We’re officially in that what-the-hell-is-happening phase of draft season. You know, where projections get thrown out the window, GMs start galaxy-braining their picks, and Twitter (sorry, X) melts in real time. And this year? The Colorado QB was supposed to be a lock for the top three, maybe even QB1. Instead, Shedeur Sanders’ stock is plummeting like a botched Hail Mary. Experts now peg him anywhere from pick No. 1 to No. 6—which, in draft terms, is a freefall. And while Sanders has been eyeing New York for months—flirting with the Giants, rocking Big Blue-colored cleats at the Alamo Bowl—it’s not a done deal. So, that’s how we came with our Mock Draft.

It’s the definition of chaos from start to finish. The Tennessee Titans just detonated the draft board by taking Abdul Carter at No. 1. Yes, that’s our first prediction, the Edge Rusher Abdul. And yes, I understand the repercussions of it: ‘How could we pick him over Travis Hunter, over Shedeur Sanders, over, well, logic itself? Well, like we said, chaos. But this is not that wild. If it does happen, this would be the first time since 2022 (when the Jags took Travon Walker) that a non-quarterback has gone first.

1. Tennesee Titans – Abdul Carter (Edge), Penn State

The Titans need a QB. Oh, no! They need a defensive back… Heck nah! We say they should cop Abdul Carter, and bring him to Tennessee State from Penn State. A game-wrecker off the edge, Carter fits the bill. Even Jeffery Simmons said it himself—Tennessee needs another pass-rushing DAWG. So, don’t be surprised if he does end up becoming the no. 1 overall just on the basis of his high-ceiling.

2. Cleveland Browns – Travis Hunter (CB/WR), Colorado

Travis Hunter to Cleveland? Makes too much sense. The Browns need a lockdown corner and a dynamic receiver—Hunter is both. And imagine, Dawg Pound, what would be the league’s plight if he were to pair with Denzel Ward? Scary. If not that, then Deshaun Watson could surely get an assured, Heisman winner weapon.

3. New York Giants – Cam Ward (QB), Miami

Like we said above, Sanders’ flirting with the Big Blue. But that doesn’t cut it… The Giants need stability under center, and Cam Ward has the tools to deliver. Mel Kiper’s already stamped him as their guy, and with his elite arm talent and mobility, New York won’t think twice if he’s sitting there at No. 3.

4. New England Patriots – Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT), Texas

If the Patriots want Drake Maye to succeed, they need to protect him—simple as that. The Pats Nation had to go through a ’24 season turmoil, that included a revolving door for an O-line. So, our instant solution to that is Kelvin Banks Jr. And for our money, he is the best tackle in this draft. If Mike Vrabel’s cooking up a dynasty reboot, this could be a strong start.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham (DT), Michigan

The Jags want to level up their defense. Well, they should, and if that’s the case, then Mason Graham is the move. He’s got the strength, the smarts, and a motor that doesn’t quit. As Tom Fornelli put it, he’s “extremely athletic, strong, and has a motor that goes forever.” Add in his ability to dominate the trenches, and another expert sees him as a “perennial Pro Bowler and anchor of a defense.” Jacksonville needs a force up front—Graham is that guy.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders (QB), Colorado

Tom Brady and Sin City are on the lookout. Locking Pete Carroll for a quick transformation is a statement enough: ‘Hey, we are coming in hot in the 2025 season.’ So, why not raise the heat with one of the hottest names in the draft this year… Shedeur Sanders. And yes, this is a freefall in the draft for him, but Las Vegas wouldn’t mind it. He’s the most precise passer in this draft, trailing only Cam in TDs (37) and ranking fourth in FBS passing yards (4,134).

7. New York Jets – Jalon Walker (LB), Georgia

Aaron Glenn knows a pass rush can make or break a secondary. Enter Jalon Walker. The Georgia linebacker isn’t just versatile—he’s a weapon. He can drop back in coverage or fire off the edge, making life miserable for quarterbacks. With 6.5 sacks in 2024, he’s got the production to back it up. Yeah, it’d be difficult for any offense to deal with him and Sauce Garder both. Now, that’s a Gang Green aura.

