Two-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Both Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders Land in Cleveland
Thor Nystrom breaks down his predictions for the first two rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, going both pick-by-pick and team-by-team.
The NFL Draft is less than three weeks away—16 days, to be exact—so it feels like the perfect time to roll out my first two-round NFL mock draft for the 2025 class.

Tennessee Titans
The Titans give new franchise face Cam Ward help by stopping the slide of target-hound slot WR Emeka Egbuka.

| 35 | Emeka Egbuka | Ohio State | 6007 | 202 | 9.72 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR3 |
Cleveland Browns
I’m still not convinced that Shedeur Sanders falls—but if he does, monitor the pick-rich Cleveland Browns to potentially swoop in with a trade up to keep Sanders and Travis Hunter together in the pros.

| *15 | Shedeur Sanders | Colorado | 6014 | 212 | -- | Drew Brees | QB1 |
New York Giants
With a front office and coaching staff on white-hot seats, the Giants eschew a quarterback of the future for immediate help in the trenches.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Abdul Carter | Penn State | 6030 | 250 | -- | Micah Parsons | EDGE1 |
| 34 | Josh Conerly | Oregon | 6045 | 311 | 8.85 | Paris Johnson | OT5 |
New England Patriots
Only one quarterback going in the top-3 is New England’s nightmare scenario—the Pats make lemonade by bolstering an offensive line that fell apart in 2024 and get the perfect complement to Rhamondre Stevenson in Henderson at 2.38.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Armand Membou | Missouri | 6042 | 332 | 9.9 | Rashawn Slater | OT1 |
| 38 | TreVeyon Henderson | Ohio State | 5101 | 202 | 8.87 | Reggie Bush | RB4 |
Jacksonville Jaguars
New GM James Gladstone puts his stamp on the team with a trade-down in Round 1 and gets strong values at positions of need with his three top-43 picks.
My Luther Burden scouting profile
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |

| *43 | T.J. Sanders | S. Carolina | 6040 | 297 | 9.38 | Ryan Sims | DL9 |
Las Vegas Raiders
The Pete Carroll Era kicks off with a generational running back prospect and much-needed interior DL help.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Ashton Jeanty | Boise State | 5084 | 211 | -- | LaDainian Tomlinson | RB1 |
| 37 | Darius Alexander | Toledo | 6037 | 305 | 9.16 | Christian Barmore | DL5 |
New York Jets
Starting over, again, the Jets focus on the foundation and send help to both sides of the line of scrimmage.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Will Campbell | LSU | 6057 | 319 | 9.91 | Jonah Williams | OT3 |
| 42 | Tyleik Williams | Ohio State | 6027 | 334 | -- | Maliek Collins | DL8 |
Carolina Panthers
Walker is the do-it-all front-seven dynamo that the Panthers desperately need, and Noel would be a fabulous complement to Xavier Legette/Jalen Coker, who would also allow Carolina to trade WR Adam Thielen to a contender for a Day 3 pick.

| 57 | Jaylin Noel | Iowa State | 5102 | 194 | 9.75 | Khalil Shakir | WR7 |
New Orleans Saints
The Saints need help everywhere and can thus more or less go BPA—this would be a slick return on two top-40 picks.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | Mason Graham | Michigan | 6034 | 296 | -- | La'Roi Glover | DL1 |
| 40 | Shavon Revel | East Carolina | 6020 | 190 | -- | Riq Woolen | CB5 |
Chicago Bears
Boxed out of immediate help at LT, the Bears audible to acquiring extra picks while adding two immediate starters on defense, and also the David Montgomery to D’Andre Swift’s Jahmyr Gibbs with Judkins.
My Quinshon Judkins scouting profile
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |

