2025 NFL Mock Draft: Expert Two-Round Projections and Top Prospect Predictions

Shedeur Sanders - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks

We are officially in NFL Draft season with the Senior Bowl and Super Bowl out of the way. Before we jump into this mock, one thing worth noting is that these predictions are not what I would do. These picks won't always follow my prospect rankings, either.

If you want to see how I stack up the players in this class, head over to my initial Top 50 Prospects list. However, if you want to see how I think other teams will select or value players, you can read on.

The other thing worth noting before we begin is this: a lot will change after free agency. Today, we are guessing on a variety of factors, including where free agents land or leave and what the medical reports will look like. Because we are not soothsayers, free agency could make our mocks in March or April look drastically different than this.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Round 1

  1. *TRADE: New York Giants - Cam Ward, QB, Miami

We start things off with a trade right off the bat.

Giants GM Joe Schoen and Coach Brian Daboll are both squarely on the hot seat. Ownership has made clear they will lose their jobs if they do not win… which they cannot do without a better QB. Sam Darnold elects to avoid a return to New York in this mock, forcing the Giants into a bidding war for the top pick, so they pay a premium to get it and save their jobs.

Ward's game has plenty of warts, as he still takes far too many risks, and his accuracy isn't always top-notch. However, he is also the best physical prospect in this QB class, and he showed improvement as a processor and decision-maker during his time at Miami. He has the best arm, very good mobility, and the most upside of any passer in this group.

Trade Compensation:

Giants Receive - 1st overall pick & Tennessee’s 4th round pick in 2026

Titans Receive - 3rd overall pick & New York’s 1st round pick in 2026

  1. Cleveland Browns - Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

Shedeur Sanders is in consideration for this pick, given Cleveland’s need for a quarterback. However, Sanders’ arm strength is not ideal for the winter weather that builds off the river near Huntington Bank Stadium. As a result, Cleveland targets the top player in the whole class who can form a killer tandem with Myles Garrett or replace him.

  1. *TRADE DOWN: Tennessee Titans - Travis Hunter, DB/WR, Colorado

While Cam Ward is an option for the Titans if they stick at #1, they would be foolish not to stir a trade war between the Giants and Jets for that pick. New York’s two teams both have impatient owners and immediate needs at QB. Here, that trade war nets Tennessee significant draft capital in a far superior 2026 QB class, plus they still land one of the two best prospects in this class.

It is unclear whether Tennessee would choose to play Hunter at cornerback or receiver. While his film and pedigree suggest corner is his most natural position, the Titans may be best served playing him primarily at receiver. There, he can develop into a top target for whatever quarterback (Arch Manning or Drew Allar) they position themselves to draft in 2026.

  1. TRADE: Las Vegas Raiders - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

The Patriots have a few options with this pick, but the Raiders and Jets both call about a move-up for Sanders. The Pats elect to help out a non-division rival when Tom Brady and company offer a bit more than the Jets. Brady seems to like Sanders more than most, sympathizing with his “just a good system quarterback” wrap.

Trade Compensation:

Patriots Receive - 6th, 68th, and 106th overall picks

Raiders Receive - 4th overall pick

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The Jaguars luck out in this scenario, as the quarterback class isn't special yet the desperation from multiple teams turns into a bidding war that drives passers up the board. It also drives a talented defensive tackle down the chart. Graham is arguably the safest prospect in this class and fits a real need for Jacksonville.

  1. TRADE DOWN: New England Patriots - Will Campbell, OL, LSU

While consensus is that this match is made in heaven, Campbell is far from a perfect prospect and maybe a better fit at guard. In fact, for my money, the Patriots would be better off "reaching" on Josh Simmons, who is more likely to stay at left tackle long-term. However, Campbell does have the athleticism and talent to be a quality blocker somewhere.

  1. New York Jets - Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

New Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn is a former defensive back who will value having a strong secondary. Unfortunately, multiple Jets defensive backs are free agents, including starting corner D.J. Reed.

  1. Carolina Panthers - Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia

Few teams are a better fit for Walker than Carolina. The former Bulldog is a talented blitzer with tremendous instincts, but he also plays the run in space like a quality off-ball linebacker. He can do both in Carolina's scheme, rotating inside and out as a hybrid weapon they deploy as needed.

  1. New Orleans Saints - Mykel Williams, DL, Georgia

Buzz continues to spread that Williams will go much higher than many draft analysts think he should. Many of us are lower on the twitchy pass rusher because he simply didn’t produce in college, playing out of position inside. However, he did show tantalizing flashes in big games, like the SEC Championship, and he has special traits in a draft class that’s short on them.

