The 2025 NFL Draft is just over two months away, so there’s still a lot of time for draft boards to change. Inevitably, the information gathered at next week’s NFL Scouting Combine will lead to plenty of shuffling. Who tested off the charts? Whose medicals raised red flags? Whose interviews impressed evaluators? We’ll learn a lot next week in Indianapolis, but before that happens, we’re going to have a little fun with our first beat writer mock draft of the offseason. Our NFL reporters gathered virtually, with each of them representing the team they cover. Writers were permitted to trade picks, and while many tried to execute moves up and down the board, only one deal materialized in our first mock draft — but it was a significant one.
