2025 NFL Mock Drafts

[Canthony]

I really like Jordan James. He was one I watched several weeks ago and wondered why more people weren't talking about him. I think it's about his 40. At his size, you'd want him to be faster than 4.55, but he's strong and runs tough. 

There are other day 3 backs like that. Montrell Johnson Jr, Jacory Croskey Merritt, Tahj Brooks. I would not at all surprise me if the NFL pulled a couple starters from day 3 of this class.

I like him as well. Im surprised he wasn't faster, but we all know that isn't the end all be all. He just runs well. Patient and knows when to hit the holes with his burst. I would take him in Purple all day. 

JCM I like a lot, but I think he goes higher than people think. Tahj Brooks, I have watched, I am indifferent and can't seem to make out what it is. The Vikings have the luxury of waiting on a RB and that is a good problem to have with the draft being so deep at the position.

A guy can dream, right? If Henderson fell, would be absolutely ecstatic for this scenario. Zero shot, however.

This is Zierlein's 3.0 Mock. Interesting. Also mocks where I think Sanders is going to go: mid-to-end of round 1. And somebody is going to get a great TE in Colston Loveland.

I’ve been comparing him to Atwater, Easley…I went too far back. 

He’s Sean Taylor. Same size. Same traits.

Don’t believe me?

4. DEMETRIUS KNIGHT, South Carolina (6-1 ½, 236, 4.51, 3): Four-year starting quarterback in high school. Spent first four of six collegiate seasons at Georgia Tech, and actually was moved to quarterback in spring ball 2021 before returning to linebacker. “I liked him better than Campbell,” one scout said. “Really looks the part. Can play mike or will. Very strong. Plays with great leverage at the point. This guy is a striker. When he hits, the play ends. He can run, can play all three downs. I thought he was a first-round talent.” Entered the portal after five games in 2022 when Ramblin’ Wreck coach Geoff Collins was fired after four games. Started 12 games at Charlotte in 2023 and then 10 at South Carolina in 2024, winning the Gamecocks’ defensive MVP award. Served as a captain last season, too. “He’s on the rise,” a second scout said. “He played well. He’ll probably end up being about a third- or fourth-round pick.” Finished with 229 tackles (17 for loss), 4 ½ sacks and 10 turnover plays. Arms were 32 5/8. “Like his size and speed and explosion,” a third scout said. “Played tough against the run. When he hits you, you go backwards. Instincts were not natural, but he’s relatively new to the position. I like the player a lot but I don’t see him as a top guy. I see him more as a good fourth-round pick.” Started just 22 of his 61 games. Never started a game at Georgia Tech in 3 ½ seasons. From Locust Grove, Ga. Will turn 25 in July.