8. Carolina Panthers – Mykel Williams (DL), Georgia

Carolina could grab a weapon for Bryce Young, sure—but when your pass rush is running on fumes, you fix that first. The Panthers posted the league’s lowest QB pressure rate last season (25.5%), per Next Gen Stats. That’s a red flag waving in broad daylight. Mykel Williams changes that. I am not going into the nitty gritty of it. But will say this: Panthers need the juice—Williams brings the whole damn blender.

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

Tetairoa McMillan to the Saints just makes sense. We would have left it, but then all of you would have had a lot to say. He hauled in 213 catches for 3,423 yards and 26 touchdowns at Arizona—averaging over 15 yards per grab. Some see Tee Higgins in his game, and I get it. Big frame, strong hands, and a knack for making DBs look foolish.

The Saints need that. Chris Olave missed nearly half the season, and depth at WR isn’t exactly a strength. If New Orleans goes best player available in 2025, McMillan checks every box.

10. Chicago Bears – Will Campbell (OT), LSU

We are going to be that guy. Give all the QBs a similar set of weapons and protection, then compare them. So, that’s why Will Campbell to the Bears just claws into the system. Chicago’s O-line gave up a league-high 68 sacks in 2024—Caleb Williams needs a bodyguard, not a revolving door. Campbell brings that up. He’s a three-year LSU starter with the versatility to play LT or slide inside. His blend of power and technique makes him a literal BEAR in both run and pass blocking.

11. San Francisco 49ers – Josh Simmons (OT), Ohio

Josh Simmons should be San Francisco-bound already. That’s how much we believe in this draft pick. First, the same ol’ Trent Williams isn’t getting any younger, and the Niners need a plan for the future. But the actual reason? Simmons has the ‘it’ factor and the skills to thrive in Kyle Shanahan’s zone-heavy scheme. He can play both tackle spots, giving the Niners much-needed flexibility up front.

12. Dallas Cowboys – Ashton Jeanty (RB), Boise State

Ashton Jeanty to the Cowboys at No. 12? We’re all in (not the Jerry Jones kinda ‘all-in’). Dallas’ run game was a mess in 2024, and Jeanty is the kind of back who fixes that fast. He’s a true three-down weapon—explosive, tough, and dangerous as a receiver. His balance, vision, and burst make defenders look silly. The Cowboys need a playmaker in the backfield, and Jeanty gives them a guy who can change the game from Day 1. Yes, pick him and slot him right in! No, two ways.

13. Miami Dolphins – Malaki Starks (S), Georgia

Did someone say the Phins need a secondary? Malaki Starks checks all the boxes. We are going to say it on behalf of the fandom: Jevon Holland hasn’t been as reliable, and Jordan Poyer’s coverage isn’t holding up. So, that’s where I respect Starks as more than just a safety—he’s a problem solver. He can roam deep, step into the box, or lock up a slot receiver without missing a beat.

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

What you see is what you get with Tyler Warren—a big, athletic tight end who could fill a glaring need for the Colts. Indy’s tight end production last season was abysmal. We are not going to sit here and say that it was the reason for Anthony Richardson‘s Sophomore Slump, but AR needs a reliable target over the middle. Warren’s size and hands make him a natural red-zone weapon, and his blocking adds extra value. If free agency doesn’t fix the issue, the Colts can’t afford to pass on Warren at 14.

15. Atlanta Falcons – Mike Green (Edge), Marshall

Alright, hear us out—Mike Green to the Falcons might not be the flashy pick, but it could be the smartest one. We’re talking about a guy who led the entire FBS in sacks (17) last season, yet somehow, he’s still flying under the radar. That Senior Bowl clip of him sending Josh Conerly Jr. into orbit? Yeah, that wasn’t a fluke. Now, I get it—he played at Marshall, not exactly an SEC powerhouse. But production is production. Green might be a gamble at 15, but if he hits, Atlanta could finally have a legit pass-rushing threat instead of another “developmental project.”

