2025 NFL mock draft: Expert projections for every Round 1 pick

Show Caption

A few weeks remain in the 2024 NFL season, and the league's playoff picture is as tight as ever. So too, however, is the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

The New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders are battling over the season's final few weeks for the No. 1 overall selection. The race is close, and their advantage figures to seesaw as the season continues.

The Giants and Raiders need quarterbacks, so many presume Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward will draw interest with those top two selections. Still, players like Travis Hunter, Mykel Williams, Abdul Carter and Tetairoa McMillan could all draw consideration, especially if teams decide they aren't all that into the 2025 quarterback class.

The 2025 draft figures to be unpredictable, given that few blue-chip players are atop the draft. It may be more of a pick-your-flavor draft, with teams focusing on solid depth in the trenches throughout the first round.

How will the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft shake out? Here's a look at what NFL draft experts at Paste BN Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports and CBS Sports are predicting for the first round.
