The 2025 NFL draft features a deep class of talented players with varying levels of readiness. Some may be ready to start right away, while others could require more time to develop into NFL starters. With that in mind, we’ve analyzed each team’s needs and potential selections for this round, using our offensive and defensive player grades, EPA per play, and strength of schedule metrics.

The Bears spent resources in free agency to bolster their interior offensive line, but they need to add an edge rusher as well. Jeanty has a high ceiling as an outside backer with impressive speed-to-contact skills. He’s a physical, route-running threat who will create big plays for his team if he’s given enough space to work.

New England’s front line was a major weakness this offseason, and Mike Vrabel has a good track record of renovating the team’s front four. He could add a versatile defender like Carter here to play 3- and 5-technique in an odd or even front.

The Bills need to find an outside receiver to complement Xavier Worthy, and Golden has the speed to win contested catches downfield. He can run routes with consistency, and he’s willing to fight for every yard against top-tier coverage.
