One of the many perks of being a charter at Fantasy Points Data is the opportunity to watch a wide variety of teams throughout the season. Who better to understand team needs than a group that analyzes every play of every game?
With free agency wrapping up, the charting team members decided to test their knowledge by conducting a Charter GM Mock Draft. Nine Fantasy Points charters were randomly assigned teams, though some GMs requested their favorite team. If a GM made a trade between two teams they controlled, the trade required approval from at least one other charter to ensure fairness.
Now, let's dive into the mock draft and see how our charters navigated the draft board.
FANTASY POINTS DATA TEAM 2025 MOCK
1) Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami (BW’s Big Board: 13)
“The Titans could still trade out of this pick, but it would take a haul never seen before. That's how enamored Tennessee seems to be with Ward. They stick and pick their QB of the future at 1.” – JT Ruhnke
2) Cleveland Browns: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (BW's Big Board: 12)
“The Browns desperately need to find a QB. After leading the league in interceptions the past two seasons, they select Sheduer Sanders. Sanders brings experience (50 games played), tremendous accuracy (career 70.1% completion), and a swagger that he can immediately inject into this depleted franchise. With Deshaun Watson's hefty contract, securing a quarterback on a rookie deal is vital for the success of the Browns moving forward.” – Sean Dougherty
3) New York Giants: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado (BW's Big Board: 1)
“With Ward and Sanders going 1-2, the Giants decide to go best player available and grab a guy that can be the face of the franchise alongside Nabers. Hunter provides a lockdown corner and an athlete who can contribute on offense to provide some big play ability alongside Nabers.” – Steve O’Rourke
4) New England Patriots: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (BW's Big Board: 2)
“The Patriots are desperate for help on offense and have good depth on edge rushers. Abdul Carter is a game-changing talent whom they can't pass up, though.” – Mike Taylor
5) Jacksonville Jaguars: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan (BW's Big Board: 3)
“The Jaguars are in a great position to build through the trenches with all the top linemen on the board. Mason Graham's ability to affect the game as a run defender and pass rusher is a welcome addition to a defensive line with strong edge play already.” – Eli Danson
6) Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (BW's Big Board: 21)
“Pete Carroll likes to run the ball, so why not get the best RB in the draft? The Raiders were the worst-ranked running team last year in almost every category. Jeanty should give those numbers a little boost. With this pick, the Raiders also take some pressure off Geno Smith and give the Raiders a solid core on the offensive side of the ball with Meyers and Bowers.” – Cliff Kenney
7) New York Jets: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M (BW's Big Board: 20)
“Shemar Stewart's elite physical traits give the Jets a talented edge rusher to boost their defensive identity under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Though he doesn't have the sack production typically seen in top-tier prospects, the upside is too much for the Jets to pass on.” – Eric Gridley
8) Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (BW's Big Board: 4)
“Carolina filled a lot of holes in free agency, mostly on the defensive side of the ball. There don’t seem to be any glaring holes, but there also doesn’t seem to be a lot of elite talent on the team, either. WR Tetairoa McMillan would change that, and continue to build around a (hopefully) ascending Bryce Young.” – Damien Cook
9) San Francisco 49ers: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri (BW's Big Board: 7)
Trade Alert!
49ers get: 2025 1st-round pick (#9).
Saints get: 2025 1st-round pick (#11), 2025 3rd-round pick (100)
“The 49ers get aggressive in a trade war to ensure they get the top offensive tackle in the draft. Membou is a great athlete who can start immediately at G or T for a team with multiple departures on the line this off-season.” – Mike Taylor
10) Chicago Bears: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College (BW's Big Board: 11)
“After strengthening their offensive line through free agency, the Bears want to enhance their defense. Donovan Ezeiruaku is the pick. Though slightly undersized, his impressive athleticism and quickness off the edge make him a pass-rushing threat.” – Cliff Kenney
11) New Orleans Saints: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia (BW's Big Board: 16)
Trade Alert!
Saints get: 2025 1st-round pick (#11), 2025 3rd-round pick (100)
49ers get: 2025 1st-round pick (#9).
