With the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis approaching quickly, so much will change once prospects and team personnel arrive. The most intriguing storyline to track will be who will begin to engage in trade talks to move up to draft one of the few compelling quarterbacks. Let’s take a look at one NFL Draft scenario that could reshape the future of two franchises.
1) New York Giants (Traded From TEN)
Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Trade: The Tennessee Titans received the third overall pick from the New York Giants, as well as pick 34 in Round 2 and New York’s 2026 second-round selection.
The Giants coaching staff and front office are in desperation mode. They can’t miss out on the best quarterback prospect in the class. Someone will try to move up by draft night for Cam Ward, and in this case, it’s New York landing the gunslinger out of Miami.
2) Cleveland Browns
Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
A lot can change for Cleveland this offseason, but right now their cap and quarterback situation is a mess. If they ship off Myles Garrett, they’ll get a replacement in Abdul Carter who has a rare blend of power, speed, and burst.
3) Tennessee Titans (Trade From NYG)
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
After their trade back, the Titans land the rarest draft prospect we’ve ever seen. Hunter will likely play more cornerback than receiver in the NFL, but Tennessee effectively kills two birds with one stone with Hunter. His range, hip mobility, and instincts are that of a future All-Pro.
4) New England Patriots
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
The Patriots’ biggest priority this offseason is protecting Drake Maye. This early into the first round, they’re able to have the first pick of offensive linemen. Kelvin Banks Jr. is the best offensive tackle prospect in the class, with the power and athleticism to be a reliable starter in New England.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Jacksonville needs to draft the best player available to return to playoff contention. Mason Graham has the upside to not only being an elite run defender but also a productive pass rusher. His ability to be extremely disruptive on a snap-to-snap basis will place him into an elite category of NFL defensive linemen.
6) Las Vegas Raiders
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Raiders can’t continue to shuffle quarterbacks, they need steadiness with a high-floor prospect like Sheduer Sanders. The Colorado signal-caller is a cerebral decision-maker with pinpoint accuracy who will hit the ground running with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.
7) New York Jets
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Pairing Will Johnson with Sauce Gardner would create the best secondary in the NFL. Imagine two instinctual, physical corners playing opposite each other in Aaron Glenn’s defense. With an already gifted front seven, Johnson would be the final piece to establishing this Jets defense as the best in the AFC East.
8) Carolina Panthers
James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
James Pearce Jr. didn’t take the massive leap many anticipated this offseason, but he still has the bend and burst to become a highly productive pass rusher in the NFL. Carolina badly needs a premiere pass rusher since they shipped off Brian Burns.
9) New Orleans Saints
Will Campbell, OL, LSU
The Saints’ offensive line has been extremely inconsistent over the past few years despite heavy investment with first-round picks. Will Campbell presents a unique solution, being that he’ll likely be a fantastic guard, but he could remain at tackle if they choose to shuffle around bodies.
10) Chicago Bears
Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama
Caleb Williams needs far better protection than what he had in 2025. Tyler Booker is an incredibly stout pass protector with a very aggressive demeanor.
11) San Francisco 49ers
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
The 2024 season was extremely underwhelming for the standards of the 49ers’ success. In order to return to Super Bowls, they need to boost the talent of their defense. Kenneth Grant is an unreal athlete with a ginormous frame. He can clear up space and divert attention from Nick Bose and Fred Warner.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Ashton Jeanty becoming a Dallas Cowboy is consistently one of my favorite projected draft picks this cycle. Dallas was so bland and unexplosive offensively last year because they lacked weapons on offense. Jeanty is a home run threat who has the vision to explode behind a historically good offensive line.
13) Miami Dolphins
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Josh Simmons’ season was cut short, but the tape he put out at the start of the year was the best of any offensive lineman in the class. The Miami Dolphins are in need of better protection for Tua Tagovailoa, who has been injury-prone over the last few years. Simmons can plug in right away at left tackle.
