Tue Mar 25 12:30:00 UTC 2025: ## 2025 NFL Mock Drafts Predict Busy QB Market, Running Back Surge
**Multiple analysts predict a high demand for quarterbacks and running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft.** Early mock drafts from various NFL analysts paint a picture of a potentially chaotic first round, with a significant focus on quarterbacks and, surprisingly, a potential resurgence of running backs.
Several analysts, including Charles Davis and three quarterbacks going in the top three picks. Others project three quarterbacks within the first seven picks, indicating a strong quarterback class. In contrast, Daniel Jeremiah’s mock draft foresees a first-round run on running backs, a scenario rarely seen in recent years. This mirrors Chad Reuter’s projection of 11 running backs being selected by the end of the fourth round.
The wide receiver and defensive positions also feature prominently. Multiple mock drafts indicate a high demand for wide receiver talent, with some analysts predicting multiple receivers going in the top five. The highly touted two-way star Travis Hunter is also anticipated to be a highly sought-after prospect, with some mock drafts showing teams trading up to secure his services.
The mock drafts also suggest a potential for significant trades, with several analysts projecting trades in the first round, driven by the desire to secure top quarterback and other high-value prospects. The Denver Broncos are projected to select running back Cam Skattebo in one mock draft.
The 2025 NFL Draft is still over a year away, but these early mock drafts offer intriguing insights into the potential direction of the draft and the high-profile players expected to be selected.
