NFL mock draft 2025: AI predicts the entire first round

Show Caption

Artificial intelligence is the latest modern technological craze in 2025. But how well can it predict something like the results of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

Paste BN Sports tested the mettle of four different AI chatbots – Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, Grok and ChatGPT – by tasking each with making a mock draft prediction for Round 1 of this year's draft. Human writers were on hand for each chatbot's attempt to ensure that each pick was a plausible one – attempts to select a non-draft eligible player or a player drafted in previous years were corrected.

Each pick also featured some justification from the AI, and our writers picked apart the chatbots' analysis in each story.

Here's how the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft could go, according to four of the most popular AI programs in 2025:
