<p>Week 10 of the NFL season is in the books. While most struggling teams will tell you they're going to try and turn things around, it's likely time for them to look towards the future.</p><p>Let's take a look at how the top 10 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft could shake out if the event took place today.</p><p><em>Projected draft order via <a href="https://www.tankathon.com/nfl">Tankathon</a>.</em></p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="1. Jaguars" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-S13Xc" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/S13Xc/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado</h3><p>The Jaguars need reinforcements all over the field and Hunter would upgrade cornerback or wide receiver immediately. He may even get snaps on both sides of the ball at the NFL level. The two-way phenom has 856 yards, nine touchdown catches, two interceptions, and seven pass deflections this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="2. Giants" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JcKff" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JcKff/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado</h3><p>A player with Sanders' swagger would likely love to play in New York, and the Giants would love his accuracy with the football. The Colorado quarterback ranks third in the nation in completion rate (72.9%) despite being sacked the fifth-most times of any signal-caller (38) and consistently being under pressure. The 22-year-old would be an immediate improvement as the team moves on from Daniel Jones.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="3. Titans" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-XWv0J" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/XWv0J/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Cam Ward, QB, Miami</h3><p>The Will Levis experiment hasn't worked out and it's time for Tennessee to find a new QB. Ward will occasionally throw an ill-advised pass due to his belief in his arm, but you can live with those mistakes given his excellent production and propensity to make game-changing plays. He leads the nation in passing yards (3,494) and touchdown passes (32) this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="4. Browns" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Uvhw2" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Uvhw2/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona</h3><p>Many Browns fans will want to see a QB in this spot, but Deshaun Watson's contract looms large and could prevent the team from targeting a signal-caller early. Instead, they land the exceptionally explosive McMillan for their next QB of the future. The 6-foot-5, 212-pounder has 2,468 yards and 16 touchdowns over the last two seasons.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="5. Raiders" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-SExcF" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/SExcF/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama</h3><p>The Raiders have been searching for an answer at QB seemingly forever. Milroe's an exceptional athlete who'd be able to leverage his scrambling ability while the team continues to improve around him. The dual threat has 13 passing touchdowns and 16 rushing scores in nine games this year.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="6. Patriots" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-P0ZJJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/P0ZJJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State</h3><p>Carter's a menace off the edge and would be a Day 1 starter for the Patriots and many NFL teams. His 16 tackles for loss pace the Big Ten while his eight sacks lead Penn State's defense. Carter's shown he's capable of forcing turnovers, too, tallying five forced fumbles and an interception over his college career.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="7. Saints" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-nyvTM" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/nyvTM/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Mason Graham, DL, Michigan</h3><p>The Saints won't be able to fix all their issues in one year, but selecting Graham would be a good start. He's maintained his impressive level of play despite Michigan taking a step back this season, tallying 37 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. He's earned an 89.6 overall <a href="https://premium.pff.com/ncaa/players/2024/REGPO/mason-graham/158535/defense">PFF</a> grade this season after posting a 90 mark in 2023.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="8. Jets" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-mfZAI" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/mfZAI/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Will Johnson, CB, Michigan</h3><p>The Jets' defense has allowed the highest EPA/play since firing Robert Saleh, per <a href="https://x.com/mikerenner_/status/1855928044256374970">CBS Sports' Mike Renner</a>. Adding Johnson to a secondary that already features Sauce Gardner would give New York a young and talented pair of corners to build around. Johnson's a lockdown corner who's returned three of his nine career interceptions for touchdowns.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="9. Panthers" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Yws7E" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Yws7E/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri</h3><p>Bryce Young's probably played well enough to get one more chance if the Panthers are picking closer to 10th than first overall when the draft finally rolls around, so let's get him a weapon. Burden's a key piece of Missouri's offense, tallying 176 receptions, 34 carries, and 23 scrimmage touchdowns in his career. He's especially effective in space, averaging 7.3 yards after the catch per reception and recording 62.1% (1,300) of his 2,092 career yards after the catch, per <a href="https://premium.pff.com/ncaa/players/2024/REGPO/luther-burden-iii/157170/receiving">PFF</a>.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="10. Dolphins" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-1cDDh" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/1cDDh/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();
</script></figure><h3>Will Campbell, OL, LSU</h3><p>Campbell would be an improvement for the Dolphins whether he plays tackle or guard, and he could play either with his 6-6, 320-pound frame. Campbell hasn't surrendered a sack in two seasons and has given up only two on 1,458 career pass-blocking snaps, per <a href="https://premium.pff.com/ncaa/players/2024/REGPO/will-campbell/157106/offense-blocking">PFF</a>. That kind of security would go a long way in keeping Tua Tagovailoa healthy.</p>
