The 2025 NFL draft is rapidly approaching, and teams will soon have to decide how exactly to use their first-round selections.
No team can fully make that decision until the Tennessee Titans' plans with the No. 1 overall pick are confirmed. Head coach Brian Callahan said at the NFL's annual league meeting that the team was about two weeks away from knowing who they would choose, so soon enough, fans would have a better idea about how the beginning of the draft would go.
But until that happens, each team will have several options worth considering with their first-round picks. As such, NFL fans will want to familiarize themselves with the most realistic targets their teams might take aim at in 2025.
With that in mind, here's a full first-round mock draft with options for who the team will pick, could pick and a dark horse for every selection.
2025 NFL mock draft: 3 options for every pick
1. Tennessee Titans
- Will pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
- Could pick: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
- Dark horse: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
It's looking more and more likely that Ward will be the Titans' selection at No. 1 overall. The fit is sensible, as Will Levis, Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle currently comprise the squad's uninspiring quarterback room.
If Tennessee eschews the quarterback position, it would likely target Carter or Hunter, who are considered the best players in this year's draft class. Carter has been tied more frequently to the Titans than Hunter and would give the team a tremendous outside pass-rushing threat to go with Jeffrey Simmons.
2. Cleveland Browns
- Will pick: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
- Could pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
- Dark horse: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Browns still need a quarterback, but they may target one on Day 2 instead of spending the No. 2 pick on Sanders. Carter would give the team an elite pass-rushing partner for Myles Garrett and fill a bigger need than Hunter, so the Penn State product gets the nod here.
3. New York Giants
- Will pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
- Could pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
- Dark horse: Mason Graham, DT, ...
