NFL Mock Draft 2025

Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Travis Hunter

Nathan Ray Seebeck and Ron Chenoy

Round 1

1. Tennessee Titans

  • Cam Ward, QB, Miami (6-2, 219 pounds)

The Titans are locked into their new franchise QB — a big-armed downfield passer with plenty of athleticism to help support his production in the NFL.

2. Cleveland Browns

  • Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado (6-0, 188 pounds)

The Browns have plans to use Hunter to help their cornerback play opposite Denzel Ward, but they also have a key role for Hunter waiting as a receiver to better complement Jerry Jeudy in a transitional passing game short on weapons.

3.  New York Giants

  • Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (6-3, 250 pounds)

The Giants may be thinking more about taking QB Shedeur Sanders, but they have some veteran bridge options there for now with Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, so they can table QB to a future round or 2026 and just take this dominant disruptor vs. run and pass to raise a promising defense.

4. New England Patriots

  • Will Campbell, OT, LSU (6-6, 319 pounds)

The Patriots need to add some more key targets for Drake Maye, but before they do that, the focus needs to be on shoring up the pass protection on the left side, which Campbell can do for a decade. 

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (5-8, 211 pounds)

The Jaguars might surprise some with this suddenly oft-mocked pick given running back isn't their most pressing need with 2021 first-rounder Travis Etienne Jr., but he has had durability issues and new offensive-minded coach Liam Coen may be looking for the lost thumper to go with Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr.

6. Las Vegas Raiders

  • Mason Graham, DT, Michigan (6-3, 296 pounds)

The Raiders can go in many directions to help Pete Carroll and OC Chip Kelly if Jeanty is off the board, including offensive tackle, wide receiver, and edge rusher. In the end, getting Graham to wreak havoc inside to help Maxx Crosby is a smart, safe bet.

7. New York Jets

  • Armand Membou, OT, Missouri (6-4, 332 pounds)

The Jets need to go back to finding offensive line help after taking Olu Fashanu at No. 11 overall last season, as tackle is still an issue for their new-look offense with Justin Fields under Tanner Engstrand. 

8. Carolina Panthers

  • Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia (6-1, 243 pounds)

The Panthers will be temped by going offense for a wide receiver and defensive for pure edge or tackle help, but the hybrid Walker is their most dynamic option to clean up a terrible defense with his pass-rush pop and big-time range vs. the run.

9. New Orleans Saints

  • Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia (6-5, 260 pounds)

The Saints have been a popular pick to select Williams late in the process, as they need to boost their pass rush behind aging Cam Jordan while they transition to the base 3-4 looks of Brandon Staley. Williams would be an ideal foundation pick.

10. Chicago Bears

  • Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (6-5, 256 pounds)

The Bears should be headed to be using a lot more 12 personnel (two tight ends) with Ben Johnson, and between Warren and Cole Kmet, they can be all set for receiving pop in the middle of the field to replace Keenan Allen.

11. San Francisco 49ers

  • Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss (6-3, 296 pounds)

The 49ers can think about the present and near future of their offensive line and also consider boosting the edge pass rush opposite Nick Bosa, but Nolen has too much Aaron Donald-like pass-rush and run-stuffing upside to ignore this early.

12. Dallas Cowboys

  • Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (6-4, 219. pounds)

The Cowboys will have an eye on what happens at running back and tight end and also have some eyes for the defensive backfield. However, they should be thrilled to land the big, sure-handed McMillan to pair on the outside with slot ace CeeDee Lamb for Dak Prescott.

13. Miami Dolphins

  • Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas (6-5, 315 pounds)

The Dolphins have a major need at offensive tackle opposite Austin Jackson in the wake of Terron Armstead's late offseason retirement. Banks can simply be put in his place to restore Mike McDaniel's athletic blocking prowess.

14. Indianapolis Colts

  • Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan (6-5, 248 pounds) 

The Colts have been tied plenty to Warren and might think about secondary help for defense, but they also can simply pivot to taking the next top receiving tight end off the board to boost their receiving corps with a unique target for Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.