| 41 | Quinshon Judkins | Ohio State | 5115 | 221 | 9.9 | Joe Mixon | RB5 |
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers currently have 11 picks, and I’ve been told they’ve been looking into the possibility of a flashy move up in Round 1 for skill help—San Francisco likes Warren.
My Tyler Warren scouting profile
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *5 | Tyler Warren | Penn State | 6054 | 256 | -- | Jeremy Shockey | TE1 |
Dallas Cowboys
A sizzle-draft start for the Cowboys, who add two potential skill stars in McMillan and Johnson, the latter of whom is a perfect fit for new HC Brian Schottenheimer’s zone-run system.
My Tetairoa McMillan scouting profile
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *10 | Tetairoa McMillan | Arizona | 6041 | 219 | -- | Drake London | WR1 |
| *50 | Kaleb Johnson | Iowa | 6010 | 224 | -- | Larry Johnson | RB3 |
Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins eat their vegetables by bolstering the trenches, all the more important now that five-time Pro Bowl LT Terron Armstead has retired.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Kelvin Banks | Texas | 6051 | 315 | 8.31 | Dion Dawkins | OT2 |
| 48 | Shemar Turner | Texas A&M | 6031 | 290 | -- | Jihad Ward | DL10 |
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts walk away from the first two rounds with a pair of Day 1 starters at positions of need.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | Colston Loveland | Michigan | 6056 | 248 | -- | Mark Andrews | TE2 |
| 45 | Xavier Watts | Notre Dame | 5116 | 204 | 5.79 | Anthony Harris | S3 |
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have only five picks, and two of them are in R7; a trade-down in R1 makes all kinds of sense, and, in this scenario, Atlanta comes out smelling like roses when James Pearce—who addresses their long-standing need for more pass-rushing juice off the edge—falls to 2.33.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *33 | James Pearce | Tennessee | 6052 | 245 | 9.4 | Brian Burns | EDGE5 |
| 46 | Trey Amos | Mississippi | 6006 | 195 | 8.37 | Martin Emerson | CB7 |
Arizona Cardinals
Campbell plugs an off-ball hole and adds situational off-the-edge pass-rushing utility, while Jackson steps into the starting lineup immediately with former Ohio State teammate LT Paris Johnson and playing for his former Buckeyes OL coach Justin Frye, who now has the same job with the Cardinals.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | Jihaad Campbell | Alabama | 6027 | 235 | 9.87 | Derrick Johnson | LB2 |
| 47 | Donovan Jackson | Ohio State | 6035 | 315 | 9 | Tyler Smith | OG2 |
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals need to get serious about improving their defense—adding two new starters on that side of the ball with the first two picks would be a coup.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | Nick Emmanwori | South Carolina | 6031 | 220 | 10 | Kyle Hamilton | S1 |
| 49 | Carson Schwesinger | UCLA | 6024 | 242 | -- | Fred Warner | LB3 |
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are sitting on a warchest of draft capital and are going to be active on draft weekend—in this exercise, fortune is on their side, as the board drops them three immediate starters with the trio of top-52 picks.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Matthew Golden | Texas | 5110 | 191 | -- | Chris Olave | WR2 |
| *44 | Nic Scourton | Texas A&M | 6026 | 257 | -- | Trey Hendrickson | EDGE7 |
| 52 | Jared Wilson | Georgia | 6030 | 310 | 9.84 | Cesar Ruiz | C1 |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We know that Tampa Bay is going to be aggressive to improve the threadbare front seven.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | Mike Green | Marshall | 6031 | 251 | -- | Robert Quinn | EDGE2 |
| 53 | Demetrius Knight | South Carolina | 6015 | 235 | 8.17 | Bobby Okereke | LB5 |
Denver Broncos
The Broncos desperately need help at the skill positions. Keep an eye on Hampton if he reaches 1.20, as Denver’s RB depth chart is currently topped by Jaleel McLaughlin/Audric Estime.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Omarion Hampton | North Carolina | 5116 | 221 | 9.7 | Deuce McAllister | RB2 |