14) Indianapolis Colts
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
We’ve seen plenty of highs and plenty of lows from Anthony Richardson early on in his career. In order to create more steadiness, he needs a loaded arsenal of weapons to turn to in any situation. Tyler Warren can be a very reliable target for Richardson and become one of the more productive tight ends in the NFL. His long speed and impact after the catch are very hard to come by in tight end prospects.
15) Atlanta Falcons
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Atlanta’s pass rush was abysmal over the last few seasons. They badly need production instead of banking on the upside of EDGE prospects like Mykel Williams and Shemar Stewart. Green was third in the FBS in sacks this season with 17.0 as a sophomore. His hand usage and flexibility will help that production translate to the NFL.
16) Arizona Cardinals
Armand Membou, OL, Missouri
Outside of Paris Johnson Jr., the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line lacks the talent needed to keep up with the dominant defenses in the NFC West. Armand Membou projects best as a guard in the NFL, displaying mobility and raw power to be a reliable player in the interior.
17) Cincinnati Bengals
Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
While Cincinnati needs to add to its interior defensive line, they need someone more disruptive than Sam Hubbard rushing opposite Trey Hendrickson. Mykel Williams was a highly productive run defender at Georgia thanks to his bend and brute strength. He has the athletic traits to develop into a disruptive pass rusher as well in the NFL.
18) Seattle Seahawks
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
It’s time for Mike Macdonald to start to shape this Seahawks defense in his image. By drafting Shemar Stewart, he can add one of the most freakishly athletic pass rushers in the class to his front seven. Stewart lacked sack production in college, but with the right defensive mind like Macdonald, his potential can be unlocked.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Tampa Bay registered the sixth most sacks with 46 last season but did it without a premiere pass rusher. Nic Scourton’s power and explosiveness would play off of Calijah Kancey’s shiftiness and speed in the interior extremely well. Scourton looks to be the next highly productive rusher since Shaq Barrett.
20) Denver Broncos
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Bo Nix showed so many positive signs in his rookie year that he can be a high-floor starter for the Broncos for a very long time. With their defense being the backbone of their success, it’s time to add weapons for Nix. Colston Loveland is a very dynamic tight end prospect with the long speed to separate over the top and the change of direction to frustrate linebackers over the middle.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers
Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Steelers figuring out what they’re doing at quarterback will significantly impact their drafting decisions. Assuming they move for a veteran QB, getting more receivers should be a top priority. Arthur Smith is creative enough as a play-caller to use a YAC dominator like Luther Burden III to his full advantage.
22) Los Angeles Chargers
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Ladd McConkey was electric in his rookie season, but Quentin Johnston hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he was supposed to develop into. With no ties to the current front office and coaching staff, finding his replacement could be an early focus for the Chargers. Tetairoa McMillan’s contested catch dominance combined with McConkey’s slot elusiveness would make for a quality receiving core.
23) Green Bay Packers
Shavon Revel Jr., CB, ECU
Shavon Revel Jr. is going to be one of the most undervalued prospects in this class because of an injury suffered early on in the 2024 season. His length and range are that of a future perennial Pro-Bowler. Pairing Revel with Jaire Alexander would create the best secondary in the NFC North.
24) Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
In this mock draft, Malaki Starks ends up being a casualty of other positions being prioritized early. Starks has the instincts and the coverage skills to be a top safety in the NFL. As we’ve seen recently with the likes of Kyle Hamilton, safeties aren’t effectively valued in the draft. The Vikings benefit greatly from this overthinking in this situation and shouldn’t hesitate to draft Starks if he slides this far.
25) Houston Texans
Jonah Savaiinaea, IOL, Arizona
C.J. Stroud’s second season in the NFL didn’t exactly live up to the hype, and the reasoning is very obvious. After giving up 54 sacks this year, it’s clear they need more help in the interior of their offensive line. Jonah Savaiinaea has the light feet and sturdy base to be a quality guard in the NFL.