15. Atlanta Falcons

  • Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (6-3, 235 pounds)

The Falcons also can think a lot about more pass-rush juice from the edge or inside, but just like the Panthers needing a ton of defensive help, they can take advantage of Campbell's natural upfield pass rush along with ace coverage skills.

16. Arizona Cardinals

  • James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee (6-5, 245 pounds)

The Cardinals need some pass-rush help, too, for Jonathan Gannon. They have shown some increased interest of late in Pearce's borderline freakish potential in that capacity.

17. Cincinnati Bengals

  • Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas (5-11, 194 pounds)

The Bengals could use a versatile defensive back for their new scheme under Al Golden, as Barron is a flat-out playmaker inside in the Minkah Fitzpatrick mold.

18. Seattle Seahawks

  • Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan (6-3, 331 pounds)

The Seahawks have been looking more at Grant to eat up space and disrupt plenty of plays in the backfield for Mike Macdonald.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-5, 267 pounds) 

The Buccaneers need to also rev up their second-level defense again for Todd Bowles, and Stewart falling would be ideal for his 3-4 front.

20. Denver Broncos

  • Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State (6-1, 202 pounds)

The Broncos have Courtland Sutton and now tight end Evan Engram, but they need a technically-sound route runner to be a reliable go-to guy in Bo Nix's second season.

MORE NFL DRAFT:

21. Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (6-1, 212 pounds)

The Steelers might see their quarterback plan work out well should Sanders indeed slip past the Saints and get to them. He's an accurate, confident pocket passer, the missing piece for their winning offense.

22. Los Angeles Chargers

  • Matthew Golden, WR, Texas (6-0, 195 pounds) 

The Chargers aren't screaming for a defensive need and need to think more about best player available. Golden is tempting to pair with Ladd McConkey as a needed speedy deep threat for the massive arm of Justin Herbert.

23. Green Bay Packers

  • Will Johnson, CB, Michigan (6-2, 202 pounds)

The Packers need to work on improving corner again with Jaire Alexander slipping. Johnson offers them shutdown potential in a big frame.

24. Minnesota Vikings

  • Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (6-1, 197 pounds)

The Vikings will think about best player available, too, including offensive skill, but in the end, Starks fills a key defensive need for Brian Flores after the team didn't retain active playmaker Camryn Bynum.

25. Houston Texans

  • Tyler Booker, G, Alabama (6-5, 321 pounds)

The Texans can explore different positions, including wide receiver and safety, but it would make most sense to improve their interior blocking with whoever they deem to be the best guard available. Booker's Tide connection doesn't hurt for DeMeco Ryans.

MORE NFL DRAFT

26. Los Angeles Rams

  • Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina (6-3, 220 pounds)

The Rams should be a strong candidate to trade down or consider receiving help. If they stay put, Emmanwori is right up there with Starks as a well-rounded, rangy athlete vs. the run and pass.

27. Baltimore Ravens

  • Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State (6-5, 317 pounds)

The Ravens did re-sign Ronnie Stanley, but they still need to address offensive line. Simmons' blend of power and agility says he can be very effective moving inside.

28. Detroit Lions

  • Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-2, 257 pounds)

The Lions should consider guard, here, too, but instead, they can keep up the pass-rush theme to fill that pressing need to give Aidan Hutchinson a relentless, explosive bookend.

29. Washington Commanders

  • Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina (6-0, 221 pounds)

The Commanders might shock a few observers with this pick, but their backfield of Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr. was piece-mealed and too situational last season, on top of durability concerns. Hampton can clean up all of that as a great fit for Kliff Kingsbury's offense, flanking Jayden Daniels.

30. Buffalo Bills

  • Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College (6-2, 248 pounds)

The Bills need to replenish their critical pass-rush rotation for Sean McDermott. Ezeiruaku can give them a strong situational option at first with the upside for more later.

