The best selection each NFL team made in the 2025 draft

Arizona needed to address the defense, and found great value with Johnson in the second round. Injuries are a major concern that caused Johnson to fall beyond the first round, but he could end up as the top corner in the class if he can put the injuries behind.

The microscope was on Atlanta's lack of pass rush last season, but they also needed to address the secondary. Watts was a turnover machine at Notre Dame over the last two seasons with a combine 13 picks, and could step in as a starter immediately.

Green fell to the second round due to serious off-field concerns, but the the Ravens got a first round talent. He recorded 17 sacks at Marshall last season and could be an excellent pass rushing specialist immediately.

The pass rush will be key for Buffalo again, and they need insurance for the injury-prone Joey Bosa. Jackson brings big upside as a 4-3 defensive line, recording 6.5 sacks in back-to-back seasons.

Surrounding Bryce Young with more talent is essential to his development. McMillian has clear star upside, combining a 6-foot-4 frame with elite speed and production at Arizona. He could make a monstrous impact on Day 1.

With the loss of Keenan Allen, Chicago needed a wideout who could find space in traffic and run after the catch. Burden fits that profile perfectly and comes at a discount in the second round after a sub-par junior season at Mizzou.

The Bengals pass rush has declined recently, so adding a player with Stewart's upside was key. He wasn't overly productive at Texas A&M but has the physical traits to be an excellent pass rusher.

Sanders' unbelievable fall in the draft created an opportunity for the Browns, despite already selecting Dillon Gabriel in the third round. While teams might have intangible concerns about Sanders, the production and talent he showed at college are undeniable. The fifth round represents a low risk for a franchise that desperately needed a quarterback.

Revel fell to the third round due to health concerns, but he showed first-round play and physical traits at 6-foot-2. The Cowboys can bid their time with cornerback being a position of strength as Revel gets back into form.

Bryant is a deep threat who ascended in four seasons at Illinois, scoring 17 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He should be able to grow with Bo Nix and contribute in his rookie campaign.

TeSlaa profiles as more of a supplementary receiver but could be just what the Lions need. He's an elite deep ball candidate at 6-foot-4 with 4.3 speed, and averaged 19.5 yards per catch at Arkansas last season.

The second wideout Green Bay drafted, Williams is a major Red Zone target at 6-foot-4. He gives Jordan Love yet another weapon at a position that the franchise has developed well.

Houston drafted Iowa State wide receiver Jayden Higgins in the second round, and were able to land his teammate in Round 3. It was a major position of need, and Noel could contribute in the slot as Tank Dell makes his way back from injury.

It's difficult to find pass-rushing upside in the second round comparable to Tuimoloau's. He fits the Colts' defensive scheme and shows great pass-rushing ability, recording 12.5 sacks at Ohio State last season.

The Jaguars paid a big price to trade up to the second overall pick, but Hunter is a generational talent worthy of the price. He should step in as a key part of the offense immediately, and his ability at corner could also be elite. Jacksonville might have landed what's effectively two players in one.

The Chiefs desperately needed to address the offensive line in this year's draft, and might have landed a foundational left tackle. Simmons fell in part due to injury, but could be available at the start of the season while competing for the left tackle spot.

In a division that includes Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, the Raiders need offensive playmakers. Jeanty is a home run in that regard as the sixth overall pick, with over 2,700 yards from scrimmage last season and great ability as a receiver.

A first-round running back isn't a fit for every team, but it's certainly a fit for the Chargers. The offense hinges on the running game, and Hampton shows a huge upside as a productive back at UNC who can also be utilized as a receiver.

The Rams have done an excellent job developing pass rushers recently, and Stewart could be next as a nice Round 3 value. He had 30 sacks over four seasons at Coastal Carolina and Michigan, and should step into the team's pass-rush rotation early.

Miami is seeing turnover on the defensive line again this year, and needed to add youth. Grant could be the nucleus as a run stuffer with plus pass rush ability, as he showed over the last two years at Michigan.

While the Vikings have an elite wideout pairing with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, their depth is lacking. Adding another weapon for J.J. McCarthy to grow with can only help, and Felton showed elite production with Maryland.

The Patriots would have been okay sticking with Rhamondre Stevenson, but found more upside with Henderson. The Ohio State alum shows dynamic ability and wasn't overused in his four seasons in college. He should step in as an immediate contributor.

The Saints defense has been getting old quickly, and Stutsman has the upside to be a starter in the fourth round. He had more than 100 tackles in three straight seasons at Oklahoma.

The Giants like their combo of Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary, but Skattebo adds another dimension as a powerful runner with good pass catching ability. He's a safe bet as at least a third down back.

Moore has extensive experience in five seasons at Alabama, and was highly productive for much of that time. His lack of size is a concern, but he has a great chance to develop into a starter.

Campbell is a definite first-round talent with big upside as a pass rusher, recording five sacks at Alabama last season. Philadelphia has had excellent success with the draft strategy, and might have found a top 10 talent.

Sawyer was a productive team leader at Ohio State, recording nine sacks last season. He doesn't have early-round physical traits, but the production goes well with players Pittsburgh has developed in the past.

San Francisco's drafting of defensive linemen has been hit-or-miss in recent seasons, but Williams looks like a shoo-in as a 4-3 defensive end opposite Nick Bosa. He was productive at the Georgia defensive line factory, and has elite physical tools.

The physically gifted Milroe needed a situation where he could take his time to develop, and Seattle certainly qualifies. He made more mistakes passing last season, but has the arm strength and mobility to develop into a starter.

Morrison fell to the second round after tearing his ACL last season, but is otherwise a first round talent. Tampa Bay has done well developing young secondary talent and might have found a starter in 2025.

The attention was on the Tennessee offense with the addition of Cam Ward, but Winston is a sneaky good add to the defense who could start immediately. He comes at a discount after a knee injury but showed high upside previously at Penn State.

Amos spent time at three college programs, and developed into a ball hawk last season at Ole Miss with three interceptions. He should step in as a regular contributor for a defense that needed help at the position.
