In this edition, Charles McDonald makes a strange number of picks, and Nate Tice makes them even.
Previous Mock Draft: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0
1. Tennessee Titans – Come Ward, QB, Miami
The Titans need help at quarterback. In this scenario, there is the shape of the Miami Hurricane quarterback comeward. Ward is a quarterback risk taker, but he has the advantages and arm talent to become a long-term starter in the league. At this point in the draft, there are certainly worse bets made than Ward, which will be a great landing spot for him. – Charles McDonald
2. Cleveland Browns – Abdul Carter, Edge, PA
Whatever happens with the Miles Garrett Saga, along with Carter, the Browns either acquire potential high-end running buddies across from Garrett or a new potential top to build future defenses You will win a tier pass rush. The Browns are clearly doing their homework in QB, but in this scenario they are trying to find a 2025 bi-low veteran and focus on the QB draft. . -Nate Tice
3. New York Giants – Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
The Giants were undoubtedly the best player in the overall draft here, thanks to Travis Hunter’s choice. Hunter’s best NFL position is probably at cornerback, but he has enough skill as a receiver to start from there. Hunter will make a lot of sense in a world where the Giants pass quarterbacks.
4. LasVegas Raiders (via New England Patriot) – Chedure Sanders, QB, Colorado
Trade! Although Sanders’ position as QB2 is still entitled to him, the Raiders have decided to get a man of the future. Veterinary QB may still be an option, but the Raiders have decided not to take any further semi-measures in that position and commit to players under the new regime.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
Mason Graham is a monster along the defensive front, and the Jaguars need to hurry and try to turn around. Graham was injured in 2024, but in 2023 he was the best Michigan defence dominant player in college football history. He has the athleticism and skills Jacksonville wants on their line of defensiveness.
6. New England Patriots (from the Raiders) – Tetaroa McMillian, WR, Arizona
The advantage of having so many holes in the roster is that there are quite a lot of players and scenarios that make sense. Will Campbell is definitely an option here. I believe in drafting trenches early and often high at Campbell (even in tackles), especially on barren rosters, but I think Macmillan is a real maker of difference. Patriots need to deal with this draft and free agency, but creating a simple button for May has a positive effect on other Patriot pass catchers being hit with better roles.
7. New York Jets – Campbell, OT, LSU
The Jets chose Or Fashanu to knock it out of the park last season, so there’s a running buddy for him on the other side of the offensive line. Fashane and Will Campbell will give the Jets the offensive line foundation they missed during the Joe Douglas era.
8. Carolina Panthers – Mykel Williams, DL, Georgia
The Panthers’ defense lacks players to move the needle in 2024, particularly after being injured by Derrick Brown. Williams had an inconsistent year as he fought injury in 2024, but he still showed that he could get a glimpse of his upside down just like anyone in this draft. He may take a little while, but the Panthers have it, and Williams can become a real difference maker if he continues to add more techniques to his natural talent.
9. New Orleans Saints – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Johnson’s “Autumn” stops here. Johnson is one of the most talented players in the entire class, but his injury shortened his final season at Ann Arbor. At his best, he is a cornerback eraser talent and has ample ball skill.
10. ChicagoBears – Armand Membou, OT, Mizzou
Membou has a unique build for tackles, but he has the length, strength and athletic ability to stay there. Will Membou get a chance with a left tackle or fill in one of Chicago’s guard spots (it’s fun to watch the double-team on the right of Membou-Darnell Wright). So that they can get.
11. San Francisco 49ers – Mike Green, Edge, Marshall
The 49ers still have a talented roster. But one space they can use some help is that they are along the line of defence where they need to return to their roots as a great pass rush team. Mike Green is a raw player, but he has to be one of the top pass rushes selected this year for his incredible advantages.
12. Dallas Cowboys – Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon
Harmon has done a lot well and will help give the Cowboys a potential Ossiwa replacement if they end up leaving for free agency. He fitted well into Matt Ebalfurs’ four-down defense. He probably won’t be a high-end sack, but Harmon can stay on the field due to his ability to affect both runs and passes.
13. Miami Dolphins – Malachi Starks, S, Georgia
Jevon Holland Out, Malaki Starks In. The Starks are, at his best, the really dominant tackler of the backend and a very talented defensive back who can become a coverage player.
14. IndianapolisColts – Tyler Booker, G, Alabama
Cornerback is another position that Indianapolis can go with him here along with tight ends, but Willmith is a free agent with right guard. And the Colts were able to build one of the better lines of the league with one of the strongest guard pairings by adding Booker to the offense.
