The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-9 and eyeing the 2025 NFL Draft.
They need help in a lot of places, but in this edition of the Monday Morning Mock Draft, they get two for the price of one.
1. New York Giants (via trade with Jaguars) – Cam Ward, QB, Miami
It’s official: the Daniel Jones era is over in East Rutherford. The Giants are starting from scratch by selecting the best passer in college football.
2. Tennessee Titans – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
The Titans want to make a splash by taking an exciting quarterback who is nothing like Will Levis. Milroe has a lot of dangerous arms and legs. He also lacks the baggage that Shedeur Sanders carries, and the Titans want to avoid red flags as much as possible.
3. Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
They’ve been linked all season. The ultra-talented son of Deion Sanders of the Silver and Black seems almost inevitable.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (via trade with Giants) – Travis Hunter, WR/DB, Colorado
The Jaguars have a lot of needs. What they don’t do need is first overall, so they trade and take a utility player that they can use in just about every way.
5. New England Patriots – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Drake Maye is on his way to becoming a star. The Patriots are protecting that investment.
6. New York Jets – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
The Jets continue to try to build an identity through their defense by taking a dual-threat, high-motor interior defender.
7. Cleveland Browns – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Browns are in an interesting situation. They have holes everywhere, but they make a smart move and avoid taking risks on a quarterback they are unsure of. They opt for a foundation here.
8. Carolina Panthers – Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
The Panthers are suffering without Brian Burns. They get an advantage with Pro Bowl potential (and then some), since Bryce Young has seemingly played into their future.
9. Dallas Cowboys – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
A Jerry Jones move if ever there was one. A 2,000 yard rusher in college with all the tools to become one of the best running backs at the NFL level, barring injury.
10. New Orleans Saints – Deone Walker, DL, Kentucky
Walker has the tools to be an impact player from day one. The Saints defensive line needs that boost.
11. Miami Dolphins – Will Johnson, CB, Miami
The Dolphins need an offensive line, a defensive line and secondary help. Will Johnson’s tools and ceiling, along with that Michigan pedigree, are too good to pass up in Jalen Ramsey’s twilight years.
12. Cincinnati Bengals – Mykel Wiliams, Edge, Georgia
Pressuring the passer is huge, and finding someone to pair with Trey Hendrickson (or replace him) will be at the top of the Bengals’ shopping list.
13. Indianapolis Colts – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The largest “Help Wanted” sign in Indianapolis is for a tight end. The choice is obvious, since Loveland is undoubtedly the best tight end in this draft. He can be an impact player from day one.
14. Chicago Bears – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Caleb Williams is getting beat up. Your No. 1 quarterback can’t take those kinds of hits.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
A premium pass-rusher for a defense that needs it.
16. Seattle Seahawks – James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
The Seahawks have holes everywhere on defense. However, making quarterbacks uncomfortable is the name of the game, so Seattle is making a splash with what might be the most potent rusher in the draft.
17. San Francisco 49ers – Jalon Walker, LB*, Georgia
Walker is versatile, but he will likely find his place as an edge rusher in the NFL. He makes an already formidable front seven even scarier.
18. Denver Broncos – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Bo Nix needs guns. The Broncos get him an electric SEC receiver who will add vertically to a West Coast style offense.
19. Los Angeles Rams – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Rams want a passer to accompany Puka Nacua and succeed Cooper Kupp. They’re getting elite talent that can be a difference maker from day one.
20. Atlanta Falcons – Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State
An Edge Rusher is No. 1 on the shopping list for a second straight year thanks to a poor draft in 2024. Sawyer is a riser with a big motor to go with a plethora of NFL-friendly traits.
21. Arizona Cardinals – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Just because Kyler Murray can run for his life doesn’t mean he should. duty. The cardinals provide him with essential protection.
22. Washington Commanders – Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech
Marshon Lattimore seemed like one of the top moves at the deadline. Today, that future seems much more uncertain. Commanders must think long term. Delane is a high ceiling prospect.
23. Houston Texans – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
The Texans have a solid roster from top to bottom. Still, they could use some help at the third level. They get that help by taking the top safety in the draft.
24. Los Angeles Chargers – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert are in desperate need of a playmaker. They take a big lifter who can help the offense take a big step forward to make the Chargers true contenders.
25. Green Bay Packers – Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss
The Packers desperately need help on defense. Nolen is a space eater who can clog up the middle and collapse the pocket.
26. Pittsburgh Steelers – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
The Steelers passing game is sorely lacking in weapons outside of George Pickens. Like, painfully.
27. Minnesota Vikings – Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M
Minnesota has a shopping list with plenty of needs, but cornerback is No. 1. They take the best available.
28. Philadelphia Eagles – JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
Tuimoloau could very well rise to a higher place. His ceiling is that of an elite NFL passer. That’s good enough for Philadelphia.
29. Baltimore Ravens – Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama
The Ravens need help inside. They are changing the game to make life easier for Lamar Jackson.
30. Buffalo Bills – Tyleik Williams, DL, Ohio State
The Bills defense could use a boost on the defensive line. Williams can make a big impact against the run.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Travis Kelce is not getting any younger. The Chiefs get his successor. And one more weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
32. Detroit Lions – Tate Ratledge, IOL, Georgia
This explosive Lions offense can thank the best front line in the league. They are looking to extend the life of this wall with a high profile SEC blocker.
