NFL Draft 2025: Best available players for Day 3

The wait continues for Shedeur Sanders. Night two of the 2025 NFL Draft has come to a close, with another 70 prospects having realized their professional football dreams. But Sanders continues to wonder where his NFL career will begin, as several quarterbacks came off the board, and the Colorado prospect remains on the board.

And atop our list of the best available prospects. Some other fascinating players remain on the board, beyond Sanders. Purdue offensive guard Marcus Mbow began the 2025 NFL Draft as the 32nd-ranked player on JP Acosta’s board, and remains an option for teams looking for a presence along the interior of their offensive lines.



Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is a physical wide receiver who, in addition to what he can do in the passing game, is also a feisty blocker in the run game who can play a role in offensive schemes that task their WRs in getting involved in the run game. Utah State Jalen Royals is a fascinating player as well, one that can be used in a Deebo Samuel-type role at the next level. As the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft looms, here are our best available players.
