Official Big Board for the 2025 NFL Draft w/ Full Positional Rankings at the end. This article will be updated at various points throughout the offseason as more players are watched and scouted.
Top-100 Big Board
1. Travis Hunter - CB/WR - Colorado
The 2024 Heisman trophy winner is a unique player with first round grades for me on both sides of the ball. Hunter’s rare athleticism and ball skills at either position make it difficult to have anyone else #1.
2. Abdul Carter - EDGE - Penn State
Carter is an explosive and flexible pass rusher. He was one of the most dominant rushers in college football despite only playing a singular season at the position after transitioning from off-ball LB. Which raises the question how high does his ceiling go?
3. Mason Graham - IDL - Michigan
A well rounded prospect with the tools to match his production, Graham is one of the “safest” prospects in the class. While there are some questions about this size the overall body of work is hard to ignore. Graham is a versatile lineman who excels as both a run defender and pass rusher, which should lock him in as a Top-10 pick this years class.
4. Ashton Jeanty - RB - Boise State
Jeanty is a one man highlight reel with his elite tackling breaking ability and explosive first step. He is more than just a small conference pub-stomper with the three down difference skills to overhaul a teams offensive approach.
5. Will Johnson - CB - Michigan
Johnson is a long fluid corner with the ability to play man or zone coverage. A foot injury slowed him down in 2024 but his pro ready game makes him one of the top players in the class.
6. Will Campbell - OG - LSU
Campbell is a polished and experienced lineman with the processing skills to start right away. There are questions whether he is a guard or tackle but either way he projects to immediately improve any unit he enters.
7. Josh Simmons - OT - Ohio State
Simmons is an athletic tackle who is extremely smooth in pass protection. A knee injury cut his 2024 season sort but the early returns looked like a future franchise left tackle.
8. Armand Membou - OT - Missouri
Membou is an uber athletic lineman who took major strides in 2024. His body type looks more like a guard but Membou's ability to get out and block in space with more than adequate measurables should get him a shot at RT first.
9. Tyler Warren - TE - Penn State
Warren is a tough powerful tight end with the athleticism to be a mismatch in the passing game. His ability to line up in-line and block combined with his receiving prowess, gives him a shot to be the rare Top-10 pick at the position.
10. Malaki Starks - SAF - Georgia
A freshman standout for a National Title winning Bulldogs team, Starks has been league bound from the moment he set foot on the field in Athens. His 2024 season was his least impactful due to taking over more nickel responsibilities but his versatility and processing skills are exactly what teams look for in a modern day DB.
11. Omarion Hampton - RB - North Carolina
Hampton is a powerful and explosive runner with a broad frame. Over shadowed in a class with Ashton Jeanty, Hampton looks every part of a three down work horse back at the next level.
12. Kenneth Grant - IDL - Michigan
Grant possesses a rare commination of size and athleticism for a defensive lineman. Strong run defense with intriguing pass rush upside will be a tantalizing combination for teams in the first round.
13. Shemar Stewart - EDGE - Texas A&M
Stewart is this years height, weight, speed freak with limited production. A rare athlete with the size to play both edge and defensive line, Stewart has immense upside. Texas A&M style of defense limited his opportunity to full let loose indicating his best football may be ahead of him.
14. Cam Ward - QB - Miami (FL)
Ward is a Houdini like playmaker with the athleticism and arm talent to be an electric signal caller. His risk taking appetite and smaller stature create some concerns, but in a weak class he appears to be the best option for teams in search of a franchise QB.
15. TreVeyon Henderson - RB - Ohio State
Henderson’s tape checks all the boxes for a first round running back, speed, vision and third down ability, he has it all. A lengthy injury history and workload questions knock him down the board, but the on-field talent is undeniable.
16. Mike Green - EDGE - Marshall
Green is a small school athlete who rocketed up boards early in the process after a Senior Bowl performance that put his quickness and bend on full display. There are still lingering off-field questions but getting answers to size and competition concerns for one of the best pure speed rushers in the class cemented him as a 1st Round Pick.
17. Azareye’h Thomas - CB - Florida State
Thomas is a long physical press corner with easy movement skills. A penchant for grabbing will generate more flags than you would like and the overall long speed is about average but for man coverage heavy teams their isn’t a better prospect in the class.
