2025 NFL Draft Mock Draft 1.0: Titans make surprise selection at No. 1

The Serby Mock 1.0 — no trades — gets John Mara his quarterback and Aaron Glenn a weapon for whomever his quarterback will be.

Mock 2.0 will include the Eagles and Chiefs in the appropriate order following Super Bowl 2025.

In the meantime, 1-30:

1. Titans

Cam Ward, QB, Miami, Fla.

Will Levis is famous for putting mayonnaise in his coffee. It hasn’t helped him play quarterback (21 TDs, 16 INTs) the past two seasons. New GM Mike Borgonzi could entertain a trade, but take the playmaker quarterback if you have a conviction in him. Coach Brian Callahan: “He’s incredibly talented.” Smokescreen? Could be, of course.

2. Browns

Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Coach Prime might like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but Archie Manning convinces him that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. An elite weapon or shutdown corner, or both with a bridge QB on his way.

3. Giants

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

In case you haven’t heard, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are desperate. Don’t expect Jayden Daniels, but his arm is good enough, and the spotlight won’t faze him. Malik Nabers can play catch with him on any given Manhattan street.

4. Patriots

Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

New coach Mike Vrabel needs a LT and WR for Drake Maye, but he inherits the league’s worst pass rush (28 sacks). Carter is Micah Parsons Lite to hound Josh Allen.

5. Jaguars

Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

New coach Liam Coen will help Trevor Lawrence, so an enforcer joins Arik Armstead to help Josh Himes-Allen and Travon Walker upgrade the 31st-ranked defense.

6. Raiders

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

A 6-foot-2, 205-pound corner to combat Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix. Tom Brady and GM John Spytek are Michigan men. Just sayin’.

7. Jets

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

A 6-5, 212-pound Drake London comp who would complement Garrett Wilson for whomever lines up behind center.

8. Panthers

Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia

GM Dan Morgan needs a replacement for Brian Burns, and here’s one with a 4.0 GPA from North Carolina.

9. Saints

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Alvin Kamara will be 30 in training camp. So many needs, so best-player-available following the success of Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry.

10. Bears

Will Campbell, OL, LSU.

New coach Ben Johnson won’t succeed if Caleb Williams endures 68 sacks again.

11. 49ers, Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas

An heir apparent for LT Trent Williams, who turns 37 in July.

12. Cowboys

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

A dominant run-stuffer that new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will need to defend Barkley. And Osa Odighizuwa is a free agent.

13. Dolphins

Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

A plug-and-play starter for the woeful interior O-line to open holes for electric De’Von Achane and protect Tua Tagovailoa.

14. Colts

Malaki Starks

(S, Georgia)

New defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo lands an elite playmaker to pair with Nick Cross.

15. Falcons

Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

Second worst in sacks (31), so a long-armed 6-5, 265-pounder and stout run-defender will excite new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.

16. Cardinals

James Pierce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

Coach Jonathan Gannon needs more heat in the desert on quarterbacks, and this 6-5, 243-pounder fits the bill.

17. Bengals

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

A 6-6, 260-pound target for Joe Burrow to replace either TE Mike Gesicki or WR Tee Higgins.

18. Seahawks

Armand Membou, OL, Missouri

A 6-4, 320-pounder who can step right in at either guard position to help RBs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.

19. Buccaneers

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Todd Bowles is aware that free agent Lavonte David just turned 35.

20. Broncos

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

A 6-5, 245-pound toy for Sean Payton and weapon for Bo Nix. Keeps him away from Jim Harbaugh as well.

21. Steelers

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

No. 1 wide receiver George Pickens isn’t optimistic about the offense, and president Art Rooney II isn’t optimistic that Pickens will be a Steeler after 2025.

22. Chargers

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter has to worry about Mahomes, and corners Asante Samuel Jr. and Kristian Fulton are free agents.

23. Packers

Mike Green, Edge, Marshall

Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley needs this 6-4, 250-pounder to juice the pass rush.

24. Vikings

Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

With more than $70 million in salary-cap space to use on an interior offensive lineman, defensive coordinator Brian Flores can use an interior pass rusher alongside Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel.

25. Texans

Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Even if they bring back free agent WR Stefon Diggs, he’s 31 and WR Tank Dell’s gruesome leg injury has his future uncertain.

26. Rams

Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

A season-ending knee injury drops him to where Sean McVay pounces, with RT Rob Havenstein entering his age-33 season opposite LT Alaric Jackson.

27. Ravens

Josh Conerly, OT, Oregon

LT Ronnie Stanley turns 31 in March and is a free agent. Lamar Jackson and King Henry can’t do it by themselves.

28. Lions

Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M

Coach Dan Campbell loses defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn but adds a 6-6, 285-pound bookend for Aidan Hutchinson.

29. Commanders

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

An elusive, 5-11, 205-pound contested-catch, YAC playmaker to take the burden off Terry McLaurin for Daniels.

30. Bills

Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

An interior disruptor to pair with Ed Oliver with Austin Johnson a free agent.
