The Draft Network’s Daniel Harms recently released his latest 2025 NFL mock draft. Our Draft Network Top 100 prospect rankings have served as a reference point for his analysis and decisions. It’s mock draft season here at The Draft Network, with weekly iterations dropping every Sunday evening.
I’ve been selected to dissect Harms’ mock draft. I've identified my favorite selections, scheme fits, and the best prospect not selected. I also have some question marks. Let’s dive into The Draft Network’s latest 2025 NFL mock draft.
Favorite Pick: Jalen Royals, WR, Los Angeles Rams (No. 26 overall)
Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals was downright dominant at the Senior Bowl. Royals was extremely physical as a route-runner and athletic after the catch via open-field opportunities. He's among the most complete receivers in this class with incredibly high potential.
The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to move on from aging, expensive receiver Cooper Kupp. Royals would pair with Puka Nacua to revamp the wideout room in LA. Sean McVay would understand how to fully utilize Royals’ exciting skill set.
Biggest Question Mark: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, New Orleans Saints (No. 9 overall)
Shemar Stewart is among the most divisive prospects in the draft. At 6-foot-5 inches and 281 pounds, he's an incredibly smooth and athletic operator who will be a standout performer at this year's NFL Scouting Combine. However, Stewart lacks proven production, with 1.5 sacks recorded throughout 2024.
New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is definitely prone to falling in love with toolsy pass-rushing prospects. He missed on Payton Turner and Marcus Davenport earlier this decade. Also, will offensive-minded head coach Kellen Moore sign off on Turner, or will he convince Loomis to continue investing in the offensive line?
Best Scheme Fit: Tyler Booker, IOL, Miami Dolphins (No. 13 overall)
Injuries derailed the Miami Dolphins' offense in 2024. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined for a significant portion of their season. Injuries across the offensive line, and at running back further prevented the Dolphins from establishing their offensive identity throughout the season.
This offseason is about resetting expectations and getting back to basics. Drafting a physical offensive lineman like Tyler Booker would help head coach Mike McDaniel reinvent his approach. With Terron Armstead and Patrick Paul at left tackle, acquiring a specimen inside like Booker would offer the Dolphins a chance to win the line of scrimmage up front on a weekly basis.
Best Value: Kenneth Grant, DT, Detroit Lions (No. 28 overall)
Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant is a straightforward evaluation. Grant is a space-eating interior presence. He successfully takes on multiple blocks and makes plays behind the line of scrimmage.
Pairing Grant with Aidan Hutchinson (fellow Michigan alums) would be a massive victory for the Detroit Lions. Grant would offer the Lions some interior insurance with Alim McNeill recovering from a serious late-season injury. He'd fit in perfectly with Dan Campbell's culture.
Best Player Not Selected: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Armand Membou is among the best, most polished offensive lineman prospects in the draft. Membou is versatile, with plug-and-play upside at either right tackle or guard. The Missouri standout is a potential top-15 overall selection, but he failed to make Harms' mock altogether.
