NFL Mock Draft 2025: 2nd and 3rd Round Picks for All 32 Teams

 Would you look at that, it’s a mock NFL Draft that extends past the first round. Those things exist!

The strength of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the lower-first round and the middle rounds. What this class lacks in potential Hall of Fame talent more than makes up for with a TON of players who could be impactful pieces on a championship-winning squad.

Missed our first round NFL mock draft? Go read that first so everything here ties together. But with that said…

Let’s dive into our 2025 mock NFL Draft for the second and third rounds.

2025 Mock NFL Draft: Second Round

1. (33) Cleveland Browns (3-14)

• Shavon Revel (CB), East Carolina

• Previous picks: Abdul Carter (EDGE), Penn State

Revel has a chance to be a first-round pick even despite tearing his ACL last season. His athletic 6-foot-3 frame and career total of less than 30 receiving yards allowed per game make him an enticing prospect.

2. (34) New York Giants (3-14)

• Nick Emmanwori (S), South Carolina

• Previous picks: Travis Hunter (CB/WR), Colorado

Emmanwori is the best run defender at the safety position in the draft. He was also elite in coverage for a South Carolina defense that greatly exceeded expectations, and he’d add more solidarity to a porous Giants secondary.

3. (35) Tennessee Titans (3-14)

• Princely Umanmielen (EDGE), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Cam Ward (QB), Miami

If the Titans don’t take Abdul Carter with the first pick, Umanmielen provides a great alternative. Tennessee was 23rd in sack percentage, while the 6’4 end had 11 sacks and a 22.8 pass rush win rate in his senior campaign.

4. (36) Jacksonville Jaguars (4-13)

• Azareye’h Thomas (CB), Florida State

• Previous picks: Mason Graham (DT), Michigan

The Jaguars gave up the most yards per pass attempt in the NFL and desperately need to overhaul their secondary. Thomas allowed 16.6 receiving yards per game and would rejuvenate Jacksonville’s defense as a legit 6-foot-2 press corner. 

5. (37) Las Vegas Raiders (4-13)

• Donovan Jackson (OT), Ohio State

• Previous picks: Shedeur Sanders (QB), Colorado

Protect your assets! Shedeur Sanders was sacked a nation-leading 42 times last season, and Jackson was elite at both guard and tackle amid Ohio State’s run to a national championship, allowing hurries on 2.8 percent of his pass-blocking reps.

6. (38) New England Patriots (4-13)

• Derrick Harmon (DT), Oregon

• Previous picks: Will Campbell (OT), LSU

Harmon led all interior linemen in hurries (43) and was an impactful run defender. He has great size at 6’5, 310 pounds, and would be an immediate upgrade for a Pats line that was 23rd in pass-rush win rate.

7. (39) Chicago Bears (5-12)

• Cameron Williams (OT), Texas

• Previous picks: Tyler Warren (TE), Penn State

We controversially omitted an offensive lineman from Chicago’s first pick in the draft. Williams would remedy that as an experienced player with the versatility to move down to guard if needed. The only question mark here is that his worst games were against NFL-caliber defensive linemen. 

8. (40) New Orleans Saints (5-12)

• Tyleik Williams (DT), Ohio State

• Previous picks: Will Johnson (CB), Michigan

WIlliams registered 17 hurries in consecutive seasons and was given an elite run defense grade by PFF. New Orleans is thin on the front line and has a very old defense, and getting young and better would kill two birds with one stone. 

9. (41) Chicago Bears (5-12)

Omarion Hampton (RB), North Carolina

Previous picks: Tyler Warren (TE), Penn State; Cameron Williams (OT), Texas

Ben Johnson clearly doesn’t have any use for D’Andre Swift, and Hampton is an electrifying back with game-changing potential. He had 2,033 total yards and 17 touchdowns on 5.9 yards per carry last season, and he’d give the Bears formidable options at receiver, tight end, quarterback, and running back.