| 51 | Elic Ayomanor | Stanford | 6016 | 206 | 9.71 | Braylon Edwards | WR6 |
Pittsburgh Steelers
Dart is getting late steam—regardless of whether or not Pittsburgh ultimately signs QB Aaron Rodgers, Dart could be a target.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | Jaxson Dart | Mississippi | 6022 | 223 | -- | Jake Plummer | QB3 |
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers’ biggest need of DL is checked with Nolen, and Los Angeles turns around and hits their second-biggest need with Taylor.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | Walter Nolen | Mississippi | 6036 | 296 | Gerald McCoy | DL2 | |
| 55 | Mason Taylor | LSU | 6051 | 251 | 8.87 | Tucker Kraft | TE4 |
Green Bay Packers
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | Mykel Williams | Georgia | 6051 | 260 | Chris Jones | EDGE4 | |
| 54 | Benjamin Morrison | Notre Dame | 6002 | 193 | -- | Paulson Adebo | CB8 |
Minnesota Vikings
In this exercise, the Vikings move back six spots in R1 in order to move up from the R3 comp range to the back of R2—Zabel would start immediately at LG, and Collins would be a heavily-used rotational player immediately while ostensibly being groomed to replace Harrison Phillips.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *30 | Grey Zabel | North Dakota State | 6057 | 312 | 9.49 | Graham Barton | OG1 |
| *62 | Alfred Collins | Texas | 6055 | 332 | John Henderson | DL6 |
Houston Texans
Simmons, a high-ceiling prospect coming off a season-ending knee injury, would take over LT from Cam Robinson in 2026.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Josh Simmons | Ohio State | 6047 | 317 | -- | Broderick Jones | OT4 |
| 58 | Tre Harris | Mississippi | 6023 | 205 | 9.23 | Cedric Tillman | WR8 |
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams add speed to the cornerback room with the 2025 NFL Combine’s fastest player.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | Maxwell Hairston | Kentucky | 5112 | 183 | 9.63 | Rasul Douglas | CB4 |
Baltimore Ravens
Booker, a young powerhouse, would bolster an uninspiring projected starting guard tandem of Daniel Faalele and Andrew Vorhees.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | Tyler Booker | Alabama | 6045 | 321 | 3.68 | Trey Smith | OG3 |
| 59 | Princely Umanmielen | Mississippi | 6043 | 244 | 8.98 | Boye Mafe | EDGE10 |
Detroit Lions
Ezeiruaku and Aidan Hutchinson would make for a fearsome long-term edge-rushing duo.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | Donovan Ezeiruaku | Boston College | 6024 | 248 | 8.12 | Harold Landry | EDGE3 |
| 60 | Jayden Higgins | Iowa State | 6041 | 214 | 9.63 | Kenny Golladay | WR5 |
Washington Commanders
The Commanders are committed to fixing their run defense—they need an immediate EDGE starter, and want one who excels against the run … Stewart qualifies.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | Shemar Stewart | Texas A&M | 6050 | 267 | 10 | Rashaan Gary | EDGE6 |
| 61 | Cam Skattebo | Arizona State | 5094 | 219 | David Montgomery | RB10 |
Buffalo Bills
With Barron falling into range, the Bills seize the day and move up to get him—Barron reminds me so much of Devon Witherspoon.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *24 | Jahdae Barron | Texas | 5106 | 194 | 8.62 | Devon Witherspoon | CB3 |
| 56 | Landon Jackson | Arkansas | 6060 | 264 | 9.78 | Chris Kelsay | EDGE8 |
Kansas City Chiefs
The most likely outcome for Kansas City is that their first two picks will go to the offensive and defensive lines—this outcome would be close to ideal.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | Derrick Harmon | Oregon | 6044 | 313 | -- | Marcell Dareus | DL4 |
| 63 | Aireontae Ersery | Minnesota | 6060 | 331 | 9.43 | Demar Dotson | OT6 |
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia’s BPA ethos once again returns a pair of players who probably each should have gone a little higher.
| Pk | Name | School | Height | Weight | RAS | Comp | Rank | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32 | Malaki Starks | Georgia | 6007 | 197 | 5.29 | Brian Branch | S2 | Philadelphia |
