The Sun-Times’ final mock draft of 2025:
1. Titans — Miami QB Cam Ward
Ward has been the surefire No. 1 pick for the last two months.
2. Browns — Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter
He wants to play both positions and the Browns aren’t deep enough at either spot to say no.
3. Giants — Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter
The Giants try to find their own Micah Parsons.
4. Patriots — LSU OT Will Campbell
For all the arguments about the length of Campbell’s arms, there’s no disputing his tape.
5. Jaguars — Michigan DT Mason Graham
The Jaguars’ new brain trust could eye Jeanty here, but Graham might be the safest pick in the draft.
6. Raiders — Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty
Coach Pete Carroll and coordinator Chip Kelly value the run game more than most.
7. Jets — Missouri OT Armand Membou
The Jets take a Round 1 tackle for the second-straight season.
8. Panthers — Georgia LB Jalon Walker
The Panthers might be tempted by a receiver here.
9. Saints — Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams
This is too early for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, even with Derek Carr’s shoulder injury.
10. Bears — Penn State TE Tyler Warren
The multi-faceted Warren, who ran for 218 yards and threw six times last year, is perfect for mad scientist Ben Johnson.
11. 49ers — Texas T Kelvin Banks Jr.
The Bears will think long and hard about Banks. The 49ers will be glad they passed.
12. Cowboys — North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton
No way Jerry Jones does something boring here.
13. Dolphins — Michigan CB Will Johnson
They want to trade cornerback Jalen Ramsey this weekend. They’ll draft his replacement.
14. Colts — Michigan TE Colston Loveland
Loveland is more receiver than blocker — and becomes the best Colts tight end since Dallas Clark.
15. Falcons — Marshall EDGE Mike Green
The Falcons have been looking for an edge rusher for a decade.
16. Cardinals — Texas CB Jahdae Barron
The Cardinals could go receiver or pass rusher here, too.
17. Bengals — Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart
With or without all-world edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, their line needs help.
18. Seahawks — Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan
The Seahawks get to to work replacing the departed D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
19. Buccaneers — Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen
They’ll go with a defense player, be it on the line or backfield.
20. Broncos — Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson
One of the league’s most nondescript running back rooms (Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime) gets help.
21. Steelers — Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders
Sanders is flawed — but still a better bet than 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers or 36-year-old Kirk Cousins.
22. Chargers — Texas WR Matthew Golden
The Bolts need playmakers.
23. Packers — Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka
He’s polished and contribute from Day 1.
24. Vikings — North Dakota State G Grey Zabel
A South Dakota-born player named Grey just has to go to Minnesota, right?
25. Texans — Ohio State OT Josh Simmons
He could go higher if teams are comfortable with his left knee post-surgery.
26. Rams — Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell
He’s recovering from surgery to fix a torn shoulder.
27. Ravens — Georgia S Malaki Starks
They have only three safeties on their roster.
28. Lions — Alabama OG Tyler Booker
Building the line has become the Lions’ way.
29. Commanders — Missouri WR Luther Burden III
At East St. Louis High, he was once the top recruit in Illinois.
30. Bills — Michigan DT Kenneth Grant
They haven’t drafted a defensive tackle since 2018.
31. Chiefs — Oregon OT Josh Conerly
The Super Bowl gave a blueprint on how to beat the Chiefs. They need more line help.
32. Eagles — Oregon DT Derrick Harmon
The league’s best D-line gets better.