10. (42) New York Jets (5-12)

• Colston Loveland (TE), Michigan

• Previous picks: Malaki Starks (S), Georgia

The Jets need a quarterback, but Loveland has first-round value and could get even better since he played in a run-heavy college offense. The Jets are set outside the numbers but didn’t do much over the middle of the field aside from checking the ball down to the running back, and Loveland would completely change that.

11. (43) San Francisco 49ers (6-11)

• T.J. Sanders (DT), South Carolina

• Previous picks: Jalon Walker (LB), Georgia

The Niners have a defensive identity, and Sanders would fill an area of weakness. He had five sacks from the interior in consecutive seasons and was among the nation’s best at stopping the run.

12. (44) Dallas Cowboys (7-10)

• Aireontae Ersery (OT), Minnesota

• Previous picks: James Pearce Jr. (EDGE), Tennessee

Dak Prescott now has serious hamstring and ankle injuries on his resume, which makes protecting him a must. They were 24th in pass-blocking win rate, while Ersery only allowed one sack in 419 reps at left tackle.

13. (45) Indianapolis Colts (8-9)

J.T. Tuimoloau (EDGE), Ohio State

Previous picks: Benjamin Morrison (CB), Notre Dame

The Colts can change the entire complexion of their defense with these two picks. Tuimoloau had 15 sacks last year, set the edge against the run, and has a rare blend of size and speed.

14. (46) Atlanta Falcons (8-9)

• Tre Harris (WR), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Mykel Wiliams (EDGE), Georgia

Michael Penix Jr. is a strong-armed quarterback who needs playmakers down the field. Harris had at least 900 receiving yards in three straight seasons and, at 6-foot-3, can rise up the ladder to come down with jump balls (5.12 yards per route run, 61.5 percent contested catch rate).

15. (47) Arizona Cardinals (8-9)

• Donovan Ezeiruaku (EDGE), Boston College

• Previous picks: Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT), Texas

Let’s get the defensive-minded Jonathan Gannon some pocket collapsers! Ezeiruaku had 14 sacks for BC and registered more than two hurries per game in his final three seasons.

16. (48) Miami Dolphins (8-9)

• Xavier Watts (S), Notre Dame

• Previous picks: Josh Simmons (OT), Ohio State

Watts can line up in the post safety spot, go to the slot, or come down into the box. His coverage skills make him a viable option to play nickel corner, but he’s physical enough to crash down and play the run.

17. (49) Cincinnati Bengals (9-8)

• Kaleb Johnson (RB), Iowa

• Previous picks: Walter Nolen (DT), Ole Miss

Joe Burrow put up MVP-level numbers and still couldn’t get his team into the playoffs, largely because of how one-dimensional Cincy’s attack was. Nolen would shore up their terrible defense, while Johnson’s ability to make defenders miss and spring big plays would compensate for the impending loss of Tee Higgins.

18. (50) Seattle Seahawks (10-7)

• Carson Schwesinger (LB), UCLA

• Previous picks: Grey Zabel (OT/IOL)

Ernest Jones had a great year, but the Seahawks need another sure-tackler to line up behind Mike MacDonald’s work-in-progress defensive line. Schwesinger is an above-average player in coverage, covers the field, and makes plays as an extra blitzer.

19. (51) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7)

• Darien Porter (CB), Iowa State

• Previous picks: Mike Green (EDGE), Marshall

6’4 corners are hard to come by, especially when they allowed 131 receiving yards in their last 20 collegiate games. The Bucs were 19th in defensive EPA per play and 23rd in completion percentage allowed, and a Porter/Green combo would change life down in Florida.

20. (52) Denver Broncos (10-7)

• Jack Bech (WR), TCU

• Previous picks: Ashton Jeanty (RB), Boise State

Bech is a tall wideout who just broke 1,000 receiving yards in his last season and had a 65 percent contested catch rate. With him, Jeanty, and Courtland Sutton in the mix, a strong offensive line, and one of the stingiest defenses in the sport, the Broncos would be on a fast-track back to the playoffs.

21. (53) Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)

• Jaxson Dart (QB), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Luther Burden III (WR), Missouri

Pittsburgh needs a quarterback, and Dart is, in many ways, like a young Ben Roethlisberger. He could do with sitting for a year (behind Aaron Rodgers?) to cut the mental mistakes out of his game, but he has a gorgeous delivery and has the potential to be the best QB in the draft if everything goes right. That’s right, we said it.

