MIAMI, April 23 (UPI) —<\/span> The final version of my 2025 NFL mock draft features four trades involving a group of the most high-profile prospects from the 2025 NFL Draft class.<\/p>\n

Cam Ward<\/a> remains my projected No. 1 overall pick, with his path to the Tennessee Titans<\/a> practically paved after the franchise announced that they will not trade that pick. Heisman Trophy<\/a> winner Travis Hunter should land with the Cleveland Browns<\/a> at No. 2 overall.\n<\/p>\n

My projected first round features seven edge rushers, six offensive linemen, five defensive backs, four defensive tackles, three wide receivers, two tight ends, two running backs, two quarterbacks and Hunter, who plans to keep playing wide receiver and cornerback at the next level.<\/p>\n

These projections are based on my personal evaluations from game film, the NFL scouting combine, pro days and interviews, as well as information from personnel executives and other talent evaluators. Some players have moved up or down in the order, or entirely out of the first round, since my initial mock draft<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears<\/a>, New York Giants<\/a>, Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos<\/a>, Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, Miami Dolphins<\/a> and Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> are the teams I project to make trades in the first round. Several veteran players also could be involved in draft-day transactions, including Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey<\/a>, who were both made available by their respective teams.\n<\/p>\n

The 2025 NFL Draft will be held from Thursday through Saturday in Green Bay, Wis.<\/p>\n
