Today is the day! The NFL Draft is among us – the future of the NFL is lining up and waiting with bated breath to see where they will end up starting their careers. While some things are almost certain going into tonight, this is the most wide-open the first round has been in a long time. This is a night to look forward to – and a night that is sure to be full of surprises.
With that said, here we go with my final mock draft ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft First Round tonight.
With just days away from the 2025 NFL Draft, here is how I see the First Round, and my analysis of all my project first round picks.
The NFL Combine provided us with several answers, confirmed some beliefs going in, and helped to start painting the picture for the 2025 NFL Draft which is just two short months away. As we start to head on that way, I’ll be providing even more context into each team’s options, who I think will be taken, and try to predict where the stars of college football will be playing next season as they make the shift to the pros.
With the Super Bowl behind us and the NFL Combine in just a few days, its officially time to start Mock Draft Season. While a lot is still to be determined (free agency, combine results, the pre-Draft trades), this is a perfect time to start taking a look at what all 32 NFL teams could be doing during the final weekend in April. With that, we will kick if off with my first official mock draft of the season!
Tonight, the Alliance of American Football has the chance to change the model of football, forever. Previously, college was the make-or-break for football players. One chance to make the NFL. Otherwise, your potential career is left up to chance.
With the Alliance of American Football, the brainchild of Charlie Ebersol, a developmental league, at the professional level, is alive. Attempted previously with the XFL (which will soon be back in 2020), developmental football was never an option – gimmicks, calendar placement, and television reach made a league financially impossible. Now, it has a chance. Filling the void left between the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft, the AAF aims to provide fans with an enjoyable 21st century style of game – faster paced, more data, more fun. It is also a return to normalcy – what happens on the field is what we care about; less penalties, less referees dictating games, and less arguments.