18. Colston Loveland - TE - Michigan
Loveland is exactly what the NFL looks for in its move tight ends. Big and long with smooth movement skills to separate from DBs, he is the rare TE who can have the offense run through him. Passable blocking also allows him to operate as the lone tight end in 3-WR sets, setting him apart from previous pass first TEs in recent years.
19. Jihaad Campbell - LB - Alabama
Campbell is a long athletic linebacker with an ideal skillset for the modern game. While he is still rather raw as a run defender, his coverage and pash rush skills make him one of the rare college backers who is worth a first round selection.
20. Tetairoa McMillan - WR - Arizona
A big long receiver with tremendous ball skills, McMillan looks the part of an NFL X-WR. Surprisingly smooth movement skills for a player of his size make him the favorite to be the top WR in the class.
21 . Jahdae Barron - CB - Texas
The 2024 Jim Thorpe award winner was one of the biggest breakouts of the college football season. The long time slot corner known for his football IQ and run defense displayed the ability to succeed on the outside during his Senior season, lifting his draft stock to the 1st Round
22. Matthew Golden - WR - Texas
The Houston transfer took a while to get going in his first season, but emerged as a star for the Longhorns down the stretch. A dynamic athlete with the quickness to create separation at all three levels, Golden looks like the perfect Z in the modern game.
23. Luther Burden III - WR - Missouri
The 2023 Biletnikoff finalist didn’t have quite the same year statistically in 2024, but on tape still looks every part of an explosive YAC threat he was as a sophomore. An excellent athlete with fantastic hands, Burden will provide instant playmaking to his new team and has the upside to grow into a terrifying route runner with more experience.
24. Mykel Williams - EDGE - Georgia
Williams looks the part of an NFL edge rusher when it comes to size, length and explosiveness. Injuries and less than optimal usage limited his production but the tools give him a high floor as a run defender with an untapped power rush ceiling.
25. Walter Nolen - IDL - Ole Miss
Nolen is a long slippery lineman with tremendous physical upside. Technique that is a work in progress makes his down-to-down impact inconsistent, but he has the tools to be game changer on the interior.
26. Jalon Walker - EDGE/LB - Georgia
One of the most polarizing players in the class, Walker is a special athlete in space. At his peak he had the pass rush skills and instincts to be a game breaking weapon but questions on what his exact role should be create a scary floor.
27. Josh Conerly Jr. - OT - Oregon
Conerly is a fleet footed tackle who excels out in space on zone run concepts and in pass protection. Improved hand usage allowed him to take a significant leap in 2024 and push himself into first round conversations.
28. Donovan Ezeiruaku - EDGE - Boston College
Ezeiruaku is a long twitched up pass rusher who is going to make his money chasing after the quarterback. While he might not have the size or speed of typical top flight pass rushers, his depth of rush moves allows him to be a consistent force off the edge.
29. Nic Scourton - EDGE - Texas A&M
Scourton is a big explosive edge rusher with a dynamite spin move. A move to a more traditional beefed up DE in 2024 limited his production, but the 2023 version of him at Purdue looked like top flight pass rusher.
30. James Pearce Jr. - EDGE - Tennessee
Pearce enters the draft off impressive back to back 50+ pressure seasons in the SEC. Known for his speed rush ability it has actually been his improved run defense at sub-250 pounds that was the most notable change from 2023 to 2024. Where his overall range lands on draft night is up in the air due to off-field and effort concerns but he has the rush profile of a top-20 pick.
31. Derrick Harmon - IDL - Oregon
The FBS leader in pressures among DTs, Harmon is a talented interior rusher. His wide base and strong lower half make him an effective run defender and well rounded player, even if he needs work on finishing plays.
32. Tyler Booker - OG - Alabama
Booker is a powerful and experienced guard. His size and strength make him a perfect fit for gap scheme runs teams. Positional value might knock him down on boards but his high floor makes him plug and play ready in the right offense.
33. Emeka Egbuka - WR - Ohio State
One of the most consistent players in the class, Egbuka has seemed a lock for WR2 duties at the next level ever since he emerged in his freshman year. He might lack elite traits but his route running and blocking abilities will be vital additions to any NFL offense either out wide or in the slot.