22. (54) Los Angeles Chargers

• Landon Jackson (EDGE), Arkansas

• Previous picks: Emeka Egbuka (WR), Ohio State

Khalil Mack is about to hit free agency, and Joey Bosa is a constant injury concern. LA won a lot of games behind the league’s lowest-scoring defense, and the 6’7, 280-pound Jackson was a ferocious run-stopper on the edge.

23 (55). Green Bay Packers (11-6)

• Xavier Restrepo (WR), Miami

• Previous picks: Jack Sawyer (EDGE), Ohio State

Injuries have really prevented Green Bay’s offense from gelling and improving to one of the league’s best. Restrepo had 2,229 yards and 17 touchdowns over his last two seasons and was close to unguardable in man coverage, not to mention he only dropped two of his 95 targets.

24. (56) Buffalo Bills (13-4)

• Omarr Norman-Lott (DT), Tennessee 

• Previous picks: Matthew Golden (WR), Texas

Norman-Lott is, just like seemingly all of Buffalo’s defensive linemen, undersized, but a fascinating talent. He forced pressure on nearly 9.4 percent of his pass-rush reps, putting him right in line with the best sack artists in the draft.

25. (57) Houston Texans (10-7)

• Darius Alexander (DT), Toledo

• Armand Membou (OT/IOL), Missouri

Think of the name “Quinyon Mitchell” when wondering if a rookie from Toledo can make an immediate impact on a contending team. Alexander was one of the highest-rated run defenders in college football, had sick tackles, a sack, an interception, and a touchdown in a bowl game against Pitt, and had a strong 12.8 percent pass rush win rate.

26. (58) Carolina Panthers (5-12)

• Trey Amos (CB), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Tetairoa McMillan (WR), Arizona

Teams will have to live and die with Amos, who can spend a lot of the game shutting down wideouts in press-man coverage but will get occasionally burned. He kept teams to 4.6 yards allowed per target over the last two seasons and had a passer rating of 54.5 as a senior.

27. (59) Baltimore Ravens (12-5)

• Elic Ayomanor (WR), Stanford

• Previous picks: Shemar Stewart (EDGE), Texas A&M

Zay Flowers was a Pro Bowl wideout last year, but he can only operate in a very specific manner. The 6’2 Ayomanor is much more scheme versatile and would open up the downfield passing game that largely hasn’t existed without Lamar Jackson having to escape the pocket.

28. (60) Detroit Lions (15-2)

• Tate Ratledge (G), Georgia

• Previous picks: Nic Scourton (EDGE), Texas A&M

Ratledge was almost completely forgotten about after his ankle injury, but he’s an elite interior force and was a projected first-team All-American. He gave up two sacks in his last three seasons and would help a strength (line play) remain a strength in Detroit.

29. (61) Washington Commanders (12-5)

• Wyatt Milum (OT), West Virginia

• Previous picks: Jahdae Barron (CB), Texas 

The Commanders need size and protection, and it would help their cap situation if they could move off of veteran Andrew Wylie. Milum, at 6’6, 317 pounds, did not allow a sack in three seasons and was outstanding in pass and run-blocking situations.

30. (62) Buffalo Bills (13-4)

• Maxwell Hairston (CB), Kentucky

• Previous picks: Matthew Golden (WR), Texas; Omarr Norman-Lott (Tennessee)

Hariston can flat-out fly and has great instincts, which helped him come up with six interceptions in his last two seasons. He’s only a junior and could do with more experience and time in the weight room, but he’s a ballhawk waiting to make plays.

31. (63) Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)

• Deone Walker (DT), Kentucky

• Previous picks: Tyler Booker (G), Alabama

Walker might be a first-round pick depending on how the NFL combine goes. His 6’6, 345-pound frame jumps off the page, and he had 12 sacks from the interior in his last two seasons. Chris Jones would be a great mentor.