  1. Chicago Bears - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Chicago led the NFL in sacks allowed last year, plus Tevin Jenkins is a free agent and Braxton Jones hits the market next year. To make matters even more interesting, Ben Johnson just ran a Lions offense that was built in the trenches by using first-round picks on two offensive tackles and a center. He knows the value of highly drafted blockers.

That said, both of Chicago's tackles are young and graded positively as pass blockers last year. If Chicago decides that their true need is at guard and not tackle, they can afford to wait on blockers and draft a special running back in this spot. Ben Johnson knows the value of an elite back like Jeanty or Jahmyr Gibbs, and he knows from experience that D’Andre Swift isn’t one.

  1. San Francisco 49ers - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

The 49ers have long looked for a second tight end to pair with George Kittle, spending multiple Day 2 and Day 3 picks on the position. Kyle Shanahan clearly values having versatile weapons at the position who can block, catch, and do everything. Remember, Brock Purdy’s elbow injury came when a backup tight end was incapable of picking up a blitzing edge rusher against Philly.

Warren is a high-end blocker, a creative and adept receiver, and his history as a high school quarterback makes him lethal in Wildcat packages. The Penn State alum would help the 49ers to vary their looks, running more 12-personnel packages, and give them a one-for-one George Kittle replacement when the veteran’s contract expires next year.

  1. Dallas Cowboys - Armond Membou, OL, Missouri

Dallas has to strongly consider someone like Membou with this pick, given the retirement of Zack Martin. The Missouri product has the athleticism and awareness to stay at right tackle and replace Terrence Steele in time, but he can also kick inside and replace Martin this year. Jerry Jones will likely remember that Martin himself was a converted tackle.

  1. Miami Dolphins - Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Terron Armstead is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, but he is oft-injured and rumors are he is playing things “year-to-year” with retirement in sight. If Simmons’ medicals don’t show long-term concern, the Dolphins would be lucky to draft the most talented tackle in this class. He could grow/heal for a year behind Armstead before replacing him for a decade.

  1. Indianapolis Colts - Mike Green, DE, Marshall

The Colts got steady but unspectacular production out of Laiatu Latu last year, and Kwity Paye continues to be an interesting player when healthy. However, they still need more upside from their exterior pass rush. Green is a gifted edge with plenty of speed and effective speed rush moves, and he would add an element to Indianapolis’ pass rush that they don’t have right now.

  1. Atlanta Falcons - Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M

Stewart is another unproductive edge who has freakish length, size, power, and burst. He also generates a lot of power and pressure from the edge, even if he doesn't turn that into sacks. The stock on this Aggie is on the rise, and some teams will fall in love with his profile, believing they can turn him into a star. Atlanta could utilize him in a variety of packages, inside and out.

  1. Arizona Cardinals - Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Grant is an underrated athlete who is often confused for a “clogger” because of his huge frame. While the former Wolverine can clog and is ideally suited for nose tackle, he has enough lateral movement and agility to produce as a pass rusher. He would be a great fit for the inside of Arizona’s hybrid scheme, able to contribute in both 4-3 and 3-4 formations.

  1. Cincinnati Bengals - Walter Nolan, DT, Ole Miss

Assuming that Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson both stay in Cincy, voluntarily or not, then the Bengals’ top needs are in the secondary and on the interior of their defensive line. The release of Sheldon Rankins only aggravates one of those needs. Nolan is a souped-up and twitchy interior rusher with immense upside as a pass rusher.

  1. Seattle Seahawks - Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

There is no doubt that offensive line is a need for the Seahawks. The team allowed 123 interior quarterback pressures last year. Meanwhile, Abraham Lucas has played a total of 13 games over the past two seasons while allowing 30 quarterback pressures in his past 12 games. Banks is an upgrade over Lucas at right tackle, but he could also be a quality guard.

  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

With Mike Evans reaching the end of his career, the man called 'Tet' would be a logical long-term replacement. The Arizona product is a long-limbed contested catch monster with solid straight-line speed, much like Evans. The Buccaneers could get much younger and cheaper if they were to replace Godwin and Evans with the two McMillans in 2026.

  1. Denver Broncos - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

While Luther Burden III is the second-rated receiver on most boards, do not be surprised if Egbuka is the WR2 off the board. Egbuka is a strong, polished, and diligent slot who can play outside. Sean Payton could see him as a versatile weapon that can be deployed in a similar manner to how Sean McVay used Cooper Kupp during their peak.

  1. Pittsburgh Steelers - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

We are projecting Sam Darnold to the Steelers in this mock, meaning the team could look to add pieces to help him succeed. That could mean replacing free agent Najee Harris with a better, more rounded option. Hampton could end up going higher than some people think, and in this scenario he's seen as the bell-cow back Mike Tomlin has historically preferred.