34. Benjamin Morrison - CB - Notre Dame
Morrison put out clear first round tape as a true sophomore in 2023 before a hip injury cut his 2024 season short. His medicals are going to be a major question mark but someone will take a swing on the quick footed corner with CB1 upside.
35. Shavon Revel - CB - East Carolina
Revel might be a small school standout but he shows rare size and speed for the position. An ACL injury ended his 2024 campaign in Week 3 but his tools are first round caliber and give him CB1 upside in a man coverage scheme.
36. Tyleik Williams - IDL - Ohio State
The best run stuffer in the class, Williams is ready made to man the A-gap at the next level. He never quite realized the pass rush upside he showed his freshman year, but at worst is an early down starter who occasionally flashes as a rusher.
37. Elic Ayomanor - WR - Stanford
Ayomanor is a big physical receiver with surprisingly quick feet. He might not have the top end explosiveness or twitch to be at true #1, but his route running and blocking ability make him a versatile and impactful addition to any WR room.
38. Aireontae Ersery - OT - Minnesota
A multi-year started on the blindside for Minnesota, Ersery has the ideal build and movement skills for a starting LT. While there are still a few technique issues he needs to clean up to reach his ceiling, he checks all the boxes to come off the board early on Day-2.
39. Maxwell Hairston - CB - Kentucky
Hairston is an explosive and twitched up corner with excellent ball skills. A leaner frame combined with an injury history might scare off some teams, but he has scheme versatility and instant starter ability on the outside.
40. Kelvin Banks Jr. - OT/OG - Texas
Early in the process Banks looked to be a candidate for the top lineman in this class with his movement skills and early production. Length and balance questions have lowered his stock a little, but he still projects to be an instant starter at either guard or tackle.
41. Trey Amos - CB - Ole Miss
Amos is a rangy corner with excellent ball skills. Average top speed create some concern about matching up with top targets in man coverage but he should be a quality starting outside CB.
42. Xavier Watts - SAF - Notre Dame
One of the best defensive backs in all of college football the past few years, Watts is a versatile and technically sound defender. He displays elite instincts on the back end to cover up average tools and has rare ball skills to create splash plays in coverage.
43. Andrew Mukuba - SAF - Clemson
Mukuba has a slight frame but makes up for it with versatility and athleticism. The former nickel corner is a quick mover with the ball skills and attitude to be a difference maker on the back end from a variety of alignments.
44. Grey Zabel - IOL - North Dakota State
A former college tackle who projects to move inside, Zabel is a well-rounded blocker. The versatility to play all 5 spots along the line, combined with above average strength and movement skills make him a candidate to be the first interior player off the board.
45. T.J. Sanders - IDL - South Carolina
Sanders is the typical undersized, explosive penetrating 3T. While he will never be a great run defender, he is a perfect fit for an aggressive attacking front given his burst and pass rush ability.
46. Landon Jackson - EDGE - Arkansas
Jackson is a big explosive rusher who put up excellent production across multiple seasons in the SEC. His unorthodox frame and role questions make it difficult to pin down a landing spot for him but he has enough plus traits to be a #2 in a 4-down front defense.
47. Jaylin Noel - WR - Iowa State
Noel is the player most likely to be this years Ladd McConkey, an undersized speedster with 3-level separation skills, he can be a Day-1 starting Z. The size might scare off some teams but his ball skills and effort often makeup for his lack of mass at the catch point.
48. Jayden Higgins - WR - Iowa State
The size component of the talented Iowa State WR duo, Higgins is one on of the few true outside WRs at the top of this class. While he might display some athletic limitations, he is a smart route runner with strong hands at the catch point.
49. Jack Bech - WR - TCU
The prototype for a modern day Power Slot, Bech is a rugged route runner who excels against zone coverage. His blend of YAC ability and blocking are the perfect combination for an F-WR who aligns close to the box.
50. Carson Schwesinger - LB - UCLA
Schwesinger was a first year starter in 2024, after being a long time reserve walk-on, and impressed with his athleticism and motor for the Bruins. A big jump in weight from 220 to 240 at the combine creates a fascinating ceiling given his speed and pound for pound strength.
