2025 NFL mock draft: Predicting every team’s first-round pick before night one kicks off from Green Bay

This is it, my final mock draft. If there’s one phrase I’ve repeated over the last 12 months, it’s this: “Don’t overthink it.” If a player is good, trust that he is, you know, good. That said, at this point in the proceedings, I’ve likely overthought every single selection after Cam Ward to the Titans.

But here’s the good news: hours after reading this, the actual draft will be underway, all 257 picks will be made, and we’ll know exactly what teams thought about these players. I know we’ve heard that this class is weaker than previous ones, especially at the top. And while that is true, so is this: every team’s roster will be better three days from now. That’s what makes the draft so much fun — every one of those teams, all 32 of them, are currently undefeated, and every fanbase has something that will be in short supply come the fall: hope.

Alright, let’s get to it!
