2025 NFL Draft: Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft includes multiple scorching hot takes

Wide receivers coming off the board

This one is really interesting. Jeremiah has three wide receivers coming off the board.

• Terairoa McMillan: 19th to the Buccaneers
• Emeka Egbuka: 25th to the Texans
• Matthew Golden: 30th to the Buffalo Bills

There isn't much controversy to either Egbuka or Golden going where they did, but McMillan falling out of the top 10, let alone to 19th, is wild and unheard of with mock drafts.

The other is that Missouri WR Luther Burden doesn't make the first round of his mock draft. It's fascinating considering that some have Burden as wide receiver one in this class. The prevailing thought is this wide receiver class is poor and how they come off the board could be really interesting.

Tyler Booker to the Dolphins?

Offensive line is a need for the Dolphins, but is it the right one? To be honest, Booker is a very poor fit. I wrote extensively about it because of Booker's poor movement skills.

The Dolphins taking Booker doesn't make a lot of sense because of the lack of movement skills. Where he does excel is in a phone booth. Booker's strength is unreal and he can move mountains with a single punch. He would open up holes really well with plays like counter and power, but not in the zone runs that Mike McDaniel likes to use.

New Orleans Saints take a different direction at edge rusher

The Saints have a history of taking edge rushers with size and a lot of athleticism. They love their Cam Jordan types. However, the likes of Marcus Davenport, Payton Turner, and Isaiah Foskey haven't panned out.

Even with the coaching staff changes, general manager Mickey Loomis remains, which makes this a really interesting selection. Mike Green is a fascinating prospect, but he is only 251 lbs without great length or power. His selection would signify a major shift in their draft philosophy.

3 running backs in round one

This is a lot of running back depth in this class. Up to 30 running backs in this class will end up with draftable grades. It could end up pushing talented players down the board, but Jeremiah has three of them going in the first round.

• Ashton Jeanty: 21 to the Pittsburgh Steelers
• Omarion Hampton: 22 to the Los Angeles Chargers
• TreVeyon Henderson: 24 to the Minnesota Vikings

Having that kind of talent is excellent in this class, and seeing that many players go in the first round would be a rare sight.

The Ravens do it again

How many times over the years have we seen the Baltimore Ravens end up with high level talents in the NFL Draft because they fall right in their laps? Kyle Hamilton and Tyler Linderbaum are just two of the recent examples.

Jeremiah sent them Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart, who currently sits at the top of my personal big board and could skyrocket up the ranks with a great combine. Stewart is likely to vault up the board with a great week of testing at the NFL Scouting Combine and seeing him fall this far would be peak Ravens.
