College football put a bow on a historic 2024 season as Ohio State won the national championship, and now it’s time to get a line on where the country’s most ta

We took a look at ESPN analyst Mel Kiper's first NFL mock draft to evaluate where he thinks Cam Ward, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will go.

The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL draft with a variety of major needs, which creates some interesting scenarios in mock drafts. What the Bengals do in the first mock draft effort of the year from ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., though, probably isn’t the best use of the team’s premium first-round resource.

With the college football season officially over, Mel Kiper Jr. released his first 2025 NFL mock draft. Here is where Penn State's Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren landed.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had the Browns taking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. But in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock of the year for ESPN, he had Sanders’ teammate Travis Hunter going to Cleveland and Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

Kiper lists the 6-3 339-pound Grant as the No. 19 overall prospect for the 2025 draft and the No. 4 draft-eligible defensive tackle prospect. A native of Gary, Indiana, Grant formed the nation’s best interior defensive line tandem with Mason Graham, who declared for the draft earlier this month and ranks No. 4 on Kiper’s Big Board.

In his first mock draft ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr., chooses between Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward for the Tennessee Titans.