16. Arizona Cardinals – Nic Scourton (Edge), A&M

The Cardinals could do really good with some real bite in their pass rush. At a pick 16, one might think WHO? We will always say, Nic Scourton. 6’4”, 280 pounds, built like a wrecking ball and plays like one too. Long arms? Perfect for swatting passes. Heavy hands? OLs hate them. He transferred to Texas A&M and still racked up five sacks and 14 tackles for loss in just one season—pair that with his 10-sack sophomore year at Purdue, and you see the pattern. He’s raw, sure, but if Arizona gets him in the right system, he could go from ‘solid pick’ to ‘problem for QBs’ real quick.

17. Cincinnati Bengals – Walter Nolen (DT), Ole Miss

If the Bengals want to stop bleeding points, Walter Nolen might be their answer. Cincy gave up 25.5 points per game last season—one of the worst in the league—and a big reason was their inability to control the trenches. Enter Nolen, who can plug gaps and collapse pockets before plays even develop. With B.J. Hill possibly leaving, the Bengals need a difference-maker on the interior, and Nolen’s ceiling could be exactly what Who Dey’s been craving for.

18. Seattle Seahawks – Armand Membou (OT), Missouri

Seattle’s offensive line was a weekly stress test in 2024—54 sacks, a run game stuck in neutral, and a lot of pressure on Geno Smith. Enter Armand Membou. He plays like he’s allergic to letting defenders through. As NFL.com mentioned, the most important feature of his game is his versatility to play either guard or tackle. That flexibility gives Seattle options, whether they want him anchoring the interior or stepping in at tackle to solidify the edges. His run-blocking is especially nasty—exactly what this team needs to get Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet rolling again.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – James Pearce Jr. (Edge), Tennessee

To be honest with you, the Bucs’ pass rush is solid. We saw that. But they need a true edge threat. That’s where James Pearce Jr. could sneak in. His 7.5 sacks in the 2024 season might not scream superstar just yet, but the talent is there. He’s got the speed, most importantly age on his side, and the kind of relentless motor that can make life hell. Pair him with Yaya Diaby, and suddenly, Tampa’s front gets a whole lot scarier.

20. Denver Broncos – Colston Loveland (TE), Michigan

If the Broncos pull the trigger on Colston Loveland, We’d be happy (obviously for my prediction). But there’s a Sean Payton tell: he loves a versatile TE. Loveland’s got reliable hands, smooth footwork, and enough blocking ability to hold his own. But let’s be honest, he’s not a Day 1 game-changer. Michigan’s shifting offense didn’t do him many favors, and he’s not exactly a yards-after-catch machine. Still, in Payton’s system, he could thrive as that big-slot ‘joker’ type, creating mismatches and giving the offense another dimension.

21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jaxson Dart (QB), Ole Miss

I mean, Steel City has been yearning for someone who can throw darts. But they could haul a DART. If the Steelers roll with Jaxson Dart at No. 21, It’s a bet on potential rather than proven production. Sure, he flashed at the Senior Bowl, and his 7,633 passing yards over the last two seasons show he can sling it, but is he really an upgrade over Justin Fields?

Mike Tomlin had a front-row seat to Dart’s rise and Fields’ ups and downs, so if Pittsburgh makes this move, it signals they’re ready to reset at QB.

22. Los Angeles Chargers – Shavon Revel (CB), Pirates

In the grand scheme of things, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. So, LA, in our opinion, should go for it. But the Chargers swinging for Shavon Revel Jr. in the first round is a classic high-risk, high-reward play. On one hand, his size, athleticism, and instincts scream the future lockdown corner. On the other, he’s coming off a torn ACL. Pro football can get beastly for the newcomers too.

