We’ve entered NFL Draft season ladies and gentlemen. You’re about to see mock draft after mock draft after mock draft. We guarantee that this will be the most fun one you’ll see.

It’s very simple, we’re going through the 2025 NFL Draft order and we’re picking a fictional football player from movies or TV to go to that team based on the team’s real need. Let’s waste no more time, here’s the draft:

1. Tennessee Titans: Shane Falco, QB, Ohio State

The Sugar Bowl did not go well for him, but this guy is still a great pick for the Titans based on the fact that he is a natural-born leader whose teammates love him. He’s not afraid to get mobile and he’s not afraid to lower the shoulder either. He can win the pig too. The only thing you worry about is that may initially struggle under pressure.

Movie: The Replacements

2. Cleveland Browns: Willie Beaman, QB, Houston

This guy fits today’s game so well. He’s mobile as all get out and can change the game with that trait. He also has a strong arm. He reminds you a lot of Mike Vick in his Falcons days. There are some concerns that his cockiness could rub teammates the wrong way, but winning cures all.

Movie: Any Given Sunday

3. New York Giants: Frank Cushman, QB, SMU

This guy just wants to play football and he’s pretty good at it. There are some questions on whether or not he will try to force his way to Denver, but the Giants should be able to convince him to play in New York by putting his commercial on the big screen in Times Square.

Movie: Jerry Maguire

4. New England Patriots: Forrest Gump, WR, Alabama

The Pats need a receiver and this guy has unreal speed and stamina. He once ran across the entire country for crying out loud. He’s a solid return man and an All-American too. One sneaky benefit is that he’ll mow the grass at Gillette Stadium for free.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Bobby Boucher, Edge, South Central Louisiana State

The offense-heavy top-four picks pushed the best defensive player in the draft down the board. An unreal pass rusher who once had 16 sacks in a single game for SCLS. As long as you give this guy tackling fuel, he’s going to tear it up. Just don’t let his mom know he’s playing football on account of her belief that it’s the devil.

Movie: The Waterboy

6. Las Vegas Raiders: Vince Howard, QB, Dillon High School

The Raiders have been looking for their franchise quarterback for a very long time and Howard can be that guy for them. Like Falco and Beaman, Howard can use his mobility to extend plays. He is going to be a bit of a late bloomer, but when he gets to his potential, the sky is the limit.

TV Show: Friday Night Lights

7. New York Jets: Stefen Djordjevic, CB, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

Maybe the first Serbian-born player in the NFL? I don’t know. What I do know is that despite being pretty undersized for a cornerback, this cat is going to work hard for you and is super scrappy.

Movie: All The Right Moves

8. Carolina Panthers: Ogre, DL, Adams College

A mammoth of a man and a guy who is just super intense on and off the football field. There are some concerns that he may party a little much, but we once saw this guy be the last player to leave the field after icy hot was put on every player’s jock strap. He’s that dedicated.

Movie: Revenge of the Nerds

9. New Orleans Saints: Thad Castle, OLB, Blue Mountain State

The Saints need an edge rusher to replace Cam Jordan someday and if the Saints can get this guy under control, they have someone who is athletically gifted. Some say this is too high for Castle to go and this is a Reacher.

10. Chicago Bears: Earl Megget, RB, Allenville Federal Penitentiary

Is he in prison currently? Yes, but he is a game-changing running back the Bears have been searching for. Perhaps there’s some sort of work release program they can work out for him. You do what you have to for an athlete like this.

Movie: The Longest Yard

11. San Francisco 49ers: Billy Bob, OL, McCallum High School

Another guy who is just a mammoth of a man. Billy Bob can seemingly play anywhere on the offensive line and is pretty good at it. Fans will love him and his pet pig. There are some concerns about his concussion history though.

Movie: Varsity Blues

12. Dallas Cowboys: Becky “Ice Box” O’Shea, LB, Little Giants

O’Shea’s uncle Kevin O’Shea played for the Cowboys and then even coached a Cowboys peewee team. O’Shea carries on that family lineage by being Dallas’ latest defensive star. O’Shea and Micah Parsons are going to be a crazy duo.

Movie: Little Giants

13: Miami Dolphins: Patrick Kelly, OT, Miami Sharks

He might be on drugs, but this guy can block for Tua Tagovailoa. He is 100% going to get flagged for PEDs. Just be aware of that.

