The NFL Draft season is here! It’s the perfect time to visit a mock draft website and predict which players your favorite team will select. All NFL scouting departments are working tirelessly to ensure they make the right pick in April. Each team has specific needs and positions to fill in order to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season. Different teams are searching for various player positions or archetypes to effectively build their squads.
Buffalo Bills
Pick: Wide Receiver Keon Coleman, Florida State Seminoles -Grade: B
Miami Dolphins
Pick: EDGE Chop Robinson, Penn State Nittany Lions
Grade: B minus
New York Jets
Pick: Offensive Tackle Olu Fashanu, Penn State Nittany Lions
Grade: C
New England Patriots
Pick: Quarterback Drake Maye, North Carolina Tar Heels
Grade: B
Philadelphia Eagles

Pick: Quarterback Jayden Daniels, LSU Tigers
Grade: A+
Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Offensive Tackle Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma Sooners
Grade: D
New York Giants
Pick: Wide Receiver Malik Nabers, LSU Tigers
Grade: A
The Bills have a variety of options to consider with their draft picks this year. They have pressing needs at the WR, DL, LB, and CB positions. Last year, they chose Keon Coleman, so they will likely focus on their other areas of need this time around. With a late first-round draft position, it seems unlikely that they will make a move to trade up for a player.
Projected Buffalo Targets: Ole Miss DL Walter Nolen, Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell, Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison
The Dolphins faced significant injuries this year, which was reflected in their playoff absence. Miami needs to strengthen its offensive line and improve its defense generally if they want a chance to contend next season.
Projected Targets for Miami: Tennessee EDGE James Pearce Jr., Texas OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Oregon DT Derrick Harmon
The New York Jets have a glaring need at quarterback after veteran Aaron Rodgers was released. The 2025 NFL Draft is not a great year to select a signal caller, and they have many other positional needs.
New York Jets Projected Targets: Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, Michigan DT Mason Graham, Michigan CB Will Johnson
The Patriots believe North Carolina product, Drake Maye to be their quarterback of the future. But all great quarterbacks need a decent surrounding cast. The New England defense improved last season and will continue to improve under new head coach Mike Vrabel.
Projected Targets for New England: LSU OT Will Campbell, Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams, Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter
The Super Bowl champions have a well-rounded roster, but Nick Sirianni and his team are still on the lookout for additional talented players to enhance their lineup.
Projected Targets for the Eagles: North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton, Ole Miss WR Tre Harris, Notre Dame S Xavier Watts
It’s hard to believe how much the Commanders’ situation has changed since this time last year. Back then, they were the second-worst team in the NFC, selected second overall in the draft. Now, after reaching the NFC Championship, they’ve positioned themselves as the second-best team in the conference. However, their performance in the NFC Championship revealed several weaknesses that need to be addressed.
Projected Targets for the Commanders: Texas OT Cameron Williams, Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka, Texas S Jahdae Barron
Jerry Jones and the front office need to improve their drafting significantly compared to last year. The Cowboys had a very disappointing season and must make strong picks if they want to return to contention for the NFC.
Dallas’ Projected Targets: Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, Missouri WR Luther Burden, Georgia LB Jalon Walker
The Giants are focused on strengthening their young core in this year’s draft. Despite a challenging season for New York, 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers showed strong potential. The team is prioritizing positions such as quarterback, offensive tackle, cornerback, and safety in their draft strategy.
Giants’ Projected Targets: Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, Miami QB Cam Ward