  1. Los Angeles Chargers - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Jim Harbaugh is very familiar with Loveland’s abilities, given that the tight end was the best pass catcher on their national champion squad. The Chargers must surround Justin Herbert with more talent, and Loveland is easily the best offensive weapon left on this board. While the Wolverine’s shoulder injury could drop him, Harbaugh won’t pass on the talented route runner.

  1. Green Bay Packers - Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas

The Packers have historically liked versatile prospects who can play multiple roles in their defense. Barron has a history of playing in the slot, outside, in the box, and at safety. Aggravating the need for Barron is the potential exit of star cornerback Jaire Alexander, whom many beat writers believe is on his way out of Green Bay.

  1. Minnesota Vikings - Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Minnesota needs cornerback help if they don’t bring back their current free agents, but division rival Green Bay snagged their primary target in Barron. As a result, they pivot to the ultra-long and athletic Starks, who can play in the slot and act as a long-term replacement for the 36-year-old Harrison Smith.

  1. Houston Texans - Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Houston's demise this season was due in no small part to leaks along the interior of their offensive line. Zabel showed dominant interior traits at the Senior Bowl, and he has the ability to kick outside in a pinch. The former Bison would offer an immediate upgrade to one of the weakest spots on this roster.

  1. Los Angeles Rams - Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Dart is an outlier choice, but one that makes some sense. The Rams are expected to bring back Matthew Stafford despite granting him the chance to look for a trade, but Stafford is older, and the team wouldn't let him look at his options if they weren't starting to plan for his successor.

Dart is an underrated runner with an above-average arm, good size, lots of experience, and the toughness to beat Georgia despite injury and a lack of his top weapon (Tre Harris). In this scenario, Los Angeles extends Stafford for two years, giving them time to groom Dart before making him the starter in 2027.

  1. Baltimore Ravens - James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

Tremendous defensive talent always seems to fall to the Ravens, and it happens again in this mock. Pearce is inconsistent on film and doesn't bend as his frame suggests. However, the former Vol is also very long with surprising power and the ability to play in a variety of schemes. He would fit Baltimore's edge well, adding firepower to an already solid rotation.

  1. Detroit Lions - Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

With Kevin Zeitler an aging free agent and Booker falling further in this mock than many expect, the Lions jump on the opportunity to turn a strength into an even bigger strength. Booker is one of the safer picks in this class. Pass rushers who attack him head-on are swallowed up, and he can move the line in short-yardage situations.

  1. Washington Commanders - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Washington has to provide more weapons to their star quarterback, and Golden is a fine option. Jayden Daniels has a deep threat in Terry McLaurin, but the Longhorn is a smooth mover with good hands and quality route running. He would offer a fine short and intermediate option for Daniels.

While some may be surprised to see both Golden and Egbuka going ahead of Luther Burden III in this mock, buzz is circulating that Burden is falling on many boards due to his unexplained dip in production this year. I also suspect there are some attitude concerns. Whatever the reason, he is reportedly falling further than some think in NFL eyes.

  1. Buffalo Bills - Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

The Bills could use more beef and versatility in the middle of their defensive line. Harmon was one of college football's most productive pass-rushing interior defenders, but he has the wide frame to clog the lane and play the run.

  1. Kansas City Chiefs - Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Much like when the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay, the big game exposed a pass protection problem in Kansas City. Conerly is still raw in his hand placement, recognition, and angles. However, he is a nimble and smooth athlete who showed the ability to improve. KC has to be excited if this Duck falls to them.

  1. Philadelphia Eagles - Nic Scourton, DL, Texas A&M

The Eagles have long thrived on the backs of their offensive and defensive lines and it was their deep pass rush that secured the Super Bowl. However, key contributors like Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, and Zack Baun are all free agents. Scourton is a versatile lineman who can play multiple spots and help Philly absorb the loss of Sweat or Graham.

 

2025 NFL Mock Draft: Round 2

  1. Cleveland Browns - Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Jedrick Wills has taken a noteworthy step back since starting his career playing at a Pro Bowl level. Ersery is big body who can join another big body, Dawand Jones, who the team reportedly still likes as a long-term piece. In this class, the Browns are building the framework for a team that a future quarterback can inherit and succeed with.

  1. New York Giants - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

While the Giants have bigger needs, and Tyrone Tracy offered nice value last year, Henderson is a rising prospect in this class who is younger than Tracy and can do everything he does but better. If New York is focused on winning this year and saving some jobs, Henderson can help Cam Ward get to a .500 record that may help these execs and coaches stick around.

