Longtime ESPN and college football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first mock draft of the 2025 NFL draft season. In the mock, he has the Browns selecting the reigning Heisman winner.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had the Browns taking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. But in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock of the year for ESPN, he had Sanders’ teammate Travis Hunter going to Cleveland and Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

Kiper has released his first official NFL mock draft of 2025, and has predicted where one of the most talked about players will land. That player is Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sander.

In his first mock draft of 2025, Kiper projected two quarterbacks to go in the top three -- along with WR/CB Travis Hunter. That gave the Patriots the pick of the little among offensive linemen and true wide receivers -- plus every defender.

One word that isn’t used to the discuss the 2025 QB class is generational. And that might offer a clue about whom the Titans will target with the No. 1 pick.

Mel Kiper Jr. explains why he has Cam Ward ranked above Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders in his latest NFL mock draft.

Let the NFL mock drafts begin. This week the godfather of mock drafting — ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. — released his first pass at the 2025 NFL mock draft. The New York Giants hold the third overall selection in the upcoming draft and are desperately searching for their next franchise quarterback.
