In my 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0, I’ve made some shifts, as the draft order and player evaluations have changed. In this iteration, I’m digging deeper, mocking the 2nd Round as well. The draft order is current through Week 12 games. In mock drafts, I focus more on team fits than player evaluations. Also, I will not have trades in this mock. Without further ado, this mock is a look at how the first two rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft might unfold.
No. 1 | Jacksonville Jaguars Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Travis Hunter | WR | CB | Colorado | 6’1” | 185 lbs.
Many people will scream at the Jaguars to trade back, but what if nobody wants to pay up? The last general manager who went all-in to trade up and select a quarterback is currently unemployed. If no trade partner steps up, I think the Jaguars will take Travis Hunter, the two-way superstar.
Hunter has remained adamant that he can play both ways in the NFL—it’s all he knows. The Jaguars could certainly use the help on both sides of the ball. In my opinion, he’s the best cornerback in the draft, and that position should be his main priority, if he has to have one. To save his longterm health and wellness, Jacksonville may look to form a package of plays for Hunter offensively. Regardless, this draft selection would re-energize the Jacksonville Jaguar fanbase.
Jaguars Mock 1.0 Selection | Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
No. 2 | New York Giants Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Cam Ward | QB | Miami | 6’2” | 223 lbs.
The New York Giants have to select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. After cutting Daniel Jones, the Giants have a major hole at the most important position. To fix that, they select Cam Ward, who has emerged as my top quarterback in the 2025 draft class.
Ward is a genius for his decision to transfer to Miami instead of declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. Many analysts thought Ward would be a 3rd or 4th round pick in last year’s draft, but instead, he is a 1st Round lock in 2025. In watching Ward’s tape, I have been impressed with his arm strength, his many arm angles, his off platform throws, and his deep ball accuracy. As the Miami Hurricanes continue to win, Cam Ward will continue to have plenty of opportunities down the stretch to cement himself as the best quarterback in the draft.
Giants Mock 1.0 Selection | Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
No. 3 | Las Vegas Raiders Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Shedeur Sanders | QB | Colorado | 6’2” | 215 lbs.
The Las Vegas Raiders have many holes, but I think it’s imperative to the owner—and fanbase—that they select a quarterback in 2025. After getting sniped on Michael Penix Jr. in 2024, the Raiders may not be this patient to sit back and wait at pick No. 3. They benefit in this mock draft from nobody paying up to jump ahead and select a starting quarterback. Instead, they are able to select Shedeur Sanders as their next starter.
NFL scouts search for many of the QB traits that Sanders possesses—accuracy, creativity, and anticipation. Shedeur Sanders is in the midst of a heated QB1 battle with Cam Ward. I fear his lack of high-end arm strength may cause him to be drafted as QB2. It, however, will not stop Sanders from being a starting quarterback in the NFL for the foreseeable future. Shedeur Sanders should love this landing spot and would rely heavily on elite, young tight end Brock Bowers, as the Raiders add more and more weapons around him.
Raiders Mock 1.0 Selection | Will Campbell, OT, LSU
No. 4 | New England Patriots Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Tetairoa McMillan | WR | Arizona | 6’5” | 212 lbs.
The New England Patriots selected Drake Maye in 2024, and he looks the part of their franchise QB for the next decade or more. Now, they need to make his life easier, starting with a revamped receiver room. In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, they get their new X receiver in Tetairoa McMillan.
McMillan is over 1,000 yards receiving for the second-straight season. At 6’5”, McMillan would provide a huge target for Drake Maye. I’ve been most impressed with McMillan’s catch radius. Typical 50/50 balls are seemingly 90/10 for McMillan. Drake Maye would love throwing the ball to Tetairoa McMillan, and I can foresee many touchdowns from this connection in the future.
Patriots Mock 1.0 Selection | Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
No. 5 | Carolina Panthers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Will Johnson | CB | Michigan | 6’2” | 202 lbs.
Cornerback may not be the biggest need for the Carolina Panthers, but at this point in the rebuild, they have to focus on the best player available and stock up as much talent as possible. Also, the defense is allowing 226.7 passing yards per game, which is 24th in the league. This number is especially concerning when you consider how infrequently the Panthers have been leading games. Moreover, the Carolina Panthers are 29th in the league in passing touchdowns allowed with 1.9 per game. Jaycee Horn has proven himself as an elite cornerback, but the Panthers need help on the other side of the field.
Will Johnson is currently dealing with a foot injury, but this won’t hurt his draft stock. He has refused to shut it down for the 2024 season despite the Michigan Wolverines’ struggles—a testament to his character and commitment. Will Johnson is a stud who has two pick-6’s on the season, even though quarterbacks rarely throw to his half of the field. The Panthers would form one of the best young cornerback duos in the league with Will Johnson and Jaycee Horn guarding receivers.
