Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Stewart registered 4.5 sacks total over 37 college games. Despite that, he was the 17th overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Stewart’s production on the field wasn’t eye-popping, but his performance at the NFL combine shot him up draft boards. Entering the event, he was considered one of the biggest traits-over-production players available.
Evaluating Stewart strictly on his stats doesn’t tell the full story. In three seasons at Texas A&M, Stewart finished with 65 combined tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 4.

The Indianapolis Coltsselected Tyler Warren with the 14th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Warren has been an extremely popular pick for the Colts in mock drafts, and it’s easy to see why. For one, tight end was a massive need, and two, he brings a do-it-all presence to the offense that can allow him to impact that unit in a variety of ways.
So with the selection still fresh, let’s head over to X to see reactions from this pick.

Finally, after months of mock drafts, the wait is over. The Las Vegas Raiders selected Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the 6th overall pick. Jeanty was very commonly mocked here for quite some time, but in the last few days there were reports that they preferred to build up the trenches. Well, now we know that was all a smoke screen, and the Raiders have their bellcow back.
Grade: A-
This pick will have its critics strictly because it’s a running back in the top 10.
