1. Carolina Panthers - Kelvin Banks Jr. (OL)

It would be worrisome if the Carolina Panthers were already thinking about replacing Bryce Young. However, we're optimistic that Young will demonstrate enough potential this season, convincing the Panthers to focus on enhancing their offensive line instead. Selecting Kelvin Banks Jr. with the first overall pick would be a wise decision.

2. New England Patriots - Travis Hunter (WR/CB)

Next year, the New England Patriots will be keen on bolstering their lineup with more skilled position players. Regardless of whether Travis Hunter plays in their secondary or as a wide receiver, his impact will be significant, as evidenced by his performance in Week 1 of the college football season. The decision on whether to select an offensive lineman or talented wideout will be interesting. 

3. Denver Broncos - James Pearce Jr. (DL)

The Denver Broncos have the potential to construct a strong defense, but their success hinges on making smart choices with their early draft picks during their rebuild. James Pearce Jr. stands out as a prime candidate to anchor this defensive build.

4. New York Giants - Carson Beck (QB)

A strong argument can be made that Carson Beck is the most NFL-ready quarterback in this draft. Given the New York Giants' evident need for a franchise quarterback, selecting Beck would be a prudent choice.

5. Tennessee Titans - Will Campbell (OL)

A key area that needs improvement for the Tennessee Titans is their offensive line. Will Campbell stands out as a top prospect in this area, making him an strong choice for the Titans inside the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft. 

6. Washington Commanders -Mason Graham (DL)

The Washington Commanders are focused on constructing a strong defense with their top 10 pick. Mason Graham emerges as an obvious standout and a solid foundation to center their defensive efforts around.

7. Las Vegas Raiders - Shedeur Sanders (QB)

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to pinpoint their future starting quarterback, and it's unlikely they have one in their system. Despite some uncertainties with Shedeur Sanders, the Raiders should take into account his significant potential for growth and upside. 

8. New Orleans Saints -Deone Walker (DT)

Deone Walker exhibits many qualities that the New Orleans Saints value on defense. With another impressive season at Kentucky, Walker could secure his status as a potential top 10 draft pick.

9. Minnesota Vikings - Will Johnson (DB)

Given all his talent, it's difficult to see Will Johnson falling outside the top 10. The Minnesota Vikings, with pressing needs in their secondary, are likely to seize the opportunity to draft Johnson.

10. Arizona Cardinals - Benjamin Morrison (CB)

Benjamin Morrison continues to shine at Notre Dame, proving to be a key player in their secondary. Another standout season with the Fighting Irish could position him among the top 10 draft picks, aligning well with where Arizona is projected to make their selection.

11. Seattle Seahawks - Quinn Ewers (QB)

The Seattle Seahawks don't have a pressing need at quarterback, but it would be wise of them to consider one of the talented prospects in this draft class. Quinn Ewers has a lot of pro qualities to his game that should appeal to Mike Macdonald and company. 

12. Indianapolis Colts - Luther Burden III (WR)

This draft class features a wealth of talented receivers expected to go early in the first round. Luther Burden III, among the top prospects, seems to be a perfect fit for the Indianapolis Colts.

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

Given the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' significant investment in quarterback Baker Mayfield, it makes sense to enhance his protection and boost the running game by adding Emery Jones Jr.

14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Emeka Egbuka (WR)

Should the Pittsburgh Steelers not acquire a wide receiver through trade this season, it would be wise to use a high pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Emeka Egbuka would be an excellent choice in this range of the first round. 

15. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jonah Savaiinaea (OL)

The Jacksonville Jaguars need to keep improving their offensive line. Given their significant investment in Trevor Lawrence, bringing in a talent like Jonah Savaiinaea would be a smart move.

16. Los Angeles Chargers - Tetairoa McMillan (WR)

After revamping their wide receiver group last year, the Los Angeles Chargers aim to continue this overhaul by adding Tetairoa McMillan. While this move might not completely match Jim Harbaugh's preferred strategy for asset allocation, McMillan's exceptional talent is too substantial to overlook.

