Now that Ben Johnson is hired, the Bears can focus on building out their roster. Mel Kiper has the perfect pick for Chicago at No. 10.

Kiper has Sanders’ teammate, cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, as the No. 2 pick to the Browns. The Giants hit the reset button at quarterback earlier this season, releasing Daniel Jones after six seasons and turning their eyes to the 2025 draft.

Longtime ESPN and college football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first mock draft of the 2025 NFL draft season. In the mock, he has the Browns selecting the reigning Heisman winner.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projected Hurricanes star Cam Ward to become the third Miami player ever to be picked first in the NFL draft.

Kiper mocked East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. to the Ravens at No. 27 overall.

Should Kiper’s projection hold true, it would be the first time since the 2018 NFL Draft that the SEC failed to produce a top-5 pick. Oklahoma (then in the Big 12) produced the No. 1 overall pick in Baker Mayfield while Georgia’s Roquan Smith was the league’s top selection at No. 8 overall.

ESPN’s draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. released his first mock for the 2025 draft on Wednesday, predicting the first round of picks only ahead of the April 24 draft. It’s loaded with Wolverines. Kiper listed four Michigan players among the top 32 picks, the most of any school.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has finally unveiled his first 2025 NFL Mock Draft, and his pick for the Patriots at No. 4 is interesting.

Rich Eisen says the Ravens ‘are going to be in it every year.’ Former Orioles great Jim Palmer is among those showing support for Mark Andrews. Kyle Van Noy says the Bills’ conservative approach paid off.
