2025 NFL mock draft: A first round with Arch Manning, all underclassmen eligible | FOX Sports

Would Arch Manning or Jeremiah Smith go No. 1? Rob Rang forecasts who every NFL team would target with their 2025 first-round pick if every college player were draft eligible.

An interesting thought experiment. FWIW, here are his top 10 picks; I'll quote the logic for the Pats pick (italics = not declared/ineligible for 2025)

1. Tennessee Titans: Arch Manning, QB, Texas (RS FR)
2. Cleveland Browns: Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State (FR)
3. New York Giants: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado (JR)
4. New England Patriots: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan (JR)
I believe Mike Vrabel is going to be a terrific coach for the Patriots, and I'm equally excited about Graham's fit in the middle of New England's defense. Paired with blossoming star Keion White, the Patriots could have the makings of a dominant defensive line.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (JR)
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State (SO)
7. New York Jets: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State (JR)
8. Carolina Panthers: Dylan Stewart, Edge, South Carolina (FR)
9. New Orleans Saints: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (RS SR)
10. Chicago Bears: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (JR)

I’d put Ryan Williams WR from Alabama in the top 10, I like him as well as Jeremiah Smith. Would still take Graham at #4 unless Williams pushed Hunter down 1 slot.

No OTs in the top 10 in this scenario says a lot about where things are now in football, it isn’t good at all IMHO.

Colin Simmons should be on this list.
