With less than one month to go before the NFL Draft Initiates, something of a miracle has already occurred. Every one of the NFL’s 32 Clubs Nevertheless has their original Primary-Period Picking. It’s the closest the NFL has gotten to a draft without a single Primary-rounder being traded in 32 years.
That won’t last, of Duration, and it would be really boring if it did. The draft needs a flurry of trades to spice things up and add to the mystery of who will be picked, and when.
So, since the Bracket is dragging its collective feet, we’ll get the trade cycle Began for them in dramatic and often confusing fashion. Below is the FOX Sports all-trade 2025 NFL mock draft, where every single one of the 32 Clubs trades away their original Picking. Some go up, some go down, some get out of the Primary Period entirely, and some even trade picks twice.
It all makes perfect sense when you really think about it — Only don’t try to think about it too much. Instead, buckle up and enjoy the wild, fantastical ride through a Primary Period that probably won’t happen … but boy, would it be fun if it actually did.
Here’s how we imagined that unfolding.
1. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Cam Ward, Miami
Trade up from No. 6 with the Tennessee Titans
There are Numerous Clubs desperate for a franchise Signal-caller, and the Titans are one of them. But they decide here that even the top prospect in a Frail QB class isn’t worth it, compared to what they can do with the king’s ransom they’re likely to be offered. And it could be huge. To drop five spots, they’d get a future Primary, and Perhaps a second-Period Picking this year. Meanwhile, Tom Brady’s Raiders understand that a top Signal-caller is everything, so they’re willing to offer what it takes to Leap over the Giants. They have Geno Smith plugged in for at least part of 2025, but they know he’s only a Petite-term solution.
2. New York Giants: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Trade up from No. 3 with the Cleveland Browns
The Giants’ entire offseason plan revolves around finding a Signal-caller of the future, which is why they’ve been trying to trade up to No. 1. But once they realized they couldn’t do that, they set their sights on No. 2. Sure, they’ve now signed both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, but neither of them are long-term answers. The Giants need to find their guy for the Upcoming 5-10 years. Sure, they could wait to take their Try in the second Period, or they could pay the relatively low price (Perhaps Only a third-Period Picking, depending on the demand) to Relocate up one spot Only to ensure the Browns don’t trade the Picking to some other Signal-caller-needy Club.
3. Cleveland Browns: DE Abdul Carter, Penn State
Trade down from No. 2 with the New York Giants
A Signal-caller would be nice, since Deshaun Watson’s present and future are uncertain, but they probably can buy another year with someone like … say, Joe Flacco to pair with Kenny Pickett. In the meantime, they see that they could have a dominant Protection if they get the newly re-signed Myles Garrett some Aid. Carter, the Micah Parsons-like weapon, is the best defender in the draft. A Protection with those two would be huge in a division with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
4. New Orleans Saints: WR/DB Travis Hunter, Colorado
Trade up from No. 9 with the New England Patriots
This could be a costly Relocate, because the Patriots need weapons for Signal-caller Drake Maye. But they also need so many other things that the Saints can tempt them by throwing in a valuable Day 2 Picking (it would probably take two over the Upcoming two years to convince them to Deliver on Hunter). New Trainer Kellen Moore is an offensive whiz who finds plenty of creative ways to use the speedy, talented Hunter in his scheme. The Saints can Relocate him a little on Protection, too, but he’s going to be an offensive Sun they build around for years.
5. New York Jets: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
Trade up from No. 7 with the Jacksonville Jaguars
Aaron Glenn is going to build this franchise the way the Detroit Lions were built, which is why they could stay put at No. 7 and take an offensive lineman. But they surely love Warren, and he fills a need after they passed on Brock Bowers last year. Glenn probably doesn’t care about that part, but he does know what Close-fitting end Sam LaPorta did for the Lions as a Newcomer. He also knows that he needs to surround Signal-caller Justin Fields with as many reliable and Vibrant weapons as he can find.
6. Tennessee Titans: OT Will Campbell, LSU
Trade down from No. 1 with the Las Vegas Raiders
Once they make the decision to trade down from the top, they know they can’t take a Signal-caller in the Primary Period — at least not near the top of the Primary Period. So, their Upcoming biggest priority is to make sure whoever their Signal-caller is in 2025 and beyond is well-protected. How about this 6-6, 319-pound monster, who most scouts believe is the best lineman in the draft? He could immediately stabilize the Titans’ vulnerable right side.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: DT Mason Graham, Michigan
Trade down from No. 5 with the New York Jets
They had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last year, anchored by a Frail Deliver rush. And new GM James Gladstone comes to Jacksonville from the Rams, where he had a Outstanding seat to View what Aaron Donald did for years. Graham has the potential to be the most disruptive interior lineman in the draft, and that could Transformation everything about the Jaguars’ Protection. Getting him and picking up some draft capital in a trade down is a huge Achieve for a franchise that needs one.