26) Los Angeles Rams
Jahdae Barron, CB/S, Texas
Jahdae Barron was phenomenal this season for Texas on the outside. Due to a lack of overall length, Barron projects favorably as a nickel corner and safety because of his tackling ability, ball skills, and decision-making. The Rams’ young defensive core was exciting in 2024; adding Barron to the mix would take them to another level.
27) Baltimore Ravens
Jalon Walker, EDGE/LB, Georgia
If there was a player built to be a future Raven, it’s Jalon Walker. Walker’s role in the NFL is contingent on how defenses deploy him because of a lack of requisite length to be a full-time pass rusher and the lack of off-ball linebacker reps to be a full-time linebacker. Slotting him into a defense that has found sack production from unlikely sources is the perfect situation for him.
28) Detroit Lions
Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
The Lions need to find ways to divert attention away from Aidan Hutchinson. This late in the first round, they’ll miss out on drafting the top-tier pass rushers, so finding a behemoth 1-tech is the next best option. Williams is disruptive against the run and has the flexibility to become a productive interior pass rusher as well.
29) Washington Commanders
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
What better way to help out your young quarterback than adding another Ohio State receiver? Emeka Egbuka’s impact in the slot thanks to his route running and quick feet would be an ideal fit alongside Terry McLaurin.
30) Buffalo Bills
Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
It’s time for the Buffalo Bills to inject some youth and some speed into their linebacker unit. Jihaad Campbell was a missile for Alabama’s defense this year, flashing tremendous range and long speed for a linebacker of his size.
31) Kansas City Chiefs
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
The Super Bowl was extremely brutal to watch because the Chiefs could not protect Patrick Mahomes. Josh Connerly Jr. is a former five-star recruit who would pair nicely with their other former five-star tackle, Kingsley Suamataia.
32) Philadelphia Eagles
Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
Assuming Josh Sweat leaves in free agency, finding his replacement will be very easy in this class loaded with edge talent. Howie Roseman has built this roster through high-upside, athletic prospects. Princely Umanmielen is exactly that, playing with rare flexibility and burst.
Round 2
33) Cleveland Browns
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
It’s time for the Browns to search for a new lead back. Omarion Hampton possesses every quality that an NFL team seeks in a workhorse running back. His combination of power, physicality, and speed will make him one of the most productive rookie running backs in 2025.
34) Tennessee Titans (Traded From NYG)
Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
From their trade with the Giants earlier, the Titans are afforded the chance to double-dip early in the second round. Tennessee has gradually rebuilt its offensive line with blue-chip talent, but they need a significant upgrade at right tackle. Enter Aireontae Ersery who can start right away opposite JC Latham.
35) Tennessee Titans
Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Landon Jackson isn’t as exciting as other EDGE prospects in this class, but he would bring a fierce and powerful presence to their defensive line. Jackson anchors well against the run and can be a productive defender on early downs.
36) Jacksonville Jaguars
Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Despite Benjamin Morrison’s season being cut short, it shouldn’t take away from the fantastic play he put on tape to start the year. Morrison is one of the most fluid coverage players in the class, playing with fantastic instincts and acceleration to closely track receivers.
37) Las Vegas Raiders
Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
After finding the quarterback of their future, it’s time to find him targets outside of Brock Bowers. Matthew Golden is the most well-rounded receiver prospect in the class, displaying consistent hands, efficient route running, and impact after the catch.
38) New England Patriots
Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
Accumulating more receiving options for Drake Maye needs to be addressed this offseason. Jayden Higgins is a tall, long receiver prospect with unexpectedly high-level athleticism. His combination of route running and length could make him Maye’s No. 1 target as a rookie.
39) Chicago Bears
Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State
Are two offensive linemen this early in the draft for Chicago too much? Not if they want Caleb Williams to reach his potential. Grey Zabel is a mauling guard prospect with the power to shut down interior defensive linemen.
40) New Orleans Saints
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Walter Nolen is one of the most volatile prospects in the class, putting on tape some jaw-dropping highs and head-scratching lows. If the Saints can unlock that ceiling, he’ll be a dominant defensive tackle in the NFL.
