2025 NFL mock draft signup for the annual BGN community mock is coming soon!

The BGN Community Mock Draft is back for another year! The actual 2025 NFL Draft start date, April 24, is four weeks away, so we’re just about ready to begin. Please make sure to check out the rules below.

In 2024, BGN member Philly21 finished as champion with a 91.14% approval rating by having the Titans take Joe Alt. As the winner, they will own the rightful claim to their choice of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick at No. 32 (Birds won Super Bowl LIX).

Who will be the winner this year?! It’s anyone’s guess, but you have to play to win, so get those keyboards ready. There are only so many spots up for grabs (31 to be exact).

REMINDER: The selection process doesn’t start until Friday, March 28 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. This is just a “HEADS UP” post to give everyone a fair shot at getting their team of choice.

READ THE RULES

Just like in the past, this year’s process will start at a specific time: Friday, March 28 at 2:00 PM ET, to be exact. If you want to be assigned to a pick, there are two things you need to do:

1) Before commenting, make sure the email address attached to your SB Nation account profile is up to date and available to be reached by me. That’s how I’ll be reaching out to you.

2) Comment below the article with the team and pick (No. X) you want.

TO REPEAT: ONCE YOUR PICK IS CLAIMED AND CONFIRMED by me in the official chart, I will contact you at the email address attached to your account. My work address is brandon.gowton@sbnation(dot)com. Please keep checking your email so that we can instantly get the process moving. If you do not receive an email invitation (within 60 minutes or so) to the Google doc from me after I have confirmed your pick in the chart, please contact me ASAP.

Teams will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. HOWEVER, you must have at least 300 comments or have been a member of BGN since January 1, 2025 in order to participate. (NOTE: this is a loose guideline more than a hard rule. Exceptions will be made as I see necessary.)
If you want a pick, don’t wait around! You can only pick one team/selection. If you’re requesting a team with more than one first-round pick, please be extra careful to specify the exact pick you want.
The first two selections will be posted to the front page on Monday, March 31. If you have the Tennessee Titans (No. 1) and Cleveland Browns (No. 2), BE PREPARED to email me your picks ASAP. Again: my e-mail is brandon.gowton@sbnation(dot)com.
With the exception of the very earliest picks, everyone’s pick will be due to me at least TWO DAYS before the pick is published on BGN’s front page. The exact schedule for when picks are DUE can be seen in the list at the bottom of this post.
Two picks will be posted every business day (Monday through Friday, no weekends) until we reach the end of our mock draft, which, conveniently enough, coincides with the beginning of draft week.
Standard fanpost etiquette applies – meaning please make your pick explanations at least 150 words long and give us a good effort. Punctuation is also appreciated.
If you want some examples of how the picks went down in previous years, [click here] and [here] [here] and [here] and [here] and [here] and [here] and [here] and [here] and [here] and [here].
The winner of the mock (and the recipient of next year’s Eagles pick) will be determined by a community approval rating poll placed on each article. Don’t forget to vote!
No trades – sorry. (We will adjust the draft order as needed if impacted by more real life trades.)

Keep an eye out for the selection post last this week (Friday, March 28 at 2:00 PM ET). Best of luck to everyone! Let’s have fun.