Peter Casey-Imagn Images

31. Kansas City Chiefs

  • Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall (6-3, 251 pounds)

The Chiefs are a little more lenient when it comes to potential off-field concerns. Green would give them a big-time, high-energy producer to play well off George Karlaftis.

32. Philadelphia Eagles

  • Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri (6-0, 206 pounds)

The Eagles should be in the market to upgrade the third receiver spot with a dynamic open-field cog. Burden would fit well between A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Round 2

Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe

33. Cleveland Browns

  • Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State (6-2, 334 pounds) 

The Browns, after landing Hunter to play both ways, can go for a pure defensive prospect to better support Myles Garrett as a quick, compact inside pass rusher.

34. New York Giants

  • Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss (6-2, 225 pounds)

The Giants took care of getting their defensive superstar in Carter and can still make out with a potential franchise QB after passing on Sanders. Dart's big arm and dual-threat ability fits well in Brian Daboll's offense, and he has the mental and physical toughness combination to succeed in New York.

35. Tennessee Titans

  • Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State (6-4, 215 pounds)

The Titans must give Ward some extra help at wide receiver, and Higgins can be his nice-sized, field-stretching alpha over Calvin Ridley in a hurry.

36. Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State (6-4, 320 pounds) 

The Jaguars are committed to improving their running game with the Jeanty workhorse pick, so it makes sense to boost the power blocking in front of him, too.

37. Las Vegas Raiders

  • Jack Bech, WR, TCU (6-2, 215 pounds)

The Raiders, if they go defense in the first round in Graham, will need to invest highly in an extra offensive playmaker for Geno Smith to help replace Davante Adams. Bech is the ideal outside fit to complement Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers.

38. New England Patriots

  • J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State (6-4, 270 pounds) 

The Patriots need to improve a terrible pass rush for defensive-minded Mike Vrabel, and they can go to his alma mater to find a big, powerful option with a history of production.

39. Chicago Bears (from Panthers)

  • Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon (6-3, 310 pounds)

The Bears have been considering beefing up their interior early. Harmon is an ideal run-plugging fit for their scheme.

40. New Orleans Saints

  • Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky (5-11, 183 pounds)

The Saints, after passing on Will Johnson, can go after a big corner after trading away Marshon Lattimore last season. Brandon Staley will like Hairston's physicality and sound technique in coverage.

41. Chicago Bears

  • Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina (6-2, 245 pounds)

The Bears will be looking to round out their linebacker corps better after some free-agent whiffs. Knight can be moved around and make a lot of plays for Dennis Allen in the Demario Davis mold.

42. New York Jets

  •  Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo (6-4, 304 pounds)

The Jets added former Chief Derrick Nnadi to help next to Quinnen Williams, but Alexander has intriguing all-around upside for the position.

43. San Francisco 49ers

  • Grey Zabel, G, North Dakota State (6-6, 312 pounds)

The 49ers need an athletic blocker to upgrade the interior after losing Aaron Banks. Zabel would provide ideal immediate impact at either guard or be their new anchor at center.

44. Dallas Cowboys

  • T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina (6-4, 290 pounds)

The Cowboys, after going wide receiver in the first round, must turn the attention to defense. This big, versatile presence can help them well vs. run and pass.

45. Indianapolis Colts

  • Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame (6-0, 203 pounds)

Watts can give the Colts' defense a much-needed clean-up man who can deliver big plays in every aspect.

46. Atlanta Falcons

  • Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss (6-1, 190 pounds)

The Falcons could use this smart corner with nice size and technique to supplement A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes.

47. Arizona Cardinals

  • Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon (6-5, 311 pounds)

The Cardinals could use a potential upgrade at either tackle or guard. Conerly is a great value here for his rare combination of nasty power and finesse.

48. Miami Dolphins

  • Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas (6-7, 281 pounds)

The Dolphins need to add a little more freakish size to their pass rush, and they will love Jackson's versatility for their 3-4 front.

