NFL mock draft tracker: A dozen expert predictions for every team in 2025 draft


Another day, another NFL mock draft. Sometimes it's another five or 10. If your team doesn't pick in the top four or five of April's NFL draft, the player your team might pick can vary widely – especially this year.

That's where the charts, below, for all 32 teams and their potential first-round picks offer some clarity.

We've collected three mock drafts from Paste BN, NFL.com, ESPN and Pro Football Focus, or PFF. That includes drafts published just days after the regular season, Super Bowl 59 and the NFL Combine. We chose drafts involving few, if any, trades to keep the picks as similar as possible.

A dozen mock drafts below still represent drop in the bucket in the sea of mock drafts, but their collective insights point to the players who might fill pressing roles for each team.

2025 NFL draft order

A handful of players dominate the top of the draft board. The farther down the board you go, you learn more about the positions these draft experts predict teams will try to upgrade.

Top draft prospects in the 2025 NFL draft

Unlike the 2024 draft class, there's no consensus No. 1 pick this year, but a few trends stand out from the mock draft predictions so far:

Cam Ward: The majority of mock drafts have the Miami (Florida) quarterback as the first pick of the 2025 draft, but one PFF draft dropped Ward as low as No. 6 to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Travis Hunter: The Heisman Trophy winner, who might play cornerback and wide receiver in the NFL, hasn't been lower than fourth. Most have him going to the Cleveland Browns with the second pick.

Abdul Carter: A third of the mock drafts represented below have the Tennessee Titans using the first pick of the draft to select the Penn State edge rusher and Big Ten defensive player of the year.

The biggest needs for each of the teams below are based on an NFL.com analysis published just after the Super Bowl. Players heights and weights are those recorded at the NFL Combine.
