2025 NFL Mock Draft: Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter the top two picks; Cowboys take QB to replace Dak Prescott

Shedeur Sanders made huge strides in his first year as an FBS QB and he'll be in the conversation with several other players to be the first quarterback drafted

Imagine if I told you five years ago that not only would Colorado have two players drafted in the first round, but they'd have a chance to be top-10 picks. Hunter is a special talent who looks like an NFL star on both sides of the ball.

Mykel Williams is a powerful pass rusher with positional versatility, excellent size and still has room to improve in pass coverage as he continues to mature.

Harold Perkins can play all over the defense and in two seasons logged 13 sacks and 7 forced fumbles.

JT Tuimoloau can take over games at times with his high motor, athleticism and flashes of speed to power. He'll need to play with more consistency in 2024, but he has a chance to be special.

Beck was getting some buzz late in 2023 but decided to return to Georgia, where he'll have a chance to be QB1 a year from now.

Johnson is a prototypical perimeter corner in that he's long, physical and plays with suddenness. He's a difference-maker, both at the catch point and as a tackler.

Burke embraces press-man coverage, he stays in phase -- and in position to challenge for the ball at the catch point -- and plays with physicality throughout route.

Ward would've likely been a top-100 pick had he declared for the 2024 draft; a strong showing for the U could catapult him into the Round 1 conversation.

This class isn't particularly deep at offensive tackle (not yet, anyway), but the guard group has some talent; Booker has elite play strength and often finishes plays with his opponent ending up on the ground. He shows a good ability to reach block, pull, and be effective flipping his hips in pass protection.

Umanmielen is twitched up, flashing abrupt/quick in movements, and has a spin move that puts offensive tackles in a blender. He's stronger than he looks, and his good hand usage and leg drive allow him to win early in the rep. He's also an asset in coverage both as a spy and from the slot.

Ewers decided to return to Austin for 2024; he consistently throws with anticipation and will wear out defenses on second-level throws. He also layers the ball well, throws an accurate deep ball and will navigate the pocket well while keeping his eyes downfield. He needs to play with more consistency, but when he's on, he looks the part of a franchise QB.

Corleone is a twitchy controlled mover who has outstanding strength with very good speed and quickness. He's a plus-run defender with a quick first step and plays with violent hands.

Egbuka played through injuries last season and decided to return to school. At his best, he's an explosive receiver who has good hands and who also provides something in the return game.

At 6-foot-6, Thomas is a huge target who flashed glimpses last season of being able to take over games.

Jackson is a long, thick, explosive blocker who has a quick first step and good speed to pull as a lead blocker in space.

Williams has some twitch in his giddy-up. He plays with heavy hands, and his low center of gravity allows him to win the leverage battle early in the rep against interior offensive linemen. He plays with an incredibly active motor, too.

Morrison is a long corner who had 3 interceptions in 2023 and 6 as a freshman the year before.

Carter was the more versatile and athletic of the Clemson LBs -- comparable athleticism to Trenton Simpson, just not as big. He offers much more position flexibility than Trotter Jr., and while not as big as former first-rounder Isaiah Simmons, he is used in a similar jack-of-all-trades role.

Stewart is a dynamic athlete with top-end speed, change-of-direction ability, and great hands. He can accelerate quickly off the line of scrimmage using a variety of different releases and can quickly stack defenders.

Banks is an athletic physical tackle who plays with outstanding strength and surprising quickness. He's a patient pass-blocker who plays with awareness and can mirror defenders with solid footwork.

The former Texas A&M transfer only played in five games last season, but he has the tools to be a top-flight corner if he can stay on the field and put it all together.

Jackson has rare length and athleticism, and he has the versatility to play on the edge or kick inside.

Milum is an athletic tackle who plays with good technique as both a run and pass blocker, and he has the potential to take his game to another level with a strong 2024 season.

Milroe is one of the best athletes in this class, and if he continues to make the same strides in 2024 that we saw over the second half of the 2023 campaign, he could find his way into the first round.

Mondon is between Quay Walker and Channing Tindall in terms of where his game is heading into 2024 season. He's in the same conversation athletically, and is already solid vs. the run. He just needs to improve his awareness in coverage.

Gray is an experienced, athletic tackle who shines in the open field because of his mobility and surprising quickness.

Sawyer had a chance to be a top-100 pick had he declared for the 2024 draft; he flashes his short-area quickness and change of direction off the edge. He'll need to get stronger at the point, but he has first-round traits.

Turner had a breakout campaign in 2023, finishing the season with 10.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. He's an athletic, bendy defensive lineman with positional versatility; he can align as a 3-4 DE but also has the length to play inside the next level.

Oliver glides in his movements; he can come downhill with purpose and is a wrap-up tackler in