32. (64) Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)

• Jared Ivey (EDGE), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Jihaad Campbell (LB), Alabama

Philly probably can’t pay Josh Sweat, which makes the 6’6 Ivey—who had eight sacks in consecutive seasons—the natural replacement. Philly wants to be big and fast, and Ivey just had a phenomenal season for a defense that was fourth in yards allowed per play.

2025 Mock NFL Draft: Third Round

1. (65) New York Giants (3-14)

• Ozzy Trapilo (OT), Boston College

• Previous picks: Travis Hunter (CB/WR), Colorado; Nick Emmanwori (S), South Carolina

The Giants’ first two picks were all about flexibility and elite-level playmaking, but this one is about security. The 6-foot-8 Trapilo allowed two sacks in two seasons at right tackle and would be an option to replace the underperforming Evan Neal.

2. (66) Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)

• Chris Paul Jr. (LB), Ole Miss

• Previous picks: Tyler Booker (G), Alabama; Deone Walker (DT), Kentucky

Paul Jr. isn’t going to play inside backer in the NFL, which means that the potential loss of Nick Bolton in free agency would still need to be addressed. However, Paul Jr. has tremendous speed and a vast tackling range, which has been crucial in Kansas City holding all rushers in 18 under 100 yards in straight playoff games.

3. (67) Cleveland Browns (3-14)

• TreVeyon Henderson (RB), Ohio State 

• Previous picks: Abdul Carter (EDGE), Penn State; Shavon Revel (CB), East Carolina

It’s the season of change in Cleveland, and replacing the two franchise cornerstones (Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett) is a priority. Henderson’s mild temperament is a stark contrast to his ferocious attitude and explosive playmaking as one of the most well-rounded backs in the draft.

4. (68) Las Vegas Raiders (4-13)

• Savion Williams (WR), TCU

• Previous picks: Shedeur Sanders (QB), Colorado; Donovan Jackson (OT), Ohio State

Sanders took too many sacks in college, and putting a 6-foot-5 jump-ball specialist outside the numbers would give him someone to target when he would otherwise take a sack. Williams caught 60 passes last year and had an absurd 88.9 percent contested catch rate, though he also dropped eight balls.

5. (69) New England Patriots (4-13)

• Quinshon Judkins (RB), Ohio State

• Previous picks: Will Campbell (OT), LSU; Derrick Harmon (DT), Oregon

Judkins has incredible agility and elusiveness in the open field, though he proved at Ohio State that he can also take the ball between the tackles. He would help Drake Maye and the New England offense play ahead of the sticks. 

6. (70) Jacksonville Jaguars (5-12)

• Jared Wilson (C), Georgia

• Previous picks: Mason Graham (DT), Michigan; Azareye’h Thomas (CB), Florida State

Mitch Morse was 32nd in PFF’s center rankings despite winning 96 percent of his pass-block reps, good for seventh among interior linemen. The Jags had a bottom-third offensive line, while Wilson was one of the most underrated linemen in college football and did not allow a sack in 511 pass-blocking reps.

7. (71) New Orleans Saints (5-12)

Mason Taylor (TE), LSU

Previous picks: Will Johnson (CB), LSU; Tyleik Williams (DT), Ohio State

The Saints haven’t had a great tight end since Jimmy Graham, and Taylor is already familiar with the area. He didn’t produce at an elite level in college but only had one drop last season and lost targets to LSU’s fantastic wide receiving corps.

8. (72) Chicago Bears (5-12)

• Kyle Kennard (EDGE), South Carolins

• Previous picks: Tyler Warren (TE), Penn State; Cameron Williams (OT), Texas; Omarion Hampton (RB), North Carolina

Kennard was a mainstay on a South Carolina defense that ranked 12th in yards allowed per play, registering 17 sacks in his final two seasons. The Bears’ defense started hot but tailed off toward the end of the year, finishing 24th in pass-rush and 29th in run-stop win rate.

9. (73) Las Vegas Raiders (4-13)

• Kevin Winston Jr. (S), Penn State

• Previous picks: Shedeur Sanders (QB), Colorado; Donovan Jackson (OT), Ohio State; Savion Williams (WR), TCU

Winston Jr. is a spitting image of what the Raiders’ defense was a couple of decades ago. He only played two games before suffering a major injury, but he’s just 21 years old and is straight-up nasty coming downhill to play the run and will make plays sideline to sideline.

