & 1 forced fumble.
16) Arizona Cardinals – Nic Scourton EDGE/DL5T, Texas A&M 6’4″ 280 lbs
The Cards could use some help on their defensive line & Scourton could come in & contribute early. Powerful legs to push OT’s backward in pursuit of QB. In 2024 he put together 37 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 passes defended & 1 forced fumble.
17) San Francisco 49ers – Mykel Williams EDGE, Georgia 6’5″ 265 lbs
The Niners could put him opposite of Nick Bosa & have a dynamic rush duo for several years. Willaims has missed a few games from nagging injuries or his stats would be much larger. Tons of upside & potential here & HC Shanahan will develop this stud into a star in the NFL. For 2024 he had 20 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 passes defended & 2 forced fumbles.
18) Los Angeles Rams – Aireontae Ersery OT, Minnesota 6’6″ 330 lbs
The Rams have had injuries up & down their offensive line all year. This is the player they could develop into a long time starter at LOT in the NFL. Is a wall in pass pro & can open up massive running lanes for the rush game. Needs to be coached up a little but the talent is undeniable.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Luther Burden III WR, Missouri 5’11” 208 lbs
The Bucs could use 2 WR’s from this draft early. Burden has had an XLNT season in 2024 with 61 receptions, 676 yards & 6 touchdowns for a 11.1 avg. He has good moves & is a deep ball threat with sticky fingers. Very consistent player.
20) Washington Commanders – Emeka Egbuka WR, Ohio St. 6’1″ 205 lbs
Egbuka has been contributing to the Buckeyes for 3 years. He bought his time & finally got his chance at WR1 in 2024 & took advantage of the situation. He had 60 receptions, 743 yards & 9 touchdowns for a 12.4 avg. He has a quiver full of moves, decent speed & tracks the ball well. Well coached by HC Ryan Day & his staff in Columbus.
21) Los Angeles Chargers – Colston Loveland TE, Michigan 6’5″ 245 lbs
QB Justin Herbert could use a good safety valve in a big way. He can run the seam or the sideline for chunk gains & is a good blocker on the offensive line & down field. In 2024 he had 56 receptions, 582 yards & 5 touchdowns for a 10.4 avg.
22) Denver Broncos – Cameron Williams OT, Texas 6’5″ 335 lbs
HC Sean Payton & the Broncos decide to get hot rookie QB Bo Nix some more pass protection. Williams has been a 3 year starter for the Longhorns & one of the leaders of this team. Rock solid in pass protection & a road grader for the ground game. Has good footwork & upper body strength.
23) Seattle Seahawks – Deone Walker NT, Kentucky 6’6″ 345 lbs
The Hawks have been giving up too many yards up the middle & Walker can come in & remedy the situation. Has the strength & muscle to bully offensive linemen. He gets double teamed & that lets other players get sacks & tackles for loss. For last season he had 37 tackles, 1.5 sacks & 2 passes defended.
24) Baltimore Ravens – Tyler Booker G, Alabama 6’5″ 325 lbs
Ravens need G, EDGE, Safety & take their biggest need 1st. Booker is an animal in the middle of the offensive line. Aggressive blocker who sticks with his man through the play. 3 year contributor for the Tide & an all SEC performer.
25) Houston Texans – Walter Nolen DL3T, Ole Miss 6’4″ 290 lbs
Nolen has been rolling through the SEC all season & has been pretty unstoppable. Has a quick 1st step to get him into the opponent’s backfield where he can cause trouble. Fast for a defensive lineman with strong arms. For 2024 he had 48 tackles, 6.5 sacks & 3 passes defended.
26) Green Bay Packers – Trey Amos CB, Ole Miss 6’1″ 190 lbs
Amos started out at Alabama for a couple seasons & transferred to Ole Miss for more playing time. I think this player is going to be a star at the next level & with a hot combine could go in the top 15. Plenty of speed to not allow separation, XLNT in cover man, a solid tackler in the open field. Makes clutch plays at critical times. For 2024 he had 47 tackles, 13 passes defended, 3 interceptions & 1 forced fumble. Watch out for this player!!
27) Pittsburgh Steelers – Isaiah Bond WR/WRS, Texas 5’11” 182 lbs
The Steelers need help at both receiver positions. Bond has very good speed, runs a good route tree & seems to be in the right place at the right time. For 2024 he had 33 receptions, 532 yards & 5 touchdowns for a 16.1 avg.
28) Minnesota Vikings – Benjamin Morrison CB, Notre Dame 6′ 186 lbs
The Vikes need secondary help & Morrison could fit in their defensive schemes quickly. He’s been injured 1/2 the season so his stats are down. He can play cover man or zone. Has the speed to not allow separation & tracks the ball well. In 2024 he accumulated 20 tackles & 4 passes defended. With proper coaching his best football should be ahead of him.
29) Buffalo Bills – Jalon Walker EDGE/OLB, Georgia 6’2″ 245 lbs
This player has had a hot season & his stock is starting to take off. He’s a little slight for playing out on the EDGE but would fit in real well as a 3/4 OLB on the blitz. For the 2024 season he put together 57 tackles, 6.5 sacks & 1 pass defended.
30) Philadelphia Eagles – Landon Jackson EDGE/DL5T, Arkansas 6’7″ 281 lbs
The Eagles could use a new presence on the EDGE & this player should be right up GM Roseman’s alley. Dominant player who can manhandle offensive linemen with his strength & power. For the 2024 season he had 49 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 3 passes defended & 1 forced fumble.
31) Kansas City Chiefs – Wyatt Milum OT, West Virginia 6’6″ 317 lbs
Milum has been getting a lot of positive press the last half of the season. Has long arms to keep ER’s at bay. Possesses upper & lower body strength. Has very good footwork. HC Andy Reid will mold this player into a positive LOT for the NFL.
32) Detroit Lions – Princely Umanmielen EDGE, Ole Miss 6’5″ 255 lbs
Ever since All pro “Hutch” went down with a broken leg the Lions are looking for depth & another starter on the EDGE. He played for the Gators for 2 years & transferred to Ole Miss. Has a lightning quick 1st step to propel him into opponents backfield where he can cause havoc & get sacks. In 2024 he had 34 tackles to go with an eye catching 10.5 sacks &1 forced fumble.
