NFL Mock Draft Consensus 18.0: Forecasts for the first three rounds
By Joe Lago

Past Mock Draft Consensus:
17.0 | 16.0 | 15.0 | 14.0 | 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
With the 2025 NFL Draft just over a week away, the mock draft community is finishing strong with deep dives beyond the first round.
There were so many multi-round forecasts this week that the NFL Mock Draft Consensus ventured beyond the first 32 picks for the first time and drilled down into Rounds 2 and 3 to uncover the popular projections of Day 2.

What were the most interesting discoveries?
The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants will address their quarterback needs at the top of the second round. Also, the Dallas Cowboys — after taking the first wide receiver not named Travis Hunter with the No. 12 pick — will load up on running backs with their second- and third-round choices. At least, that's what the majority of mock drafters believe.
The NFL Mock Draft Consensus is compiled by sifting through the most recent mock drafts to identify the most common forecasts. Some teams have more than one projection. For picks without a consensus, positions are listed to show what mock drafters deem are the biggest needs.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
