Kozora: Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 Mock Draft (Final Version). My final Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 mock draft. Last best-guesses of what the team will do starting Thursday night.

49ers Should Avoid Drafting CB Will Johnson. The NFL draft is just around the corner. Soon, we will all be witnessing the San Francisco 49ers making their 11th pick. It's unclear what direction they will take. They can either go with a defensive tackle, edge rusher, offensive tackle, or even a cornerback. If it is a cornerback , they need to avoid one of the top prospects. The 49ers should avoid drafting Michigan cornerback Will Johnson. He is an amazing talent who would be a great addition to the 49ers. But he has injury concerns, and it isn't just one thing. Albert Breer of The MMQB revealed it in his latest piece today. "Michigan CB Will Johnson has a knee issue that's been flagged," Breer wrote. "It shouldn't affect him in the short

Jets Add Superstar Defensive Lineman In Latest Mock Draft. In the eyes of many, the New York Jets will choose between three prospects at pick No. 7 in the NFL Draft. Those three prospects are Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron, Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, and Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou. Membou would replace the losses of Morgan Moses and Tyron Smith across the offensive line. Barron would fill a void in the cornerback room that was left by D.J. Reed's decision to leave in free agency. Warren would replace Tyler Conklin, who also left in free agency. Any of these prospects would be a huge upgrade for the Jets.

The Saints' offseason moves this year have included re-signing Chase Young and Juwan Johnson, signing Brandin Cooks and Justin Reid, and restructured a handful of deals among other moves.

Buffalo added Dane Jackson and Tre'Davious White in free agency, but a long-term solution at cornerback opposite Christian Benford is necessary.

This mock NFL draft has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking cornerback Trey Amos in the first round. The Bucs have a need for a cornerback of the future and a current backup. We're in the droll of the off-season, the week before the 2025 NFL Draft, so what does that mean? Another stupid mock draft where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers end up doing something entirely different than what everyone expects, because that's just the way it is (things will never be the same). The Bucs—who finished with a 10-7 regular season record and fourth consecutive NFC South title—have the luxury of not having any super glaring needs, just a few positions that could use some depth or future starters. Consensus seems to have General Manager Jason Licht and Head Coach Todd Bowles taking a defensive player, which is fair as their defense was the far weaker group last year, but with receivers Mike Evans and Cade Otton on the final year of their contracts they could try to get ahead of those issues, especially with strong classes at the wide receiver and tight end positions.

Falcons add veteran quarterback amid Kirk Cousins trade rumors. The Atlanta Falcons appeared to fire off a signal ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft at quarterback. Their newest signing could officially help push Kirk Cousins out. Atlanta and head coach Raheem Morris have signed Easton Stick away from the Los Angeles Chargers. The franchise announced the signing Monday afternoon . Stick spent his entire career with the Bolts. He arrived as a fifth rounder in the 2019 NFL Draft. But Stick carried an astonishing 49-3 record at North Dakota State into the league. Stick spent his time backing up Justin Herbert. However, he emerged as a Chargers fan favorite during the preseason. Now he's adding depth behind QB1 Michael Penix Jr. — and signaling a Cousins trade is coming.

NFL Mock Draft: Chiefs Draft Protection for Mahomes. The Kansas City Chiefs have a couple of days before the NFL draft begins, and they have to decide who they will take in the first round at 31st overall. Selecting a prospect so late after an embarrassing loss in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles may feel like rubbing salt on the wound, but there's still a chance they'll be able to draft a starting-caliber player so late in the first round. With so many notable players on the defensive side of the ball walking away in free agency, it's clear to see why some mock drafts predict they'll take a defensive back like Will Johnson. Unless a prospect with immense value drops to them, there should be no excuse as to why they don't draft someone to give Patrick Mahomes protection along the offensive line.

Former general manager Tom Telesco relied on Zamir White, who showed promise in 2023, and Alexander Mattison, whom the team signed on a cheap deal before the season. Between injuries and flat-out underperformance, neither eclipsed 450 rushing yards, and White contributed less than 200. Now, with new general manager John Spytek making decisions for the franchise, most expect the Raiders to select Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick.

Broncos great identified Pat Surtain as a potential HOF'er. Last year, the Denver Broncos made arguably their most important draft selection in recent memory when they picked quarterback Bo Nix at No. 12. Pat Surtain II has developed into maybe the most talented player on the Denver Broncos roster. While promoting his work with Positive Athlete with Colorado Preps last week, Champ Bailey offered a few thoughts on what makes Surtain so great and what he saw his ceiling as before he even played a down for the Broncos as a rookie in 2021.

Chargers' top pick called out before NFL Draft, could see his job stolen. The Los Angeles Chargers have some pretty vital decisions to make heading into the NFL Draft, and perhaps none is more important than providing Justin Herbert with more weapons. Outside of Ladd McConkey, Herbert doesn't really have a single dependable target in the aerial attack, and that's thanks much in part to the massive disappointment that has been Quentin Johnston. The Chargers selected Johnston in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he has fallen flat over his first couple of seasons, and Jason Reed of Bolt Beat feels that the 23-year-old could potentially lose his job depending on what Los Angeles does in the draft this week.

Check any mock draft and you're almost certainly going to find quarterback Cam Ward, defensive end Abdul Carter, and cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter in the top three. After that, it gets murky although there is still one more pick that seems set in stone: the Jacksonville Jaguars have been widely expected to select defensive tackle Mason Graham at fifth overall.

The position Chicago Bears can't and haven't ignored in this draft. While everyone talks about running back, offensive line, defensive line, tight end and possibly safety for the Bears with their four picks between 10-72, there is a position few discuss. It would make complete sense for them considering what Ben Johnson's history is with an offense, and that would be at wide receiver but slot receiver in particular. As anyone can see, they didn't sign slot receiver Keenan Allen back. Slot acquisition Olamide Zaccheaus has never had more than 45 catches -- former Bears slot receiver Anthony Miller did better than that with 52 and 49 catches his last two years before his career went down the drain with a playoff game ejection.

Stefon Diggs (WR - HOU)

Patriots Predicted to Land Electrifying 22-TD Weapon. The New England Patriots need to add weapons all over the place, and while their hole at wide receiver remains prominent even after the acquisitions of Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, they could use help in their backfield, as well. The running back duo of Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson was very disappointing in 2024, leading to new head coach Mike Vrabel stating that the Patriots will probably look to select a halfback at some point in the NFL Draft next week. Fortunately for New England, this draft class is absolutely loaded with talent at running back, so the Pats should be able to come away with a stud, even if they wait until Day 3.

Drake Maye (QB - NE)
4/21/25 3:00 AM -
Analysis: Breaking Down OT Armand Membou as a Potential Patriots Draft Target. The only instance where Membou has some issues in pass protection is vs. speed-to-power. If that's the biggest issue on his pass protection tape, Membou is in good shape to handle the rigors of pass protection in the NFL. As we mentioned in the introduction, Membou would likely make the switch from right to left tackle to protect QB Drake Maye's blindside if the Patriots draft him.

Najee Harris (RB - PIT)
4/21/25 2:30 AM -
Chargers talk about RB NFL draft plans after Najee Harris signing. It's no secret that the Los Angeles Chargers are looking for more offensive firepower. While he's not considered one of the top ballcarriers in the league, Harris does have four 1,000-yard rushing seasons under his belt, which is something that shouldn't be scoffed at. Harris stands at 6'1, 232 pounds and won't be explosive or elusive, but can get those tough yards when need be. The Chargers have 10 picks to work with in next week's draft and one of those could be used on a running back to pair with Harris.