51. Kevin Winston Jr. - SAF - Penn State
Winston is an explosive downhill safety who thrives in the run game. An ACL injury cut his 2024 season short, but prior to the injury his tape was first round caliber for a strong safety.
52. Shedeur Sanders - QB - Colorado
Sanders is a quick accurate rhythm passer with a boat load of experience. He may lack the ideal tools for a franchise QB, but his high floor playstyle projects well to point guard duties.
53. Tate Ratledge - IOL - Georgia
Ratledge is a seasoned veteran who has excelled for years at the SEC level. While his tall linear build is more traditionally seen in tackles, he has the movement skills and power to be a quality starter from the jump.
54. Darien Porter - CB - Iowa State
Porter was a long time special teams standout and backup receiver before getting a shot at DB in 2024. An elite athlete with long limbs he has the ball skills and instincts to be a fantastic outside zone corner.
55. Kaleb Johnson - RB - Iowa
A tall fluid runner with good straight-line speed, Johnson is built to run wild in a zone scheme offense. He will need to improve his third down abilities at the next level, but Johnson is already one of the best pure runners in the class.
56. Elijah Arroyo - TE - Miami (FL)
Arroyo didn’t get a true shot at starting until this past year due to knee injuries, but his blend of movement skills and size are exactly what NFL teams look for at the position. He has the speed to win vertically down the field with budding blocking skills to live in-line.
57. Cam Skattebo - RB - Arizona State
One of the national darlings from the 2024 College Football Playoffs, Skattebo is a physical runner with excellent contact balance. He shows the vision and pass catching ability to be a workhorse back in a gap run scheme, even if he will never be the most dynamic runner.
58. Quinshon Judkins - RB - Ohio State
Judkins is one of the most interesting evaluations in this year’s class. An All-SEC back in 2023, his burst and creativity took a sharp downturn in 2024. A stellar testing profile at the combine creates optimism that the talented first round caliber back is still in there.
59. Bradyn Swinson - EDGE - LSU
Swinson was a late college breakout who didn’t really get going until his 5th season, but has the length and burst to be a terror off the edge. While he still is figuring out quite how to rush the passer on a consistent basis, the tools are worth a swing on Day-2.
60. Josaiah Stewart - EDGE - Michigan
Every draft class there is always one undersized EDGE who plays levels above his size, this year that’s Josaiah Stewart. The mass and length are well below traditional thresholds, but his aggressive nature versus the run and ability to generate pressure of the EDGE are valuable traits in any DL room.
61. Omarr Norman-Lott - IDL - Tennessee
Norman-Lott is one of the most disruptive interior players in this entire class. Primarily a rotation player his entire career it will be hard to depend on him taking on a full compliment of snaps, but a wipeout relief pitcher is still extremely valuable even if he can’t go 6 to 7 innings.
62. Dylan Sampson - RB - Tennessee
Sampson is a dynamic ball carrier with game changing speed. Elite production in the SEC at only 20 years old puts him in rare company, and while he still has to clean up fumbling issues and pass protection, he has 3-down upside as a teams main ball carrier.
63. Alfred Collins - IDL - Texas
One of the best pure run defenders in this year’s class, Collins is a long powerful interior lineman. The pass rush upside has never fully come together, but his ability to take away multiple gaps in the run game from a variety of alignments is as valuable as ever.
64. Charles Grant - OT - William & Mary
A small school tackle, Grant has all the physical tools to be a starter in the league. He still needs to add mass and might not be a fit for gap schemes, but his length and foot speed would be an ideal fit for a wide zone offense.
65. Donovan Jackson - IOL - Ohio State
Jackson made waves in 2024 when he shifted from OG, where he was an All-Conference player, to LT as an injury replacement to aid Ohio State on its National Title Run. While his future will be returning to guard, it’s hard not to fall in love with his versatility and mental toughness, not to mention good tape at both positions.
66. Jalen Royals - WR - Utah State
Royals is a compactly built and explosive receiver. Primarily an outside WR in college, he has inside-out versatility with the ball skills and YAC ability to be a quality zone beater at the NFL level.
