4/15/2025 – by James Fedewa
Welcome to the 2025 NFL Mock Draft 1.0 by NationalFanatic.com! In this edition, I dive into team needs, emerging prospects, and bold predictions for the first round. Whether you’re gearing up for the draft or just love speculating about who lands where, this mock draft has something for every football fan. So buckle up, enjoy the read, and let the debates begin!
Enjoy, rip it up… (and please reply back)
| # & Team | Player | Notes |
| 1 Tennessee Titans | Cameron Ward QB Miami (FL) | I would prefer a team to stick with their projects, and try to help Will Levis, but Ward looks like fantastic choice |
| 2 Cleveland Browns | Abdul Carter EDGE Penn State | Shedeur Sanders could be the choice here, but I think Cleveland fans don’t mind Joe Flacco. |
| 3 New York Giants | Travis Hunter CB Colorado | My gut tells me the Giants pass on a QB too, and target BPA. I’m not a huge fan of Hunter at #3 overall, but he’s very good at two positions (WIN). |
| 4 New England Patriots | Will Campbell OT LSU | Sure, the OL prospects are not elite, but Campbell is an upgrade (no matter what). I’d try to trade down here. |
| 5 Jacksonville Jaguars | Mason Graham DT Michigan | Mason is an animal (maybe an alligator) but he’s still a vicious beast. |
| 6 Las Vegas Raiders | Will Johnson CB Michigan | One of my favorite players in this draft. Not sure why Pete Carol would pass on this dynamic CB. |
| 7 New York Jets | Tyler Warren TE Penn State | Warren can block, run and catch. He’ll make both the passing game and running game better. |
| 8 Carolina Panthers | Jalon Walker LB Georgia | Walker is an explosive player and will bring a new intense attitude on the Panthers defense (and can play multiple positions). |
| 9 New Orleans Saints | Shedeur Sanders QB Colorado | Despite Carr’s shoulder injury, he may have been traded. Sanders is their target all along. |
| 10 Chicago Bears | Ashton Jeanty RB Boise State | I do like Jeanty, but he’s still only 5’ 8” – I think he could fall a bit. Here, he stays in the top 10. |
| 11 San Francisco 49ers | Armand Membou OT Missouri | Protect Purdy! (THE END!) |
| 12 Dallas Cowboys | Matthew Golden WR Texas | I really want Dallas to invest in their OL, but speed is a fantastic weapon. 4.29 forty trumps beef. |
| 13 Miami Dolphins | Jahdae Barron CB Texas | J.Ramsey is on the trading block? |
| 14 Indianapolis Colts | Colston Loveland TE Michigan | I’d like to think the Colts go edge, but only if Richardson is their QB. I think it’s Danny Dimes time in Indy, so get him some new weapon. |
| 15 Atlanta Falcons | Mike Green EDGE Marshall | Edge or DT here, so lets get the BPA pass rusher here. |
| 16 Arizona Cardinals | Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss | 3-Tech DT can start right away, and Nolen can be a great interior pass rusher |
| `17 Cincinnati Bengals | Mykel Williams EDGE Georgia | Trey Hendrickson’s replacement? Maybe… |
| 18 Seattle Seahawks | Kelvin Banks Jr. OT Texas | Protect Sam Darnold! |
| 19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Malaki Starks S Georgia | Starks is another draft fav. He can play 3 positions too. |
| 20 Denver Broncos | Tetairoa McMillan WR Arizona | They’re going BPA here, may as get Nix another weapon (even though I do not really think the Broncos need another WR. O.Hampton would be ideal here. |
| 21 Pittsburgh Steelers | Jaxson Dart QB Ole Miss | Pittsburgh need anyone with an arm with their first pick. |
| 22 Los Angeles Chargers | Derrick Harmon DT Oregon | Charges go BPA and stock up in the trenches. Immediate starter, replacing and upgrading Fox. |
| 23 Green Bay Packers | Grey Zabel OT North Dakota State | This guy just looks like a Packer |
| 24 Minnesota Vikings | Omarion Hampton RB North Carolina | He’s an upgrade to Aaron Jones |
| 25 Houston Texans | Josh Simmons OT Ohio State | Could be a steal with this pick |
| 26 Los Angeles Rams | Jihaad Campbell LB Alabama | Another draft fav of mine. The Rams need to shore up their middle D. |
| 27 Baltimore Ravens | Donovan Ezeiruaku EDGE Boston College | Fantastic pass rusher, sorta reminds me of Elvis Dumerville. |
| 28 Detroit Lions | James Pearce Jr. EDGE Tennessee | All the tools in the world, and Dan Campbell can get him to shine (or hate his guts) |
| 29 Washington Commanders | Nick Emmanwori S South Carolina | Kam Chancellor 2.0? |
| 30 Buffalo Bills | Kenneth Grant DT Michigan | Huge DL, perfect fit for Buffalo. |
| 31 Kansas City Chiefs | Shemar Stewart EDGE Texas A&M | Can develop into a premier edge |
| 32 Philadelphia Eagles | Tyler Booker OG Alabama | Beef up the O-Line (sort of the norm in Philly) |
2013 NFL Mock Draft (pre-free agency) by James Fedewa
The NFL off season leaves most football fans with a lonely void of the GOT NO FOOTBALL BLUES. We miss our game, our team and wonder and speculate how we fans can improve our beloved team. With trade rumors, gossip, opinions and speculations flinging across fan-websites & news papers, with no real news reported (other than salary cap cuts and the Alex Smith unofficial trade), no real player interviews are worth watching. So fan cling to the next best thing: the NFL Scouting Combine followed by hundreds of MOCK DRAFTS. I’m an NFL fan, and my favorite team has its share(s) of number ONE overall picks (along with with the worst record in the league), so mock-drafts have been part of my football fan career. I’m a fixer and an idea-man, so I want to figure out the details of how to improve my favorite team (and all of their opponents). Routinely for the last 19 years, I annually guesstimate WHO is going where, what college phenom can help this team and how can you improve all teams. So if you’re dream job is a General Manage of an NFL Team (which is mine dream job), I MOCK DRAFT every teams need as if I’m the General Manager OF THE WORLD (well, not really). The NFL Franchise Tags have been set, so here’s my VERSION ONE of my 2013 NFL Mock Draft:
