NFL Mock Draft Consensus 14.0: New first-round quarterback emerges

Past Mock Draft Consensus:

13.0 |12.0 |11.0 |10.0 |9.0 |8.0 |7.0 |6.0 |5.0 |4.0 |3.0 |2.0 |1.0

The NFL Mock Draft Consensus now includes three quarterbacks among the most popular forecasts of the first round.

Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart has joined Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as the top QBs of the 2025 NFL Draft class.

Having impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine with his arm strength and accuracy, Dart began to appear sporadically in mock drafts. The 6-foot-2, 223-pound senior finally broke through this week with projections ranging from the No. 3 pick — with the Tennessee Titans via trade with the New York Giants — to No. 21 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Offensive skill position players also gained momentum with the mock drafting community.

North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton is now the first-round forecast for the Denver Broncos, cementing his status as the No. 2 RB behind Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, who remains the most popular projection for the Las Vegas Raiders' No. 6 overall selection.

Jeanty has long been linked with the Dallas Cowboys. However, with the signings of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in free agency, the majority of mock drafters now predict Jerry Jones will draft Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the No. 12 pick.

Reports of Tennessee's "mounting consensus" to take Ward prompted a near-unanimous forecast of the Hurricanes star going No. 1 overall. The alleged clarity on the Titans' thinking led to clear-cut consensuses at the top of the first round, including Sanders' much-debated destination.

The NFL Mock Draft Consensus is compiled by sifting through the most recent mock drafts to identify the most common first-round forecasts. Some teams have more than one projection. For the first time in this draft cycle, all 32 NFL teams have at least one consensus pick.
