(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)


17. NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

The Browns could use an impactful player for the inside of their line.

Williams flashed interior rush ability in 2021 when he had five sacks and 16 tackles. In 2023, he played solid football, recording 54 tackles, three sacks and five passes defended. Williams (6-2, 290) made a number of impressive plays against Notre Dame, getting the better of left tackle Joe Alt.

18. NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State

The Cowboys could consider adding more long-term corner talent. DaRon Bland will be in the last year of his contract in 2025, and it could be tough for Dallas to afford Bland and Trevon Diggs.

Hancock totaled 41 tackles, two forced fumbles, two sacks, two interceptions and four passes defended in 2023. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder possesses good size and upside.


19. NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Earnest Greene III, OT, Georgia

Seattle could use more offensive line talent.

Greene was Georgia’s starter at left tackle in 2023 and played well. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder fits with some other Bulldogs left tackles who have not been typical edge protectors in terms of size, but he is strong and athletic.


20. NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State

The Rams could look to add a true No. 1 corner for their defense from the 2025 NFL Draft.

In 2023, Burke totaled 24 tackles, an interception and eight passes defended. He recorded 34 tackles and five breakups in 2022. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Burke has NFL size, but he has some technique issues that he needs to clean up.


21. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets might be looking for tight end weapon.

Michigan had more experienced tight ends, but Loveland was so good that he forced his way onto the field. In 2023, he caught 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder is capable of producing more if he played in a passing offense. Loveland has the potential to be a riser.

22. NFL Team Logo for Packers Green Bay Packers: Gentry Williams, CB, Oklahoma

Green Bay could consider adding more cornerback talent to go with Jaire Alexander.

Williams notched 30 tackles, one pass batted and three interceptions in 2023. As his experience grows, Williams (6-0, 182) could be a riser.

23. NFL Team Logo for Falcons Atlanta Falcons: Kelvin Banks, OT/G, Texas

The Falcons could consider adding an understudy for Jake Matthews.

Banks played well as the starting left tackle for the Longhorns in 2023 and as a freshman in 2022. At 6-foot-4, 324 pounds, Banks has adequate size, but some might view him as having more of a guard-type body – depending on how long his arms are.


24. NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

The Texans have Stefon Diggs entering free agency after this season. Diggs is aging, declining and expensive. Here’s an potentially impactful weapon for C.J. Stroud.

Arizona had an impressive 2023 season featuring a dangerous passing attack. Jacob Cowing was a known factor, but McMillan emerged as a playmaker during his sophomore season. In 2023, McMillan caught 90 passes for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had 39 catches for 702 yards and eight scores as a freshman. The 6-foot-5, 210-pounder McMillan has mismatch size for the NFL.


25. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Abdul Carter, OLB, Penn State

If Trenton Simpson doesn’t lock down a starting spot as a replacement for Patrick Queen, the Ravens could look for a linebacker to pair with Roquan Smith.

Carter notched 49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, five passes defended and one interception in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder has quickness and upside to develop.


26. NFL Team Logo for 49ers San Francisco 49ers: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma

The 49ers grab some linebacker youth.

Stutsman (6-4, 241) is a tough linebacker for the Sooners, making a lot of tackles and some splash plays for his defense. In 2023, he totaled 104 tackles, three sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles and three passes defended. In 2022, he recorded 124 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and five passes broken up. Team sources said Stutsman is very athletic, very fast and very instinctive. They stated they felt he has good size and length, but lacks ideal strength and physicality. They called Stutsman a less strong, more finesse version of Pete Werner.


27. NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Christian Wilkins is in Las Vegas, and Miami needs an impactful player to replace him.

It took time for Grant to work his way onto the field behind Kris Jenkins. However, Grant really flashed as a sophomore. In 2023, Grant put up 29 tackles, four passes batted, 3.5 sacks and an interception in backup duty. The 6-foot-3, 339-pounder has a good skill set with big-time upside.

28. NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia

The Bills add a corner to be a true replacement for Tre White.

Everette has a good skill set and a ton of upside to develop as he gains experience. In 2023, the sophomore corner played well for the Bulldogs, registering 29 tackles and five passes broken up. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder could take over as Georgia’s No. 1 corner in 2024.


29. NFL Team Logo for Lions Detroit Lions: Ethan Burke, DE, Texas

The Lions signed Marcus Davenport and have Josh Paschal entering the third-year of his deal, as well as a designated pass rusher in James Houston. Still, Detroit could consider adding another three-down starting defensive end to go with Aidan Hutchinson.

Burke played well in 2023, recording 41 tackles, one forced fumble and 5.5 sacks. He ate up the Alabama offensive line in Week 2. The 6-foot-6, 257-pounder has upside to grow as he gains experience.


30. NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Malachi Starks, S, Georgia

The Chiefs could be looking for a safety upgrade next April in the 2025 NFL Draft.

In 2023, Starks racked up 52 tackles, three interceptions and seven passes defended. He recorded 69 tackles, two picks and seven breakups in 2022. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder’s size gives him versatility.


31. NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Landon Jackson, DE, Arkansas

Unless Nolan Smith breaks out, the Eagles need to find multiple young edge-rush talents.

The 6-foot-7, 280-pound Jackson is strong at the point of attack with good length to keep blockers from getting into his chest. In 2023, Jackson recorded 44 tackles, 6.5 sacks and a pass broken up. He has upside and could emerge as a nice prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.


32. NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: Sonny Styles, S, Ohio State

The Bengals could consider adding a safety upgrade. Their secondary has been without an impactful player since losing Jesse Bates.

Styles has flashed real ability and a special skill set that could lead to him being a difference-making pro player. In 2023, he recorded 53 tackles, two sacks and one pass batted, plus he was very good in pass coverage. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder is a big safety who moves like a smaller player. He could turn into a special prospect prior to the 2025 NFL Draft.
