Final NFL Mock Draft 2025: Bears shock with trade up to No. 5 pick

High intrigue and drama surrounding the Giants with the third pick, as well as how far down might Shedeur Sanders slide?

Two trades in the Serby Mock 4.0, one engineered by Giants GM Joe Schoen to secure his Quarterback of the Future after landing edge Abdul Carter with the third pick of Thursday night’s NFL draft.

The new Jets regime adds a right tackle to complete what it expects to be a dynamic offensive line.

1. тιтans

Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.)

No, he’s not a generational talent, but new GM Mike Borgonzi and HC Brian Callahan want better than Will Levis.

2. Browns

Travis Hunter, Unicorn (CB/WR), Colorado

A WR bookend to Jerry Jeudy and third-down ᴀssistance for Denzel Ward. Shohei Two-Way.

3. Giants

Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State

A Fearsome Foursome for Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott to ponder.

4. Patriots

Will Campbell, OT, LSU

As long as Mike Vrabel signs off on 33-inch arms protecting Drake Maye.

5. Bears (from Jaguars)

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

He’d be hailed as Walter Payton Lite by Caleb Williams.

6. Raiders

Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

An uber-athletic RT bookend for Kolton Miller for HC Pete Carroll.

7. Jets

Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

High-character bookend for LT Olu Fashanu to help Justin Fields execute Aaron Glenn’s punishing Ground & Pound.

8. Panthers

Jalon Walker, edge, Georgia

Dynamic undersized heat-seeking missile to help sad sack pᴀss rush.

9. Saints

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

In no universe would new HC Kellen Moore not be interested in a Gronkish weapon for either Derek Carr or Spencer Rattler.

10. Jaguars (from Bears)

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

New head coach Liam Coen turns to a 6-4 target opposite Brian Thomas Jr. to elevate Trevor Lawrence.

11. 49ers

Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The surprising slide ends with DC Robert Saleh landing a partner in crime for Nick Bosa.

12. Cowboys

Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

A 4.29 burner to complement CeeDee Lamb for Dak Prescott.

13. Dolphins

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Jalen Ramsey is trade bait and is replaced by a versatile stud who can play on the outside or as the nickel.

14. Colts

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

A 6-5, 245-pound receiving target for Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.

15. Falcons

Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia

A 6-5, 265-pound run stuffer with upside who will appeal to DC Jeff Ulbrich as HC Raheem Morris needs better than last season’s 31 sacks.

16. Cardinals

Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Ahead of schedule following knee surgery, and guess who coached him and LT Paris Johnson when they were Buckeyes? New OL coach Justin Frye, that’s who.

17. Bengals

Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M

A 6-5, 267-pound athletic freak as disgruntled sack champion Trey Hendrickson could be traded, much to Joe Burrow’s chagrin.

18. Seahawks

Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

GM John Schneider would love this 6-6, 304-pounder who can play all across the OL, making life easier on Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker III.

19. Buccaneers

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

A sideline-to-sideline 2026 replacement for Lavonte David, who can also rush the pᴀsser for Todd Bowles.

20. Broncos

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

If the comp truly is Alvin Kamara, he’s a fit for Sean Payton.

21. Steelers

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Good move not opting for the Green Bay Green Room with Mike Tomlin still held hostage by Aaron Rodgers.

22. Chargers

Kenneth Grant, NT, Michigan

Jim Harbaugh loves him some Michigan Men and loves him some trench warfare.

23. Packers

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Could fall because of long-term knee concerns, but GM Brian Gutekunst might want to sign off on a big corner with instincts to replace Jaire Alexander.

24. Giants (from Vikings)

Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Joe Schoen takes his swing on a Quarterback of the Future. Eli Manning is a fan. And vice versa.

25. Texans

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

A Buckeye reunion with polished, professional weapon for C.J. Stroud to replace Stefon Diggs and rehabbing Tank Dell (knee).

26. Rams

Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

An heir apparent for 33-year-old RT Rob Havenstein.

27. Ravens

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

A high I.Q. free safety to pair with Kyle Hamilton.

28. Lions

Mike Green, DE, Marshall

A 6-3, 251-pound predator bookend for Aidan Hutchinson as Dan Campbell won’t be scared off by character concerns.

29. Commanders

Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College

A long-armed 6-2, 247-pound team captain to replace Dante Fowler Jr. (10.5 sacks).
