Ryder Stoolie's NFL Mock Draft (Picks 11-20)


Welcome back to another edition of my NFL mock draft. This is part two of three. If you missed part one, you can find that here, along with my best bets for the first round of the NFL Draft, which begins at 7:00 p.m. CT on Thursday, April 24.


Below, we will have picks 11-20 for the first round, and on Thursday morning, I will release part three, which includes picks 21-32. Remember, this mock includes no trades, which won't happen in real life, but we are going with the flow.


Now, let's get on with the show.


San Francisco 49ers Round 1, Pick 11

JAHDAE BARRON, CB, TEXAS — Barron is a versatile corner who can immediately hop into a starting role, likely a nickel corner for the 49ers, who had a tough season dealing with injuries in 2024. With Robert Saleh back in town, Barron enjoys zone coverage schemes and would be a nice fit.

2024 stats: 67 tackles, 3 TFL, 5 interceptions


Dallas Cowboys Round 1, Pick 12

MATTHEW GOLDEN, WR, TEXAS — Three Longhorns off the board in a row here with Banks at 10 and Barron at 11. Golden reported a 4.29 40-yard dash time and was one of college football's elite deep threats last fall. Now, he stays with the instate Cowboys with hopes of making an impact for a team that desperately needs receiver help alongside CeeDee Lamb.

2024 stats: 58 catches, 987 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns



Miami Dolphins, Round 1 Pick 13

WILL JOHNSON, CB, MICHIGAN — With the latest news that the Dolphins are looking to ship former All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Miami will be selecting his replacement. A lot has been made about Johnson's injury (knee), which he dealt with in college. However, I think Johnson would be CB2 in this class behind Travis Hunter, and I still have confidence that he will be successful at this level. I'm taking a risk and assuming the Dolphins aren't afraid to take a risk on a player with an injury history.

2024 stats: 14 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 touchdowns


Indianapolis Colts, Round 1 Pick 14

TYLER WARREN, TE, PENN STATE — Warren will likely be the first TE taken off the board on Thursday night, and there's a good chance he'll be taken before the Colts have a chance to select the former Nittany Lion. Not only does he bring elite talent as a pass catcher, but he is also a nasty blocker in the run department. He was a big reason why Penn State made it as far as they did in the CFP and will be a nice target for Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones.

2024 stats: 104 receptions, 1,233 receiving yards, 8 touchdowns


Atlanta Falcons, Round 1 Pick 15

MYKEL WILLIAMS, EDGE, GEORGIA — There have been rumors, according to NFL Draft experts, that Williams has started to surge up draft boards as the day gets closer. According to FDSportsbook, Williams is the betting favorite to be the No. 9 pick now. It's easy to see why when you throw his tape on. Although he is still developing as a pass rusher, he has the potential to explode onto the scene early and will be a solid run defender from day one. The Falcons need pass rushing in the worst way possible with not having a player record double-digit sacks since Vic Beasley in 2016.

2024 stats: 21 tackles, 9 TFL, 5 sacks, 2 PD


Arizona Cardinals, Round 1 Pick 16

MIKE GREEN, EDGE, MARSHALL — Edge rushers are starting to go quickly in the middle of round one. According to PFF, Green graded above 90.0 as a pass rusher and a run defender, in addition to boasting a pass-rush win rate of over 20% and a run-stop rate of over 9%. He led the country in sacks last year (17) and the Sun Belt in TFLs (23). For anyone who doubted his ability to perform against top competition, Green was able to leave the Senior Bowl early after making a name for himself and solidifying his spot as a first-round pick.


Cincinnati Bengals, Round 1 Pick 17

WALTER NOLEN, DL, OLE MISS—This is probably a tad low for Nolen given how he has been mocked recently, but I'll stick to my gut and believe that there are better defensive linemen options out there. The Bengals need help in many spots along the defense, and it wouldn't surprise me if they took some sort of pass rusher, but the former All-American is a player I have enjoyed getting to know since I started watching prospects.

2024 stats: 48 total tackles, 14 TFL, 6.5 sacks, 3 PD, 2 fumble recoveries


Seattle Seahawks, Round 1 Pick 18

NICK EMMANWORI, S, SOUTH CAROLINA — Everyone, meet my favorite prospect in the 2025 draft class. The tape on Emmanwori immediately pops out at you. His athleticism, ball-hawking skills, make him an enjoyable prospect to watch. Imagine him playing a Kyle Hamilton type role in this Seahawks defense. Regardless if he doesn't go this high, whoever lands him is going to get a solid NFL player.

2024 stats: 88 total tackles, 3 TFL, 4 interceptions, 2 touchdowns


Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Round 1 Pick 19

JIHAAD CAMPBELL, LB, ALABAMA — Campbell is probably the most consistent tackler in the draft. I think he can be used similarly to how Devin White was early in his NFL career. He needs to do a better job of play recognition, but you can't go wrong with drafting an Alabama defender. He will be an effective pass rusher who will use his athleticism to his advantage.

2024 stats: 117 total tackles, 12 TFL, 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles


Denver Broncos, Round 1 Pick 20

OMARION HAMPTON, RB, NORTH CAROLINA — Probably a pick that I'm most confident in happening this late in the first round. The Broncos have done their homework on Hampton and other running backs. They want to pair an elusive back with their new franchise QB, Bo Nix. Sean Peyton is looking for a running back after a non-existent run game since he has been the man in charge. Hampton fights for extra yards, as evidenced by his 4.29 yards after contact per attempt during the last two years at UNC.

2024 stats: 281 carries, 1,660 rushing yards, 15 touchdowns