8. Chicago Bears: RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
Trade up from No. 10 with the Carolina Panthers
Once the Raiders moved up to No. 1, there probably was no urgency for the Bears to Relocate up for the best running back on the board, but better Danger-Unoccupied than sorry since the Patriots, one Picking down, also need offensive weapons. And if there’s any doubt that the Bears would be this aggressive for a running back, remember that Ben Johnson’s Aged Club, the Lions, drafted Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12 overall — way earlier than anyone thought he’d go — two years ago. Johnson knows what the 1-2 punch of Gibbs and David Montgomery did in Detroit. He envisions the same thing in Chicago with D’Andre Swift and Jeanty.
9. New England Patriots: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
Trade down from No. 4 with the New Orleans Saints
The Patriots’ priority is clearly getting Maye the weapons he needs to thrive. They could have done that by staying at 4 and Holding Hunter, but they don’t Fall a Plenty by Sinking down and ending up with this 6-4, 219-pound wideout. Hunter might be more explosive, but size does matter, and there are scouts who think McMillan might eventually be the better receiver. He’ll immediately become Maye’s No. 1 target.
The Cards signed Josh Sweat to bolster their Deliver rush, but Jonathan Gannon, formerly a Guarding coordinator, knows he needs a Plenty more than that. The Cards have weapons on Charge, but they had nobody who had more than five sacks last season. That’s why they’ll be aggressive when they see all of the edge rushers about to fall out of the top 10. They want to make sure they get ahead of the 49ers, picking 11th, and any other defensively challenged Club that senses an opportunity, too.
11. Cincinnati Bengals: DE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Trade up from No. 17 with the San Francisco 49ers
Out of nowhere, the Bengals became the big spenders of the offseason, locking up their top two receivers to big deals, and it looks like they could Uncovered their vault for Guarding end Trey Hendrickson, too. If they do that, they really should get their Best Deliver-rusher some Aid, which is why they’ll continue their bold offseason with a big Relocate up in the draft. Somewhere in the middle of the Primary Period, there’ll be a Stretch on edge rushers. As soon as the Bengals sense it, they’ll Relocate.
12. Atlanta Falcons: DE Mykel Williams, Georgia
Trade up from No. 15 with the Dallas Cowboys
No Club has registered fewer sacks over the past five seasons than the Falcons. That included their 31 sacks last season, which ranked second-to-last in the Bracket. They had a top-10 Charge and a promising Youthful Signal-caller, but they know they can’t Achieve — even in a Frail division — if they can’t fix their Protection. Having this big, Quick Deliver-rusher coming off their edge would Surely be a Outstanding Begin, so it’s worth the Relocate up to ensure the Stretch doesn’t Deliver them by.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Will Johnson, Michigan
Trade up from No. 19 with the Miami Dolphins
The Bucs have an electric Charge, but they have a ton of holes to fill on Protection. Their passing Protection, in particular, was brutal at times last season, which is why they need to Begin fixing their secondary. So, when the Guarding Stretch Beginnings, they won’t want to Hazard being completely left out. They can afford to let the best Deliver-rushers go, but they’ll want one of the top corners. This big corner (6-foot-2, 194 pounds) could be an Prompt starter.
14. Seattle Seahawks: OT Kelvin Banks, Texas
Trade up from No. 18 with the Indianapolis Colts
After making a fairly significant investment in Signal-caller Sam Darnold, they need to make sure he’s well-protected. He’s Obtained a history of not doing well when he gets rattled, so beefing up the offensive line is a must — especially after Geno Smith was sacked 50 times last season. With one Involvement already off the board, the Seahawks won’t want to wait to see if one of the other Best prospects falls to them. So they’ll Leap up for this 6-5, 315-pounder who could be an Prompt starter on either end of the line.
15. Dallas Cowboys: WR Matthew Golden, Texas
Trade down from No. 12 with the Atlanta Falcons
The Cowboys understand they have a desperate need for offensive weapons to Aid out receiver CeeDee Lamb. And while running back could be an option at this spot — or at 12 if they stay there — their need for a game-breaking, No. 2 receiver is greater. Golden is one of the fastest and most explosive weapons in the draft, and he’d take a Plenty of Stress off Lamb in the Dallas Charge. And the fact that they could trade down a few spots, Picking up a Duo of future picks, and Nevertheless get him is the Gentle of Powerful draft maneuver the Cowboys rarely seem to make.