Panthers Mock 1.0 Selection | Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
No. 6 | Tennessee Titans Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Will Campbell | OT | Louisiana State | 6’6” | 323 lbs.
The Tennessee Titans have given up 3.7 sacks per game, which is 30th in the league. They need to improve their pass protection, which starts from within. JC Latham has shown flashes of potential, but a move back to his natural position of right tackle would benefit him. Latham thrived on the right side in 2022 and 2023 for the Alabama Crimson Tide. This shift would free up the starting left tackle job for Will Campbell.
Will Campbell has been a rock for the LSU Tigers’ offensive line. Since his true freshman season, Campbell has started every single game at left tackle, providing three years of elite blindside protection. In my opinion, Campbell is the best offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL Draft. Some analysts think that Campbell is best fit as an interior lineman at the next level, which could be a plan B, if he struggles. Will Campbell has dominated SEC edge rushers for three seasons as an offensive tackle, and I believe that will be his home in the NFL.
Titans Mock 1.0 Selection | Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
No. 7 | New York Jets Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Abdul Carter | EDGE | Penn State | 6’3” | 259 lbs.
The New York Jets franchise is in flux. They will be searching for a new GM and coach in the offseason. They may be looking for a new quarterback as well, if Aaron Rodgers leaves to another team or to an indefinite darkness retreat (retirement). However, as long as Aaron Rodgers is the starter, the Jets are going to look to add win-now pieces. They certainly do that with this selection by drafting Adbul Carter, an athletic edge rusher from Penn State.
Abdul Carter started slow but has shown much promise in his transition from a linebacker to an edge rusher this season. Despite a loss, Abdul Carter had one of his best games against the Ohio State Buckeyes, racking up two sacks. Carter’s athleticism is going to turn eyes at the combine, locking in his status as a top-10 pick.
Jets Mock 1.0 Selection | Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
No. 8 | Cleveland Browns Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Jalen Milroe | QB | Alabama | 6’2” | 225 lbs.
The Cleveland Browns need to move on from Deshaun Watson in 2025, despite counting $72.9 million against the cap in 2025 and 2026. The best way to combat this financially is to add a quarterback on a cheap rookie contract. The Browns may be interested in moving up to select one, but after not having their 1st Round selection the last three seasons, they may want to hold onto their future 1st Round picks. This mindset lands them in a spot to select Jalen Milroe with the 8th overall selection.
I have an early 2nd Round grade on Jalen Milroe, but between his upside and the demand for quarterbacks, Milroe could easily declare and end up as a top-10 pick in 2025. Jalen Milroe has the athleticism to wow scouts at the combine and his pro day. Milroe also has the advantage of being a two-year starter. Despite a poor performance against Oklahoma, Jalen Milroe has put flashes of excellence on tape in 2024, and he has improved a good bit this season, showing more confidence in his arm. Milroe is in a tier of his own as my QB3 at the moment. The Cleveland Browns swing for upside with this selection.
Browns Mock 1.0 Selection | Cam Ward, QB, Miami
No. 9 | New Orleans Saints Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
James Pearce Jr. | EDGE | Tennessee | 6’5” | 243 lbs.
The New Orleans Saints snag the best available edge rusher to replace future Hall-of-Famer Cam Jordan. I would be extremely surprised if Jordan doesn’t retire following what is now his 14th season in the NFL. His snap count has taken a huge step back this year, likely due to age and endurance, as he is now 35 years old. The Saints need a replacement and find one in James Pearce Jr.
Pearce Jr. was my No. 1 player coming into the year, and my main concern is his low snap counts. Scouts came into the year with questions about Pearce’s ability to stop the run, and those questions haven’t been answered, mainly due to him being on the sideline against the run. He is able to get off blocks and help stop the run, but we haven’t seen it enough. He has showcased an elite ability of effecting the quarterbacking, with 7.5 sacks on the season despite an alarming number of uncalled holds. James Pearce Jr. is still firmly entrenched as a top-10 pick in my eyes.
Saints Mock 1.0 Selection | James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
No. 10 | Cincinnati Bengals Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Mason Graham | DT | Michigan | 6’3” | 320 lbs.
The Cincinnati Bengals need to improve their defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft, and that starts from the interior. Without D.J. Reader, the Bengals’ defensive line has taken a step back, allowing 129.8 rushing yards per game (21st) and sacking the quarterback only 1.7 times per game (30th). They select the best defensive lineman available in Mason Graham.
