Two-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Both Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders Land in Cleveland

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.

I have split this two-round mock up into two sections. The first is organized team by team, with all of the Round 1 and 2 selections listed together with accompanying analysis.

Tennessee Titans

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
