Our 2025 NFL mock draft for the first round

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 NFL draft is Thursday and that means it was time for the podcast's yearly mock draft. For the 11th straight year, cohost Seth Cox and I make our predictions for the first round of the draft, including trying to nail down trades.

This edition of the show is that mock draft. We both make our predictions and projections, and we both have the Arizona Cardinals trading back from the 16th pick and making a defensive player selection.

Listen to the show for all the details, while below you can see our mock draft picks.
