The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books. As the rest of this year's draft rolls on, we're tempted to look ahead. The 2025 NFL Draft doesn't have nearly the quarterback sizzle that 2024 did, but it's another terrific year for receivers, a bounce back crop for defensive linemen and running backs, and of course will play stage to the fate of Colorado superstars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. It's difficult to put together a mock draft a year in advance (when this year's draft is only one round in), but it's a lot of fun to start to dream and a great way to highlight some of the top talent in the world of college football through the NFL Draft lens. We took 2024 team futures and inverted the results to find the worst teams and incorporated 2024 first-round trades where information was available.