67. Shemar Turner - IDL - Texas A&M
Turner is a long rangy defender who plays with relentless effort. He is still far away from being a finished product which creates inconsistencies in his play, but his motor and versatility will find a home in any teams rotation.
68. Tre Harris - WR - Ole Miss
One of the few true X-WRs in this class Harris is a tall receiver with the long speed to stack and win vertically. Like most players from the Ole Miss offense his college tape requires some role projection to the next level, but he has the tools to be a starting perimeter WR in the league.
69. Wyatt Milum - IOL - West Virginia
Milum has been one of the steadiest tackles in football since he stepped on the field as a freshman for the Mountaineers. His measurables project more favorably inside, but his technique and well rounded game will make him a stellar guard.
70. Darius Alexander - IDL - Toledo
Alexander is an older prospect from the MAC, but that doesn’t mean he is lacking in talent. An ideal mix of size and athleticism for the position, Alexander is a disruptive interior player whose best ball is likely still ahead of him.
71. Nick Emmanwori - SAF - South Carolina
Few players in NFL Combine history are more athletic than Nick Emmanwori, creating lofty comps such as Derwin James. The functional athleticism on the field isn’t quite up to the testing numbers, but his size and burst make him an intriguing big slot or sub-package linebacker for a creative coordinator.
72. Bhayshul Tuten - RB - Virginia Tech
Tuten has the burst and breakaway speed wide zone coaches dream of in their offense. One of the most explosive backs in this entire class Tuten is far from a perfect prospect, but for teams in need of a rotational back with juice there’s not many better options.
73. Kyle Williams - WR - Washington State
Few players have seen more of a late rise than Kyle Williams in this draft cycle. A loose fluid route runner with tremendous deep ball skills, he looks every bit the part of field stretching #2 despite a leaner frame.
74. Xavier Restrepo - WR - Miami (FL)
Nothing about the on paper profile for Restrepo will blow you away. He is slow and small, but all he does is get open. Restrepo’s ability to quickly change direction to create separation underneath and blocking effort in the run game gives him a high floor as a #3 slot-WR at the next level.
75. J.T. Tuimoloau - EDGE - Ohio State
A stout and ferocious run defender, Tuimoloau is exactly what teams need from their non-elite rushers. He primarily wins with strength and effort due to average tools, but should still be good for 6-8 sacks a season as a teams strong side base end.
76. Jonas Sanker - SAF - Virginia
Sanker has all the makings of a dependable and versatile safety at the next level. He is an explosive athlete with plus mass and length, along with quality production across multiple years. He does have to clean up some technique issues, but the talent could have us looking at him as a Top-50 player in this class by the end of his rookie deal.
77. Ozzy Trapilo - OT - Boston College
Trapilo is an experienced and versatile lineman with good size and mass. His best home is likely where he finished his career at Boston College, at RT, where despite average length he has the technique and mental processing to be a solid starter.
78. Mason Taylor - TE - LSU
Taylor is a fluid moving tight end with the size to be a starting Y or F in the NFL. He still needs to continue growing as a blocker to realize his upside, but has the tools to develop into a well-rounded and dependable starter.
79. Jaxson Dart - QB - Ole Miss
Dart checks a lot of the preliminary boxes for a QB prospect with good production and above average arm talent and athleticism. The major question with him is how will he translate from Ole Miss’s RPO heavy offense and develop as a pure processor at the next level.
80. Tyler Shough - QB - Louisville
One of the oldest prospects in this class, Shough has taken a long windy road to get here. He possesses ideal size and arm talent for the position that should give him a solid floor, but long term health and ability to deal with pressure create questions about whether he will ever develop into an impact starter.
81. Jacob Parrish - CB - Kansas State
An undersized feisty corner, Parrish is one of the most underrated prospects in the entire class. He is an athletic DB with the movement skills and instincts to play either man or zone coverage from the slot or outside.
82. Marcus Mbow - IOL - Purdue
Mbow is an athletic lineman with an unorthodox movement style that gives pass rushers fits. His lack of size and length will likely slide him inside at the next level, but 5 position versatility given his athletic profile is very valuable.
83. Cobee Bryant - CB - Kansas
Bryant is an aggressive and instinctive corner with excellent ball skills. His thin wiry frame and grab happy coverage style won’t be for every team but he has the mental makeup to take a CB2/3 job at the next level.