49. Cincinnati Bengals

  • Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M (6-4, 300 pounds)

The Bengals need to beef up their depth behind re-signed B.J. Hill after taking Barron for the secondary. Turner can maintain their run-stopping strength.

50. Seattle Seahawks

  • Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA (6-2, 225 pounds)

Schwesinger can give them a coverage linebacker to match Ernest Jones and also give them more upfield pop.

51. Denver Broncos

  • Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State (6-0, 221 pounds)

The Broncos can land their new feature back to replace Javonte Williams. Judkins is a strong power runner for early downs and has some untapped receiving upside, too.

52. Seattle Seahawks (from Steelers)

  • Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford (6-2, 206 pounds) 

The Seahawks added Cooper Kupp to offset one wide receiver loss but can benefit from Ayomanor's big-play and red-zone juice to provide an alternative outside to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina (6-2, 193 pounds)

The Buccaneers need to think about adding some cornerback help after moving on from Carlton Davis. Revel's size and physicality are hard to ignore opposite Jamel Dean.

54. Green Bay Packers

  • Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss (6-5, 255 pounds)

The Packers can go for their pass-rush boost here, as they have been attached plenty to Umanmielen for his ability to move around well and produce everywhere for Jeff Hafley.

55. Los Angeles Chargers

  • Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (6-4, 245 pounds)

The Chargers are still in the market for an upside tight end after adding Tyler Conklin for Justin Herbert, and Arroyo has some athletic go-to guy potential.

56. Buffalo Bills (from Vikings through Texans)

  • Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee (6-2, 291 pounds)

The Bills can find another ideal defensive prospect for their front with Norman-Lott, who has great inside pass-rush upside.

57. Carolina Panthers (from Rams)

  • Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss (6-6, 280 pounds)

The Panthers need to upgrade their pass rush big-time, and Ivey gives them a high-floor building block to add to Walker.

58. Houston Texans

  • Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss (6-2, 205 pounds)

The Texans have been watching Harris closely as the potential ideal complementary target to No. 1 Nico Collins.

59. Baltimore Ravens

  • Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame (6-0, 190 pounds) 

Morrison is a technically sound playmaker. The Ravens can steal him as a potential starter down the road.

60. Detroit Lions

  •  Aireontae Ersery, OT, Texas (6-6, 331 pounds)

The Lions need to think of the future at left tackle beyond Taylor Decker, and in the meantime, they can get a strong backup in Ersery given his power and athletic upside.

61. Washington Commanders

  • Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State (6-5, 260 pounds)

The Commanders could afford the "luxury" of Hampton in the first round knowing the pass-rush depth of his class. Sawyer would be a solid, high-energy fit for Dan Quinn's defense.

62. Buffalo Bills

  • Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State (6-1, 197 pounds)

The Bills have coveted Thomas, as his size is a good fit in their coverage scheme. They should be well-positioned to execute that plan.

63. Kansas City Chiefs

  • Alfred Collins, DT, Texas (6-5, 320 pounds)

The Chiefs lost some key pieces in their defensive interior. Collins can give them a little bit of everything with power and strength.

64. Philadelphia Eagles

  • Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon (6-4, 279 pounds)

With Brandon Graham rolling into retirement, the Eagles can take a shot on Burch's untapped, massive run-stopping and pass-rushing potential for his size.

Round 3

Cam Skattebo

65. New York Giants

  • Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State (5-9, 219 pounds)

The Giants have shown a surprising amount of heavy interest in Skattebo, but he can be an important cog to support Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Malik Nabers in the offense. He would be a strong follow-up pick to Dart.

66. Kansas City Chiefs (from Titans)

  • Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College (6-8, 316 pounds)

The Chiefs went a little more for stacking some depth while tabling offensive tackle at first, but they should want to take a shot at their potential future starting right tackle.

