Cecil Lammey’s one-and-only first-round mock of the 2025 NFL Draft

The 2025 NFL Draft is finally here! It’s my favorite time of year, and the draft is basically three days of Christmas in April for me. I look forward to this every year, and each year I do one mock draft.

In this mock draft, there are no trades. Currently, no team has traded away their first-round pick, which is unusual to say the least. I believe there could be at least four trades on Thursday, and all it takes is one team to open the floodgates in what I call a “go-get-your-guy” draft.

A few teams want to move up, mainly for Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, but they may not be able to cough up enough to move into the top five. When Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders slides, there will be teams calling to get back into the end of the first round that passed on him early.

Here is my 2025 first-round mock draft. Enjoy.
