The 2025 NFL Draft is expected to see a significant focus on the trenches, with quarterbacks receiving less attention than anticipated. In this mock draft, 45 linemen are projected to be selected in the first 101 picks, indicating that teams are prioritizing defensive and offensive line talent.
Five trades are predicted in the first round, similar to last year’s draft day activity. The number of compensatory picks is also expected to increase, with five being awarded at the end of the third round. These picks reflect both teams losing key free agents and those hiring minority candidates away from other franchises.
The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine will take place on February 27th, live on NFL Network and NFL+.
