7 round nfl mock draft dane brugler predicts all 257 picks

The Athletic has live coverage of NFL Draft Rounds 4-7. Follow along with our picks tracker, best available and The Beast. For my second-to-last mock draft of the 2024 NFL Draft process (my final mock will go up the morning of Round 1), I’m taking a stab at all 257 picks across all seven rounds. Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team’s needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on... At the bottom of the article, I included the team-by-team hauls for a cleaner look at what each class looks like in this mock draft. (Note: An asterisk indicates a trade for the purposes of this mock.)

We're down to nearly one week until the 2025 NFL draft begins April 24 from Green Bay, Wisconsin. That Thursday night will begin three days of madness as 32 NFL teams make 257 total picks to shape the next crop of professional talent. The first few picks of Round 1 have become clear over the last few months of the NFL draft process. Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter are expected to go in the first three selections in some order. After that, things can be pretty wide open and fans of all 32 teams are meticulously combing through the latest mock drafts to get some clues as to what their favorite franchise will do... On April 16, one of the most respected evaluators in NFL draft coverage, The Athletic's Dane Brugler, released a seven-round mock draft of all 257 picks.

It's a lot to get through so here are some takeaways from his latest predictions: Click here to read Brugler's full 257-pick mock draft. It's already been a strong offseason for the Los Angeles Rams, who re-signed some of their top free agents and brought in the likes of Davante Adams and Poona Ford. Their work in free agency has allowed them to go into the 2025 NFL Draft without the need to reach for a specific position, opening the door for a variety of prospects to be... The Athletic's Dane Brugler released his latest 7-round mock draft, making every pick from No. 1 to 257.

Along the way, he made eight selections for the Rams, beginning at No. 26 overall. He went with a logical pick in Round 1 by taking an offensive tackle, but there were other playmakers still on the board who also would've fit well with the Rams. Here's our breakdown of each pick by Brugler for the Rams in this complete seven-round mock. This is a very sensible pick for the Rams. Conerly won't move the needle for some people because he's an offensive lineman who probably won't play as a rookie, but he'd give the Rams a viable successor at right tackle behind Rob Havenstein,...

Conerly can play tackle or guard, which is something the Rams have often valued in an offensive lineman. Here's what Brugler wrote about the selection. After I finish up “The Beast,” my attention shifts to a complete seven-round mock draft. It’s a time-exhaustive task, but I also see it as a helpful thought exercise to focus on team needs, draft trends and fits for all 32 organizations. Scroll to the bottom for team-by-team draft hauls to better see how each team did in this scenario. (Editor’s note: An asterisk designates a compensatory draft pick.)

It became clear at the combine that Ward would be the No. 1 pick. The only question: Would the Titans trade out or stick and pick themselves? Over the last month, it’s become apparent that Tennessee plans to stay in the top spot and hand Ward the keys to its franchise. The Browns are desperate to get the quarterback position right, although I don’t expect them to force the pick. With the best player in the draft still available, it makes sense that the choice here would be Hunter, who could provide a spark on offense (and defense).

The Athletic's Dane Brugler often releases the most comprehensive draft guide every year. This year, his 'The Beast' prospect guide covers more than 500 NFL Draft prospects. Brugler has now followed up its release with a complete seven-round mock draft covering all 257 picks. Brugler's mock draft unsurprisingly starts with the Tennessee Titans taking Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward at No. 1 overall. 🚨7-round mock draft...all 257 picks.- Five QBs go top-40- Chicago has an All-Big Ten draft- Cowboys make immediate upgrades on offensehttps://t.co/CgwCn2UoDW

"It became clear at the combine that Ward would be the No. 1 pick," Brugler writes. "The only question: Would the Titans trade out or stick and pick themselves? Over the last month, it’s become apparent that Tennessee plans to stay in the top spot and hand Ward the keys to its franchise." In the second round, Brugler has the Titans taking Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III. Burden is a first-round talent with questionable character, according to various reports.

The Titans recently hosted Burden on a pre-draft visit. Hopefully they got to the bottom of the character questions.