41) Chicago Bears
DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
Are you noticing a trend for my Bears picks yet? Ben Johnson can hit the ground running in year one with a full offensive line rebuild and a thumping running back like DJ Giddens. Giddens has the vision, burst, and build to lead the Bears in rushing for many years to come.
42) New York Jets
Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue
The Jets’ offensive line has progressively improved over the last few years, and they can add another athletic prospect to the group with Marcus Mbow. Mbow’s frame and feet make him an option to either start inside at guard or outside at tackle once Tyron Smith calls it a career.
43) San Francisco 49ers
Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
The 49ers offensive line needs a facelift, and Donovan Jackson is exactly where they need to turn. This season Jackson saw snaps at tackle and guard, playing at a very high level at both in pass protection. If he improves as a run blocker he can be a standout starter.
44) Dallas Cowboys
Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
Darius Alexander has been a massive riser in this class since his amazing performance at the Senior Bowl. The Cowboys’ defensive line was extremely underwhelming, so they can’t pass up on adding an interior rusher with the upside of becoming the next Chris Jones.
45) Indianapolis Colts
Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon
Jordan Burch steadily improved in his time at Oregon, living up to the hype he once had as a recruit in his final season with the Ducks. He’d be a nice addition to play opposite Laiatu Latu.
46) Atlanta Falcons
Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami
Xavier Restrepo was a technician as a route runner this year for Miami, constantly getting open for Cam Ward to find him for huge chunk plays. His skillset in the slot is a missing piece for this Falcons receiving unit.
47) Arizona Cardinals
Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
Omarr Norman-Lott possesses an elite first step and has the hands to be a productive pass rusher from the interior. Defensive-minded Jonathan Gannon needs to find more stud athletes like Norman-Lott to boost his defense.
48) Miami Dolphins
Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
Since losing Christian Wilkins, the Dolphins have yet to replace him with an impactful, young starter. Alfred Collins is a premiere run defender with the raw power to draw the attention of multiple blockers and split double teams.
49) Cincinnati Bengals
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Landing Nick Emmanwori this late in the draft would be a massive steal. The South Carolina safety flies all over the field with the frame of a linebacker. Cincinnati’s secondary needs a playmaker like Emmanwori to create turnovers and blow up unsuspecting receivers.
50) Seattle Seahawks
Seth McLaughlin, C, Ohio State
Seth McLaughlin was off to a hot start before he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury before the Indiana game. His instincts and feet make him the best center prospect in this class. Nabbing your starting center in the second round is exactly what Seattle needs to do to be more dangerous on offense.
51) Denver Broncos
Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
Denver is bringing the whole Oregon gang back together. Tez Johnson rejoining Troy Franklin and Bo Nix is a dream scenario to help take the Broncos offense to the next level. While Johnson may be undersized, he has the speed to stress defenses like Tank Dell.
52) Pittsburgh Steelers
Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Assuming the Steelers take a swing on a veteran starter, they’ll need to find a young prospect in the class as a contingency plan. Jaxson Dart has the athleticism and poise to at the very least be a high-quality backup for a very long time. If he pans out, he could be the leader of a roster led by a stout defense like Bo Nix has already done.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
We’ve got yet another insanely athletic South Carolina prospect on the board with Demetrius Knight Jr. The Bucs have needed a replacement for Devin White, and Knight can bring ridiculous sideline-to-sideline speed to their defense.
54) Green Bay Packers
JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
JT Tuimoloau is one of the best run-defending EDGE defenders in this class. The former 5-star recruit uses his length and power to extend, then shed blockers to make plays at the line of scrimmage. Adding more high-floor prospects to the Packers’ defense will help them accomplish winning more playoff games.
55) Los Angeles Chargers
Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
Jim Harbaugh built multiple successful teams at the college and pro level through running the football. Kaleb Johnson has the profile of a 1,000-yard rusher if leaned on effectively in this offense. His vision, size, and burst make him an ideal fit to take pressure off Justin Herbert.
