The 2025 NFL Draft cycle is in full swing. The East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl are in the rearview mirror, and the NFL Scouting Combine starting now in Indianapolis. This week will provide plenty of intel regarding which prospects have untapped juice, and which ones require a further evaluation of their tape in order to justify a selection early in the draft.
Ahead of one of the draft’s cycle’s most pivotal weeks, here is the first mock draft from yours truly with fresh editions headed your way on a regular basis. At this stage in the draft cycle, there’s still much to find about the prospects and teams’ needs since free agency hasn’t yet occurred, so there won’t be any trades in this mock. However, later editions will feature such moves as the 2025 draft picture becomes more clear. Enjoy!
For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on “With the First Pick” — our year-round NFL Draft podcast with analyst Ryan Wilson. You can find “With the First Pick” wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc.
The 2025 NFL Draft is to take place from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly mock drafts and a regularly available look at the eligible prospects.