17. Cleveland Browns - Harold Perkins Jr. (LB)

It's no secret that the Cleveland Browns already have one of the top defenses in the NFL. Bolstering a strength when there's value on the board in the draft makes plenty of sense, and that's what the Browns do here with Harold Perkins Jr. 

18. Los Angeles Rams - Abdul Carter (LB)

While it may not be ideal to say a team is looking to replace a retired legend, the Rams clearly need help in that area. They are tackling this issue by drafting Abdul Carter to strengthen their defense.

19. Chicago Bears - Kenneth Grant (DL)

The Chicago Bears have the potential to create something exceptional on offense. Although their defense is improving as well, the opportunity to add a talent like Kenneth Grant is too compelling to overlook.

20. Atlanta Falcons - JT Tuimoloau (DE)

Following an unexpected top 10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft with a quarterback stunning everyone, the Atlanta Falcons quickly capitalize on their next opportunity by choosing one of the best defenders available, JT Tuimoloau.

21. Miami Dolphins - Tyleik Williams (DT)

The Miami Dolphins need additional reinforcement on their defensive line. Tyleik Williams possesses the attributes that make him an ideal fit for the Dolphins' needs.

22. New York Jets - Evan Stewart (WR)

With many quarterbacks still available, the New York Jets are in a position to make an unexpected choice and really ruffle some feathers. Instead of selecting a quarterback, they select a talented wide receiver in Evan Stewart.

23. Green Bay Packers - Jabbar Muhammad (DB)

The Green Bay Packers have various options to consider at this point in the draft. Should a player of Jabbar Muhammad's caliber still be available, his array of desirable traits makes him an attractive prospect for the Packers.

24. Houston Texans - Nic Scourton (LB)

After a standout season at Texas A&M, it wouldn’t be surprising if Nic Scourton were already off the board at this point. Nonetheless, with him still available, the Houston Texans recognize his value and seize the chance to draft him here.

25. Dallas Cowboys - Mykel Williams (DL)

It wouldn't be surprising to see the Dallas Cowboys bolster their defensive corps in this range of the late first round. Mykel Williams has multiple standout qualities that the Dallas Cowboys should covet.

26. Buffalo Bills - Tacario Davis (CB)

The Buffalo Bills could benefit from new talent in their secondary, and Tacario Davis from Arizona stands out as a perfect match, particularly as a late first-round pick.

27. Philadelphia Eagles - Barrett Carter (LB)

It's easy to see why the Philadelphia Eagles might covet a player with Barrett Carter’s abilities. Should Carter have another solid year at Clemson, his potential value in this segment of the first round is quite appealing for the Eagles. 

28. Cincinnati Bengals - Isaiah Bond (WR)

If Tee Higgins departs as a free agent next year like many expect, it wouldn't be surprising for the Cincinnati Bengals to draft another talented wide receiver. Isaiah Bond is ideally suited for this role out of Texas. 

29. Detroit Lions - Princely Umanmielen (DE)

Princely Umanmielen has been attracting considerable attention for some time. Even though his draft stock has dipped a bit as his draft year nears, the Lions decide to invest in his strong potential here. 

30. Baltimore Ravens - Tyler Booker (OL)

It's still early, but Tyler Booker and the Baltimore Ravens seem to be a great match. It wouldn't be surprising to see this pairing materialize on draft night, knowing very well that the Ravens love to build through the trenches. 

31. San Francisco 49ers - Ajani Cornelius (OL)

The San Francisco 49ers' offensive line is aging. In anticipation of potential roster changes, the 49ers decide to strengthen their core up front by drafting Ajani Cornelius.

32. Kansas City Chiefs - Anthony Belton (OL)

Closing out the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have several options. They choose to bolster their offensive line by picking one of the top OL prospects in the draft, Anthony Belton.
