2025 NFL mock draft: Justin Fields, Sam Darnold get help from new teams; Shedeur Sanders falls out of Round 1

After a very active free agency, this is the last thing for the Giants to do: secure a quarterback. And this swap would be a win-win for both sides. The Giants FINALLY get a quarterback, and the Titans add extra picks at the beginning of their rebuild, but don’t move down too far, out of the elite prospect range in this class.

The Browns simply take who they believe is the best prospect in this class. And many agree with them. They at least have a serviceable-ish bridge quarterback on the roster now in Kenny Pickett.

Moving on from Harold Landry and gaining some extra draft capital in the trade back makes this even sweeter for the Titans, who understand there’s some injury risk with Abdul Carter but love his film and athleticism. In the swap, they get the Giants’ second-round picks this year and next along with a fourth-round selection this year.

The Patriots pick Will Campbell in hopes of pairing him with free-agent signee Morgan Moses to solidify the edges around Drake Maye.

The Jaguars still need help inside on defense, and Mason Graham is the proper value here at No. 5 overall.

Everything is new and shiny in Las Vegas with the Raiders, and Pete Carroll gets another instant impact type in Jeanty to lead the way from the backfield.

The Jets get a complementary wideout to Garrett Wilson in the towering Drake London-like McMillan.

Surprise! Panthers general manager Dan Morgan, a damn good linebacker in his own right, drafts the speedy and physical Jihaad Campbell to be the leader of his defense.

Back-to-back first-round picks at offensive tackle for the Saints. Their new head coach Kellen Moore knows full well how vital it is to have a solid blocking unit at the foundation of the offense.

The Bears have added plenty of beef in free agency, mostly in the trenches. Now with Tyler Warren, they get more of it, and provide Caleb Williams another talented tight end.

James Pearce Jr. has plenty of Leonard Floyd to him and enters the league with more upside because of the power he packs when flying around the corner. Ideal pick to be the bookend to Nick Bosa.

The Cowboys pivot off running back in Round 1 and pick a local, instinctive, do-everything defensive back in Jahdae Barron.

The Dolphins pick Kelvin Banks Jr. to play left tackle under the impression Terron Armstead is going to call it quits.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard can’t resist elite-level testers with high-caliber measurements in the secondary. That’s precisely what Darien Porter is.

Would you look at that — a defensive first-round pick from Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot. Green may take time to acclimate to the NFL from Marshall, yet his traits are through the roof.

The Cardinals smartly addressed the trenches in free agency, giving them the green light to go offense for Kyler Murray.

The Bengals get one of the cleanest prospects in the entire draft in Malaki Starks.

The Seahawks begin to build around Sam Darnold with the talented receiving tight end from Michigan.

The Buccaneers get a towering, upfield pass rusher in Derrick Harmon to add more depth to their defensive front.

The Broncos take the speedy wideout from Texas to give Bo Nix more options at all levels of the field.

The Steelers replace a former first-round running back with another in the dynamic, big-bodied Omarion Hampton.

Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz, who was part of the staff in Baltimore that selected Kyle Hamilton, calls this pick in right away. Another fun, supreme athlete next to Derwin James.

Donovan Ezeiruaku doesn’t meet the Packers size prototype but has the length and has quality productivity. He’ll give Green Bay a boost up front and eventually attract some attention away from Rashan Gary.

Even though the Vikings re-signed Byron Murphy and added Isaiah Rodgers, this would be too talented of a prospect for Minnesota to pass on.

The Texans have to make this selection even though Josh Simmons is coming off a serious injury. When healthy, he has franchise left tackle traits, and Laremy Tunsil is now a Washington Commander.

The Rams stay local and get the super-rangy Carson Schwesinger to man the middle of their defense.

The tackle-guard flexibility will draw the Ravens toward Aireontae Ersery, and he had clean quality film at tackle over the past few seasons at Minnesota. Now we know he’s a supremely gifted athlete.

The Lions get a serious nose tackle prospect with plus run-stuffing skills and a glimmer of pass-rush ability for the middle of their defense.

The Commanders add more to the trenches with the high floor of Josh Conerly Jr., who can be a plug-and-play type at right tackle.

The Bills desperately need more athleticism in the cornerback room, and Trey Amos can provide exactly that.

Darius Alexander would provide Steve Spagnuolo even more blitzing creativity because of his positional flex.

No-brainer for Howie Roseman, who lands another premier athlete up front along the defensive line.
