2025 nfl draft big board travis hunter leads top 150 shedeur qb1 over

The NFL Draft is just days away and final grades are in for the Class of 2025 prospects. With no team needs to satisfy and data from the Combine and pro days factored in, the following is a list and rationale of my highest-ranked 150 prospects available in this year's draft. Why the top 150, you might be wondering? Because that extends into the fifth round, covering the range where the vast majority of NFL starters, not to mention All-Pro selections, were drafted over the past decade. Athletes are listed according to their official measurements taken at the Combine, with heights rounded up to the nearest full inch, if necessary. 50.

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State (5-11, 202): One of my favorite players in this class, Henderson plays bigger, faster and tougher than his frame suggests, showing the vision, contact balance, ball security and grit... The calendar flipping to Jan. 1 doesn't mean much regarding the NFL draft. The yearly cycle runs from August to April. Yet the College Football Playoff does provide gifts during the holiday season. Some of the nation's best players were on display heading into the new year, with a third of the Bleacher Report Scouting Department's .css-wrcrjw{margin:0;font-size:1.6rem;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;font-family:Proxima Nova,Proxima Nova Fallback Helvetica,Proxima Nova Fallback Arial;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;letter-spacing:0rem;line-height:1.92rem;color:var(--br--palette-foreground__link__secondary__default-mainChannel);font-size:inherit;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:normal;}.css-3nqh9c{-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:rgba(var(--br--palette-primary-mainChannel) / 0.4);margin:0;font-size:1.6rem;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;font-family:Proxima Nova,Proxima...

All the while, the B/R scouts (see: below) continue the evaluation process. Those evaluations remain ongoing and will continue all the way up to draft week. Brandon Thorn: Brandon is the author of the Trench Warfare newsletter, which focuses exclusively on offensive and defensive line evaluation. He also contributes as an analyst to Establish the Run and serves as the scouting coordinator for OL Masterminds. Dame Parson: Dame is the lead host of the Locked On NFL Draft podcast. He also spent three years as a senior draft analyst for The Draft Network while evaluating draft prospects as the founder of The Scouting Room.

In two weeks, the 2025 NFL draft will kick off with Round 1 from Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers' home will welcome the rest of the league for three days of draft action that could provide another crop of future stars for the league. A few attributes set this draft class apart from many others seen in recent years. For one, there aren't many blue-chip talents outside of the top two prospects. Teams picking late in the top 10 may get a less-talented prospect than the same position a year ago. But this class makes up for it with impressive depth in the middle rounds.

Players selected at No. 15 and No. 55 overall likely won't be much different from a talent perspective. Steelers QB options: Pittsburgh to target QB even if Aaron Rodgers signs Todd McShay mock draft: Takeaways from analyst's latest mock Overall, this is a great class for teams needing help at defensive line, running back, tight end or guard.

There aren't many high-end cornerbacks or wide receivers but both positions have easily a dozen prospects worth developing into starting players. The Tennessee Titans kicked off the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Miami QB Cam Ward at No. 1 overall. Find out where all 150 prospects on NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah's Big Board landed during the seven-round event. Hunter is a lean, athletic playmaker who starred on both sides of the ball for the Buffaloes, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2024. He has a narrow frame and is a very smooth-flowing athlete.

On offense, he is creative in his release to escape press as a receiver. He is constantly changing gears to keep cornerbacks off balance and he never wastes steps at the top of his route. He drops his weight and explodes out of the break. He has elite body control and hands. He can pluck balls well outside his frame with grace and ease. After the catch, he is silky smooth and elusive.

He doesn’t have elite top speed, but he’s fast enough to not get caught. On defense, he was much improved in 2024. He didn’t take as many unnecessary risks at cornerback, relying more on discipline and technique to stay in position. He can locate the ball and picked it off seven times over the past two seasons. My only concern is the question of how long he will be able to physically hold up if he continues to play WR and CB full-time at the professional level. I believe there is a way for him to make an impact on both sides of the ball.

