Shedeur to Steelers, Jeanty to Jaguars in Daniel Jeremiah's Final 2025 NFL Mock Draft

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah revealed his final 2025 mock draft on Wednesday.

The exercise is filled with notable picks, including Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 5.

Sanders and the Steelers have been a popular connection in recent days for various mocks, including those from ESPN's Peter Schrager, ESPN's Brooke Pryor and the New York Post's Steve Serby, among others.

It's easy to see why. The Steelers don't have a QB1 right now. Their quarterback room is led by a capable backup (Mason Rudolph), but they need a potential long-term answer at the position.

In addition, the Steelers are waiting on an answer from four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers about his future, but he turns 42 in December and told ESPN's Pat McAfee he's considering retirement as one of his options.

So Sanders as the Steelers' choice makes logical sense.

As for Jeanty, he's long been connected with the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 6, and that's his spot in the consensus mock draft from NFL Mock Draft Database.

But now there's a wave of momentum toward Jeanty going fifth to the Jacksonville Jaguars. In fact, DraftKings Sportsbook lists Jeanty as a favorite to go fifth overall (h/t Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk).

It wouldn't be a big surprise to see Jeanty go to the Jags. Jacksonville is in a new era with general manager James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen. They take over a team that just went 4-13 and finished 26th in scoring.

The Jags need to invest more in the offense around franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and adding Jeanty, who had 2,739 total yards and 30 touchdowns last year, certainly makes sense.

Elsewhere, Jeremiah's top four is the general consensus industry-wide: Miami quarterback Cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans, Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter to the Cleveland Browns, Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter to the New York Giants and LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell to the New England Patriots.

Other notable selections in Jeremiah's mock include Penn State tight end Tyler Warren to the Chicago Bears (at No. 10), Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to the Dallas Cowboys (at No. 12) and Michigan tight end Colston Loveland (to the Denver Broncos at No. 13 after a trade up from the Miami Dolphins, who moved down to 20th).

In addition, Jeremiah also had the Giants making a seismic move up from the second round to No. 18 (Seattle Seahawks) for Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, giving the team its future signal-caller.

We'll find out where they all end up for real beginning Thursday, when the NFL draft begins from Green Bay.
