Pro Football Network

We’re halfway through the 2024 NFL season, and some fan bases are already looking ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft to find a remedy for their football pain. I’ve been writing about the NFL for over a decade, and a good portion of that time was spent covering the Detroit Lions, so I’m very familiar with the feeling. That team is living proof that you should never give up hope that your team can pull it together, turn things around, bite off some kneecaps, and take the NFL by storm. For my first mock of 2025, I’m doing one round, no trades, and as usual, I’m using our Pro Football Network Mock Draft Simulator for player rankings and team needs. Atypically, I’ve strayed slightly from our own rankings, trying to find a selection that makes the most sense or best fits the coaches, scheme, or team tendencies. Though it never truly left, draft season is officially underway, and I’m excited to hear what picks you think work best for your team. I hope you enjoy what I’ve put together!