56) Buffalo Bills
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Derrick Harmon shouldn’t be able to move as well as he can at his size. While Harmon isn’t the type of defensive tackle to be highly productive, his mass is perfect for freeing up other key defenders like Ed Oliver, Matt Milano, and AJ Epenesa.
57) Houston Texans
Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
The inconsistent health of Tank Dell should spark urgency in the Texans’ front office to find a strong tertiary option for CJ Stroud. Jalen Royals is a shifty route runner who can thrive in the slot with his quick feet and consistent hands.
58) Carolina Panthers
T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina
If the Panthers come away with James Pearce Jr. and TJ Sanders, they’ll be primed for a massive defensive jump in 2025. Sanders is a long defensive tackle prospect with a lightning-quick get-off and active hands as a pass rusher.
59) Baltimore Ravens
Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
Cameron Williams is one of the best athletes at offensive tackle in this class. With light feet and great flexibility, he has the tools to eventually become a high-quality starter in the NFL. However, his rawness and inconsistency likely require him to sit to develop. Thankfully the Ravens have multiple veterans they can rely on before letting him contribute at tackle or guard.
60) Detroit Lions
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
In this draft, the Lions can heavily bolster their defensive line by taking Tyleik Williams and adding a secondary pass rusher in Donovan Ezeiruaku. As one of the most productive pass rushers in college football last season with 16.5 sacks, he’s shown active hands and great use of leverage to win reps.
61) Washington Commanders
Chase Lundt, OT, UConn
Chase Lundt will likely be a riser after the NFL Combine because of the athletic tools he plays with. His mobility and flexibility are ideal for his development into a starting tackle for Washington.
62) Buffalo Bills
Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Last year Buffalo passed on the chance to draft a speedy Texas receiver who went on to be a key piece to the Chiefs’ success. This time around, they can take a swing on Isaiah Bond who has an equally high ceiling. Bond struggled down the stretch with concentration drops, but his elite speed is worth taking the risk on his upside.
63) Kansas City Chiefs
Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
Xavier Worthy had a quality rookie season, but it became clear that the Chiefs needed additional reliable pass catchers. Eric Ayomanor has the hands to make difficult catches look easy, and the route running to get open consistently on the boundary.
64) Philadelphia Eagles
Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
With Azareye’h Thomas, the Eagles can find a younger option to play opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Thomas is a long, physical corner that will win often in press-man situations.
Round 3
65) New York Giants
Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
Listed at 6’4” and 200 lbs, Darien Porter has unreal length for a defensive back prospect. The mobility he plays with at his size sets him up to be a starting cornerback for the Giants early in his career.
66) Kansas City Chiefs
Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
This selection should be nightmare fuel for the NFL. Travis Kelce isn’t the athlete he once was, and Kansas City needs to start looking now for their future at tight end. Elijah Arroyo is a fluid athlete with the long speed to stress defenses up the middle and over the top.
67) Cleveland Browns
Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Maxwell Hairston has the length and hip flexibility needed to start on the outside at cornerback. Cleveland could use a new option in the mix for their secondary.
68) Las Vegas Raiders
Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
As one of the stickiest corners in the class, Cobee Bryant is an underrated prospect this far into the third round. His coverage ability and mentality are exactly what Pete Carroll has coveted in backs in his coaching career.
69) New England Patriots
Charles Grant, OL, William & Mary
Selecting one of the highest-ceiling offensive line prospects at this spot in the draft is exactly how the Patriots return to glory. Grant’s length, light feet, and rare flexibility set him up to develop into a high-level starting guard or tackle.
70) Jacksonville Jaguars
Emery Jones Jr., IOL, LSU
Emery Jones Jr. didn’t have the season that many hoped he would, but he’s still a mauling presence that the Jaguars need on their offensive line.
71) New Orleans Saints
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
If Derek Carr is given one more shot this season, New Orleans should seek out their future quarterback with the cheapest route possible. Jalen Milroe is a very gifted athlete and has a very high ceiling as a prospect. If develops as a decision-maker for a few years, he could eventually be Kellen Moore’s Jalen Hurts.
