Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are just days away from the start of the NFL Draft. That means it's time for the next edition of the OutKick NFL Mock Draft! Obviously, much has changed since we put out our first mock draft in late January. Let's dive in… Nothing has changed from my first mock draft with the #1 overall pick. When you look around the league, one thing is clear: teams need a good quarterback.

The Titans haven't had one in a while, so they have to take a shot here. Clearly, Ward is the top option this year. The Browns could use a quarterback following the Deshaun Watson debacle, but my sense is that they're not in love with any of the options after Ward. While people might scream "trade down!," teams have to find a willing partner. If no one likes the quarterbacks, then it's going to be hard to get a huge return for this pick. I think they will stay here and take the two-way threat in Hunter.

In OutKick's second mock draft of the 2025 NFL Draft season, the Browns select Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter. The Giants are in a similar position as the Browns, and they are likely to also go with the "Best Player Available" route, rather than force it with a quarterback they don't love. Carter fits the bill as a potential game-wrecker at the NFL level, and you can never have too many great pass rushers in the modern NFL. We are at the end of college football’s regular season, which coincides with the unofficial start of the stretch run for the NFL season: Thanksgiving Day games. Right now, we have a pretty good idea of who the best teams are in the league, and can start to predict with a little bit of certainty what needs teams will have as... As such, it’s time for us to roll out the second version of our mock draft for next April — you can check out how things played out the last time we did this...

As for how this one is going to go, well, how about a team trading up for Shedeur Sanders to get us started? If it’s not evident by the fact that they benched then cut Daniel Jones midseason and are currently starting Tommy DeVito when he’s healthy, the Giants really want a high pick and really need... While he doesn’t have the strongest arm on earth, Sanders is an excellent processor of the game and can throw the ball accurately all over the place. He’s gotten better about getting the ball out and not hunting big plays that lead to sacks — Colorado’s OL taking a step forward helps, of course — and while the Giants don’t have... Add in that he has the sort of big personality that can handle New York and the Giants could theoretically hire his father if they fire Brian Daboll and Sanders checks a ton of... The Jaguars move down a spot, pick up some extra picks for their trouble, and get the best football player in this Draft — and in fact, if you were to look up “football...

Hunter is doing things we’ve never really seen playing both ways at an elite level in college, and while it’s possible he eventually has to choose a primary position in the NFL – I... Also, if his goal is to play both sides in the NFL, the Jags are a team that needs help at both spots, so they’d likely be thrilled to let him give it a... Ward’s rise from a QB at Incarnate Word to a Heisman contender for the College Football Playoff-bound Miami Hurricanes really has been impressive. He’s a dynamic thrower of the ball with good mobility and has gotten better and better over the course of his career. He’ll take some sacks and put the ball in danger a little more than I’d like, but that’s an area where he’s grown during his time with the Canes. The Raiders need a lot of help in a lot of different places, but above all else, their top priority this April should be getting a franchise quarterback they can build around.

Ward would provide that. NFL free agency is almost in the rearview mirror, with just a few notable names left on the market. Given all the moves throughout the last few weeks, let's revisit our NFL mock draft for 2025. Prospect projections are also on the move with the NFL Combine, pro days, and more movement written in the books. Specifically, we're looking at some serious risers like Armand Membou, fallers like Luther Burden, and one more high-profile player.

[metabet_core_side_odds_tile query="fbp/nfl_draft_pick_1" size="100%x300" site_id="thelines"] The 2025 NFL Draft is getting closer, so let's crack open another mock draft here. What shocks you about this latest mock? Are you tired of seeing mock drafts yet? Now less than three weeks away from the real thing, NFL teams across the league are surely beginning to finalize their big boards ahead of April 24th. The neat thing about the first round, currently, is that all 32 teams are slated to pick.

I bet that changes a bit, but right now, every single team in the NFL has a first-round pick. Given that the top-end talent in this draft isn't all that great, we could see some teams wheeling and dealing their picks. Cam Ward is probably going first overall to the Tennessee Titans. Say what you want about Ward, but this is how NFL teams sustain success for the long-term - they find someone who they think can be the guy and simply draft him, regardless of... The Titans are probably high enough on Ward, and with their additions along the offensive line this offseason, the young QB could be set up for some success. Given how weak the AFC South is, Cam Ward and the Titans might have a quicker path to success than we think.

Travis Hunter is easily the best athlete in the 2025 NFL Draft and might also be the best player in the draft. Many have mocked Abdul Carter to the Browns with this pick, but Hunter can legitimately play two positions and would fill multiple needs for the Browns. Much of the dust has settled from NFL free agency and teams now have a clearer picture of what they need in the 2025 NFL Draft. Teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets have addressed their quarterback situations with new acquisitions while the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers continue trying to figure out if their answer... With needs clarified and the draft class further evaluated, our NFL beat writers and staff convened for their second first-round mock draft playing the roles of GM for every team in the league. Most of the draft order stayed the same but a couple of deals shook up the end of the round.

The results certainly differ from our beat mock draft in February. Here’s how it all shook out. The transition is complete, from suggestions early in the offseason that the Titans were looking to bail out of this spot and pick up much-needed draft capital — or take Travis Hunter or Abdul... The veteran market may have something to do with that. The lack of urgency of potential trade partners may have something to do with it. But the Titans clearly grew enamored with Ward as they got to know him during the process and listened to him talk through film that is both exciting and a bit too risky at...

This organization successfully drafted one franchise quarterback high in the draft: Steve McNair in 1995. Ward follows Vince Young, Jake Locker and Marcus Mariota in the list of attempts over 30 years since then. — Joe Rexrode The Browns still have many good players on their roster, but they lack any standout area of real strength. This pick changes that as pairing Carter with the newly extended Myles Garrett creates one of the league’s scariest pass-rush groups. With no quarterback worthy of being taken with the No.

2 pick and no real trade offer materializing here, the Browns decide to wait until the second round — or maybe later in the first via trade — to add a young passer. Instead, they choose to add a young standout to an aging roster and believe that the pass rush can become a game-changing force, now and for years to come. — Zac Jackson Unable to work out a trade with the Titans for the first pick, the Giants pivot to Plan … who can even keep track of how deep they are into their plan at quarterback... The Giants have Tommy DeVito as the only quarterback on the roster. That underscores the desperation of the situation, even though they’ll surely add a veteran starter before the draft.

Still, general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll need to sell a future at QB to ownership as they’re on the hot seat entering their fourth season. There are plenty of skeptics about Sanders’ potential to be the type of franchise-altering addition Jayden Daniels was last year for the Commanders. But this regime needs to take a swing at QB, so it takes a big one on Sanders. — Dan Duggan Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are just one week away from the start of the NFL Draft. That means it's time for the next edition of the OutKick NFL Mock Draft!