84. Jack Sawyer - EDGE - Ohio State
Sawyer is a hard nosed physical edge with a penchant for making plays in big moments. He lacks the typical speed and bend of a top tier pass rusher but should find a nice home as a dirty work #2.
85. Jared Ivey - EDGE - Ole Miss
Ivey is a long powerful rusher with the versatility to slide up and down the line. He lacks ideal burst or bend typically looked for from an EDGE rusher, but his play strength and effort often make up for it.
86. Jonah Savaiinaea - IOL - Arizona
A college tackle with a broad frame, Savaiinaea is an impressive downhill blocker. A future NFL guard, by his own admission, Savaiinaea has the burst and play strength to be a versatile high floor starter at either spot.
87. Demetrius Knight Jr. - LB - South Carolina
Knight is an older prospect with average athleticism but in a weak LB class after the Top-2, his instincts set him apart from the rest of the class, Knight has the processing skills to be an above average run defender and zone dropper at MIKE backer.
88. Gunnar Helm - TE- Texas
Mr. Steady Eddy in this year’s TE class there is not a ton Helm doesn’t do well. While his size and athletic ability won’t blow anyone away, he is dependable option over the middle with the play strength to be an above average blocker.
89. Devin Neal - RB - Kansas
Devin Neal isn’t going to blow anyone away with his size or speed but he is a sound runner with excellent vision. He likely lacks the upside to be a game changing back, but brings a high floor playstyle to be a lead back in a rotation.
90. Damien Martinez - RB - Miami (FL)
Martinez is a powerful downhill runner with surprising agility of his size. He lacks the top end speed to be a difference maker but his contact balance and blocking should lead to him being a quality starter in a gap scheme.
91. J.J. Pegues - IDL - Ole Miss
One of the more interesting players in this class, Pegues is an athletic interior lineman who also moonlights as a FB. A gifted athlete for his size, Pegues has the upside to be a disruptive pass rusher if he can find more consistency with his effort and pad level.
92. Billy Bowman Jr. - SAF - Oklahoma
Everything about Bowman’s profile says he shouldn’t make it at the NFL level, but despite his concerningly small stature he just makes plays. a 4 year starter with excellent instincts and ball skills to live as a true center field FS, it’s hard to see Bowman not carving out a role for himself.
93. Jalen Milroe - QB - Alabama
Jalen Milroe is one of the best pure athletes in this class and will instantly become one of the top runners at the QB position from the instant he steps foot on the field. The question will be can he get his accuracy and processing skills to a level where a team will give him the chance to use those gifts.
94. Femi Oladejo - EDGE - UCLA
A former LB as recently as the start of the 2024 season, Oladejo is a converted EDGE with impressive power and explosiveness. He is still working on understanding the finer points of the position but the raw tools make for an intriguing project on Day-2.
95. Princely Umanmielen - EDGE - Ole Miss
Umanmielen is an explosive and bendy pass rusher with high level production at the SEC level. His undersized, lean frame creates questions about his 3-down ability, but his pass rush juice gives him a high floor as a designated rusher on passing downs.
96. Dorian Strong - CB - Virginia Tech
Strong is a long instinctive corner who best fits in a zone coverage scheme. Despite his length, he lacks the strength or quickness to play press coverage and will be relegated to specific defenses as a result.
97. Nohl Williams - CB - California
Williams is a long slender DB with tremendous ball skills. He is a well-rounded coverage player, but lacks the top end traits to be a difference making player on the back end of a defense.
98. Kyle Kennard - EDGE - South Carolina
The 2024 Bronko Nagurski Award winner, Kennard is a long productive edge rusher. He is a linear athlete who lacks the functional bend or strength to move around formations, but has a solid floor as a rotational rusher.
99. Ashton Gillotte - EDGE - Louisville
Gillotte is a compact rusher with a thick powerful lower half. His stiffness and lack of twitch creates a modest pass rush ceiling, but his blend of power and burst should make him a quality #2.
100. Jared Wilson - OC - Georgia
Wilson is the best pure center in this year’s draft class. A one year starter at Georgia, he is an easy mover with the upside to get even better as he becomes more confident and polished in his technique.
