SYNOPSIS: Unlike the last two years, this year’s NFL draft is not loaded with franchise QBs. While most experts (and gamblers) have Miami’s Cam Ward going to the Tennessee Titans with the #1 overall pick, the next QB may not come off the board until the Steelers make the 21st selection. In comparison, six QBs came off the board within the first 12 picks of the 2024 draft. Last year also was highly unusual because the first 10 picks all played on offense. Based on my mock draft, there should be a more even split with 7 offensive players and 4 defensive players going in the top 10 spots. Lest you think I can’t add, Travis Hunter has All-Pro potential as both a wide receiver and defensive back.
2025 T10B MOCK NFL DRAFT
PRE-DRAFT
NEW METHODOLOGY
For the first six years of T10B mock drafts, I selected players by averaging the draft order published by the experts from media outlets like ESPN, CBS and Fox. Over the next three years, I changed the methodology and started included other factors such as player grades and team needs. I’m apparently better at analyzing numbers than anticipating the actions of desperate GMs, so I went back to my roots and removed any subjective evaluation. This year, I have added a data point based on the betting odds for players to go in particular spots. Based on a blend of other mock drafts, player grades and betting odds, I offer the 2025 T10B Mock NFL Draft.
