One week away from the 2025 NFL Draft means it's time for a comprehensive, multi-analyst event: a live seven-round mock draft courtesy of CBS Sports' "With the First Pick" podcast.
Here's how it works. This mock draft of all 257 picks features 10 CBS Sports NFL and college football analysts split into four separate "GM groups" who pick for eight separate teams from Round 1 to Round 7. Here's a breakdown of of who's picking when:

The Browns have their potential quarterback of the future in Jalen Milroe.
After going defense with their first two picks (cornerback Jahdae Barron and linebacker Carson Schwesinger), the Cowboys get CeeDee Lamb some help with the addition of the Stanford wideout.
Make that three offensive skill players in three rounds for the Raiders, who take Tetairoa McMillan in the first, snag Luther Burden III in the second and now grab Cameron Skattebo in the third. Pete Carroll is going to love what the Arizona State star provides.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier insists that Tyreek Hill isn't on the trading block, but in this mock draft, Miami gets a high-floor receiver for Tua Tagovailoa in Emeka Egbuka at No. 48 overall.
While not a first-round pick like his father, Dolphins legend Jason Taylor, LSU tight end Mason Taylor goes off the board among the top-40 picks.
New England is thrilled to get the former North Carolina standout whom many think is the No. 2 running back in this class after Ashton Jeanty. The Patriots still badly need a wide receiver, but getting Hampton to help Drake Maye is a big get.
After passing on a quarterback to take Abdul Carter at No. 3, the Giants get their rookie signal-caller to join Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the quarterback room. The former Syracuse star is the fourth quarterback taken.

Another home run for Howie Roseman in the draft. Pearce has immense upside, and he was uber-productive in the SEC the past two seasons. Despite the maturity/character concerns, he was never suspended at Tennessee or served punishment for anything.
Grade: A+
Glorious selection here for Kansas City, to give Chris Jones a legitimate running mate on the interior. Harmon is similarly sized to Jones too.
Grade: A
Not Buffalo's largest need, but safety should be addressed reasonably early, and Starks is as pro-ready as they come at the position. Sean McDermott has a long history of getting the most out of safeties, and Starks would be one of the most talented safeties he's coached.
Grade: A-
Adore this pick. This is more where he should be selected in real life. And I love that Warren wouldn't have to be "the guy" instantly with Terry McLaurin in tow. Fine mentee opportunity under Zach Ertz entering Year 2 of the Jayden Daniels era.
Grade: A-
Athleticism and versatility galore here with this pick for the Lions. There may be some growing pains from a strength perspective, yet he has All-Pro upside because of how well he moves. Sensible for Detroit to continue to reload along the offensive line.
Grade: B
The sack production, not the pressure production, was there for Ezeiruaku in 2024, and he'd be a drastically different pick for the Ravens historically from a size perspective. Quality, all-around prospect though.
Grade: B
It's time for the Rams to add a premier talent in the cornerback room, after fielding a mostly patchwork unit the past few years.
Grade: A-
Love what Houston has done this offseason to attempt to improve the offensive line after how bad it's been the first two seasons of the C.J. Stroud era. The injury is concerning, but Simmons may not have to play instantly given the free-agent moves.
Grade: A
Surprised it wasn't a few other positions like defensive tackle or interior offensive line, yet Emmanwori getting to play with Harrison Smith for a season before taking over in Brian Flores' scheme would be tremendous for the Vikings.
Grade: A
This is maybe the most boom-or-bust pick in the first round, among defensive players. How fast is Johnson? Can he improve his tackling? It does fill a clear-cut need in Green Bay, though.
Grade: B-
I love this selection, because the Chargers do need more beef -- and just pure talent -- at defensive tackle. They get both of those elements in spades with Grant who has an obvious connection to Jim Harbaugh.
Grade: A-
In a vacuum, this is too early for Dart, but it's understandable given the Saints' drastic need at the quarterback position and a new head coach with a quarterback background running the show.
Grade: B
Loveland is one of my "buyer beware" prospects in this class. The separation skill is legitimate. He's a dynamic mover. I question his YAC skill and contested-catch ability. I do love the pairing with Sean Payton, who coached Jimmy Graham for a long time in New Orleans. Frankly, Tyler Warren would've been a better pick if Denver was adamant about selecting tight end.
Grade: C-
Maybe not the largest need addressed from Tampa Bay, yet this is a super specimen at the cornerback position. Hairston is a bit small. He plays bigger and has plus ball skills.
Grade: A-
Smart pick by Seattle, a club that needs an infusion of pure talent on its defense, beyond the secondary. Campbell is a rangy, modern-day linebacker who'll thrive under Mike Macdonald.
Grade: A-
The Bengals need more impact from the defensive line, and while Green may take time to acclimate to the NFL coming from the small-school level, his upside is through the roof given his bend, burst, and flashes of pass-rush moves. Surprised not an interior rusher or offensive linemen to protect Joe Burrow.
Grade: A-
A need addressed for Arizona, a complementary piece to Marvin Harrison Jr. in the receiver room. I do think there's a little bit of bowl-game bias at work with Golden's ascension. I didn't see 4.29 on film, and he's not an uber-talented separator with route-running nuance.
Grade: C+
On paper, Williams has premier upside given his length and NFL-caliber frame. Plus he's young. The productivity at Georgia was lackluster. He's super risky. But, Atlanta does desperately need edge-rushing help.
Grade: C+
On film, this is sensible. But I can't simply ignore the extremely poor pre-draft workout from the Alabama blocker. The Colts do need interior blockers after losing some pieces this offseason. Booker is a mauler. Just very limited movement skills.
Grade: C
Love this selection. Because Mike McDaniel is going to ask his offensive linemen to get lateral often, and Membou is arguably the best pure athlete in the class. Good selection with the long-term in mind too, at a premium position.
Grade: A
I'm in the minority here, but I'm significantly lower on Barron than this. He's older, not a reliable tackler, and three of his interceptions in 2024 were of the gift-wrapped variety in 2024. Short arms, too. The testing is encouraging. No doubt. This simply feels too rich.
Grade: C-
