2025 NFL Mock Draft: Commanders trade for Myles Garrett, Browns pick QB late in Round 1

The Titans new GM Mike Borgonzi goes with an elite talent at a premium position in Carter, who looked a lot like Micah Parsons on the edge in his final year at Penn State.

The Browns pass on the perceived “top” quarterbacks in this class and land on Hunter, a do-everything, legit two-way player with freaky traits.

The Giants HAVE to go quarterback here, and Ward would be a fine get for New York at No. 3 overall.

Campbell is the prudent selection here for the Patriots who must protect Drake Maye significantly better than they did during his rookie season.

The Jaguars have to get more talent into the secondary. Johnson checks the boxes for a lockdown No. 1 cornerback.

No trade needed this time. Tom Brady, Pete Carroll and Co. land their quarterback of the future in Sanders.

Another playmaking talent for whoever is playing quarterback for the Jets in 2025 and beyond. McMillan is a lot like Drake London on the field.

With Graham and Derrick Brown back next season, the Panthers could go from having one of the most porous defensive interiors to a ferocious tandem at that position in a flash.

The Saints passed on Brock Bowers a year ago and now get another freakish specimen at the tight end position.

The Bears get a true running mate for Montez Sweat along their defensive line with the similarly long and athletic Pearce from Tennessee.

The 49ers get their offensive tackle of the future in the pass-pro specialist with athleticism in a compact frame.

I maintain that if Jeanty is available when Jerry Jones goes on the clock, the Boise State back will be the pick.

Starks would give the Dolphins another premier playmaker at the safety spot who will contribute on three downs in a big way. He’ll probably re-sign, but Jevon Holland is a free agent.

How about another shifty YAC type at receiver to pair for Year 3 of Anthony Richardson?

It’ll be a big jump in competition for Green, coming from Marshall, yet he has the size, length, burst, and bend to win on sheer athleticism alone to begin his NFL career.

I could see the coaches in Arizona loving the legitimate versatility of Walker, who can find the ball-carrier on early downs and rush from the edge in obvious passing situations.

Nolen is a freaky mover with long arms and supreme power at the point of attack. He’s precisely what the Bengals need on their defensive interior.

Booker is an NFL-ready guard who’d help the Seahawks reestablish toughness on the inside of their blocking unit, which lacked in 2024.

With Umanmielen and Yaya Diaby, the Buccaneers would boast two young but powerful outside rushers.

Sean Payton gets a talented receiving tight end to work the seam for Bo Nix.

Morrison is simply too sudden for the Steelers to pass on him here. He’ll be an instant starter in Pittsburgh across from Joey Porter Jr.

Imagine Emmanwori and Derwin James in the same secondary. They’re two oversized but uber-athletic safety talents.

The Packers need and want size and strength on the interior of their defensive line. They’d get both in spades with the impossibly large Walker who can win up the field.

Before his injury, Revel felt like a first-round lock. With his injury occurring so early in the 2024 season, the Vikings are fine selecting him here. He’s long, uber-talented and comes with plus ball skills.

Addressing the interior of the offensive line is priority No. 1 for the Texans, and Jackson has the size, length, and athleticism to sneak into Round 1 at the guard position.

After a Cooper Kupp trade, the Rams will have a glaring need opposite Puka Nacua in the receiver room. Enter the NFL-ready wideout from Ohio State.

The Ravens go with an extremely high-upside left tackle who was trending toward the top half of the first round before his injury in 2024. He can immediately stand in for impending free agent Ronnie Stanley.

There’s rawness to Stewart’s game. He also might be the most physicality gifted defensive end in the entire class. Ideal complement to Aidan Hutchinson in Detroit.

The Browns go a unique route to land their quarterback, and being the No. 29 overall pick won’t cost this cash-strapped club nearly as much as if he was the No. 2 overall pick.

The Bills go with a proven inside and outside rusher with a thick frame, plus athleticism, and quality hand work to bolster the pass rush.

This is a Georgia defensive lineman available for the Eagles in the first round. Howie Roseman adds another Bulldog to the front.

A wide but athletic, nuanced pass rusher who holds his own against the run. Ideal to play next to Chris Jones in Kansas City.