Movie: Any Given Sunday

14. Indianapolis Colts: Brian Murphy, TE, Gallaudet

A supremely talented tight end who can book and be an elite pass catcher. He brings something very new to the game being a deaf player. Shane Steichen will have to learn ASL, but it will be worth it.

Movie: The Replacements

15. Atlanta Falcons: Earl Wilkerson, S, Washington Sentinels

The league needs more safeties named Earl. Just like Earl Thomas, this guy can lay the wood and level some receivers. He has served some time in prison though.

Movie: The Replacements

16. Arizona Cardinals: Andre Krimm, DL, Texas State

A guy who can be a space-eater in the middle, but also has some pass-rush juice as well. He is a little bit on the older side, but that age can be used as a benefit. This player is ready to go.

Movie: Necessary Roughness

17. Cincinnati Bengals: Vontae Mack, OLB, Ohio State

The former Buckeye staying in Ohio would be a big deal to Bengals fans. If the Browns don’t pick him, the Bengals will, no matter what.

18. Seattle Seahawks: Rod Tidwell, WR, Arizona State

Tidwell probably would have loved to have stayed in Arizona, but the receiver isn’t at the top of the list of the Cardinals right now. The Seahawks, who just lost DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, probably could use one. Just beware because at some point John Schneider is going to have to show him the money.

Movie: Jerry Maguire

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Luther Lavay, LB, Miami Sharks

He gets a lot of comparisons to Giants legend Lawrence Taylor and it’s easy to see why. They have a very similar move set and even look exactly the same.

Movie: Any Given Sunday

20: Denver Broncos: Darnell Jefferson, RB, ESU

The Broncos could use a running back and here is a guy who despite all the problems he had at The Program he was at, still found a way to succeed while others dealt with demons.

Movie: The Program

21: Pittsburgh Steelers: Paul Crewe, QB, Allenville Federal Penitentiary

I don’t know, something just feels right about this pairing. Steelers get another late first-rounder at quarterback.

22. Los Angeles Chargers: Alvin Mack, LB, ESU

This guy is going to make Chargers fans love him with all the smack-talking he does. They also will love how hard he hits.

Movie: The Program

23: Green Bay Packers: Charlie Tweeder, WR, McCallum High

GBPD is going to have to be worried of this guy coming and going because he is a wild man who has been known to steal police cars at times.

Movie: Varsity Blues

24: Minnesota Vikings: Manumana, OL, Texas State

The Vikings would love to strengthen the interior of their offensive line and this Samoan giant can do that.

Movie: Necessary Roughness

25. Houston Texans: Jumbo Fumiko, OT, Washington Sentinels

A sumo wrestler turned offensive tackle has all the hand strength and ability to move guys around on the football field. You just have to be aware that he will puke on the field on the first offensive snap of the game.

Movie: The Replacements

26. Los Angles Rams: Tim Riggins, RB/TE, Dillon High

An incredibly loyal player who lowers that shoulder and gets things done. You just really have to worry about him staying out of trouble. He might be addicted to it.

27. Baltimore Ravens: Clifford Franklin, WR, Washington Sentinels

Elite speed. He can stretch the field and outrun any defensive back out there, but he does have a problem with drops. He’ll get better at that over time.

Movie: The Replacements

28. Detroit Lions: Joey “Battle” Battaglio, Edge, Allenville Federal Penitentiary

The Lions need a compliment opposite Aidan Hutchinson and this guy can spear and jackhammer everyone on the field. If he can’t tackle you, there’s always something else he can hit you with.

Movie: The Longest Yard

29. Washington Commanders: Danny Bateman, LB, Washington Sentinels

A former SWAT officer turned linebacker. This guy wants to hit anything that moves. Just make sure you really explain to him that he can’t hit Jayden Daniels in practice.

Movie: The Replacements

30. Buffalo Bills: Carter Rutherford, WR/QB, Duluth Bulldogs

The Bills could use a receiver, how about a guy who plays like someone from the 1920s and can play every position on the field?

Movie: Leatherheads

31: Kansas City Chiefs: Guard Engleheart, DL, Allenville Federal Penitentiary

The Chiefs could use some interior defensive line help next to Chris Jones. How about a big seven-footer who can Jackknife powerbomb offensive linemen? He is on steroids so make sure you get him off those first.

Movie: The Longest Yard

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Steve Lattimer, Edge, ESU

The guy is a baller, but he’s on steroids and he questions whether or not he can play without them. If he can, he’s a steal at 32.
