2025 NFL Mock Draft Picks: Emeka Egbuka, Carson Beck, Luther Burden III

While we may have shut the door on the 2024 NFL Draft, and NFL Mock Draft season, that doesn’t mean NFL Draft talk will stop. We now open the door to next year’s event, the 2025 NFL Draft. Let’s dive into my way-too-early 2025 NFL Mock Draft picks and predictions. Here are all of the first-round picks and predictions from my initial 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Below we dive into a few notable picks that should make a splash in fantasy football.

2025 NFL Mock Draft

3. Denver Broncos: Luther Burden III (WR – Missouri)

We’ll see if Box Nix starts for the Broncos this upcoming season. My guess is that he will, but only time will tell. Regardless, this offense needs an elite pass-catcher, and there may not be a better one in the country than Luther Burden from Missouri. He had 725 yards after the catch last season and is just a game-changing wide receiver.

5. New York Giants: Carson Beck (QB – Georgia)

Depending on how the season goes, the Giants could end up with the first overall pick. Regardless, I think they’ll do whatever it takes to get in position to grab a quarterback in the first round. Right now, I could see Georgia’s Carson Beck being my top-ranked quarterback and a top-five player on my board if the draft were today. He stands tall in the pocket and can drop the ball into a bucket. His accuracy really stands out, as he completed 76.1% of his passes last season.

27. Cincinnati Bengals: Emeka Egbuka (WR – Ohio State)

It’s another draft cycle, and it feels like another year of talking about Emeka Egbuka as a prospect. He made the right decision to return to school, but all eyes will be on him at Ohio State this season. As a route runner, Egbuka finds openings against zone coverage, and his 86.1% open target rate (per PFF) justifies that. There are a lot of question marks with the Bengals surrounding Tee Higgins. While the team drafted Jermaine Burton, I think adding Egbuka would be perfect for Joe Burrow.
