2025 NFL Mock Draft Prospect Roundups
Throughout the year and leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, we will update our NFL mock draft roundup for many of the top prospects.
Abdul Carter 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Carter has appeared:
No. 2 overall — Cleveland Browns
Trading for Kenny Pickett means the Browns could focus on taking the best player available at No. 2 before picking up another quarterback later in the draft. The extension of Myles Garrett does not mean Cleveland will pass on Carter, whose elite talent on the edge would only make the perennial All-Pro better.
No. 2 overall — Cleveland Browns
I don't know how good the Browns will be next season -- probably not very -- but combining Abdul Carter with Myles Garrett would guarantee the losses won't be on the defense. If Ward goes first, it wouldn't shock me to see Cleveland move down, either. It'll receive plenty of calls for Carter or possibly Shedeur Sanders.
No. 7 overall — New York Jets
The Jets would be flying to the podium if this scenario were to unfold. Carter is the No. 2 overall player on my big board and has real game-wrecking potential as a pass rusher. He would inject some real juice into a front and unit that tapered off in 2024.

Ashton Jeanty 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Jeanty has appeared:
No. 6 overall — Las Vegas Raiders
It's no secret new Raiders head coach Pete Carroll wants to run the ball. Jeanty will likely pound the rock 20-25 times a game without hesitation, running through contact and exploding for big gains in the open field.
No. 12 overall — Dallas Cowboys
I've received plenty of angry messages for what I wrote about Ashton Jeanty in my last mock, and I apologize to everybody for not assuming he'll be the greatest player we've ever seen. The Cowboys take him hoping the man who has received some comps to Emmitt Smith be their next Emmitt Smith.
No. 6 overall — Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders had one of the worst rushing attacks in recent memory last season, needing a clear boost of talent at running back. Jeanty would be an immediate upgrade with the ability to be a long-term solution at the position as well. With Geno Smith in the fold at quarterback for the next few seasons, a running back becomes a more defensible pick this high, and Jeanty's talent shouldn't be questioned.

Colston Loveland 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Loveland has appeared:
No. 14 overall — Indianapolis Colts
In terms of play style, Loveland is more comparable to 2024 first-round pick Brock Bowers than Tyler Warren. The Michigan product missed a chunk of last season with a shoulder injury, but the Colts could see a weapon who can win with size, quickness and savviness against defensive backs and linebackers.
No. 26 overall — Los Angeles Rams
Colston Loveland isn't a Cooper Kupp replacement, but he is a tight end who could do some of the things Kupp used to do for the Rams offense.
No. 26 overall — Los Angeles Rams
Cooper Kupp is out, but the bigger-bodied Loveland can handle a lot of the same responsibilities as a big body from the slot. Loveland isn't a great blocker like a lot of traditional tight ends, but he has the speed and receiving skills to be a clean fit for Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford.

James Pearce Jr. 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Pearce has appeared:
No. 17 overall — Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have poured a ton of money into their offense, which means they're going to be overly reliable on young, cheap options on defense. Enter James Pearce Jr., who could serve as a secondary pass-rusher alongside Trey Hendrickson, or serve as his replacement.
No. 29 overall — Washington Commanders
The Commanders have been using the trade market to add to their offense, so they look to the draft to help bolster their defense. Pearce is all about speed and joins a team, defense and head coach that loves to emphasize it.
The Athletic — Beat Writers Mock
No. 29 overall — Washington Commanders
This is the position Washington needs most and the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year recorded 17.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles-for-loss over his final two seasons with the Vols. Washington GM Adam Peters values linemen with fast 10-yard splits and the sleek, 6-5 edge defender's 1.56 led all defensive ends at the combine. The rub: Character concern rumors seemingly hurt Pearce's draft stock and the 245-pounder needs more bulk to help bolster outside run lanes for the Commanders' 30th-ranked rushing defense. Trade-down attempts to replenish draft pick inventory failed. DE Nic Scourton is likely better for team chemistry and all-around fit, cornerback is another need area, and RB TreVeyon Henderson would be a blast paired with Jayden Daniels. Washington instead goes for the upside that's been lacking at the vital position since trading Montez Sweat and Chase Young at the 2023 trade deadline. — Ben Standig

Kelvin Banks Jr. 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Banks has appeared:
No. 13 overall — Arizona Cardinals
PROJECTED TRADE WITH MIAMI DOLPHINS
The Cardinals ensure they beat the Colts to a premier offensive line prospect, moving up three slots in Round 1 by swapping their third-round pick for Miami's late fourth-round selection. Arizona traded up for a versatile lineman in Paris Johnson Jr. two years ago, and Banks could play inside or outside as a rookie. (He could also move to tackle in 2026 if Jonah Williams departs as a free agent.)

No. 24 overall — Minnesota Vikings
I know people who have Kelvin Banks Jr. as their top OT in the class, and I know some who wouldn't take him in the first round. I'm much closer to the former camp than the latter, and while Minnesota's done some work to address the interior of their OL, I don't think upgrading at tackle too would be a mistake.
No. 28 overall — Detroit Lions
When you don't have many needs, take a lineman. Banks could immediately compete for a starting spot at right guard and eventually kick out to left tackle later in his career. This offense is built on elite line play, might as well keep the pipeline going.

Walter Nolen 2025 NFL Mock Draft Roundup
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Nolen has appeared:
No. 26 overall — Philadelphia Eagles
PROJECTED TRADE WITH LOS ANGELES RAMS
Why change something that works? Philadelphia moves up in Round 1 for a defensive lineman once again -- after doing so to acquire Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis -- plugging Nolen into the void left by free-agent departure Milton Williams. The Eagles give the Rams their late third-round pick and one of four fifth-rounders in order to move up six spots, while also receiving a sixth-round pick from Los Angeles in the deal.

No. 16 overall — Arizona Cardinals
I've been pounding the table for Walter Nolen throughout this entire process, and will continue to do so. He's my DT2 in the class behind Graham, and he's my No. 9 overall player, so the Cardinals getting him here is a great pick in my eyes. Good job by me.
No. 13 overall — Miami Dolphins
The injury to Tua Tagovailoa was obviously the biggest factor in Miami's disappointing 8-9 season, but don't overlook the loss of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to the Raiders in free agency last offseason. The Dolphins could see similar attributes in Nolen, whose burst and agility make him the No. 1 DT on many teams' boards.
