2025 NFL Draft: Top 20 Big Board Rankings

I’ve Scouted and ranked based on tape, traits, and translatability to the NFL. This class has elite versatility, great athletes, and underrated players flying under the radar. Here are my top 20 prospects heading into the 2025 NFL Draft cycle.

1. Travis Hunter - CB/WR (Colorado)
   Can make a case for him as CB 1 AND WR 1 in this class, 2 at worst at both spots. Elite ball skills.

2. Mason Graham - DT (Michigan)
   No bad tape. Most consistent player I scouted. Wrecking ball. Lined up inside, outside, 100% effort every play.

3. Tyler Warren - TE (Penn State)
   Do-everything tight end. His versatility is incredible.

4. Abdul Carter - LB (Penn State)
   Explosiveness, quick sideline-to-sideline speed. Disappeared vs some of the best tackles in the B1G like Conerly at Oregon and Ersery from Minnesota.

5. Omarion Hampton - RB (UNC)
   Most physically gifted running back. 6'1", 220 lbs. Most underrated player in the draft.

6. Ashton Jeanty - RB (Boise State)
   Total-package RB. Has everything you want in a premiere 3-down back.

7. Will Campbell - OT (LSU)
   Fundamentals, IQ, tough. Might actually be best guard in this class, not OT.

8. Malaki Starks - S (Georgia)
   Three straight seasons of great tape. High football IQ, sure tackler.

9. Matthew Golden - WR (Texas)
   Beats press consistently, good in space with the ball.

10. Jahdae Barron - CB (Texas)
    Versatile playmaker. Zone defender. Should be a day 1 impact starter at nickel.

11. Jalon Walker - LB (Georgia)
    Athletic, instinctive. Could be a long-term playmaker for the defense depending on scheme.

12. Tetairoa McMillan - WR (Arizona)
    Size, length, athleticism. Can be a true X receiver.

13. Josh Conerly Jr. - OT (Oregon)
    Elite physical tools. Needs to develop more consistency but a high-ceiling prospect.

14. Will Johnson - CB (Michigan)
    Elite quickness and change-of-direction skills. Will travel and shadow WR1s.

15. Shemar Stewart - DE (Texas A&M)
    Really high-potential player but his lack of production is alarming for a guy this gifted.

16. Shedeur Sanders - QB (Colorado)
    Big-play ability, accuracy, great poise under pressure, smart and composed in the pocket.

17. Cam Ward - QB (Miami)
    Impressive arm strength and mobility. Big time playmaker. Needs to continue to refine his decision-making.

18. James Pierce - DE (Tennessee)
    Twitchy, great bend. Quick feet, Not a great motor, takes plays off. Not ideal weight, gets bullied sometimes.

19. Josh Simmons - OT (Ohio State)
    Good flexibility, quick feet, good balance. Solid pass protection but can improve against stronger defenders.

20. Mike Green - EDGE (Marshall)
    Complete player. Dominated small schools but then proved himself at the Senior Bowl.
