The 2024 college football regular season is winding down and getting revved up for the new 12-team College Football Playoff, just as the NFL season's playoff field is taking shape. It makes for a perfect time to peek ahead to the 2025 NFL draft and make some first-round predictions with a fully updated mock draft of the opening 32 picks.
A lot will change before April 24, when the draft rolls into Green Bay, Wisconsin. Besides the expanded college postseason seeing risers and fallers, there will be players on draft boards who will return to school.
