2025 nfl mock draft 2. 0: giants make bold trade with titans to select qb at no. 1

Free agency beckons this week, so here’s the way it looks before the stampede for the Brinks trucks begins. One trade at the top of Serby Mock 2.0 gives Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll a

quarterback of the future for the Giants — if their designated veteran quarterback bridge over troubled waters gets them a future. Woody Johnson’s boys Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey land

themselves a stud for the defensive line. 1. GIANTS (FROM TITANS) CAM WARD, QB, MIAMI (FLA.) Even if Joe Schoen is forced to surrender the 34th-overall pick, and a third-rounder in 2026, and

a non-controlling minority stake in the team if need be. The old upside argument. Chip on his shoulder. Reminds ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky of Baker Mayfield. 2. BROWNS SHEDEUR SANDERS, QB,

COLORADO Assuming Daddy Prime approves of coach Kevin Stefanski. Son of Prime would at least help vaporize the Deshaun Watson stench. Doesn’t need elite arm talent to find a way to win.

Tough as hell. 3. TITANS (FROM GIANTS) ABDUL CARTER, DE, PENN STATE New GM Mike Borgonzi can’t pass on Micah Parsons Lite. Instant double-digit sacker as long as the stress fracture in his

foot cooperates. 4. PATRIOTS TRAVIS HUNTER, CB/WR, COLORADO A dynamic chess piece opposite Christian Gonzalez to combat Josh Allen and a dynamic toy for Drake Maye as well. 5. JAGUARS ARMAND

MEMBOU, OL, MISSOURI A 6-foot-4, 332-pound combine star who could also be moved inside to bludgeon defenders to help Trevor Lawrence. EXPLORE MORE 6. RAIDERS ASHTON JEANTY, RB, BOISE STATE

New coach Pete Carroll might want to let Geno Smith cook, and the draft’s best back lifts the league’s worst rushing attack. Could receiver DK Metcalf reunite with coach and QB? 7. JETS

MASON GRAHAM, DT, MICHIGAN Glenn and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks import help to stop the run alongside Quinnen Williams. 8. PANTHERS JALON WALKER, LB, GEORGIA A 6-1, 243-pound

predator. A mere 32 sacks by Carolina in 2024 highlights that Brian Burns has not been replaced. 9. SAINTS TETAIROA MCMILLAN, WR, ARIZONA A 6-4, 220-pound target with a Drake London comp for

new coach Kellen Moore to help Derek Carr and WR Chris Olave. 10. BEARS WILL CAMPBELL, OL, LSU The trades for OL Joe Thuney and G Jonah Jackson help, but Caleb Williams won’t care about

this 6-foot-6, 323-pounder’s arm length if he can push or supplant LT Braxton Jones, who is entering the last year of his rookie deal. 11. 49ERS TYLER WARREN, TE, PENN STATE Kyle Shanahan

saw the impact that Brock Bowers made as a rookie for the Raiders, and George Kittle turns 32 in October, and Deebo Samuel is a Commander. 12. COWBOYS TYLER BOOKER, G, ALABAMA A

plug-and-play mauler to replace retired Zack Martin. “I make guys not love football anymore,” he says. What would Dexter Lawrence say about that? 13. DOLPHINS KELVIN BANKS JR., OT, TEXAS Can

also move inside. LT Terron Armstead will be 34 and has been mulling retirement. 14. COLTS WILL JOHNSON, CB, MICHIGAN A 6-2, 203-pounder who can match up against Nico Collins and Brian

Thomas Jr. 15. FALCONS MIKE GREEN, EDGE, MARSHALL Raheem Morris desperately needs to juice his 31st-ranked pass rush. 16. CARDINALS SHEMAR STEWART, EDGE, TEXAS A&M A freakish

boom-or-bust 6-5, 267-pound complement for a healthier BJ Ojulari. Zaven Collins was coach Jonathan Gannon’s top sacker (five) in 2024. Free agency could bring Josh Sweat or Joey Bosa. 17.

BENGALS MYKEL WILLIAMS, EDGE, GEORGIA A powerful 6-5, 265-pound run-stuffer who has the tools to evolve as a pass rusher to replace Sam Hubbard and maybe sack champion Trey Hendrickson, who

has asked for a trade. 18. SEAHAWKS GREY ZABEL, G, NORTH DAKOTA STATE Versatile blocker who can play all over the line and replace LG Laken Tomlinson. Geno Smith’s replacement will also need

WR reinforcements with Metcalf trade request and release of Tyler Lockett. 19. BUCCANEERS JIHAAD CAMPBELL, LB, ALABAMA He can cover, he can tackle, he can rush, and he’s 6-3, 235 with 4.52

speed. And Lavonte David is 35 and milling retirement. 20. BRONCOS COLSTON LOVELAND, TE, MICHIGAN A 6-6, 248-pound weapon for Sean Payton and Bo Nix who could be their Travis Kelce. 21.

STEELERS JAXSON DART, QB, OLE MISS He will have a chance to be Mike Tomlin’s quarterback of the future. Could be déjà vu all over again for Justin Fields. 22. CHARGERS OMARION HAMPTON, RB,

NORTH CAROLINA A 220-pound ground-and-pounder with burst who can make an impact for Jim Harbaugh whether J.K. Dobbins returns or not. 23. PACKERS JAHDAE BARRON, CB, TEXAS An ideal

replacement for Jaire Alexander, and the same size (5-foot-10). 24. VIKINGS DERRICK HARMON, DT, OREGON Defensive coordinator Brian Flores has edge rushers, but can use a 6-5, 313-pounder

with 4.95 speed to fortify the interior. 25. TEXANS EMEKA EGBUKA, WR, OHIO STATE A reunion with former Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud, since Stefon Diggs is a free agent and Tank Dell is

rehabbing his gruesome December leg injury. That’s why WR Christian Kirk was acquired from Jacksonville. 26. RAMS MATTHEW GOLDEN, WR, TEXAS Cooper Kupp’s days are numbered, so a 4.29 burner

for Matthew Stafford to complement Puka Nacua. 27. RAVENS MALAKI STARKS, S, GEORGIA A versatile, intelligent playmaker to replace Marcus Williams alongside Kyle Hamilton. 28. LIONS KENNETH

GRANT, DT, MICHIGAN A 6-3, 340-pound run-stuffer alongside Aidan Hutchinson with Alim McNeill (torn ACL) possibly sidelined until October. 29. COMMANDERS WALTER NOLEN, DT, OLE MISS As long

as character issues check out, a disruptive 6-3, 304-pounder who likens himself to Aaron Donald with Jonathan Allen granted permission to seek a trade partner. 30. BILLS JAMES PEARCE JR.,

EDGE, TENNESSEE At 6-5, 243, bulking up on chicken wings shouldn’t affect his 4.47 speed, and Von Miller is on the salary cap chopping block. 31. CHIEFS JOSH SIMMONS, OT, OHIO STATE The

Thuney trade to the Bears and Patrick Mahomes under duress in the Super Bowl means that Andy Reid needs his LT of the future. 32. EAGLES DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU, EDGE, BOSTON COLLEGE Sweat is a

free agent and Bryce Huff was a Super Bowl scratch. Of course, Howie Roseman has his eyes on Myles Garrett …
