Ashton Jeanty to Bears, Golden to Cowboys in Lance Zierlein's 2025 NFL Mock Draft

The NFL draft is less than a month away, and experts' mock drafts continue to give fans an idea of where stars from the collegiate level might end up in the fall.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein gave fans an updated mock draft on Tuesday after a handful of stars went through their respective pro days over the last few weeks.

Zierlein's top three echoed that of many draft analysts, with Cam Ward going first overall to the Tennessee Titans, followed by Abdul Carter to the Cleveland Browns at No. 2. He also pegged two-way star Travis Hunter as the No. 3 pick to the New York Giants.

Many analysts have moved Ashton Jeanty high up on draft boards following the end of his outstanding season, and Zierlein had the Boise State star going 10th overall to the Chicago Bears.

Zierlein also projected Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden to go to the Dallas Cowboys with the 12th pick, making him the first receiver off the board behind Hunter.

The high evaluation of Jeanty isn't too much of a surprise considering he's by far and away the best running back in this year's class. Jeanty had one of the best seasons from a running back in recent memory as he collected 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns on his way to being named a Heisman Trophy finalist.

Golden's numbers at Texas didn't jump off the page as he picked up 987 yards and nine touchdowns, but his 4.29-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine makes him one of the most exciting offensive prospects in this year's class.
