With the NFL season over and the Philadelphia Eagles crowned NFL champions, the 2025 draft is quickly approaching. Here’s how each team may draft in the top 10 this year.
1. Tennessee Titans
The Titans desperately need a quarterback, and the best quarterback in this year’s draft class is Cameron “Cam” Ward from the Miami Hurricanes. Thirty-nine touchdowns to only seven interceptions, he is incredible, also throwing 4,313 yards in only 13 games. He is absolutely the No. 1 pick in the draft this year.
2. Cleveland Browns
This is the first time since 2021 the Browns have had a first-round pick, and they have an amazing opportunity to draft Big Ten Defensive Player of the year and All-American Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter. They recently traded for quarterback Kenny Pickett. This is their chance to build a fierce defense with linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and defensive end Miles Garrett. Carter will be a great fit for the defense.
3. New York Giants
The Giants have struggled in the quarterback position ever since Eli Manning left and they started Daniel “Dimes” Jones. This is their chance to mend that situation and draft an NFL legend’s son. Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, son of Deion Sanders, is the agreed second-best quarterback in the draft, throwing 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in his time at Colorado, and with an NFL cornerback for a father, that could give him a leg up against other quarterbacks in the draft.
4. New England Patriots
The Patriots’ choice will likely be one to protect young quarterback Drake Maye. To do this, the Patriots should draft Will Campbell for their offensive line. This beast of a human only allowed five sacks in three years at LSU, and three of them were as a freshman. He is a proven protector for quarterbacks.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jags needed to address their O-line and D-line; they attempted to address their O-line in free agency, so in the 2025 draft they could draft two-time all-American DT Mason Graham. He stacked up nine sacks, 56 QB pressures and 122 total tackles over his three years with the Michigan Wolverines. This would be a huge addition to help with the interior D-line.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders have needed a QB since Derrek Carr left for the Saints, but at this point in the draft there is likely not a QB, so they will likely aim to grab a young wide receiver for their QB to throw to. Tetairoa McMillan was an Arizona Wildcat receiver and racked up 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns on 84 receptions in his last college season, and had multiple 100+ yard games. The addition of his skills would be a great weapon to throw to.
7. New York Jets
The Jets should draft Heisman-winning cornerback Travis Hunter. This pick would be very effective for the Jets as they’ve needed depth at the corner position. Hunter racked up four interceptions last season with Colorado and 35 total tackles. If teamed up with Sauce Gardner, the duo could rack up double digit interceptions together.
8. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers need someone to help address the issue of pass defense getting assaulted through the air last season. Adding Michigan CB Will Johnson would be an amazing addition to pair with CB Jaycee Horn and help solve this issue. It wouldn’t solve all their problems on defense but it’s a good step in the right direction.
9. The New Orleans Saints
The Saints need help with their pass rush and the best rusher in the draft right now is James Pearce, Jr of the Tennessee Volunteers. He racked up 19 sacks in his three-year career in Tennessee and 70 total tackles along with three forced fumbles. This would really help the pass rush and pair great with 36-year-old veteran linebacker Demario Davis. As a field general who doesn’t rush the quarterback that well, it would be helpful having a young rookie outside linebacker like Pearce.
10. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears have a great offensive line after free agency, a young developing quarterback in Caleb Williams, and good wide receivers. What’s missing is a reliable running back, and generational talent is available this year in Ashton Jeanty. The Heisman finalist racked up 2,601 rushing yards this season with Boise State. He was 27 yards away from the NCAA single-season rushing yard record set by Barry Sanders in 1988. Along with 29 rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown, Jeanty would be an amazing pick for the Bears and take their offense from alright to elite.
