The 2025 NFL Draft is roughly six months away, yet it seems like it is right around the corner as discussions about the event heat up. Every media outlet, including us, has been putting out mock drafts.
In fact, we have a mock draft on Mondays every week here, and the latest can be found on our homepage.
The mock draft we discuss today is one from PFF’s NFL Draft podcast, The NFL Stock Exchange. The mock used the recent draft order, which had the Bucs drafting 13th overall. They gave them Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker. They chose Walker because they liked his pass-rush ability and his ability to play linebacker.
Trevor Sikkema compared Walker’s play style to that of current Bucs player Yaya Diaby. He likes the idea of the Bucs addressing two positions with one pick seemingly but especially likes his potential as a pass rusher.
The Bucs defense is going to need some help this offseason, in this case, it came in the NFL Draft.
