Round 1
1) Tennessee Titans - QB Cam Ward (college: Miami)
The Heisman Trophy finalist and FBS record holder with the most passing touchdowns (158) in a collegiate career will now be the face of the Titans franchise going forward.
The 6’2’' 219 lbs All-American quarterback received the highest grade (86) of any QB prospect in the draft, according to ESPN's Next Gen Stats.
2) Jacksonville Jaguars - WR/DB Travis Hunter (college: Colorado)
After a stunning trade to move up to the No. 2 pick, the Jaguars trade up to draft the Heisman Trophy winner in Travis Hunter - who is hailed by many the best overall player in the entire draft.
Hunter, the 6'0" 188lbs dual-threat athlete, just had his number #12 retired recently by Colorado. Now, whether the Jaguars will have Hunter play on both sides of the ball like he wants to is the big question.
3) New York Giants - DE Abdul Carter (college: Penn State)
The draft's top EDGE prospect, who put up 24 tackles for loss and 12 sacks this past season, earned him the 2024 BIG 10 Defensive Player of the Year award.
At 6'3" 250 lbs, the All-American EDGE rusher put up the best production grade (95) and total score (90) of anyone at his position in the draft. An explosive pass rusher is heading to New York.
4) New England Patriots - LT Will Campbell (college: LSU)
The 6'6" 319 lbs consensus All-American and Jacobs Blocking Trophy award-winner will be a perfect piece for a Patriots team that ranked 28th in sacks given up last year.
Campbell gave up just four sacks in a career total of 1,594 pass blocking snaps.
5) Cleveland Browns - DT Mason Graham (college: Michigan)
The Browns take the top defensive tackle in the NFL Draft with the All-American in Mason Graham.
Michigan's big man standing at 6'3" 296 lbs was given both the best production score (93) and overall score (85) for his position.
6) Las Vegas Raiders - RB Ashton Jeanty (college: Boise State)
The top running back in the draft and the one who some thought should've won the Heisman Trophy is heading to the Raiders.
Jeanty led all of college football in back-to-back years in both rushing attempts and rushing yards. This past year, Jeanty put up an unbelievable 2,601 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns, which also led all of college football.
He is now the highest selection ever for a player from Boise State.
7) New York Jets - RT Armand Membou (college: Missouri)
Membou had the highest athleticism grade (94) in the entire draft among all tackles and let up zero sacks and zero quarterback hits last season in 411 pass block snaps.
The 6'4" 332 lbs Second-team All-SEC will now aid a Jets line that constantly finds itself battling injuries. And a durable Membou with no notable injuries could be one heck of a remedy.
8) Carolina Panthers - WR Tetairoa McMillan (college: Arizona)
The Panthers give quarterback Bryce Young a promising target with taking the top receiver in the draft in McMillan. He was third in all of college football last season with 1,319 receiving yards along with eight touchdowns.
Standing at 6'4" 219 lbs, the First-team All-American and First-team All-BIG 12 McMillan isn't known for his explosiveness but rather his insane ability to win contested catches with a wide radius.
He is now the first Arizona wide receiver to ever be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
9) New Orleans Saints - T Kelvin Banks Jr. (college: Texas)
After being a little banged up this past season (missed the SEC Championship with an ankle injury), Banks, who could've been a top-five pick, gave up just one sack and two quarterback hits in 538 pass-blocking snaps last season.
He earned the honours of First-team All-American and First-team All-SEC last season, winning both the Lombardi Trophy (best offensive lineman) and Outland Trophy (best offensive/defensive lineman).
10) Chicago Bears - TE Colston Loveland (college: Michigan)
A finalist for the John Mackey Award (best tight end) last season, Loveland set the Michigan single-season record for tight ends in receptions (56).
The massive 6'6" 248 lbs Second-team All-American will not only provide quarterback Caleb Williams a great target in the pass game, but also someone who isn't afraid to get down and dirty in the run blocking as well.
"Loveland’s ability to haul in passes and run crisp routes can’t be denied. His knowledge of the route tree and ability to haul in even the toughest of passes makes him a valuable target for any team," - Vasilios Nikolau (@VasiliosTV), award-winning sports producer.
11) San Francisco 49ers - EDGE Mykel Williams (college: Georgia)
A strong run stuffer off the edge still put up six sacks, five quarterback hits, and forced two fumbles last season for the Bulldogs.
Standing at a stout 6'5" 260 lbs, the Second-team All-SEC played last season through an ankle injury and was still able to produce at a high level.
12) Dallas Cowboys - G Tyler Booker (college: Alabama)
After future Hall of Famer Zack Martin retired, the Cowboys filled this hole wonderfully by drafting a Second-team All-American in Booker.