15. Atlanta Falcons – Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M
Atlanta will be making a big swing here with raw talent Shemmer Stewart. Stewart has all the tools to become a great defensive lineman in the NFL, but he needs some guidance to help him grasp some of the finer details of defensive lineplay. It will become.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Jaron Walker, Edge, Georgia/LB
One of my favorite players in this draft class, Walker is a dynamic footballer who doesn’t have a perfect fit, but he’s just doing things. Just getting him into the cardinal defense and I’m a really exciting fit. “The Tween defender is likely to have flashbacks from Cardinals fans when he was Steve Kayme, but Walker has pass rush juice.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan
Cincinnati needs to be much more difficult in advance along the line of defensiveness. This inserts a Behemo Skenes Grant (6 feet 3, 342 pounds) here as a quick and long-term fix for the ran defense disaster that Cincinnati has been suffering from.
18. Seattle Seahawks – Tyler Warren, Te, Pennsylvania
The offensive line will definitely be seen here, but the Seahawks will instead add blocking help elsewhere by adding Noah Phant and the promising AJ Burner and Tyler Warren. Warren has the potential for actual inline blocking and can be tailored to the entire formation as a receiver. His versatility fits perfectly with Klint Kubiak’s preference for using fullbacks on two tight ends or early downs.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jihad Campbell in LB Alabama
Tampa Bay needs a linebacker and Jihad Campbell may be the only first-round player of the year. When life gives you lemons, you know the rest.
20. DenverBroncos – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
The Broncos can be blocked, but in 2024 there was a room in RB, making full use of the design and lanes that were created. Please enter Ashton Jeanty. Ashton Janthi really doesn’t need lanes, but it’s a more sliver for creating explosive plays. Jeanti and his Broncos offensive line with Sean Payton are personified heart-eye emojis.
twenty one. PittsburghSteelers – Shavon Revel, CB, ECU
Shavon Revel is putting the final touch on ACL recovery in Indianapolis so he won’t work out, but he’s the perfect place for where the Steelers are now and fits his big needs as a starting cornerback. It’s there.
twenty two. LosAngeles Chargers – Colston Loveland, Michigan, TE, TE
Jim Harbaugh makes himself a Michigan man. Will spent his career uncomfortably and was given plenty of opportunity from the offenses of Justin Herbert and the Chargers. Loveland has the ability to line up in slots or align as isolated receivers, creating a fun synergy with Ladd McConkey.
twenty three. Green Bay Packers – Josh Simons, OT, Ohio
The offensive line is a huge need for Packers, especially with offensive tackles, when they decide to tinker with the way they deploy players to the interior. Enter Josh Simons as a high-upside player on the edge to develop when the suffering ACL is torn in October.
twenty four. Minnesota Viking – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Baron alongside Texas’ defense, influenced the game as coverage and blitzer. He goes to the Vikings defense under Brian Flores and loves his versatile and offensive defender and makes the most of it. Baron doesn’t have an ideal fit and may just be labeled “DB”, but he can give the Vikings a younger talent for the backend and impact the game earlier.
twenty five. Houston Texans – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio
They added Stefon Diggs to this group last year, but even if he walks at a free agency, the Texans can use talent injections on a wide range of receivers to stabilize their offense after last season. it is clear. Egbuka is comprehensive, can play inside and outside, and he brings toughness.
26. LosAngeles Rams – Josh Conerly, OT, Oregon
Connelly has improved throughout 2024, with light feet and athletic ability that is difficult to teach. He still has to add strength and continue to improve his techniques, but he was able to give the Rams a choice as a real blindside protector of the future.
27. Baltimore Ravens – Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio
The Ravens’ offensive line could use some work, but they played well last season at the talent level they worked for. There’s more internal strengthening with Ohio’s offensive lineman Novan Jackson.
(Participate or create Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League for the 2025 MLB season)
28. DetroitLions – JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio
There are some things I like about the pairing of Chuymorrow and Aidan Hutchinson. Tuimoloau is a strong pocket pusher that is effective for both runs and passes. He’s not always a sexy player, but his strength, combined with Hutchinson’s speed and inner Alim McNeill, is a pocket nightmare for QB to navigate.
29. Commander of Washington – Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC
surprise? The second running back will enter the first round and Omarion Hampton, who was drafted by UNC at this point. Hampton and Jayden Daniels could form a Hellers-like backfield in Washington State and play another deep playoff run next season.
30. Buffalo Bills – Nick Emanwy, S., South Carolina
There was a flash of light during Cole Bishop’s rookie season, but mostly up and down. Damar Hamlin is a free agent and Taylor Rapp is a great starter on the backend, but an overwhelming starter. Emmanwori has the chance to become The Headline-Stealer, combined with his measuring and training, and he’s got what they’ve had in the past, as his solid play makes him more than just a thing. Workout Warriors gave the bill a different type of safety.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Ol, Minnesota, Ol,
Have you seen the Super Bowl? The Chiefs need the help of the offensive line and they can get it here with the huge (6ft-6, 331lb) and versatile Aireontae Erersery that they can steal at this point in the first round You can do it.
32. Philadelphia Eagles – Marcus MBOW, OL, Purdue
Eagles. Trench. Mbow has the opportunity to stay (and become Lane Johnson’s heir) if the Eagles move out of Mekhi Becton. Either way, it’s the depths of a greater man the Eagles love.