“Mickey Loomis is heartbroken that the Jets take Shemar Stewart at 7, and trades back to collect more draft picks. The Saints are in a multi-year rebuild, and as much as I wanted to go Jaxson Dart, the cost to move off of Derek Carr is just too steep. The Saints ride the Carr wave another year, and pick up a young, dynamic edge/LB with the ability to get after the QB while also being able to drop in coverage and give the offense more disguised looks.” – Zach Swails
12) Dallas Cowboys: Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas (BW's Big Board: 18)
“The Cowboys turn back the clock and return the offensive line to a young, athletic, team staple. Banks gives them multi-positional versatility on the line in hopes of keeping Dak Prescott upright. Prescott has struggled to stay healthy, missing multiple games in 2020, 2022, and 2024. With the RB class so deep, they can bring someone to compete with Javonte Williams on Day 2 of the draft.” – Zach Swails
13) Miami Dolphins: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan (BW's Big Board: 9)
“The Dolphins need to bolster their secondary after addressing needs elsewhere in free agency. Miami selects Johnson, who can be an immediate impact starter on the outside.” – JT Ruhnke
14) Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (BW's Big Board: 14)
“Whether it's AR or Danny Dimes under center for the Colts, Warren will be a key asset in easing the pressure on their passing game. A versatile, every-down player, he impacts the aerial attack with his exceptional YAC ability and strengthens the run game with his blocking. A physical force, Warren’s presence will be immediately felt on the field, making a tangible difference in both facets of the game.” – Sean Dougherty
15) Seattle Seahawks: Will Campbell, OT, LSU (BW's Big Board: 8)
Trade Alert!
Seahawks get: 2025 1st-round pick (#15), 2025 4th-round pick (#118), 2025 7th-round pick (#242)
Falcons get: 2025 1st-round pick (#18), 2025 3rd-round pick (92)
“With two teams picking before them with offensive line needs, the Seahawks make a small move to move up and take the top offensive lineman on their board. Will Campbell was a day one SEC starter with smooth feet and a great ability to recover. The Seahawks will be happy to have Campbell start at tackle and move inside if necessary.” – Eli Danson
16) Arizona Cardinals: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (BW's Big Board: 30)
“Jihaad Campbell's talent for rushing the quarterback fills an important need for the Cardinals. With his ability to play at both the edge and linebacker positions, Campbell provides versatility to a mediocre Arizona defense.” – Eric Gridley
17) Cincinnati Bengals: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia (BW's Big Board: 45)
“With or without Trey Hendrickson on the roster, the Bengals must get better on defense. Cincinnati ranked 26th in team sacks (36), and Hendrickson had a league-leading 17.5 of them. Williams would give the Bengals a secondary pass rusher who can refine his raw tools beside one of the best in the game.” – Damien Cook
18) Atlanta Falcons: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina (BW's Big Board: 25)
Trade Alert!
Falcons get: 2025 1st-round pick (#18), 2025 3rd-round pick (92)
Seahawks get: 2025 1st-round pick (#15), 2025 4th-round pick (#118), 2025 7th-round pick (#242)
“The Falcons traded back to acquire more draft capital and took arguably the best pure athlete in the draft. Emmanwori immediately puts the Falcons' safety duo of him and Bates III at the top of the list of best safety duos and gives the Falcons a guy who can make plays in the passing game as well as someone who can walk up into the box and help defend the run.” – Steve O’Rourke
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee (BW's Big Board: 19)
“With Jihaad Campbell off the board, the Bucs turn their attention to James Pearce Jr. An explosive edge rusher, Pearce offers immediate impact in a blitz-heavy scheme, adding a dynamic force to their defensive front. Despite rumors surrounding potential character concerns, a talent like this would prove difficult to pass up on in the back half of the first round.” – Sean Dougherty
20) Denver Broncos: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State (BW's Big Board: 57)
“Bo Nix gets another wide receiver, Emeka Egbuka, a physical WR who can not only run great routes but also block effectively. He should be a great complement to Sutton in the Broncos' passing game.” – Cliff Kenney
21) Pittsburgh Steelers: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas (BW's Big Board: 42)
“The Steelers could have gone for Dart, but with the Steelers continuing to explore the vet QB market, they draft Golden to provide a receiver that can play both slot and outside receiver, giving them a very lethal WR trio for any vet QB coming in.” – Steve O’Rourke
22) Los Angeles Chargers: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan (BW's Big Board: 15)
“Colston Loveland brings a new level of talent to the Chargers TE room. Justin Herbert gets a new target in the passing game allowing the Chargers offense to flourish.” – Eric Gridley
23) Green Bay Packers: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas (BW's Big Board: 6)
“With a need at outside cornerback, the Packers target Jahdae Barron with their first pick. A plus athlete who meets their size thresholds, Barron brings strong zone coverage ability and run support that fits well into Jeff Hafley's scheme.” – Eli Danson
24) New York Giants: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss (BW's Big Board: 10)
Trade Alert!
