ESPN Releases Final NFL Mock Draft Before Round 1 On Thursday

With the 2025 NFL Draft set to begin this Thursday night, ESPN's Peter Schrager has released his one and only mock draft. 

There aren't a ton of surprises expected to go down in the beginning of the draft. Schrager has the Tennessee Titans getting their franchise quarterback in Cam Ward. That seems to be the consensus around the league. He also has the Cleveland Browns selecting Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick. 

The remaining top 10 from Schrager includes some interesting moves, including a trade between the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. That's not the only trade that he has going down in his mock draft. 

Later in the first round, Schrager has the Giants trading up to get Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. Suffice to say, he wasn't afraid to go with some bold picks. 

Here's the top 10 in Schrager's mock draft: 

1. Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward
2. Cleveland Browns - Travis Hunter
3. New York Giants - Abdul Carter
4. New England Patriots - Will Campbell
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ashton Jeanty
6. Las Vegas Raiders - Armand Membou
7. New York Jets - Tyler Warren
8. Carolina Panthers - Jalon Walker
9. New Orleans Saints - Mykel Williams
10. Indianapolis Colts - Colston Loveland