72) Chicago Bears
Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
Kyle Kennard was one the most productive sack-getters in the SEC, racking up 11.5 on the year. That kind of production is what the Bears need to reignite their defense.
73) Las Vegas Raiders
TreyVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
This season at Ohio State, Chip Kelly created a surplus of splash plays with TreVeyon Henderson. Now he can recapture that spark by drafting him early in the third round.
74) Carolina Panthers
Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Trey Amos has the requisite length to be a quality starting cornerback in the league. His ability to disrupt the catch point will be an asset for the Panthers secondary.
75) San Francisco 49ers
Jared Ivey, DT/EDGE, Ole Miss
Jared Ivey has the motor needed to play a very long time in the NFL. His impact against the run and ability to play multiple roles provides a ton of value for the 49ers with this pick.
76) Dallas Cowboys
Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
A key theme for this draft class for Dallas is adding as much firepower on offense as possible. The Cowboys need a prospect with Jaylin Noel’s quick feet and route-running ability. Waiting any longer than the third round would be too late to draft an impactful receiver.
77) New England Patriots
Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
While the Patriots have Rhamodre Stevenson, looking for another young option to turn to should be a focus in this draft. Devin Neal has fantastic vision and patience, along with the agility to make defenders miss in the hole.
78) Arizona Cardinals
Tate Ratledge, IOL, Georgia
Tate Ratledge had the makings of a first-rounder guard heading into the 2024 season. After a shaky year disrupted by injury, we didn’t get to see him take the step that many hoped he would. He still has a strong lower body, a powerful leg drive, and the frame to start in the NFL.
79) Washington Commanders
Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
The Commanders appear to be a likely candidate to add a big-name pass rusher through free agency or the trade market. They’ll still need to add more athleticism to their defensive line. Bradyn Stinson has the bend and burst needed to develop into a disruptive starter.
80) Indianapolis Colts
Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
Xavier Watts was insanely productive throughout his career at forcing turnovers. Indianapolis needs a ball-hawking threat roaming over the top of their defense.
81) Cincinnati Bengals
Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia
The Bengals’ hopes of returning to the Super Bowl will require better offensive line play than what they had in 2024. Wyatt Millum has a powerful upper body and can slot in at either guard or tackle.
82) Seattle Seahawks
Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
Ole Miss’s most under-talked-about defensive player this season was Chris Paul Jr. On every play, you can find Paul Jr. near the football, as he flies all over the field. His size and speed are perfect for becoming a quality WLB in the league.
83) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
Tre Harris was on a ridiculous production pace before his season was impacted by injuries. Depending on what plays out with Chris Godwin, Tre Harris can slide into his role in the future.
84) Denver Broncos
Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State
We were deprived of the momentous rise of Kevin Winston Jr.’s stock because of a season-ending injury. Winston Jr. has a blend of size and speed to become a tight eraser in defense.
85) Pittsburgh Steelers
Sebastian Castro, DB, Iowa
Sebastian Castro’s ability to tackle and instincts make him an impactful defensive back in the slot. Mike Tomlin’s defenses have always featured high-motor and high-IQ playmakers like Castro.
86) Los Angeles Chargers
Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
Jim Harbaugh is yet to find the right tight end to be featured in his offense for the Chargers. Gunnar Helm’s ability to block and run intermediate routes can set him up to be a reliable target for Justin Herbert.
87) Green Bay Packers
Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland
Kaden Prather is another prospect flying under the radar in this class. His size, speed, and fluidity were too much for many cornerbacks to keep up with. He could emerge as a top target in the Packers loaded receiver room.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars
Jared Wilson, IOL, Georgia
In his only season as the starting center for Georgia, Jared Wilson shined in the middle of an inconsistent offensive line. The Jaguars should move to find a prospect like Wilson to anchor their offensive line.
89) Houston Texans
Deone Walker, DL, Kentucky
Deone Walker is a freakish athlete for a 6’6” 340 lb defensive tackle. Due to poor pad level and flexibility, Walker struggled at times throughout the 2024 season. If the Texans can unlock the potential of Walker, they could have a very disruptive interior rusher.
