NFL Draft 2025 Mock Drafts and Scouting Reports
The Ringer is ready to dive deep into the NFL draft 2025 with big boards, mock drafts and scouting reports that break down player stats and team needs.
The first 18 teams to be eliminated in the Wild Card round draft next, followed by the conference runners up (who pick before the Super Bowl champions). The teams that lost in the Divisional and Conference Championship rounds then choose based on their record.
Cam Ward is a clear top pick because of his talent and situation, but there’s no consensus on the next few players to take. Daniel Jeremiah says Ward’s rushing ability makes him a potentially generational back, while Mike Clay suggests the more elusive Mason Graham is a good fit for an NFL offense with the speed to evade blocks and strength to outlast offensive linemen.
Wide receiver has evolved into a top-heavy position, and this class is no different. Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb and Puka Nacua are all slated for high target shares, and each offers intriguing rushing upside.
The Cleveland TE situation is also as loaded as any in the league. David Njoku finished as the TE6 last season and could be a top-10 option again this year. And then there’s Jordan Reed, who remains a great bet to score touchdowns in the red zone. Identifying trustworthy TD scorers for wideouts is crucial in fantasy, and this article delves into how to find them by studying target distribution, efficiency and more.
