1. Carolina Panthers - Will Campbell (OL)

If the Carolina Panthers already need to replace Bryce Young here, that certainly wouldn't be a good sign. We'll bank on Young at least showing some potential this season, leading the Panthers to invest heavily in their offensive line by selecting Will Campbell with the first overall pick. 

2. New England Patriots - James Pearce Jr. (DL)

The makeup of James Pearce Jr. out of Tennessee screams top 3 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. Pearce Jr. is built like a truck and will really add a missing dynamic element to the New England Patriots defensive core. 

3. Denver Broncos - Mason Graham (DL)

The Denver Broncos have the chance to build another special defense, but they'll need to nail their early draft picks in their rebuild. Mason Graham is right in the mold of a potential stud addition to their defensive line. 

4. New York Giants - Carson Beck (QB)

There's a real case to be made that Carson Beck is the most pro style ready quarterback in this draft class. With the New York Giants having a clear need at the position, Beck makes plenty of sense here. 

5. Tennessee Titans - Deone Walker (DT)

Deone Walker immediately pops as a potential top draft pick in this class. The Tennessee Titans are trying to fill out their young core, and adding Walker to the mix elevates their build. 

6. Washington Commanders - Will Johnson (DB)

There's some competition, but we don't have any doubt that Will Johnson is the top defensive back in this draft class. The Washington Commanders agree with that sentiment and pounce on the opportunity to select him.  

7. Las Vegas Raiders - Shedeur Sanders (QB)

In our eyes, the Las Vegas Raiders don't have their quarterback of the future on their roster. Although there are some question marks surrounding Shedeur Sanders, the Raiders can't afford to pass up on the potential upside. 

8. New Orleans Saints - Travis Hunter (WR/CB)

It's hard to say exactly what Travis Hunter will be at the next level. In saying that, the talent level is undeniable, and the New Orleans Saints pounce on the chance to draft him here. 

9. Minnesota Vikings - Benjamin Morrison (CB)

Benjamin Morrison continues to stand out as a real dangerous weapon at Notre Dame. With another solid season with the Fighting Irish, he'll lock himself into the top 10 range, which we expect Minnesota to be in. 

10. Arizona Cardinals - Kelvin Banks Jr. (OL)

If the Arizona Cardinals want to start making the necessary strides in order to become a contender in the NFC, they'll need to invest more in their offensive line, which they do here by grabbing the talented Kelvin Banks Jr. 

11. Seattle Seahawks - Harold Perkins Jr. (LB)

Harold Perkins Jr. has the real potential to be a top 10 pick when the draft eventually comes. With a high end class of prospects, someone has to drop and that's exactly what happens here to the benefit of the Seattle Seahawks. 

12. Indianapolis Colts - Luther Burden III (WR)

There are multiple talented pass catchers expected to be high first round picks in this draft class. Luther Burden III is right in the mix at the top, and the Indianapolis Colts seem like a natural fit. 

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Emery Jones Jr. (OL)

With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers seemingly invested in quarterback Baker Mayfield, it only makes sense to add his protection and also help the run game in the process with Emery Jones Jr. 

14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Emeka Egbuka (WR)

If the Pittsburgh Steelers don't add to their wide receiver room via trade this season, it only makes sense that they invest a high value pick toward that in the 2025 NFL Draft. Emeka Egbuka stands out as a great selection in this range. 

15. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jonah Savaiinaea (OL)

It's very important that the Jacksonville Jaguars continue adding to their offensive line. With a lot already invested in Trevor Lawrence, adding a talent like Jonah Savaiinaea to their offensive line makes great sense here. 

16. Los Angeles Chargers - Evan Stewart (WR)

After reshaping their wide receiver room last year, the Los Angeles Chargers continue on that route with Evan Stewart. Even if this isn't Jim Harbaugh's preferred asset allocation strategy, the talent of Stewart is difficult to pass up here.

17. Cleveland Browns - Mykel Williams (DL)

There's plenty to like about a Cleveland defense that features a strong secondary, Myles Garrett, and a new edition out of Georgia in Mykel Williams.

18. Los Angeles Rams - Abdul Carter (LB)

You never want to say that a team is trying to find another version of a legendary player that's retire from their franchise, but the Rams need help in that area and land on selecting Abdul Carter to bolster their defense. 

19. Chicago Bears - JT Tuimoloau (DE)

The Chicago Bears young core has the ability to add another promising talent here. JT Tuimoloau has been a staple a Ohio State and will fit in seamlessly with the Bears. 

20. Atlanta Falcons - Kenneth Grant (DL)

There are multiple NFL traits that Kenneth Grant brings to the table out of Michigan. The Atlanta Falcons see this skills and consider him a great value pick in this range. 

21. Miami Dolphins - Tyleik Williams (DT)

The Miami Dolphins can use more help on their defensive line. Tyleik Williams boasts plenty of the traits that the Dolphins should be looking for here. 

22. New York Jets - Tetairoa McMillan (WR)

With some quarterbacks still on the board, the New York Jets have the ability to do the funniest thing ever. With Tetairoa McMillan still lurking, they opt for a talented wideout instead. 

23. Green Bay Packers - Isaiah Bond (WR)

If the Green Bay Packers want to take another step forward, adding a dynamic weapon like Isaiah Bond makes a lot of sense in this range. Jordan Love will certainly appreciate this pick. 

24. Houston Texans - Nic Scourton (LB)

With a strong year at Texas A&M, it won't be a surprise if Nic Scourton isn't even available in this range. For now, the Houston Texans see the value and sweep him up. 

25. Dallas Cowboys - Barrett Carter (LB)

It won't be much of a surprise to see the Dallas Cowboys add to their linebacker core in this range. Barrett Carter is a very talented prospect and checks a lot of the boxes here. 

26. Buffalo Bills - Tacario Davis (CB)

The Buffalo Bills can use some youthful talent to develop in their secondary. Tacario Davis out of Arizona completely fits the bill here late in the first round. 

27. Philadelphia Eagles - Jack Sawyer (DE)

It's no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles have been very Georgia Bulldog heavy on defense of late. They opt to take a potential difference maker out of Ohio State here in Jack Sawyer. 

28. Cincinnati Bengals - Quinshon Judkins (RB)

It's certainly becoming more rare for teams to select a running back in the first round. Still, Quinshon Judkins has that type of grade for the Cincinnati Bengals with his skillset. 

29. Detroit Lions - Princely Umanmielen (DE)

There's been some real chatter around Princely Umanmielen for a while now. Although his status has somewhat dropped off a bit, the Lions feel the need to take an upside swing here. 

30. Baltimore Ravens - Tyler Booker (OL)

It's so early in the process that it feels weird to say that Tyler Booker and the Baltimore Ravens feel like a match made in heaven. 

31. San Francisco 49ers - Anthony Belton (OL)

The San Francisco 49ers offensive line isn't getting younger. With a loaded roster that could see changes coming, the 49ers opt to build their foundation through the trenches by selecting Anthony Belton. 

32. Kansas City Chiefs - Ajani Cornelius (OL)

There are multiple directions the Kansas City Chief can go here. They settle to add more depth to their offensive line and add one of the top names in this class with Ajani Cornelius.