90) Los Angeles Rams
Savion Williams, WR, TCU
Savion Williams is an enormous receiver prospect, listed at 6’5” 225 lbs. His length and athleticism are the right fit for a productive replacement for Cooper Kupp.
91) Baltimore Ravens
Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
The Ravens appear to have found a future star on the outside in Nate Wiggins in the last draft. In the third round of this draft, they can select a contributor in the slot who is built to be a high-floor starter in Quincy Riley.
92) New York Jets
Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
Will Howard capped off his career at Ohio State with a string of high-level performances, enough to earn him an opportunity to start in the NFL. His accuracy, anticipation, and pocket awareness are good enough to eventually become a starter in the NFL.
93) New Orleans Saints
Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
Tai Felton quietly was one of the most productive receivers in college football, racking up 96 receptions and 1,124 yards in 2024. Felton’s performance could translate to a Saints offense that needs new playmakers.
94) Cleveland Browns
Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
It’s unclear if Quinn Ewers will ever live up to the hype he once had as a recruit. His explosive arm and gunslinger mentality are that of a starter, which is why the Browns could take a swing in this spot on his potential. If he’s not worth investing in, they can always turn to the loaded 2026 QB class.
95) Kansas City Chiefs
Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Isaiah Pacheco’s health was shaky this season, so finding a new running mate would be a smart move in this draft. Quinshon Judkins has the same aggressive, downhill mentality as Pacheco and could eventually become the lead back in Kansas City.
96) Philadelphia Eagles
Jack Bech, WR, TCU
One of the biggest risers from the Senior Bowl was the game MVP Jack Bech, who flashed being a reliable target with secure hands. Jahan Dotson wasn’t exactly exciting for the Eagles when they acquired him this preseason. Starting over with a new third option in the offense is the smartest decision.
97) Minnesota Vikings
Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
Jamaree Caldwell is built like a house at 340 lbs and was an important space eater for Oregon this season. Having big bodies like Caldwell is important for NFL run defenses, and the Vikings can snag a potential starter or rotational run defender.
98) Miami Dolphins
Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
Latham Ramson’s frame and tackling ability are exactly what the NFL is looking for in safeties they can keep on the field at all times. Depending on how the Dolphins operate in free agency, Ransom could immediately step into their defensive backfield.
99) San Francisco 49ers
Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
The tackle class for 2025 really starts to fall off at the start of the fourth round. Thankfully, with Anthony Belton, the 49ers could land a starter in Anthony Belton who is a bully in the run game and fluid in the pass game.
100) Los Angeles Rams
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
Sean McVay has always found creative ways to deploy mismatch playmakers, just like Harold Fannin Jr. His long speed enabled him to take over the MAC in 2024, and he could become a useful piece in the Rams’ offense.
101) Detroit Lions
Dylan Fairchild, IOL, Georgia
Detroit’s identity under Dan Campbell has been mauling offensive linemen opening up rushing lanes for their elite duo or running backs. Dylan Fairchild is likely not an immediate starter, but at the very least could contribute early as a sixth offensive lineman.
Round 4
102) Tennessee Titans
Ricky White IV, WR UNLV
103) Cleveland Browns
Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
104) New York Giants
Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
105) New England Patriots
Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
106) Jacksonville Jaguars
Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
107) Las Vegas Raiders
Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland
108) Buffalo Bills
Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
109) New York Jets
Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
110) Carolina Panthers
Aeneas Peebles, DT, Virginia Tech
111) New Orleans Saints
Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
112) San Francisco 49ers
Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
113) Carolina Panthers
Ajani Cornelius, IOL, Oregon
114) Arizona Cardinals
David Walker, EDGE, Central Arkansas
115) Miami Dolphins
Jalen Rivers, OT, Iowa State
116) Indianapolis Colts
Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
117) Atlanta Falcons
Joshua Farmer, DL, Florida State
118) Cincinnati Bengals
Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
119) Tennessee Titans
Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
