The Super Bowl is over, and the Philadelphia Eagles are the champions of the NFL. Now, we officially enter 2025 NFL Draft season, when every fanbase has hope that next year the confetti could fall on their favorite team. So, let’s jump right into ClutchPoint’s 2025 NFL mock draft 2.0.

With the NFL Scouting Combine (Feb. 27 – March 7) and free agency (March 10) still a few weeks away, we now officially know the final draft order but not crucial information about the prospects or teams’ roster makeup.

Still, with the 2024 season officially over and the draft order set, things have changed since our NFL mock draft 1.0.

In the last month, we’ve learned more about what teams need to win in the postseason and opinions have started to shift on certain prospects based on hard evidence (the Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl) and the takes of “draft experts” who have started releasing their 2025 NFL mock drafts.

So, without further ado, here is the Clutchpoints 2025 NFL mock draft 2.0.

1. Tennessee Titans — QB Cam Ward, Miami

While the 2025 NFL Draft quarterback class is not nearly as strong as last year’s bunch (or possibly next year’s if it features Arch Manning), Cam Ward is a worthy first-overall pick. He has all the athletic and intangible QB abilities to make him a star in this league, which means the Titans simply can’t pass on their shot at a franchise signal-caller.

2. Cleveland Browns — EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State

Whether the Browns trade Myles Garrett or not, picking Abdul Carter, the best player and pass rusher in this draft, is a home run. If Garrett stays, the 1-2 combination will be among the most fearsome in the league. And if he goes, Carter has the ability to develop into Garrett 2.0 down the line, so this isn’t a bad way to start over.

3. New York Giants — QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Because Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen got one more year, it stands to reason that they have to take a quarterback here. Shedeur Sanders’ traits may not jump off the page, but he knows how to play QB and certainly has the pedigree. So now, it’s time to see if Daboll can work that same magic he did with Josh Allen one more time.

4. New England Patriots — WR/CB Travis Hunter

In our 2025 NFL mock draft 1.0, we had an offensive lineman here. However, when the draft falls a certain way, teams have to pivot. Travis Hunter is a game-changer and a unique prospect like the league hasn’t seen in decades. His value on offense and defense will be too much for the Pats to pass up.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars — WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

The Jaguars tried to piece it together for Trevor Lawrence the last few years with the most average of average wideouts like Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, and Gabe Davis. Now, with Brian...
