The 2025 NFL Draft is just three days away. After months of speculation, we will finally have answers to the questions surrounding each team's pick. Some teams, like the Cowboys, Buccaneers, Vikings, and Browns, are among those holding the draft hostage by not knowing what they will do. Meanwhile, teams like the Titans, Patriots, and Bears, where we have a better idea of what they may do.

Despite that case for both instances, we still need to practice and, in this case, simulate scenarios for the draft.

An exercise we want to do this week is to use all the best NFL Draft simulators at our disposal before the big day on Thursday. We will use them to project what their algorithm has gathered in terms of information and projections leading up to Thursday. From there, we will then share those projections here as a first-round mock draft courtesy of the simulator.

Today's tool is ESPN's analytics simulator.