67. Cleveland Browns

  • TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State (5-10, 202 pounds)

The Browns can bring Henderson from Columbus to Cleveland to give them a new dynamic workhorse to replace Nick Chubb.

68. Las Vegas Raiders

  • Vernon Broughton, DT, Texas (6-5, 311 pounds)

The Raiders splurged for Christian Wilkins in free agency but are weak at the other tackle. Broughton's size and power can give them some extra inside pass rush in the rotation.

69. New England Patriots

  • Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State (6-1, 215 pounds)

The Patriots should like how Winston can cover a lot of ground and move around well as a playmaking chess piece in their secondary.

70. Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State (6-3, 195 pounds)

The Jaguars have been intrigued by Porter's size in coverage, as it can come in handy in some tough matchups vs. bigger AFC South receivers.

71. New Orleans Saints

  • Mason Taylor, TE, LSU (6-5, 251 pounds)

The Saints need to get some tight end help for Kellen Moore behind re-signed Juwan Johnson, and staying in state for Taylor, son of Jason and nephew of Zach Thomas, makes sense.

72. Chicago Bears

  • Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa (6-1, 224 pounds)

The Bears need their version of David Montgomery to fit in former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's scheme to complement D'Andre Swift well with their upgraded run blocking.

73. New York Jets

  • Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (5-10, 209 pounds)

The Jets need to restore some luster to their slot receiver spot for Justin Fields. Restrepo's savvy route running and hands back up his big college production.

 74. Carolina Panthers

  • C.J. West, DT, Indiana (6-1, 316 pounds)

The Panthers need help on the inside, too. West is a hard-working, interior run-stuffer with unique pass-rush juice.

75. San Francisco 49ers

  • Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss (6-1, 222 pounds)

The 49ers lost Dre Greenlaw in free agency and can look at his replacement in this very active and athletic playmaker.

76. Dallas Cowboys

  • Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan (6-1, 249 pounds)

The Cowboys need to upgrade their pass rush beyond Sanders inside. Stewart can develop into a high-upside active playmaker to complement Micah Parsons well.

77. New England Patriots (from Falcons)

  • Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State (6-3, 305 pounds)

The Patriots have been looking at his quickness and versatility up front — two big assets in Mike Vrabel's scheme.

78. Arizona Cardinals

  • Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia (6-6, 308 pounds)

The Cardinals can further go to work on getting better options for the offensive line after opting for Conerly and Ratledge can end up being their version of Cam Jurgens for Gannon.

79. Houston Texans (from Dolphins through Eagles and Commanders)

  • Cameron Williams, OT, Texas (6-6, 317 pounds)

The Texans are rebuilding their offensive line with new pieces. Williams would give them a strong contingency at either tackle with untapped athletic potential.

80. Indianapolis Colts

  • Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee (5-8, 200 pounds)

The Colts can upgrade their backup situation for Jonathan Taylor with this dynamic change-of-pace with good receiving upside.

81. Cincinnati Bengals

  • Jonah Savaiinaea, G/OT, Arizona (6-4, 324 pounds)

The Bengals have had their eye on this nice-sized, versatile prospect to give them depth and contingency across four positions.

82. Seattle Seahawks

  •  Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green (6-3, 241 pounds)

The Seahawks need more receiving impact from the position behind Noah Fant for Klint Kubiak's offense to further help Sam Darnold.

83. Pittsburgh Steelers

  • R.J. Harvey, RB, UCF (5-8, 205 pounds)

The Steelers have Jaylen Warren with Najee Harris walking in free agency, but they may be pivoting to more speed and quickness overall in their backfield.

RJ Harvey
USA Today

84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Marcus Mbow, G/C, Purdue (6-4, 303 pounds)

The Buccaneers moved on from Ryan Jensen well with Graham Barton, and they now need to consider their inside depth with a strong, mean prospect who can possibly replace left guard Ben Bredeson sooner rather than later.

85. Denver Broncos

  • Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland (6-2, 312 pounds)

The Broncos can use this pick to bolster depth for their three-man base front, and Phillips can give them a little of everything with his blend of power and agility.