While his athleticism score (56) is rather low, his production score (81) is the second highest among all guards in the draft. The 6'5 321 All-SEC guard, who even trained in Dallas recently, didn't allow a single sack last season and has experience at both left guard and right guard.
13) Miami Dolphins - DT Kenneth Grant (college: Michigan)
Mason Graham's explosive interior defensive lineman teammate, Grant was a Third-team All-American and Second-team All-SEC selection this past season after putting up 18 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, and three sacks.
The 6'4" 331 lbs tank will be a nice addition to a Dolphins defensive line that led the way to being the 9th-ranked run defence last season.
14) Indianapolis Colts - TE Tyler Warren (college: Penn State)
The John Mackey Award recipient and possibly the best tight end in Penn State's long, rich history, Warren might even be considered a steal right here for the Colts. He was ranked first among all tight ends in production score (98), athleticism (85), and total score (92).
Measuring in a 6'5" 256 lbs, this All-American put up a school record 104 receptions last season and put up the sixth-most receiving yards (1,233) by a TE in Penn State
15) Atlanta Falcons - LB Jalon Walker (college: Georgia)
A Butkus Award winner (best linebacker) led the Bulldogs in both tackles (60) and tackles for loss (10.5). He also tied for the most sacks (6.5) as a linebacker who can do it all.
The Third-team All-American and Second-team All-SEC measuring at 6'1" 243 lbs is the highest defensive selection for the Falcons since they drafted Vic Beasley with the 8th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
16) Arizona Cardinals - DT Walter Nolen (college: Ole Miss)
As a First-team All-American and First-team All-SEC, Nolen was given the second-highest production (86) and overall grade (80) out of all defensive tackles in the draft.
He put up 6.5 sacks last season and tied for the team lead in tackles for loss with 14. In 2022, he was the top high school recruit in the entire country and ended his collegiate career as a finalist for the Outland Trophy (best offensive/defensive lineman).
17) Cincinnati Bengals - EDGE Shemar Stewart (college: Texas A&M)
The 6'5" 267 EDGE rusher put up 31 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, and 1.5 sacks last season.
His athleticism is eye-popping with a 40-inch vertical, a 4.59 40-yard dash, and a longer wingspan than LeBron James, but there have been questions surrounding his overall production.
But if the Bengals keep the league's leading pass-rusher in Trey Hendrickson around, Stewart has the perfect guy to complement his play and learn from to improve an abysmal Bengals defence.
18) Seattle Seahawks - G Grey Zabel (college: North Dakota State)
Possibly the most versatile offensive lineman taken so far in the draft, Zabel spent all 961 snaps last season at left tackle, 211 at right guard and 686 at right tackle in 2023, and a little bit of everywhere except right guard in 2022.
He gave up just one sack in 453 pass blocking snaps last year, earning him First-team FCS All-American and First-team Missouri Valley Football Conference honours.
Pro Football Focus gave Zabel a 93.1 pass-blocking grade and 86.4 run-blocking grade.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - WR Emekea Egbuka (college: Ohio State)
Ohio State's all-time leading receiver will join an incredible wide receiver room led by future Hall of Famer Mike Evans to give quarterback Baker Mayfield another outstanding target this upcoming season.
Egbuka, a 6'1" 202 lbs Third-team All-BIG 10 and Ohio State team captain, put up 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns last season on a team-high 81 receptions.
20) Denver Broncos - CB Jahdae Barron (college: Texas)
At 5'11" 194 lbs and putting up a burning 4.39 40-yard dash, this First-team All-American and First-team All-SEC is the top cornerback taken in the draft and for good reason.
He won the Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back) and was a finalist for the Bronco Nagurski Award (top defensive player) after putting up a team-leading 11 pass deflections and five interceptions last season, which tied for the third-most in the FBS.
21) Pittsburgh Steelers - DT Derrick Harmon (college: Oregon)
In a chance to draft a much-needed QB, the Steelers went with a Second-team All-American interior defensive lineman in Harmon.
He put up 45 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, four pass deflections, and two forced fumbles but put up a massive 43 quarterback hurries as a prime pass disruptor for the Ducks last season.
22) Los Angeles Chargers - RB Omarion Hampton (college: North Carolina)
The second-best running back is off the board as the Chargers drafted a major need at running back with Hampton.
At 6'0" 221 lbs and running a 4.46 40-yard dash, this Second-team All-American put up 1,660 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns on 228 carries last season, leading him to a finalist spot for the Doak Walker Award (best running back).
23) Green Bay Packers - WR Matthew Golden (college: Texas)
For the first time since 2002, the Green Bay Packers went wide receiver in the first round with Golden, who ran a 4.29 at the combine and led the Longhorns last year with 58 catches, 987 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns.
