The 2025 NFL Draft is on the horizon. While it lacks the quarterback talent of its predecessor, there's no shortage of stars.
This year's crop of rookie talent is filled with dynamic playmakers and reliable tone-setters up front. Travis Hunter is a dynamo on both sides of the ball. Abdul Carter is a chaos engine from the second the ball is snapped. Ashton Jeanty will enter a league beginning to trust bell cow tailbacks once more.
NFL MOCK DRAFT: The latest projection of Round 1
That trio takes the top three spots in my 2025 NFL Draft big board. Let's look at the 72 other players who join them in my prospect rankings.
1. CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado
The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is a weapon wherever he lines up.
2. EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State
Carter is the next proud link in a line of Nittany Lion pass rushing hell-raisers.
3. RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
The Heisman runner-up shredded Mountain West defenses all season long despite everyone and their mothers knowing he was getting the ball.
4. QB Cameron Ward, Miami
Ward balled out no matter where he was slinging passes, whether that was Incarnate Word, Washington State or Coral Gables.
5. DL Mason Graham, Michigan
Graham is a gap-shooting disruptor who creates chaos from the inside out and will help his NFL team's edge rushers thrive.
6. OL Armand Membou, Missouri
Membou is a rock solid blocker with a high floor and an All-Pro ceiling. While he may not be a left tackle, he should be an immediate boost to anyone's offensive line.