  1. Tennessee Titans - Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

The Titans made multiple attempts to fill their off-ball linebacker positions last year, executing trades and signing free agents. While Jack Gibbens and Kenneth Murray Jr. were both solid when healthy, the position lacks the kind of upside and versatility that Campbell brings. He’s an athletic and instinctive tackler who takes good angles and is a quality blitzer off the edge.

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

If the Jaguars are serious about helping Trevor Lawrence reach his ceiling, they have to catch a falling Burden. The elusive Tiger would offer the Jaguars an underneath weapon that can replace Christian Kirk, who is a likely cap casualty and is not nearly the threat that Burden is with the ball in his hands.

  1. Las Vegas Raiders - Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

The Raiders need help in the secondary, and they are a team that historically gravitates to high-upside players. Revel is oozing with upside. The injured Pirate is a long, fast, and strong corner who can stand up running backs at the goal and make up lost ground to speedy outside receivers. Las Vegas also has the time and patience to gamble on his injury risk.

  1. New England Patriots - Jack Bech, WR, TCU

This new Patriots regime tried to draft two impact receivers in last year’s loaded draft class, but neither has worked out yet. Bech is a more polished receiver than both Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, with much better hands than either. Bech is one of the more underrated prospects in this class, who can become a much better professional than most analysts seem to think.

  1. Chicago Bears - Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Jackson showed very well at left tackle when he was forced into the position mid-season after Josh Simmons’ injury. However, his long-term fit in the NFL is still at guard. Chicago takes him to start at left guard, knowing he can slide outside to tackle in a pinch if Braxton Jones or Darnell Wright go down with injuries.

  1. New Orleans Saints - Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Taysom Hill will not be around forever, and none of the tight ends on the Saints' roster has the pass-catching ability of Taylor. The LSU product is also a quality blocker, making him one of the most well-rounded prospects at his position in this class. While Elijah Arroyo is the better overall athlete and receiver, Taylor is the better-rounded prospect.

  1. Chicago Bears - Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College

Montez Sweat took a step back last season, and Austin Booker is a talented but raw prospect. Ezeiruaku was second in sacks in all of college football last season and would bolster a Bears pass rush that needs both depth and upside.

  1. New York Jets - Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

The Jets double-up on defensive picks, which makes sense given their choice of head coach. Umanmielen is another twitched-up and long edge who has plenty of room to grow and can do so in a rotation with Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald IV.

  1. San Francisco 49ers - Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

The 49ers desperately need an heir to Trent Williams, and they will likely be looking for pass rush help, given they historically overdraft that position. With that said, Thomas is a long, fast, and polished corner who could go in the first round. Getting him at this spot is good value for the 49ers, who can pair him with the Seminole corner (Renardo Green) they drafted last year.

  1. Dallas Cowboys - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

The Cowboys got a lot out of Rico Dowdle last year, but he's an older back who isn't likely to play an every-down role for Dallas in the long term. Jerry Jones wants to win now and backed that plan up by drafting a quality blocker in the first round. Now, they add a powerful, compact runner who can block and participate as a receiver.

  1. Indianapolis Colts - Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Under Chris Ballard, the Colts have selected talented but raw tight ends in multiple drafts. None of those picks worked out. Arroyo has more athleticism and better receiving skills than any of those past selections, giving Anthony Richardson a safety blanket capable of taking the top off a defense.

  1. Atlanta Falcons - Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

The Falcons' pass rush is so weak that they can afford to draft multiple players for the rotation, but the value at this point of our mock is at cornerback. Morrison is a first-round talent who is falling because of questions over his injured hip. If medicals find no long-term concerns there, his stock should rise.

  1. Arizona Cardinals - J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State

Arizona got their nose tackle in the first round of this mock, but they still need edge rushers. Tumoloau has plenty of length and the frame to play standing up or with his hand in the ground. He would be a fine fit for this multi-look scheme.

  1. Miami Dolphins - Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

The Dolphins could lose their top safety, Jevon Holland, to free agency. If they do, the ultra-athletic and well-built Emmanwori could be a replacement. If they re-sign Holland, then Emmanwori could replace an aging Jordan Poyer. Either way, this former Gamecock is too big and athletic to fall much further than this.

  1. Cincinnati Bengals - Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

The Bengals could stand to use all of their draft picks on defense this year, given just how bad the unit is. Watts is a ballhawk with the instincts to jump routes early and the tenacity to play in the box. He can play numerous roles in multiple looks, making him a valuable pick for a team with so many holes.

