Even though I haven't gotten a chance to do in-depth breakdowns of defensive players and offensive linemen, it won't stop me from putting together a predictive mock draft for the Green Bay Packers!

Quick update regarding my content for the rest of this draft cycle and the next few months:
April 19, 2025 at 3:24 PM
While others are much higher on Ole Miss WR Tre Harris, I'm concerned about how quickly he could pick up a full route tree in the NFL. If he is able to run a more diverse route tree, he could turn into a solid contributor. However, if he can't he could struggle getting snaps.

Though it's not clear which position Colorado WR/CB will play in the NFL, I feel confident in him becoming a star at either position. If he focuses his attention at just WR, I could see him becoming one of the best receivers in the NFL before the end of his rookie contract.
April 18, 2025 at 12:58 PM
There's been a lot of talk about Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan falling in the draft but I feel there is likely more smoke to this than real fire. If he does actually fall in the draft, I could see a team getting a great value selection, especially if they use him at the Z.
April 17, 2025 at 2:02 PM
TCU has recently had some disappointing WR prospects, but I do think TCU WR Savion Williams is worth monitoring. I'm not as confident in his switch to RB as others, but he has good athleticism and release skills which could help him become a playmaker with the right coaching.
April 16, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Though I'm not as confident in Illinois WR Pat Bryant's as others, I do see a quality player. He likely won't ever become a WR1 for a team but I could see him one day become a very good WR3, maybe a low-end WR2 for a team.
April 15, 2025 at 9:16 PM
There's a lot of risk to Texas WR Matthew Golden. However, if a team wants to take a big chance and expects Golden to maintain his momentum from the end of the college football season and playoffs, they might get one of the best receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
April 14, 2025 at 10:16 PM
Though it was a nightmare of a year from a production standpoint for Missouri WR Luther Burden III, I'm still a believer in the talent. I think there's a strong chance he slides in the draft and provide a lot of value if he goes to the right situation and develops into a good WR1
April 11, 2025 at 1:35 AM
Washington State WR Kyle Williams has become a popular sleeper candidate for the 2025 NFL Draft but I personally don't see it.

I think he's a good role player but I've seen him touted as one of the top 5 WRs in the class and I have a hard time seeing him as even a top 10 WR in the class.
April 10, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Iowa State WR Jaylin Noel has been a riser since the combine. While he's a quality player, I wouldn't take him on day 1 like I've seen other people suggest.

Also sorry for the pronunciation of his last name. That's what I get for watching a lot of these games on mute!
April 10, 2025 at 5:41 PM
Iowa State WR Jayden Higgins is a unique player with a special blend of size and fluidity. He has impressive potential to play in the slot and out wide which could make him an easy fit for most offenses in the NFL.
April 8, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Utah State WR Jalen Royals is one of my favorite sleeper receiver prospects of the 2025 NFL Draft and one of my favorite prospects in general. His season and hype were cut short due to a foot injury but he impressed at the Senior Bowl and could really shine in the NFL.
April 7, 2025 at 8:51 PM
TCU WR Jack Bech broke out in 2024 and built on his season with a good Senior Bowl performance. He has now become a popular Day 2 selection in mock drafts. He likely won't ever become a WR, but he could become a big and very reliable weapon for an NFL team.
April 7, 2025 at 4:27 PM
While others were high (and may still be) on Texas WR Isaiah Bond going into the 2024 season, I remained concerned about his ability to take the next step in 2024. Unfortunately, he had a poor year in 2024 and now he is hoping there are still believers in the NFL.
April 4, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Though he didn't live up to the high expectations I had for him this year, Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor still showed off his ball skills, route running, and speed every week. He may not have the makings of a WR1, but he can become a very good WR2 for a team.
April 4, 2025 at 2:30 AM
I haven't seen much buzz about him, but I'm a huge fan of Florida WR Elijhah Badger. He has great athleticism, ball skills, and twitch to become a great player.

He was plagued by poor QB play throughout his college career but I think he could be a steal in the 2025 NFL Draft.
April 2, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka may be limited to the slot but that shouldn't deter teams from taking him in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is potentially the best route runner and one of the most pro-ready WR prospects in the draft and looks like a Day 1 starter.
April 2, 2025 at 1:39 PM
Notre Dame WR Beaux Collins needs to clean up his hands, but he has a great frame and good release and route running technique to become a contributor in the NFL.
March 31, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Arkansas WR Andrew Armstrong isn't a household name, but I think he has the tools to be worth a day 2 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. He may not have as much production in the NFL as he did in the SEC in 2024, but he has the makings to be a solid WR2 for at team.
March 28, 2025 at 10:05 PM
I've been high on Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson for the past couple of years and will likely be one of the highest on him for the 2025 NFL Draft cycle. I think at worst he's a great committee back with the potential to be an every down back if he can stay healthy.
March 25, 2025 at 4:57 PM
My RB sleeper and potentially sleeper for the entire NFL 2025 NFL Draft is Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks. He proved he is more athletic at the NFL combine than some expected and showed great flashes as a receiver and pass blocker. He has all the makings to be a 3 down back in the NFL
March 23, 2025 at 9:57 PM
There has been a lot of hype for RJ Harvey since the combine but I am a bit more cautious with him. I think he is a fantastic player, especially in space. With the right team fit, I think he could be really awesome but I think he is more team dependent than others seem to think.
March 21, 2025 at 2:19 PM
South Carolina RB Raheim "Rocket" Sanders has the physical traits to be a true three down back in the NFL. That could get him drafted higher than expected in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, his injury history and fumbles could scare teams away and lose him potential playing time.
March 20, 2025 at 2:19 PM
Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins had trouble with consistency early in the season but was on fire in the playoffs and capped it off with a great combine. Though he has some deficits, he has the makings to be a very good running back and has one of the safest floors of the class.
