The Official Walk On Fan 2025 NFL Mock Draft

I am attempting to do the impossible: predict the entire 1st round of the 2025 NFL draft. Will I get most of these wrong? Absolutely. Let’s give it a shot anyway.

#1 – Tennessee Titans:

QB Cam Ward – Miami (FL)

Cam Ward is going #1 overall, there is no debate here. In last year’s QB class, he’d fall somewhere between Michael Penix Jr. and Drake Maye.

#2 – Cleveland Browns:

WR/CB Travis Hunter – Colorado

If he were just a WR, Travis would be WR1. If he were just a CB, he’d be in the top 3 and possibly the best one. Instead, he’s both and has the endurance to play over 100 snaps per game.

#3 – New York Giants:

EDGE Abdul Carter – Penn State

#4 – New England Patriots:

For starters, I am still in the camp that we should keep Greg Gard. While we had another disappointing exit in the tournament, Gard accomplished a complete 180 in Wisconsin’s identity in one season. In a season picked to finish 12th in the Big Ten, his team was able to grab a 3 seed in the tournament. The question is, will he be able to replicate a quick turnaround for next season? We will be losing 63% of our total minutes just to seniors graduating. Comments from Blackwell and Winter indicate that they will be staying in Wisconsin, but after them, it’s a whole lot of inexperience. If Greg Gard can hit it out of the park with the transfer portal once again, expect another season that crushes preseason expectations.

But at what point does regular season success translate to postseason success? Wisconsin hasn’t made the Sweet Sixteen since 2017, only …