10. (74) Carolina Panthers (4-13)

• Alfred Collins (DT), Texas

• Previous picks: Tetairoa McMillan (WR), Arizona; Trey Amos (CB), Ole Miss

Collins had the luxury of playing with an extremely talented group and still found a way to stand out, posting strong marks against the run and batting six passes at the line of scrimmage. Carolina needs help all over its defense and could use another burly lineman after it traded Brian Burns.

11. (75) San Francisco 49ers (6-11)

• Jonah Savaiinaea (OT), Arizona

• Previous picks: Jalon Walker (LB), Georgia; Trey Amos (CB), Ole Miss

Savaiinaea allowed four sacks last season for an injury-riddled Arizona squad but would have the luxury of learning from one of the game’s greats, 36-year-old Trent Williams. San Francisco’s offensive line has been below average for a couple of seasons and could do with a youthful injection.

12. (76) Dallas Cowboys (7-10)

• Isaiah Bond (WR), Texas

• Previous picks: James Pearce Jr. (EDGE), Tennessee; Aireontae Ersery (OT), Minnesota

Bond can fly and would give opposing defenses a credible downfield threat not named CeeDee Lamb. He isn’t the most physical receiver but would give Dallas options with lateral routes at the line of scrimmage or busting past the safeties. 

13. (77) New England Patriots (4-13)

• Josaiah Stewart (EDGE), Michigan

• Previous picks: Will Campbell (OT), LSU; Derrick Harmon (DT), Oregon; Quinshon Judkins (RB), Ohio State

Did Stewart benefit from playing alongside Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant? Absolutely. However, he posted elite grades in nearly every category last season, had nine sacks, and would be a strong foundational piece in Mike Vrabel’s culture build.

14. (78) Arizona Cardinals (9-8)

• CJ West (DT), Indiana

• Previous picks: Kelvin Banks (OT), Texas; Donovan Ezeiruaku (EDGE), Boston College

Sleep on Indiana’s defense at your own expense. West locked down the interior for a unit that ranked third in yards allowed per rush and seventh in yards allowed per pass. He’s particularly great against the run, while the Cardinals were 25th in yards allowed per rush (4.6). 

15. (79) Washington Commanders (12-5)

• Jayden Higgins (WR), Iowa State

• Previous picks: Jahdae Barron (CB), Texas; Wyatt Milum (OT), West Virginia

The Commanders already solidified their back end and protection in this draft, and the potential addition of a veteran pass-rusher means that giving another weapon to their young superstar quarterback is a must. The 6-foot-4 Higgins only dropped two passes and posted elite numbers in yards per route run and PFF’s grade against man coverage en route to 1,185 yards and nine TDs.

16. (80) Indianapolis Colts (8-9)

• Elijah Arroyo (TE), Miami

• Previous picks: Benjamin Morrison (CB), Notre Dame; J.T. Tuimoloau (EDGE), Ohio State

The Colts’ first two picks gave their defense more of a presence in the pass rush and the secondary. Now, they need to make young QB Anthony Richardson as comfortable as possible with a reliable target who can control the middle of the field and exploit mismatches with his size.

17. (81) Cincinnati Bengals (9-8)

• Tez Johnson (WR), Oregon

• Previous picks: Walter Nolen (DT), Ole Miss; Kaleb Johnson (RB), Iowa

Cicny would go defense or line here, but selecting Johnson would allow them to add more speed to the outside and replace Tee Higgins with a much cheaper option. Johnson only weighs 165 pounds, but he can fly, and he caught three straight seasons of 800+ yards and racked up 24 touchdowns in that time.

18. (82) Seattle Seahawks (10-7)

• Jordan Burch (EDGE), Oregon

• Previous picks: Grey Zabel (OT/IOL), North Dakota State; Carson Schwesinger (LB), UCLA

Seahawks defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald wants to build a large defensive front that can plug the holes in the run game and get after the QB. At 6-foot-6, 295 pounds, and coming off a 10-sack season, Burch makes perfect sense.