Giants get: 2025 1st-round pick (#24).
Vikings get: 2025 2nd-round pick (#34), 2025 3rd-round pick (#65)
“The New York Giants get the best of both worlds as they went with Hunter at 3, and with Dart dropping to 24, they trade up and secure their QB of the future. With Jameis there to ease the transition to Dart, The Giants aren't forced into throwing him into the fire immediately.” – Steve O’Rourke
25) Houston Texans: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State (BW's Big Board: 17)
“After trading away the offensive line in Houston, it seems that DeMeco Ryans is looking for a culture shift. Insert National Champion Josh Simmons, who falls perfectly into the Texans' lap due to his ACL injury. If not for injury, one could argue that Simmons is the top tackle in this Draft and has the legitimate opportunity to play the LT spot. After moving on from Tunsil, this is a gift having Simmons still on the board.” – Zach Swails
26) Los Angeles Rams: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State (BW's Big Board: 27)
“The Rams get younger on defense yet again. Thomas is an athletic specimen with the press-man skills to develop into the Rams' next number one lockdown corner” – JT Ruhnke
27) Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Grant, IDL, Michigan (BW's Big Board: 4)
“Ravens stick and pick, but I considered trading out of this one. I didn’t have the interior defensive line high on the list of needs for Baltimore, but at pick 27, Kenneth Grant feels like a steal. Grant is an athletic freak who also happened to play for that other Harbaugh in college.” – Damien Cook
28) Detroit Lions: Darius Alexander, IDL, Toledo (BW's Big Board: 28)
“Despite not being an immediate need, the Lions dealt with so many injuries in 2024 that they could use another versatile piece on the defensive line. Alexander is a freak of nature who could slot into anywhere on the front and join Detroit's ferocious front four.” – JT Ruhnke
29) Washington Commanders: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina (BW's Big Board: 42)
“The commanders grab an elite running back to add to their already explosive offense. It’s another weapon for sophomore Jayden Daniels as they look to continue their success from last year.” – Eric Gridley
30) Buffalo Bills: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (BW's Big Board: 31)
“The Bills look to add to their secondary and take one of the more versatile safeties in this class after missing out on the top 3 CBs. Starks gives the Bills the ability to play him off-ball safety, or even in nickel packages and around the line of scrimmage. While they did re-sign Damar Hamlin, it was a one-year deal for low money, and Taylor Rapp has an out after this year if they so choose. After Rapp also missed the AFC Championship against the Chiefs due to injury, depth is never a bad thing.” – Zach Swails
31) Kansas City Chiefs: Grey Zabel, IOL, NDST (BW's Big Board: 35)
“After their offensive line got abused in the Super Bowl, and the departure of Joe Thuney, the Chiefs desperately needed to strengthen their offensive interior. They do so by adding NDSU IOL Grey Zabel. Following a standout performance at both the Senior Bowl and the Combine, Zabel brings versatility to an o-line unit that failed to protect Kansas City’s prized possession in 2024.” – Sean Dougherty
32) Philadelphia Eagles: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall (BW's Big Board: 28)
“Howie does it again, allowing an elite prospect to fall right to him. Mike Green is the best pass rusher in this class and will keep this ferocious unit cooking, helping replace the production from Sweat and Williams.” – Eli Danson
