NFL Mock Draft 2025: A 32-Pick Trade Frenzy

The 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the most chaotic in recent memory, with franchise-altering moves expected across the board. In this bold mock draft simulation, we propose 32 first-round trades, including high-profile deals involving Kirk Cousins, Micah Parsons, and Shedeur Sanders that could reshape the league’s landscape.

🔥 Titans, Falcons, and Browns Shake Up the Draft

1. Tennessee Titans (Projected Trade)

   • Titans receive: Pick 1-2, 3-67, 2026 2nd (Browns), QB Kirk Cousins (Falcons with cash considerations)
   • Falcons receive: 2026 7th (Titans)
   • Browns receive: Pick 1-1, 2026 6th (Titans)

   Analysis: If Tennessee isn’t sold on Cam Ward, this trade could make sense. The Browns leapfrog for their QB while unloading a costly Kirk Cousins contract, while Atlanta dumps salary for minimal return.

🚀 Blockbuster Alert: Micah Parsons to the Falcons?

12. Dallas Cowboys (Trade with Falcons & Browns)

    • Cowboys receive: Pick 1-2, 1-15, 2026 3rd (Falcons)
    • Browns receive: Pick 1-12 + 2026 1st (Falcons) + late-round picks
    • Falcons get: Micah Parsons

    Why it works: Dallas avoids paying Parsons $40M+ annually, while Atlanta lands a superstar pass rusher to transform their defense.

💥 Raiders, Jets, and Saints Make Moves for QBs

5. New Orleans Saints (Trade with Jaguars)

   • Saints get: Pick 1-5 (for Shedeur Sanders)
   • Jaguars land: Pick 1-9 + extra picks

   The play: With Derek Carr aging, Shedeur Sanders’ dual-threat ability fits Kellen Moore’s RPO-heavy offense.

🔮 Wild Card Trades to Watch

• Steelers gamble on Anthony Richardson (Colts trade him for mid-round capital)
• George Pickens dealt to Cardinals after Steelers' DK Metcalf mega-deal
• Lions go all-in for Trey Hendrickson to pair with Aidan Hutchinson

Final Thoughts

While most of these trades won’t happen, they highlight realistic team needs and draft strategies. Expect fireworks on draft night—especially if Parsons, Cousins, or Sanders are on the move!