19. (83) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7)

Jalen Royals (WR), Utah State

Previous picks: Mike Green (EDGE), Marshall; Darien Porter (CB), Iowa State

Mike Evans will be 32 years old when the season starts, and Chris Godwin is a free agent. Royals had 1,080 yards and 15 TDs as a junior and averaged nearly 120 yards per game as a senior before suffering an injury.

20. (84) Denver Broncos (10-7)

• Andrew Mukuba (S), Texas

• Previous picks: Ashton Jeanty (RB), Boise State; Jack Bech (WR), TCU

Mukuba is one of the best coverage safeties in the draft and would be an excellent pairing for Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II. The Broncos’ defense allowed the third-fewest points per game, and safety is one of the few areas they could upgrade on that side of the ball.

21. (85) Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)

• Nohl Williams (CB), California

• Previous picks: Luther Burden III (WR), Missouri; Jaxson Dart (QB), Ole Miss

The Steelers love their turnovers, and that’s what Williams brings to a defense. He had seven interceptions last season, including two in a road game against Auburn, and had his best overall year in coverage.

22. (86) Los Angeles Chargers (11-6)

• Cam Skattebo (RB), Arizona State

• Previous picks: Emek Egbuka (WR), Ohio State; Landon Jackson (EDGE), Arkansas

Has there ever been more of a John Harbaugh running back than Skattebo? What he lacks in speed he makes up for with extraordinary fierce and powerful running, as he showed in his last season wchi saw him reach 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns. 

23. (87) Green Bay Packers (11-6)

• Willie Lampkin (IOL), North Carolina

• Previous picks: Jack Sawyer (EDGE), Ohio State; Xavier Restrepo (WR), Miami

Lampkin is the most unorthodox player in this draft as a 5-foot-10, 270-pound offensive lineman—but his tape doesn’t lie. His elite speed and leverage made him a standout at the Senior Bowl, and he only allowed one sack in 1,417 collegiate pass-blocking reps.

24. (88) Jacksonville Jaguars (5-12)

• Dylan Sampson (RB), Tennessee

• Previous picks: Mason Graham (DT), Michigan; Azareye’h Thomas (CB), Florida State; Jared Wilson (C), Georgia

The Jags pivoted from Travis Ettienne Jr. to Tank Bigsby during the season and likely found that neither has what it takes to be the long-term number-one back. New head coach Liam Coen saw the impact of rookie Bucky Irving in Tampa last year and could take a punt on Sampson, whose historic season at UT saw him rush for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns on 5.8 yards per carry.

25. (89) Houston Texans 

• Barrett Carter (LB), Clemson

• Previous picks: Armand Membou (OT/IOL), Missouri; Darius Alexander (DT), Toledo

The Texans were only 21st in missed tackle rate last year, and leading tackler Henry To’oTo’o had the seventh-most missed tackles in the league. Carter is a strong tackler who plays the run well and can pitch in as a pass rusher in a pinch.

26. (90) Los Angeles Rams (10-7)

• Harold Fannin Jr. (TE), Bowling Green

• Previous picks: Josh Conerly Jr. (OT), Oregon

Regardless of whether Matthew Stafford is still employed by the Rams when the season starts, Fannin Jr. will be a security blanket and impact player for his quarterback. He rewrote the history books with 117 receptions, 1,555 yards, and 10 TDs last season and would take over Cooper Kupp’s role of controlling the middle of the field. 

27. (91) Baltimore Ravens (12-5)

• Charles Grant (OT), William & Mary

• Previous picks: Shemar Stewart (EDGE), Texas A&M; Elic Ayomanor (WR), Stanford

The Ravens’ offensive line was excellent, but left tackle Ronnie Stanley is a free agent. Grant was fourth in PFF’s tackle rankings and is a mobile run-blocker, which meshes well with what Baltimore’s offense wants to do.

