The NFL offseason can seem endless at times, so it’s crazy to think that the 2025 NFL Draft will finally begin less than a week from now. The billions, if not trillions, of mock drafts you’ve read — thanks for that, by the way — will be rendered meaningless as the real thing will be underway, and we’ll all turn our focus toward how the players chosen will impact their teams in 2025.
This is my final mock before the draft, and the last one is always the most difficult. With earlier versions, you sometimes have a little fun with it or come up with possible surprises that could lead to dominoes falling elsewhere. However, with the final one, there’s a part of you that wants to be right.
So this is it. This is my best guess. I made these picks based on what teams need, as well as all the available information. It will almost assuredly be wrong, but what if it isn’t?
The 2025 NFL Draft will take place from April 24 to 26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including daily mock drafts, consensus prospect rankings, biggest team needs and more.

Why Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic draft-day slide to Browns might be the best thing for big-name rookie QB
Imagn Images Shedeur Sanders and his father, Deion, made a habit of touting destiny during the Colorado quarterback's fateful 2025 NFL Draft weekend. Passed over by big-market franchises in the top five? No problem; Shedeur was destined for a better team anyway. Unclaimed after the entire first round? Unbelievable, sure, but it must have happened for Shedeur's benefit. Overlooked again and again and again, all the way until pick No. 144 in the fifth round, on the final day of the draft, by the same Cleveland Browns who chose another quarterback over Sanders two rounds earlier? Chalk it up to God's plan.There is something admirable about taking such blows in stride -- trivial as they may be in the grand scheme of life. After all, the knock on the Sanders name has always been that the family is too showy. […]
