U2 Guitarist’s Mock Draft: Predictions for NFL’s 2025 Player Picks

GREEN BAY, Wis. — As the NFL Draft approaches, the annual practice of forecasting player selections heats up. This year, U2 guitarist The Edge humorously remarked that “a U2 album never gets finished, it just gets released,” and that’s how one draft analyst feels about their own seven-round mock draft.

Set to unfold from April 24 to April 26, this year’s draft will feature a projection of all 257 picks, carefully accounting for team needs, the potential impact of each player, and the inevitability of surprise selections that always occur during the event.

Despite being released nearly a week before the actual draft, this mock draft gives fans insights into possible trades and strategic fits throughout the first round. Even with the uncertainty of last-minute team discussions, it still anticipates five trades that may reshape the draft landscape.

Among the highlighted prospects, the Tennessee Titans stand to benefit significantly. The analyst has identified quarterback Ward as a top contender for the No. 1 pick, drawing comparisons to successful 2024 rookies that showcased impressive skills in their debut seasons. “Ward embodies the skill set teams are looking for in a modern quarterback,” the analyst noted.

As teams finalize their draft boards ahead of the highly anticipated event in Green Bay, fans and analysts alike are buzzing with excitement over the potential outcomes. Every year sees teams evaluating their needs and exploring the depth of talent available to enhance their rosters.

While predictions can shift dramatically as the draft date nears, the strategic importance of each selection will remain a focal point for franchises looking to solidify their futures. As always, the draft is a rollercoaster of emotions for players, teams, and fans, heralding a new chapter in professional football.
