2025 NFL Mock Draft: How many QBs go in 1st round?

The NFL regular season is officially in the books, meaning over half of the first-round draft order is now locked in. What better time for another look ahead to April?

Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Shedeur Sanders may end up as the consensus QB1 in this draft, but Deion Sanders said he won't let his son go to a bad organization. It's fair to assume the Titans are on that list. Tennessee can pivot and take a swing on Ward, the other top passer in the class.

Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Receiver, cornerback, or both? It might not matter. Hunter is the most talented player in this year's draft. Colorado's two-way star would be an impact player no matter where Cleveland lines him up.

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

The Giants aren't much better off than the Titans, but Sanders gave a nod to Big Blue with his cleats ahead of a recent bowl game and appeared to suggest he's open to New York. Getting to play with a rare talent like Malik Nabers certainly makes it an attractive destination.

Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Upgrading the offensive line is a must for the Patriots as they look to support their young quarterback. Campbell has a great case as the best in the class.

Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Whoever ends up coaching the Jaguars is sure to identify the offensive line as a major issue. Simmons could be the long-term starter on Trevor Lawrence's blindside.

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

There's no need for the Raiders to force anything in such a weak quarterback class. Drafting an elite cornerback out of Michigan worked out for the organization before.

Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

Like the Raiders, the Jets can't reach for a quarterback here. Adding Graham alongside Quinnen Williams would give New York an incredible interior defensive line tandem.

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Building around Bryce Young is the key to this offseason in Carolina. McMillan is a big-bodied target who profiles as a true No. 1 receiver after an outstanding career at Arizona.

Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

The Saints need help everywhere, and the most valuable positions on the field are always a good place to start. Carter would provide some much-needed explosiveness in the pass-rush department.

Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

A disastrous offensive line was a big factor in a disappointing rookie season for Caleb Williams. The Bears can't afford to have that happen again. Banks could be one of several significant investments.

James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

The 49ers have more pressing needs, but adding another high-level edge rusher opposite Nick Bosa would be an easy way to help the defense bounce back. Pearce is an explosive talent who can feast on one-on-one opportunities.

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

This is going to be a popular connection throughout draft season, and for good reason. Jerry Jones wants star playmakers, and that's exactly what he'd get in the Heisman Trophy runner-up.

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Tyreek Hill seems to be on the way out in Miami. Burden is a logical replacement as an explosive receiver who can make things happen after the catch.

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

The Colts were rumored to be sniffing around trade-up options for Brock Bowers last year. Tight end remains a glaring need, and Warren provides a similar ceiling in terms of playmaking ability.

Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Pass rush is an obvious need in Atlanta. Fortunately for the Falcons, this class has plenty of options. Walker has played both on an off the ball at Georgia, but he'll make his greatest impact getting after the quarterback.

Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

The Cardinals' defense needs all the help it can get up front. Scourton is a three-down force who has the frame and skill set to contribute both from the edge and on the interior in sub packages.

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Starks should be long gone by this point, but safeties tend to slip due to position value. The Bengals would be happy with such an outcome, as the Georgia star could be a key piece to rebuilding the back end of the defense.

Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

The Seahawks' offense was held back by some consistently poor offensive line play. Whether it's at tackle, on the interior, or both, that group must be addressed early in the draft.

Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Houston needs a major overhaul on the interior offensive line. Adding a steady force like Booker would be a strong first step in helping C.J. Stroud's development get back in track.

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

A playmaking tight end could push Sean Payton's offense over the top. Loveland's advanced receiver skills would immediately make him a high-volume target for Bo Nix.

Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Williams might need some time to develop his game, but the physical gifts are undeniable. The Bucs would be thrilled with a potential No. 1 pass-rusher this late in the first round.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

The Steelers' offense can't afford to be so dependent on George Pickens. Egbuka's route-running skills would be a nice complement to Pittsburgh's contested-catch star.

Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Sean McVay and Les Snead deserve high praise for knocking the last two drafts out of the park. Upgrading their secondary with a polished corner like Morrison is the next step in continuing that run.

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Some second-half issues from the Packers' defense highlighted the need for reinforcements in the secondary. Barron has been a key piece for one of the best defenses in college football.

Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

A second-year breakout from Quentin Johnston may keep the Chargers from chasing a receiver. But it shouldn't. Harris joining Johnston and stud rookie Ladd McConkey would round out a nice group of weapons for Justin Herbert.

Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

Building around Jayden Daniels is the primary focus for the Commanders. Bond is an incredible athlete who could help take Washington's passing attack to another level.

Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

An already stout Ravens defense becomes all the more frightening with an improved pass-rush. Umanmielen could be a long-term running mate for Odafe Oweh.

Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Hampton could be the final piece to the puzzle for a Vikings offense that quickly joined the NFL's elite. The UNC product should be a Day 1 star as a do-it-all back.

Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss

The Bills could stand to bolster the interior defensive front. Adding a three-down star like Nolen alongside Ed Oliver would quickly make that spot a strength.

Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Green's athleticism and pass-rush arsenal is going to make him a favorite among draft analysts. Howie Roseman has a thing for making picks exactly as the internet would, and the Eagles have a glaring need on the edge.

Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

The Chiefs have to get their left tackle situation figured out. Ersery is a worthy swing late in the first round.

Cameron Williams, OL, Texas

Detroit should be focused on solidifying the future of the offensive line. Williams could transition to guard and eventually step in for one of the veterans.
