The tape has been watched, 40 yard dashes have been run, and interviews are complete. We have a few days left until the 2025 NFL Draft , and at this point the hay is in the barn. This draft class has been a really fun one to scout, even without having too many superstars in the class.
In my opinion, there are only three surefire blue-chip talents in this draft: Colorado WR/DB Travis Hunter, Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty and Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter. I think there are some very good prospects behind them, but those three guys are capable of making an instant impact for any NFL franchise. After that, it gets a bit murky.
Most of the guys at the top all have their respective question marks--production ( Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart), measurables ( LSU OT Will Campbell) or off-field concerns (Marshall EDGE Mike Green). But that’s what makes this class interesting-- trying to parse through it all to see which players will be quality ones in the league. With that being said, here is my top 100 players in the 2025 NFL Draft class.

After watching at least three games (five games for prospects early in the process), I try and take into account athletic measurables, production, and just how they move on the field. Sure a receiver might have 1,200 receiving yards, but it’s more about how they get their yards than anything. A player could have a lack of sack production, but watching how they move could make me rank them higher than most.
Earlier in this process I wrote about hip movement and being able to unlock that as the key to athleticism, so I watch for the hips and how easily a player is able to change direction. From there, it all gets compiled and I put players into a draft range, where I think I’d be comfortable taking them. QB class takes a massive drop off from the top two This QB class is.
..interesting, to say the least.
At the top of the class are Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward. For me, while I think both are around late first to early second round picks, they’re going to go earlier because of the need for a QB. If we were comparing to last year’s class, I would have them both ahead of Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr.
, but behind JJ McCarthy by a slim margin. After that, the class takes a huge tumble. The next QB on the board, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, comes in at number 66 on my big board, then after him is Louisville’s Tyler Shough at 91 and Ole Miss ’ Jaxson Dart at 96.
This QB class has a lot of question marks, and not a lot of surefire starters. Not a great place to be if you’re a QB-needy team. Defensive line class takes center stage Combined between both DT and EDGE, there are 29 prospects on the top 100 along the defensive line.
While the class is weak at QB, the defensive line is incredibly strong this year. I’ve especially loved scouting this defensive tackle class, which has a whole bunch of guys who bring different things to the position. We have undersized 3-techniques (Michigan’s Mason Graham, Tennessee’s Omarr Norman-Lott and Ole Miss’ Walter Nolen), mammoth run stoppers (Michigan’s Kenneth Grant, Ohio State ’s Tyliek Williams and Texas’ Alfred Collins) and so many more.
If you need a defensive tackle, there are sure to be quality starters up and down the board this year. Guys I’m higher on that most Using Arif Hasan’s Consensus Big Board , here are guys I’m higher on than most in this draft class:.