Graham won’t wow anyone who only looks at stats. Defensive tackles face so many double teams on the interior, especially one of Graham’s quality. Graham was a big contributor for the Michigan Wolverines’ championship team last year, and he has continued to cause mayhem in the backfield. Mason Graham would create pressure from the interior and free up edge rushers to have one-on-one matchups on the exterior. This draft pick would pay dividends for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Bengals Mock 1.0 Selection | Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
No. 11 | Dallas Cowboys Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Kelvin Banks Jr. | OT | Texas | 6’4” | 320 lbs.
The Dallas Cowboys utilize the down year by adding one of the best offensive tackles in the draft. While many predict the Dallas Cowboys will add Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, I think the depth of the running back class will allow them to address other needs in the first round. Kelvin Banks Jr. would plug and play as the starting left tackle. This addition would allow the Cowboys to move Tyler Guyton back to his natural right tackle spot to compete with RT Terence Steele.
Cowboys Mock 1.0 Selection | Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
No. 12 | Chicago Bears Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Mykel Williams | EDGE | Georgia | 6’5” | 265 lbs.
The Chicago Bears are a talented team that ultimately just need time to develop and gel. They need to boost their defensive line in the offseason, and Mykel Williams is a great start. Williams has the versatility and size to kick inside for a few snaps, but he performs best on the edge where he makes quarterbacks’ lives miserable. Georgia still has plenty of important games left, so we’ll get to see Mykel Williams match up against some of the best offensive tackles in college football.
Bears Mock 1.0 Selection | Emery Jones Jr, OT, LSU
No. 13 | Indianapolis Colts Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Derrick Harmon | DT | Oregon | 6’5” | 310 lbs.
The Indianapolis Colts rank 27th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game with 142.6 yards. They need a game wrecker on the interior of the defensive line alongside DeForest Buckner. Derrick Harmon transferred from Michigan State to Oregon in the offseason and has become the best defensive player on the best team in the country. Harmon lives in opposing backfields causing pressure and changing plans, even when he doesn’t add to his stat sheet.
Colts Mock 1.0 Selection | Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
No. 14 | Miami Dolphins Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Kenneth Grant | DT | Michigan | 6’3” | 339 lbs.
The Miami Dolphins defensive line needs to get healthy and needs to improve. That offseason goal starts with drafting a new nose tackle, Kenneth Grant, to anchor the middle of their 3-4 defense. Kenneth Grant went viral for a play where he chased down Penn State running back, Kaytron Allen. This play exemplifies Grant’s relentless effort on every snap. He’s a bowling ball that will eat double teams at the next level. The Dolphins would love to add him to their squad.
Dolphins Mock 1.0 Selection | Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
No. 15 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Luther Burden III | WR | Missouri | 5’11” | 208 lbs.
Chris Godwin is a free agent, and Mike Evans isn’t getting any younger. The Buccaneers need another weapon, and Burden fits the bill. Luther Burden III has had a down year, but he has put explosion, elusiveness, and elite hands on tape. Burden is the type of receiver who offensive coordinators want to get the ball in space as often as possible. Burden won’t fall farther than mid-1st Round, and Baker Mayfield will love slinging him the rock.
Buccaneers Mock 1.0 Selection | Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
No. 16 | Los Angeles Rams Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Emeka Egbuka | WR | Ohio State | 6’1” | 205 lbs.
Rumors circulated surrounding Cooper Kupp’s potential departure leading up to the trade deadline. Obviously, a deal was not struck, but his future as a Ram remains uncertain. The Los Angeles Rams could target Emeka Egbuka as a replacement. If you are looking for a diva wide receiver who will scream in his QB and OC’s face when he doesn’t get enough targets, Egbuka is not the guy for you. Emeka Egbuka is already a pro’s pro. He’s a hard worker who will be in the NFL for a decade plus. Egbuka is a crafty receiver who creates separation in abundance. He is going to shine in the interview process and cause many teams to fall in love with his attitude.
Rams Mock 1.0 Selection | Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
No. 17 | San Francisco 49ers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Malaki Starks | S | Georgia | 6’1” | 205 lbs.
The 49ers benefit from the lack of value that the league gives the safety position by adding an absolute weapon on the backend. Similar to Brian Branch, Kyle Hamilton, and Derwin James—Malaki Starks falls farther than he should, but the 49ers don’t mind. Starks is a blue-chip prospect and by far the best safety in the draft. Adding him to the 49ers defense is terrifying for the rest of the league.
49ers Mock 1.0 Selection | Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
No. 18 | Arizona Cardinals Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Deone Walker | DT | Kentucky | 6’6” | 345 lbs.