While his motivation on route running isn't a high point on Golden's scouting report, his quick feet and big-play ability are undeniable as is his tenacity for shining when it matters most. The Packers continue to stack weapons around quarterback Jordan Love.
24) Minnesota Vikings - G Donovan Jackson (college: Ohio State)
The versatile guard heads to the Vikings to give franchise quarterback JJ McCarthy some protection. Jackson, at 6'4" 315 lbs, is a Second-team All-American and First-team All-BIG 10.
He played 529 snaps at left tackle and 286 at left guard last season, giving a total of 12 quarterback hurries, five hits, and two sacks.
25) Houston Texans (traded to New York Giants) - QB Jaxson Dart (college: Ole Miss)
After trading up to the 25th overall pick, the New York Giants took Jaxson Dart after coming off a season where he surpassed two-time Super Bowl champion and Ole Miss alum Eli Manning with 10,617 career passing yards.
His 12,115 yards of total offence is also an Ole Miss record, leading to First-team All-SEC honours for a quarterback who excels at throwing into man coverage and hitting his receivers on their back shoulder.
26) Los Angeles Rams (traded to Atlanta Falcons) - EDGE James Pearce Jr. (college: Tennessee)
Possibly the most athletic pass rusher in the draft, Pearce's 4.47 40-time was the best at this position during the combine.
He earned First-team All-SEC honours after leading his team with 14.5 tackles for loss and was tied eighth in the entire FBS with 10 sacks. However, off-field issues could be why he slipped this far.
27) Baltimore Ravens - S Malaki Starks (college: Georgia)
Once again, a possible stud of a safety falls in the Ravens' lap. In 2023, Stark was a First-team All-American and First-team All-SEC and was a finalist for both the Bronko Nagurski (best defensive player) and Jim Thorpe (best defensive back) Awards.
This past year, he made Second-team All-American and Second-team All-SEC and was a finalist, yet again, for the Jim Thorpe Award after leading the team with 77 tackles with four tackles for loss, three pass deflections, and one interception.
Vasilios Nikolau's draft analysis states, "Malaki Starks is a high-ceiling safety prospect with incredible body control and ball-tracking skills. His presence in a talented Ravens defensive backfield not only makes them more versatile but also helps existing pieces do more of what they’re best at. He should be a mainstay of the defence as a rookie in 2025."
28) Detroit Lions - DT Tyleik Williams (college: Ohio State)
A fifth-ranked run defence last season just got better after selecting one of the best run-stoppers in the draft with Williams.
The Third-team All-BIG 10 selection recorded 46 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks last season. While he's not primarily known for having top-tier pass rushing capabilities, he put up a stellar 88.6 run-stuffing grade for the Buckeyes last year, taking over 400 snaps lining up over the B gap.
29) Washington Commanders - LT Josh Conerly Jr. (college: Oregon)
Who was once rated as the best offensive lineman in the country coming out of high school, standing at 6'5" 311 lbs, Conerly Jr. was a Third-team All-American and First-team All-BIG 10 last season.
He eventually finished the season as a finalist for the Joe Moore Award (best offensive lineman) after starting all 14 games at left tackle, giving up just one sack and two quarterback hits in 523 pass blocking snaps.
30) Buffalo Bills - CB Maxwell Hairston (college: Kentucky)
Posting the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.28) of any player at the NFL Combine, Hairston joins a 24th-ranked Bills pass defence that desperately needed to make a secondary selection here.
In 2023, he led the SEC with five interceptions and went on to earn Second-team All-SEC honours. He missed five games last season with a shoulder injury but was a vocal leader for the Wildcats.
"Buffalo is getting the ultimate competitor and someone who can get Josh Allen the ball back." - Hairston
31) Kansas City Chiefs (traded to the Philadelphia Eagles) - LB Jihaad Campbell (college: Alabama)
In a swap of picks, the Eagles moved up one spot to take First-team All-SEC selection in Campbell, who led Alabama last year with 111 tackles along with 11.5 tackles for loss and five sacks.
At 6'3" 235 lbs, and received the highest overall grade (82) among all linebackers, the Super Bowl champion Eagles just added another possible stout defender from the SEC.
32) Philadelphia Eagles (traded to the Kansas City Chiefs) - LT Josh Simmons (college: Ohio State)
Someone who might've been a top 10 pick had he not torn his patellar tendon in his left knee that forced him to miss 10 games last season, Simmons still managed to receive the Honourable Mention All-BIG 10 honours after starting six games for Ohio State.
He played all snaps at right tackle during his freshman year at San Diego State, but was converted to left tackle in his two years at Ohio State. This past year, Simmons didn't allow a single sack or quarterback hit in over 150 pass blocking snaps.
Should he stay healthy, he could be Patrick Mahomes' solidified left tackle for years to come.
