NFL Mock Draft predictions: Latest first round projections, picks for 2025 draft

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 NFL draft begins next week, with the Tennessee Titans kicking off the seven-round selection process with the No. 1 pick on April 24.

The Titans continue to be linked to Miami's Cam Ward with the top pick, directly or indirectly.

From there, the draft's top storylines will take hold. Is Colorado's Shedeur Sanders going to be picked in the top 10 or face a lengthy wait in the first round? How many quarterbacks will be selected in the first round overall? Is Boise State's Ashton Jeanty the lone running back to be selected in the top half of the first round?

This week is the calm before the storm, before the trades and selections fly around next weekend.

Here's the full roundup for this week's experts' mock drafts.
