Pete Prisco 2025 NFL mock draft 1.0: Steelers take QB while rest of AFC North addresses defense in Round 1

Predicting every first-round pick about a month before the draft

This is my mock draft No. 1, so don't hold me to it. 

Doing mock drafts before free agency is lunacy, which is why I respect all the draft analysts out there who do them. But they are worthless when trying to gauge where players will go in the first round since holes are filled in free agency and others are made. 

Now that we have a better idea what teams need, it's time for my first mock. I will do three more, two like this predictive mock and one who-they-should take mock.
