The Miami Dolphins plan to rebuild their offensive line this offseason, according to general manager Chris Grier, but that's not the only spot on the roster that needs work. In Mel Kiper Jr.'s first mock draft of the year,

Should Kiper’s projection hold true, it would be the first time since the 2018 NFL Draft that the SEC failed to produce a top-5 pick. Oklahoma (then in the Big 12) produced the No. 1 overall pick in Baker Mayfield while Georgia’s Roquan Smith was the league’s top selection at No. 8 overall.

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.

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.

Which team could land Shedeur Sanders? Will there be more first-round defensive prospects this year? Mel Kiper Jr. projects the opening 32 picks.

Penn State stars Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren are projected first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft — and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. agrees.

Rich Eisen says the Ravens ‘are going to be in it every year.’ Former Orioles great Jim Palmer is among those showing support for Mark Andrews. Kyle Van Noy says the Bills’ conservative approach paid off.

Kiper isn’t the only person who’s predicted the Giants to pick the 22-year-old Colorado product. His own father, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, said he knew “for a fact” that New York would be picking his son in the 2025 Draft in an interview on “The Pac Man Jones Show” in December — at the time, Deion thought the Giants would have the No. 1 pick.

The Houston Texans bulk up their offensive line with the selection of a former Buckeye in Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest mock draft.
