2025 NFL Draft: CBS Sports shakes up mock draft after Senior Bowl

The Reese’s Senior Bowl and Shrine Game have concluded, which means CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson has released his latest updated mock draft ahead of the NFL Combine later this month.

Notably, Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter has fallen out of the top five to compensate the positional needs of other teams. His No. 1 overall pick is a quarterback, but the one he chose may cause some controversy among fans, too.

Here’s how the 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up entering the second week of Feburary:

1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB

Wilson has Miami quarterback Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans over fellow top QB Shedeur Sanders, as well as other potential choices like Penn State‘s Abdul Carter.

Playing with Incarnate Word, Washington State, and Miami across five seasons, he tallied 18,189 yards, 158 touchdowns, and 37 interceptions on a 65% completion percentage. He finished his lone season at Miami with All-American honors, as well as being named ACC Player of the Year, and a finalist for The Heisman Trophy with career-high numbers across the board.

2. Cleveland Browns – Mason Graham, DL

If the Cleveland Browns end up losing Myles Garrett this offseason in a trade, boosting their defense becomes an instant priority. Acquiring someone of Mason Graham’s stature early in the draft will go a long way in aiding that effort.

At Michigan, Graham has been nothing short of dominant during his three seasons in Ann Arbor. In all, the star defensive lineman accumulated 108 total tackles, nine sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble throughout his career.

3. New York Giants – Shedeur Sanders, QB

If selected No. 3 overall, Shedeur Sanders will be the second quarterback taken off the board during April’s Draft.

The fit makes sense, as Sanders certainly thrives in the spotlight having excelled during his two years at Colorado. In this season alone, Sanders erupted for 4,134 passing yards, 37 TD passes and four rushing scores while completing 74% of his pass attempts.

4. New England Patriots – Will Campbell, OT

The New England Patriots need to protect quarterback Drake Maye, and Will Campbell would certainly help do that. The versatile offensive lineman could start at multiple positions for the Bears.

Campbell anchored the LSU offensive line this past season while becoming a consensus All-American. He would be a solid addition for the Patriots with the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Abdul Carter, EDGE

Abdul Carter has been a dominating force for Penn State throughout his time in Happy Valley. All told, he spent three seasons with the program, amassing 173 total tackles, 23 sacks, five forced fumbles and one interception. Carter totaled 12 sacks in 2024 alone.

Something that might endear Carter to NFL teams was his willingness to play through injury in the CFP Semifinals against Notre Dame. Despite the Nittany Lions falling short, Carter was a game-wrecker while dealing with an upper-body injury. He finished that game with five tackles and a sack.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Travis Hunter, WR/CB

The Heisman Trophy winner was dominant at wide receiver and cornerback for Colorado and is expected to be a weapon on both sides of the ball in the NFL.

Offensively, Travis Hunter totaled 1,258 yards and a Big 12-leading 15 touchdowns in 2024. As a defensive back, he added 36 tackles and four interceptions. He will bring a unique skillset to Las Vegas, or whichever team drafts him.

7. New York Giants – Tetairoa McMillan, WR

Tetairoa McMillan ranked third in the nation with 1,319 receiving yards to go with eight touchdowns in 2024. He will be a top option for whoever is under center for the New York Giants next season under head coach Brian DaBoll.

He’s expected to be the first true wide receiver taken off the board.

8. Carolina Panthers – Mykel Williams, EDGE

Williams spent three seasons with Georgia, helping the Bulldogs win a national championship during his freshman season. It was the catalyst for the explosive career he’d have in Athens.

In 40 career games, Williams totaled 67 tackles including 21.5 for loss and 14 sacks. He posted a career-high five sacks during the 2024 season this fall, doing so in the fewest number of games played – missing a pair due to injury.

9. New Orleans Saints – Will Johnson, CB

Expected to be the first true defensive back taken off the board, according to Wilson’s projections, former Michigan star Will Johnson has the potential to be a staple on a franchise’s defense wherever he ends up come April for the foreseeable future.

Over his time in Ann Arbor, Johnson elevated to become arguably the top corner in all of college football. All told, he finished his career with nine interceptions, including a school record three pick-sixes.

10. Chicago Bears – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT

Banks is widely regarded as one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the draft after a successful career at Texas. In three seasons with the Longhorns, he played in and started 42 total games. He won the 2024 Lombardi Award and the 2024 Outland Trophy.

As he heads to the next level, Banks will look to continue bringing consistency on an every-down basis. He was remarkably consistent for Texas during his career and has considerable upside as a professional prospect.
