The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 14 victory over the Tennessee Titans simplified the 2025 NFL Draft order slightly, making it essentially a two-team "race" for No. 1 overall. Because of their weaker Strength of Schedule (one of several tie-breakers used by the NFL), the New York Giants would be picking first over the fellow two-win Las Vegas Raiders to kick off the festivities this spring. Things get muddied quickly after that, however, with six teams currently checking in at 3-10. Therefore, while the college football regular season may be over, there is still a lot of NFL action remaining to determine the final selection order. Given their woeful records, both the Giants and Raiders are understandably on the lookout for a gifted quarterback. Smart teams won’t force a selection of a signal-caller just to appease the fans, however. This class of quarterbacks simply is not as talented as recent years. As such, teams taking the Best Player Available strategy could mean that cornerbacks and linemen — both offensive and defensive — will dominate the first round. In fact, no one should be surprised if tight ends are the most popular "skill position" this year. Here is our latest mock draft.