  1. Seattle Seahawks - Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State

Sawyer is a “hair on fire” type of defender. He would offer the Seahawks a rotational weapon who will be a major asset in run support. While it's unclear just how effective Sawyer would be as a professional pass rusher, he did have a nose for big plays at Ohio State and got plenty of pressure by never taking a play off.

  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

The Buccaneers aim to build out their secondary in this mock after lucking out and getting Tet McMillan in the first round. Amos is a productive corner with quick feet and good ball skills. He is a quality cover corner who forced 13 pass breakups and two interceptions last year.

  1. Denver Broncos - Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

Both Cody Barton and Alex Singleton are free agents, with Singleton coming off a season-ending injury. Schwesinger would fill at least one of those holes with reckless abandon. The former Bruin is an incredible risk-taker who makes big plays, is adequate in coverage, and is a quality blitzer.

  1. Pittsburgh Steelers - T.J. Sanders, DL, South Carolina

Sanders is the "best player available" choice for the Steelers. He is a fluid and athletic interior rusher who can move blockers out of his way with a powerful swipe or angle past them with burst. Sanders is ideally suited as a 3-tech in a 4-3 scheme, but he could also be a long-term replacement for the aging Cameron Heyward at 5-tech.

  1. Los Angeles Chargers - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

Johnson has a big frame but sports breakaway speed and a feel for the edges. With J.K. Dobbins a free agent and the Chargers wanting their offense to live off of the run game, drafting someone with Johnson's size and athleticism would make a lot of sense. Even if Dobbins returns, pairing him with Johnson makes sense, given Dobbins' injury history.

  1. Green Bay Packers - Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA

The Packers traded Preston Smith and haven’t gotten much from their investment in Lukas Van Ness yet. Adding my “Defensive Riser of the Senior Bowl” would give them more length, athleticism, and versatility on the edge. Oladejo has just one year of true edge experience, but he showed leadership and tremendous flexibility at his new position.

  1. Buffalo Bills - Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

The Bills continue to get value in this mock, nabbing a cornerback some have projected much higher. Hairston is a tough corner who takes the inside lane away in press coverage and can shadow the boundary. He needs to add size to help in run support, but he would help fill a need for Buffalo.

  1. Houston Texans - Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State

Houston needs more help on their offensive line, even after taking Zabel, but the value isn’t there in this spot. Beyond their need for blockers, one of their bigger needs is on the interior defensive line. Farmer is a powerful defensive tackle who doesn’t get many sacks, but he is strong against the run and has the power to push a double-team back into the pocket.

  1. Carolina Panthers - Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

The Panthers could consider a speedy offensive weapon like Jaylin Noel with this pick, but their lack of pass rush is a problem even if they draft Jalon Walker in the first. Jackson has the size and athleticism to play standing up or on the line.

  1. Baltimore Ravens - Darius Alexander, DL, Toledo

The Ravens can never get enough depth in their front seven. Alexander is an older prospect, but he has tremendous size and power. Despite his immense size, he plays with enough leverage and bend to fill multiple spots on a front. He could fulfill both nose and 5-tech responsibilities for the Ravens, adding even more talent and depth to the unit.

  1. Detroit Lions - Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

Porter is a former track star who played just one season as a defensive starter with the Cyclones, yet he was a team captain and an Academic All-American. He has tremendous size and he crossed the entire field to catch up to a streaking Kaleb Johnson, who had broken free along the opposing sideline. That kind of effort screams Dan Campbell.

  1. Washington Commanders - Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

Williams is a massive man who moves well for his size. He also lacks ideal instincts or handwork for a starting tackle, but he's young and there's reason to hope he will continue to grow into the finer points of his position. He offers the Commanders a project who will eventually become a quality starter who can keep Jayden Daniels clean.

  1. Buffalo Bills - Josiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan

With multiple free agents along their defensive line and a lack of true speed on that unit, Stewart makes a lot of sense for Buffalo in this spot. While he lacks the ideal size to play 4-3 defensive end, the former Wolverine would provide quality depth and a speed component the team lacks on its line.

  1. Kansas City Chiefs - Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee

An undersized 3-tech, Norman-Lott would add depth to a rotation that struggled in the Super Bowl. He can play inside and out, offering a protégé for Chris Jones in a defense that likes to mix and match its personnel. Norman-Lott got a lot of pressure with snap anticipation, quick stunts, and the ability to recognize blocking schemes.

  1. Philadelphia Eagles - Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

The Eagles tend to draft for future needs, planning for losses years in advance. They drafted Cam Jurgens as Jason Kelce’s replacement years in advance and did the same for Javon Hargrave. By drafting Higgins, they would get a big-bodied possession receiver who can make the offense harder to guard in 2025 and offer long-term flexibility if A.J. Brown ever moves on.