Carter is an electric edge rusher. He has average height and bulk, but he has an ELITE burst and his ability to flatten at the top of his rush is special. He gets a lot of early wins because of that speed, and he also has a nifty swipe/rip move. If tackles overset, he senses it early and crosses their face for immediate pressures/sacks. He also has a natural ability to retrace underneath when quarterbacks climb the pocket to avoid him. He can press out and control tight ends at the point of attack.

He’s a blur when chasing plays down on the back side. Carter has not been able to work out this spring as he rehabs from the shoulder injury he suffered late last season, but I don't see that issue having an impact on his draft... Overall, Carter can take over and completely wreck an offensive game plan. He demands attention on every snap and that is going to free up everyone else around him. Jeanty is a fun player to study. He is a short, compact runner with incredible strength, balance and burst.

He displays outstanding vision, tempo and feel. On inside runs, the Boise State product has a unique ability to absorb and bounce off tacklers. He has quick feet and never stops driving on contact, leading to some miraculous escapes and home runs. He is rarely -- if ever -- tackled when presented with one-on-one situations at the second level, exhibiting the capacity to run through defenders, make them miss or just burst by them. He isn’t polished as a route runner, but he has reliable hands and can create in space after the catch. He can identify, absorb and wall off in pass pro.

He needs to improve his ball security, having fumbled nine times over the past two seasons. Overall, Jeanty might lack ideal size, but he’s a mixture of Dalvin Cook and J.K. Dobbins as a runner. Graham is a powerful defensive tackle with outstanding leverage and instincts. He’s one of the most consistent players in the draft class. Against the run, he has an impressive short-area burst to attack blockers.

He excels in block destruction. He stacks, finds the ball, chucks blockers to the side and collects tackles. He has lateral range to make plays down the line, too. He is always in a leverage position and never gets uprooted. In the pass game, he has a violent club/rip move and a powerful bull rush. His effort is outstanding.

Overall, it’s easy to identify Graham as a former wrestler. He always has a full gas tank and he set the tone for the entire Michigan defense. This coming weekend, 257 players will be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. Which ones are the best of the best? This year's draft class is something of a mystery, which makes the rankings especially important. Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter are expected to hear their names called very early on Tuesday night.

As for the other 254 players selected, it's anyone's guess. There are a number of of meat-and-potato prospects expected to become quality NFL starters on Day 2, and some very athletically intriguing but raw talents to round out the draft on Saturday. For teams looking to beef up the trenches, this may be the draft for you. Defensive linemen are going to be en vogue in this draft, with interior players and edge rushers set to dominate the top 100 selections in the draft. If you're looking for a quarterback, the lack of top-end talent makes way for some intriguing Day 2 and 3 prospects, including Louisville's Tyler Shough, Syracuse's Kyle McCord and Ohio State's Will Howard. The Super Bowl is behind us and with it the end of the 2024 NFL season.

Now, it's time for the offseason. We're just over two months away from the 2025 NFL draft, one of the biggest events of the offseason. Rookies were critical to both teams in the Super Bowl and the other 30 franchises across the league will be looking for young, new talent to add to their rosters for the 2025 season. This year's class lacks the star power of the 2024 NFL draft and that leaves room for debate on which players are worthy of a first-round pick. We've compiled big boards from ESPN, Bleacher Report, The Athletic and The 33rd Team to try to paint a clear picture of the top 50 players in the 2025 NFL draft. There's lots of talent at multiple positions in the class, primarily on the defensive line.

Fifteen of the top 50 players on this consensus big board are either classified as a defensive tackle or edge rusher. Defense as a whole has a slight edge with 28 of the top 50 players per these combined big boards. Here are the top 50 players by average ranking across those four big boards. Without a plethora of clear-cut superstar prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, you are in for a treat this draft season. Why's that? Because there's bound to be drastically differing opinions of most of the early-round talents, and that diversity always makes this process more fun than if everyone agrees on, say, the Top 20 prospects.