The Arizona Cardinals have to make upgrades on their defensive line this offseason, and they start here with the interior. Deone Walker is one of my favorite players in the draft. He has the ability to completely take over the game at times. Despite dealing with many double teams, Walker can still get into the backfield and cause havoc. The Cardinals would love to add a defensive tackle with his ability.
Cardinals Mock 1.0 Selection | Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
No. 19 | Atlanta Falcons Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Nic Scourton | EDGE | Texas A&M | 6’4” | 285 lbs.
The Falcons have to get better at rushing the passer, ranking dead last in the league with 0.9 sacks per game. Scourton is the best edge rusher available, who would be a huge addition to the Falcons’ defensive line. Nic Scourton stops the run, sets the edge, and rushes the quarterback well. He may not be the best edge rusher at any one category, but he is the most well-rounded defensive end in the draft. He would start Day 1 for the Atlanta Falcons.
Falcons Mock 1.0 Selection | Princely Umanmielen, Edge, Ole Miss
No. 20 | Seattle Seahawks Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Cameron Williams | OT | Texas | 6’5” | 335 lbs.
The Seattle Seahawks offensive line has given up 3.4 sacks a game, which ranks 28th in the league. They need an upgrade at right tackle, and they select the best one available. Cameron Williams is still raw, but he has the length, size, and movement skills to develop into an elite offensive tackle. Williams would immediately start on the opposite side of Charles Cross, hoping to form one of the best young tackle duos in the NFL.
Seahawks Mock 1.0 Selection | Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
No. 21 | Washington Commanders Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Ashton Jeanty | RB | Boise State | 5’9” | 215 lbs.
The Commanders draft the best player available regardless of position. Jeanty may go much earlier than this, but the depth of this running back class and the perceived lack of value of the position could drop him into this range. Ashton Jeanty is more than just a running back; he is a weapon that can impact the running and passing game. The Commanders would put pressure on the discipline of defenses, having to account for Jayden Daniels’ legs and a running back of Jeanty’s caliber. Washington would love for Ashton Jeanty to fall to them.
Commanders Mock 1.0 Selection | Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State
No. 22 | Houston Texans Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Wyatt Milum | IOL | West Virginia | 6’6” | 317 lbs.
CJ Stroud is going through a sophomore slump, which can be partly attributed to the lack of health in his receiver room. The offensive line has negatively contributed, as Stroud has been sacked 3.3 times per game (27th in the league). The offensive line needs to improve, starting with the interior. Milum has played left tackle at West Virginia, but many scouts believe his future in the NFL is as an elite guard. He can offer some depth at tackle, but Milum would start at left guard immediately.
Texans Mock 1.0 Selection | Jonah Savaiinaea, IOL, Arizona
No. 23 | Denver Broncos Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Tyler Warren | TE | Penn State | 6’6” | 257 lbs.
The Denver Broncos believe in Bo Nix, who has certainly shown flashes of greatness during his rookie year. They need to make this draft all about making his life easier. Young quarterbacks love leaning on tight ends as their safety nets, and the Broncos just don’t have that this year. Tyler Warren has risen to the TE1 spot with a ridiculous season. He has showcased elite versatility as a strong blocker and a pass catcher. I’ve been impressed with Warren’s run after the catch ability, converting into a bulldozer with the ball in his hands. This pick would be a perfect fit for the Broncos.
Broncos Mock 1.0 Selection | Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
No. 24 | Los Angeles Chargers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Colston Loveland | TE | Michigan | 6’5 | 245 lbs.
Justin Herbert needs weapons, and Colston Loveland is one with whom Jim Harbaugh is extremely familiar. Although Loveland has had a down year with injury issues and downgraded quarterback play, he was leaned on heavily by J.J. McCarthy during Harbaugh’s time as head coach of the championship Michigan team. Loveland showcases excellent athleticism for the position. Colston Loveland would be a reliable target for Justin Herbert, and Coach Harbaugh would be very comfortable utilizing his run blocking skills as well.
Chargers Mock 1.0 Selection | Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
No. 25 | Baltimore Ravens Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Benjamin Morrison | CB | Notre Dame | 6’0” | 190 lbs.
The Ravens secondary is allowing a whopping 284.5 passing yards per game, which is the worst in the league. One contributing factor is that the Ravens have had a lot of leads this year, causing many teams to pass the ball; however, their secondary hasn’t been good enough. A hip injury ended Benjamin Morrison’s season. I’m making this pick under the assumption that he will be back in time for the pre-draft process. If his surgery is going to cause him to miss the combine and miss training camp, Morrison may return for his senior year. If he is healthy, and the Ravens make this pick, Morrison would be a Day 1 starter at outside corner for them.
