2025 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 11-16

San Francisco 49ers - Pick 11

• 🏈 The San Francisco 49ers select Will Campbell, an offensive lineman from LSU, at pick 11.
• 💡 Campbell is noted for his movement skills and versatility, capable of playing both tackle and guard, bolstering the offensive line to protect quarterback Brock Purdy.
• ⚠️ Concerns exist regarding his arm length (32 5/8 inches at combine, 33 at pro day), which is below the ideal NFL threshold of 34 inches.
• ✅ Despite arm length concerns, his ability to play at a high level in the SEC and his potential to be a Pro Bowl guard make him a strong pick.

Dallas Cowboys - Pick 12

• 🏈 The Dallas Cowboys select Matthew Golden, wide receiver from Texas, at pick 12.
• ⚡ Golden is chosen for his speed and ability to stretch the field, complementing CeeDee Lamb.
• 📈 His production spiked in the latter half of the season, suggesting he is still developing his full potential.
• 🎯 The Cowboys are looking for a reliable number two receiver to pair with Lamb, and Golden's speed offers a new dimension to the offense.

Miami Dolphins - Pick 13

• 🏈 The Miami Dolphins select Jahdae Barron, defensive back from Texas, at pick 13.
• 🧩 Barron offers versatility, capable of playing nickel, outside corner, or safety, addressing needs in the Dolphins' secondary.
• 🔄 His selection allows for more defensive disguise and ambiguity in coverage schemes, aligning with the team's defensive philosophy.
• 🧐 While a good player, some questioned if a defensive back with potential nickel specialization was the best use of a mid-first round pick, especially with needs on the offensive and defensive lines.

Indianapolis Colts - Pick 14

• 🏈 The Indianapolis Colts select Jihad Campbell, linebacker from Alabama, at pick 14.
• 🌟 Campbell is considered a blue-chip player with elite off-ball linebacker skills, including pass-rushing ability and strong coverage skills.
• 🩹 Despite a labrum surgery, his availability at pick 14 is seen as great value, as he could have been a top-10 pick without injury concerns.
• 🚀 His versatility makes him a valuable asset for the Colts' new defensive scheme under coordinator Lou Anarumo.

Atlanta Falcons - Pick 15

• 🏈 The Atlanta Falcons select Mike Green, edge rusher from Marshall, at pick 15.
• 💨 The Falcons, who have struggled with sacks for years, desperately need to improve their pass rush.
• 🎯 Green led the nation in sacks last year and has shown a variety of moves, speed, and power throughout the pre-draft process.
• 📈 He is seen as a potential cornerstone for the Falcons' defense, aiming to move them out of the league's worst pass-rushing rankings.

Arizona Cardinals - Pick 16

• 🏈 The Arizona Cardinals select Will Johnson, cornerback from Michigan, at pick 16.
• 🔒 Johnson is considered a top cornerback prospect with strong instincts and the ability to force turnovers, playing man-to-man and off-coverage effectively.
• ❓ The main concern surrounding Johnson is his lack of a 40-yard dash time, leading to questions about his speed, though his tape shows he can make plays.
• 🌟 The Cardinals are strengthening their secondary, a key part of their defensive identity, and pairing Johnson with Garrett Williams creates a promising young cornerback duo.
