Fansided

● By Cody Williams
Now that we're approaching the midway point of the regular season and the NFL Trade Deadline nears, it feels appropriate that we really take our first dive into a 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Teams like the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and many others are already thinking about how to build through the NFL Draft for either next year or the long-term future or both. There are also far more other teams who feel like they are on the brink. A team like the Dallas Cowboys or Denver Broncos feel like they have key pieces in place but that it also might just not be their year just yet. For them, looking toward the draft can still be valuable as fans eye what they can do to improve moving forward. As for the contenders, well, it's always about how the rich can get richer, right? We're here to replace some quarterbacks, help and protect some quarterbacks and much more as we dive into our first 2025 NFL Mock Draft of the regular season. There's no turning back now.