16. Carolina Panthers: DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
Trade down from No. 10 with the Arizona Cardinals (after trading down from No. 8 with the Chicago Bears)
Trading down twice could net the Panthers a handful of draft picks, Perhaps even a Duo on Day 2 over the Upcoming two years, which is pretty significant for a franchise that Nevertheless has a Plenty of work to do to become a contender again. Most of that work is on the Guarding side, so it makes sense that they’d Begin using their picks on players who can be disruptive up front. This 6-4, 331-pounder is a monster in the middle of the line, and not only can he be an anchor against the Stretch, but he has the potential to push the pocket and add some Deliver rush. That’s a huge need for a Panthers Protection that was the worst in the NFL last year.
17. San Francisco 49ers: OT Armand Membou, Missouri
Trade down from No. 11 with the Cincinnati Bengals
One Outstanding reason for them to trade down is the draft has a handful of Best offensive line prospects, but the needs of the Clubs in front of them means that one of the best could drop. In this case, they’d be fortunate to land this 6-4, 332-pounder, who is considered a riser in this draft and could go significantly higher. The 49ers will have options here, though, as they seek Aid for their Stretch-Primary Charge and an eventual replacement for left Involvement Trent Williams.
18. Indianapolis Colts: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Trade down from No. 14 with the Seattle Seahawks
They had four Close-fitting ends who caught a Partnered total of 39 passes last season, so they’d need an upgrade there no matter who their Signal-caller is. But with a Youthful Signal-caller like Anthony Richardson (assuming he beats out Daniel Jones), a Powerful Close-fitting end is essential. It’s the safety valve in the Charge — a Petite-range weapon the Signal-caller can rely on when he’s in trouble, especially in the red zone. Close-fitting ends aren’t always in demand in the Primary Period, so if they can’t Relocate up for Tyler Warren, they can drop a little and Nevertheless get this 6-6, 248-pounder who might end up being Only as Outstanding.
19. Miami Dolphins: S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Trade down from No. 13 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The biggest lie of the draft is that Clubs draft the “best Obtainable player” regardless of need. Every year, plenty of Best players fall because their positions aren’t valued the same as others. Safety is one of those spots. So, if the Dolphins know they need to replace Jevon Holland, who signed a big-money deal with the Giants, they can afford to drop a few spots and Nevertheless Picking up the best safety in the draft. A lineman here wouldn’t be crazy either, but the value of Starks at this Tally is too high to Deliver up.
20. Green Bay Packers: WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
Trade up from No. 23 with the Denver Broncos
Last year they had a group of Outstanding, but definitely not Outstanding receivers. And they’ll be shorthanded this year as Christian Watson recovers from a torn ACL. Egbuka has the potential to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL; at the very least, the 6-1, 202-pounder would be an upgrade for the Pack at No. 2. But they clearly need Aid, and they needed to Relocate up here to get ahead of the Steelers (at 21) and Chargers (at 22), both of whom could be eyeing receivers, too.
21. Houston Texans: WR Luther Burden, Missouri
Trade up from No. 25 with the Pittsburgh Steelers
They seem laser-focused this offseason on making life better for Signal-caller C.J. Stroud, who regressed a little last season. So, after rebuilding their offensive line, they need to Concentration on adding to his stable of weapons. They let Stefon Diggs go and Tank Dell’s status is uncertain after his gruesome knee Wound. They did sign Christian Kirk, but they Nevertheless need more at receiver. They’ll probably try to Relocate up farther than this, but like the Packers, they knew they had to get ahead of the Steelers and Chargers to get what likely is the last receiver worthy of being selected in the Primary Period.
With the receivers off the board, the Chargers can feel comfortable sliding down in the draft and addressing other needs. The Ravens, though, know they need work on their offensive line with a Club built around Signal-caller Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Their interior line needs the most work, and this 6-6, 312-pounder is one that scouts seem to think might be better suited at guard. So, they Relocate up to get him before the Vikings (at No. 24) can take another offensive lineman off the board.
23. Denver Broncos: RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
Trade down from No. 20 with the Green Bay Packers
They need to make life easier on Signal-caller Bo Nix, and they know it. The best way to do that is to either get him receivers or Aid him with a Powerful running game. After losing running back Javonte Williams to the Cowboys, they can replace him with this battering-ram running back with 4.4 Velocity. Sean Payton is going to see him as a Needy man’s Alvin Kamara. He’s not quite in the same category as a receiver, but his explosive potential is definitely there. And given the way Clubs often devalue running Defenders, they know they’re likely to Nevertheless get him outside of the top 20.