86. Los Angeles Chargers

  • Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina (6-4, 254 pounds)

The Chargers need to tap into pass rush support rather early given Joey Bosa is gone and Khalil Mack is coming back at 34. Kennard's high energy will be loved by Jim Harbaugh and Jesse Minter.

87. Green Bay Packers

  • Wyatt Milum, G/OT, West Virginia (6-6, 313 pounds)

The Packers are rather thin at tackle and could also use a promising guard prospect, making Milum's athletic frame a good value for them.

88. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Vikings)

  • Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State (5-10, 194 pounds)

The Jaguars added Dyami Brown in the mix with Gabe Davis behind second-year superstar Brian Thomas Jr., but Noel would be the ideal quick slot replacement for traded Christian Kirk.

89. Houston Texans

  • Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas (6-0, 180 pounds)

Bryant has been eyed by the Texans to raise the playmaking quotient of their secondary behind a solid pass rush.

90. Los Angeles Rams

  • Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville (6-3, 264 pounds)

The Rams don't have much pass-rush depth behind Jared Verse and Byron Young, and Gillotte can play anywhere outside in their front seven.

91. Baltimore Ravens

  • Andrew Mukuba, S, Texans (5-11, 186 pounds)

The Ravens have freelancing Kyle Hamilton and solid Ar'Darius Washington, but they're more of cornerback-coverage hybrids while Mukuba can give them more of a cleanup man.

92. Seattle Seahawks (from Lions through Jets and Raiders)

  • Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary (6-5, 311 pounds)

The Seahawks could use a developmental tackle and go for a different Grant for their offensive line based on his size-hands-feet combination.

93. New Orleans Saints (from Commanders)

  • Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky (6-7, 331 pounds)

The Saints could also beef up their defensive interior for Staley so this would be a strong, big 1-2 punch with Williams in the first round.

94. Cleveland Browns (from Bills)

  • Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas (6-2, 214 pounds)

The Browns take their shot at quarterback in the third round with Ewers over Jalen Milroe and others. They have a good idea of how well he can fit in the offense of Kevin Stefanski and Tommy Rees.

95. Kansas City Chiefs

  • Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State (6-1, 205 pounds)

The Chiefs can work to keep adding more big-play threats for Patrick Mahomes, making them very tough to cover with another dose of downfield speed.

96. Philadelphia Eagles

  • Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas (6-5, 241 pounds)

The Eagles also could develop a tight end to potentially take over from Dallas Goedert. Helm is a well-rounded option who can start in time.

97. Minnesota Vikings (compensatory)

  • Anthony Belton, OT, NC State (6-6, 336 pounds)

The Vikings can get some key offensive line depth with this experienced super athlete.

98. Miami Dolphins (compensatory)

  • Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama (6-2, 217 pounds) 

The Dolphins might shock some by taking another Tide QB behind Tua Tagovailoa, but this improves the No. 2 situation well and also gives a Jalen Hurts-like contingency to Tua's potential sequel to Carson Wentz.

99. New York Giants (compensatory)

  • Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson (6-1, 225 pounds)

The Giants go back to the Tigers' defense, where they got Dexter Lawrence. Carter can boost their run defense right away with untapped coverage potential. 

100.  San Francisco 49ers (special compensatory)

  • Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State (5-11, 186 pounds)

The 49ers couldn't retain Charvarius Ward in free agency. Burke gives them a potential all-around coverage steal.

101.  Los Angeles Rams (special compensatory)

  • Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon (6-5, 247 pounds)

The Rams need to think about a tight end to groom behind Tyler Higbee. Ferguson's athleticism to make big plays after the catch will intrigue Sean McVay.

102.  Detroit Lions (special compensatory)

  • Sebastian Castro, CB/S. Iowa (5-11, 202 pounds)

Castro can provide key depth at multiple secondary positions with some upside as a nickel or dime cover man.