28. (92) New York Jets (5-12)

• Marcus Mbow (OT), Purdue

• Previous picks: Malaki Starks (S), Georgia; Colston Loveland (TE), Michigan

It’s rare that a lineman with feet as quick and fluid as Mbow falls this far down the board, which could be an indication that we’re underselling him. His numbers weren’t amazing last year, but that’s likely due to playing for an unimpressive Purdue squad. 

29. (93) New Orleans Saints (5-12)

• Lathan Ransom (S), Ohio State

• Previous picks: Will Johnson (CB), LSU; Tyleik Williams (DT), Ohio State; Mason Taylor (TE), LSU

Ransom is yet another outstanding safety run-defender in this draft. He has room to grow in coverage and could be exposed without a pass rush early in his career, but he’ll be impactful creeping down into the box.

30. (94) Cleveland Browns (3-14)

• Emery Jones Jr. (OT), LSU

• Previous picks: Abdul Carter (EDGE), Penn State; Shavon Revel (CB), East Carolina; TreVeyon Henderson

Jones isn’t even 21 years old, and he’s 6’6, 315 pounds, and allowed one sack in 556 pass-blocking reps last season. Cleveland’s offensive line finally had a bad year, and Jones Jr. could help revitalize what had been a strength.

31. (95) Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)

• RJ Harvey (UCF)

• Previous picks: Tyler Booker (G), Alabama; Deone Walker (DT), Kentucky; Chris Paul Jr. (LB), Ole Miss

There’s real diamond-in-the-rough potential with Harvey, a former quarterback who ran for 2,985 yards and 38 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He does a great job of blending speed with patience and would be a huge help for a Kansas City team that hasn’t had an explosive runner in years.

32. (96) Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)

• Jaylin Noel (WR), Iowa State

• Previous picks: Jihaad Campbell (LB), Alabama; Jared Ivey (EDGE), Ole Miss

Philly has been blessed to have A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the pair won’t stick together forever. Noel caught 80 passes for 1,193 yards and eight TDs predominantly out of the slot and was fourth in the country in deep yards (609) and tied for tenth in deep catches (14).

2025 Mock NFL Draft: Compensatory Third Round

33. (97) Minnesota Vikings (14-3)

• Zy Alexander (CB), LSU

• Previous picks: Kenneth Grant (DT), Michigan

Minnesota’s outstanding defense relied heavily on 34-year-old Stephon Gillmore, who is about to become a free agent. Alexander allowed a 53.2 passer rating when targeted and gave up 18.5 receiving yards per game last season.

34. (98) Miami Dolphins

• Aeneas Peebles (DT), Virginia Tech

• Previous picks: Josh Simmons (OT), Ohio State; Xavier Watts (S), Notre Dame

Peebles is a little undersized, but his first step is turbo-charged. He’s impactful on all three downs and would boost a Miami defense that was sixth in sacks.

35. (99) San Francisco 49ers (6-11)

• Rylie Mills (DT), Notre Dame

• Previous picks: Jalon Walker (LB), Georgia; Trey Amos (CB), Ole Miss; Charles Grant (OT), William & Mary

Mills ranked fourth in pass-rush win rate among interior linemen in this class, trailing only Norman-Lott, Peebles, and Harmon. He had eight sacks last year, while San Francisco’s normally dominant defensive front is coming off of a bang-average campaign.

36. (100) Los Angeles Rams (10-7)

• Demetrius Knight Jr. (LB, South Carolina)

• Previous picks: Josh Conerly Jr. (OT), Oregon; Harold Fannin Jr. (TE), Bowling Green

Knight Jr. is going to be 25 in his rookie NFL season, but he blossomed at South Carolina last year. The Rams are in the middle of a youthful revolution on defense and went from 26th to either in tackle rate from the first to the second half of the 2024 season, and Knight would add to what they are building.

37. (101) Detroit Lions (15-2)

• Thor Griffith (DT), Louisville

• Previous picks: Nic Scourton (EDGE), Texas A&M; Tate Ratledge (G), Georgia

Griffith was among the nation’s elite in pass-rush and run-stop win rate. Detroit needs more beef on its front line and would completely solidify its trenches with these picks since it’s set at basically every other position.
