Less than a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft, here is my third attempt at forecasting how the entire first round will play out in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Not only does this projection include three quarterbacks among the first 32 picks but also three running backs — with two ball-carriers among the top 10 selections! Meanwhile, some notable names — like Michigan CB Will Johnson and Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan — don’t come off the board until the 20s.
Enough preamble — let’s dive in!
The talented passer gives Brian Callahan the franchise quarterback needed to spark the Titans’ rebuild.
Kevin Stefanski has worked well with traditional pocket passers throughout his career. Sanders fits the bill as a classic dropback quarterback with a game built on touch, timing and anticipation.
The hardworking interior defender would give the Jaguars another pass-rushing option at the point of attack.
New Raiders head coach Pete Carroll wants to punish opponents with a physical running game sparked by a dynamic back.
Adding more speed and athleticism to the defense could help the Panthers close the gap in the NFC South.
Kellen Moore’s desire to fix the Saints’ offense might make upgrading the line a top priority. Campbell could play inside or outside on a unit that needs to keep Derek Carr upright in the pocket.
Ben Johnson’s immense success with a two-back rotation in Detroit could prompt Chicago to expend its top pick on a physical runner to partner with the dynamic D’Andre Swift.
Adding a versatile defender on the perimeter would enable reinstated DC Robert Saleh to get creative with his sub-packages in 2025.
The beefy interior blocker specializes in moving defenders off the ball in the run game.
The Dirty Birds have been searching for a consistent edge rusher since John Abraham departed over a decade ago. Green is a sack artist with the tools and talent to take over games.
The high-energy interior defender fits the Cardinals’ defensive culture as a worker bee at the point of attack.
As a five-position player with a high IQ and polished technique, Zabel’s perfect for a Seahawks front that needs upgrades across the board.
It is hard to find inside linebackers with pass-rush potential. Campbell is a splashy game wrecker with the tools to upgrade the Buccaneers’ defense as a designated playmaker.
Adding a running back is a top priority for an offense looking to support a young franchise QB in second-year pro Bo Nix. Henderson’s speed and explosiveness add a big-play dimension to a grind-it-out offense.
The blue-collar edge defender gives Baltimore’s pass-rush rotation another toolsy athlete to mold.
Brad Holmes’ master plan revolves around the trenches. Jackson is a Day 1 starter with the nasty attitude and physical game to fit in perfectly with the Lions’ dominant offensive line.
The massive run stuffer would add size and physicality to a defensive front that is loaded with pass rushers.
Finding Chris Jones a disruptive playmate would keep the Chiefs’ defense operating at a high level. Harmon’s athleticism and instincts could help him flourish in Steve Spagnuolo’s ultra-aggressive scheme.
The energetic sack master would be right at home in Philadelphia as a blue-collar playmaker with a relentless approach.