23. Green Bay Packers – Jahdae Barron (CB), Texas

The Packers might be looking at Jahdae Barron (the side-eyes) to patch up their banged-up secondary, and honestly, it’s giving Stranger Things—because without reinforcements, this defense might be stuck in the Upside Down. Barron isn’t the biggest corner, but his playmaking is straight out of a highlight reel—five picks, 16 passes defensed, and a Jim Thorpe Award to prove he’s the real deal.

24. Minnesota Vikings – Kenneth Grant (DT), Michigan

What’s a Viking mentality? To take one on the chin, only to reply with twice as much force… Yeah, Kenneth Grant already says ‘I am a Vike’. Skol! At 339 pounds, he moves like a man half his size, collapsing pockets and stuffing runs with ease. Brian Flores loves versatile linemen, and Grant’s ability to play multiple fronts makes him an ideal fit.

25. Houston Texans – Emeka Egbuka (WR), Ohio

The Texans need a reliable target for C.J. Stroud, and Emeka Egbuka checks every box. With Tank Dell sidelined and veteran depth uncertain, Egbuka’s versatility and playmaking ability could be it. And maybe, just maybe, Egbuka could be the guy who could fulfill Dell’s prediction of CJ being the ‘greatest QB in the league’.

26. Los Angeles Rams – Luther Burden III (WR), Missouri

The Rams can’t do with any more burdens, I tell you. Bar one. Luther Burden III. Love a flashy receiver corp? He’s HIM. Well, fitting the bill is getting kinda too obvious, but in LA, he could make his name, especially with Cooper Kupp’s future uncertain. Burden’s ability to turn short throws into big gains could be exactly what Sean McVay’s offense needs. Pair him with Puka Nacua, and suddenly, Matthew Stafford has another go-to weapon to keep defenses on their heels.

27. Baltimore Ravens – Donovan Jackson (OG), Ohio

Look, the Ravens love to run the ball, and if they wanna keep Lamar upright and their ground game dominant, they need to beef up the O-line. They’ve lost some guys up front, and Donovan Jackson just feels like the shoe that fits perfectly for Baltimore. He’s physical, he moves well, and he’ll clear lanes for that run-heavy offense. Easy pick.

28. Detroit Lions – Jihaad Campbell (LB), Alabama

Detroit’s defense is getting better, but they’re still missing that athletic, do-it-all linebacker. Jihaad Campbell has the speed, the instincts, and the coverage skills they need. Plus, tell me Dan Campbell isn’t gonna love a guy with the same last name who plays like his hair’s on fire. Feels like almost Serendipity.

29. Washington Commanders – Josh Conerly Jr. (OT), Oregon

A new QB coming in? Cool. Yes, Jayden Daniels is the coolest guy. Cinderella Commanders rode on his Hail Marys. But you gotta protect him. Washington’s O-line… Let’s just say it needs help. Conerly’s got the size, the footwork, and the upside to be their long-term left tackle. Might take a little time to develop, but man, the potential is there. If you’re investing in a franchise QB, this pick makes too much sense.

30. Buffalo Bills – Donovan Ezeiruaku (DE), Boston

Buffalo’s defense needs some fresh legs on the edge. Von Miller isn’t what he used to be, and they can’t rely on patchwork signings forever. Ezeiruaku? High motor, quick first step, relentless. That’s the kind of guy McDermott loves. Plug him into the rotation, and he’ll start wrecking plays in no time.

31. Kansas City Chiefs – Derrick Harmon (DT), Oregon

Chris Jones is a monster, but let’s be real—he can’t do it all by himself. More so, he is not getting young by any means. The Chiefs need another big guy inside to take some pressure off him. Harmon is a space-eater who can stuff the run and push the pocket. Getting the sacks may not come as easy. But he’ll let Jones feast. Feels like a smart move for KC.

32. Philadelphia Eagles – Shemar Stewart (DT), A&M

With Fletcher Cox‘s retirement, the Eagles have big shoes to fill on their defensive line. Shemar brings the size, strength, and quickness to step into that role. Pairing him with Jalen Carter ensures the Eagles maintain a dominant interior defense. Philly loves to keep their defensive front scary. No-brainer.