Ravens Mock 1.0 Selection | Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
No. 26 | Pittsburgh Steelers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Tre Harris | WR | Ole Miss | 6’3” | 210 lbs.
The Steelers have a massive need at wide receiver on the opposite side of George Pickens. Here, they take the best remaining receiver, Tre Harris. He has size and speed, and he has produced at a high level against talented SEC defenses. Facing teams’ second-best corner, Tre Harris will have many opportunities to be the next great Steelers wide receiver.
Steelers Mock 1.0 Selection | Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
No. 27 | Green Bay Packers Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Aireontae Ersery | OT | Minnesota | 6’6” | 330 lbs.
The Green Bay Packers are an organization that likes to plan ahead, and that’s exactly what they do with this selection. Both of their offensive tackles are entering contract years in 2025. I don’t think they can afford to extend Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom. The going rate for starting offensive tackles is not cheap. Personally, I would extend Zach Tom and draft Ersery with the plan to use the Minnesota offensive lineman as my longterm left tackle.
Packers Mock 1.0 Selection | Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
No. 28 | Minnesota Vikings Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Shavon Revel Jr. | CB | East Carolina | 6’3” | 193 lbs.
The Minnesota Vikings have given up 242.5 passing yards a game, which ranks them 28th in the league. They have a massive need at cornerback, so they take a chance on Revel’s upside. Shavon Revel Jr. was well on his way to being drafted even higher than this before tearing his ACL in September. With an early season tear, he shouldn’t miss much of the 2025 season, if any. Shavon Revel Jr. has already declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, which showcases a similar confidence that he will be an early selection.
Vikings Mock 1.0 Selection | Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona
No. 29 | Philadelphia Eagles Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Jalon Walker | LB | Georgia | 6’2” | 245 lbs.
Stop me when you’ve heard this before: the Eagles select a former Georgia Bulldog. Walker would be a great fit at inside linebacker for the Eagles. Zach Baun is a free agent, so the Eagles may look to the 2025 NFL Draft for his replacement, if they can’t afford to retain him. Jalon Walker is a freak athlete who flies all over the field. Georgia utilizes him in a variety of ways, but he is a tackle machine. After LSU’s Harold Perkins Jr. tore his ACL, Jalon Walker has emerged as the best linebacker in the draft.
Eagles Mock 1.0 Selection | Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
No. 30 | Buffalo Bills Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Mike Green | EDGE | Marshall | 6’4” | 248 lbs.
Based on his contract, Von Miller may be cut in 2025 or 2026 to save cap space. Greg Rousseau will play on the club option in 2025. The Bills need to add edge rushers and grab a high potential one here. The battle for the 5th-best edge rusher is going to be a tight one, but I have Mike Green here at the moment. The All-Star game circuit will be important for Green to prove himself against upper-level competition, but his tape is extremely impressive. He has been dominant week in and out. Mike Green is leading college football with 15 sacks through Week 13, and the Buffalo Bills would hope that all that production will translate to the NFL.
Bills Mock 1.0 Selection | J.T. Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
No. 31 | Kansas City Chiefs Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Emery Jones Jr. | OT | Louisiana State | 6’6” | 315 lbs.
It’s rare that a talented player at a premium position is still available this late in the draft. With Mahomes making so much money, the Chiefs have to add expensive positions through the draft and take advantage of the rookie contracts. Emery Jones Jr. has been a very solid right tackle for LSU, and he can come in and protect Mahomes right away. Some scouts are concerned that he may end up as an interior offensive lineman, which is possible. However, I see Emery Jones Jr. as a true right tackle in the NFL.
Chiefs Mock 1.0 Selection | Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
No. 32 | Detroit Lions Selection | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
Kyle Kennard | EDGE | South Carolina | 6’5” | 254 lbs.
The Lions are tied for 21st in the league with just 2.3 sacks per game. They address edge rusher here to put on the opposite side of Aidan Hutchinson. Kyle Kennard has impressive burst off the line and bend around offensive tackles. His choice to leave Georgia Tech for the South Carolina Gamecocks has paid off, as Kennard currently leads the SEC in sacks with 11.5 through Week 13. Once Hutchinson is healthy, he and Kennard will torment NFL quarterbacks for years to come.
Lions Mock 1.0 Selection | Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
Round Two | 2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
No. 33 | New York Giants — Walter Nolen | DT | Ole Miss | 6’3” | 305 lbs.

No. 63 | Kansas City Chiefs — Evan Stewart | WR | Oregon | 6’0” | 175 lbs.