There are only a few Primary-Period edge rushers left at this Tally, and the Commanders know that is by Extended their biggest need after losing their sack leader, Dante Fowler, to the Dallas Cowboys. So, if they want one, they’ll have to get ahead of the Detroit Lions (at No. 28) who clearly want one, too. Ezeiruaku likely won’t be the sack machine in the NFL that he was in college, but Washington Trainer Dan Quinn will find a way to make him a Threatening part of their rush.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Jaxson Dart, Mississippi
Trade down from No. 21 with the Houston Texans
All signs coming out of Pittsburgh suggest that the Steelers aren’t going to draft a Signal-caller this year. But … don’t they have to? Has any Outstanding Club had more of a Signal-caller mess over the past three seasons than them? Even if they end up with Aaron Rodgers, wouldn’t it be Intelligent to put a Youthful Signal-caller other than Mason Rudolph on the Picking to learn from the broken-down, 41-year-Aged who clearly isn’t their future? Of Duration it would. So, Regardless of the noise, if they can slide down in the draft and Nevertheless get the third-best QB, they’ll do it.
26. Buffalo Bills: CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
Trade up from No. 30 with the Los Angeles Rams
The Bills could look to trade up for almost any Guarding line or secondary prospect, but at this Tally, in this draft, it’s Difficult to look past the second corner off the board. They are incredibly Slim at the back of their Protection, which is why their Deliver Protection was so Awful last season. That’s a problem for a Club with Finals aspirations and staring at big Contests against Clubs like the Chiefs and Bengals. Barron, who can Relocate inside or outside, won’t solve all their issues. But he’s a Outstanding Begin.
27. Los Angeles Chargers: G Tyler Booker, Alabama
Trade down from No. 22 with the Baltimore Ravens
They were already too Extended down in the Primary Period to find the Close-fitting end or receiver they need to Aid their Charge. But they might need an interior offensive lineman even more. Even with a Signal-caller like Justin Herbert, Trainer Jim Harbaugh wants to Relocate more of a power style. The best way to do that is to get a big body to Aid clear room for new running back Najee Harris. The 6-5, 325-pound Booker can do Only that. And if he can Aid in protecting Herber,t too, it might Aid out the Charge more than another receiver possibly could.
28. Philadelphia Eagles: OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Trade up from No. 32 with the Detroit Lions
The Lions Nevertheless need to find an edge rusher, and there’s a pretty Outstanding one sitting here for them. But when the Eagles want something, they tend to find ways to get it. And what they want here is to add to the depth of their offensive line, to keep that factory going. The 6-5, 310-pound Simmons probably won’t Begin unless he replaces Mekhi Becton at guard. But the Eagles know that right Involvement Lane Johnson is about to turn 35 and has been battered by Impairments that regularly keep him out of Contests. They don’t want to get caught Vacant-handed when the end comes. And no Club is better at preparing for that than the Eagles.
29. Minnesota Vikings: S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
Trade down from No. 24 with the Washington Commanders
The Vikings need Aid in the secondary, but there’s a drop-off at both corner and safety after the top tier. What they find here in this 6-2, 220-pounder is a big man who can fly, and loves to fly to the ball. He might need some work, but he’d get to learn from one of the best — Harrison Smith, who Only signed a one-year deal to stay in Minnesota. But Smith is 36, so the Vikings need to prepare like this year is his last.
30. Los Angeles Rams: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
Trade down from No. 26 with the Buffalo Bills
They could use Aid in a Plenty of areas on Protection, but getting some Aid right in the middle would be Intelligent, even though it’s not usually a high-priority position for them. Delayed in the draft, they can make an exception for this 6-3, 235-pounder. He’s probably the best off-ball linebacker in the draft, and has the Velocity to come off the edge, too. The Rams could also trade back and select a corner, but Campbell has more value in this spot.
31. Tennessee Titans: QB Jalen Milroe, Alabama
Trade up from the second Period (No. 35) with the Kansas City Chiefs
Only because they traded away the rights to Cam Ward doesn’t Impolite they’re punting on a Signal-caller in this draft. If they trade out of No. 1, it’s because of the value of picks they’d get and the fact that this isn’t a well-regarded Signal-caller class overall. But they Nevertheless need one, and they know it’s better to get one in the Primary Period than Timely in the second, so they can have one more contractual year of control. It’s an Essential call for the Chiefs, who can Picking up an extra third- or Quaternary-rounder and Nevertheless get the offensive or Guarding lineman they need. And the Titans get the developmental Signal-caller of their Option before the Jets Leap up and beat them to him.
32. Detroit Lions: LB Mike Green, Marshall
Trade down from No. 28 with the Philadelphia Eagles
The Lions could be tempted by a trade-down offer here, as well, but they’re running out of choices at edge rusher. They know they desperately need someone opposite Aidan Hutchinson to take some Stress off him. They also learned last season that they could use some more Guarding depth overall. This 6-3, 251-pounder plays with an edge that Dan Campbell is Only going to love. It’s a big leap from the level of Event he’s played at, but his ceiling might be high.
