NFL Draft prospects 2025: Updated big board of top 100 players overall, position rankings image

A lot has changed since the beginning of the college football season regarding the 2025 NFL Draft stock of many prospects.

Plenty more will change before Roger Goodell starts calling names next April — including the draft order — but momentum is starting to build for the potential top picks.

With conference championship games, bowls, and the 12-team playoff here to end the season, here's resetting the overall and positional rankings ahead of the pre-draft evaluation process.

NFL MOCK DRAFT 3.0: Shedeur Sanders to Raiders, Ashton Jeanty to Cowboys; Quinn Ewers gets in first round

NFL Draft 2025: Big board of top 100 players overall

1. Travis Hunter, CB/WR Colorado (6-1, 185 pounds) 

He's the unique "freak" of next year's class with his mega size and athleticism that makes him a strong cover man and almost equally adept receiver when called upon, which happened more with his snap count later in the Buffaloes' season.

2. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan (6-3, 318 pounds) 

Graham has powerful run-stopping qualities to go with unique disruptive skills for an interior pass rusher.

3. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan (6-2, 202 pounds) 

Johnson has the potential to be a pure shutdown corner with his great coverage ability and fluidity for his size.

4. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (6-5, 210 pounds)

McMillan is the classic size-speed prospect who can stretch the field well, and he uses his size to position himself nicely in the red zone.

5. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (6-3, 250 pounds) 

Carter can play from the inside or out and get to the quarterback with great pass-rush results, and he also shows great range vs. the run.

6. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (6-1, 205 pounds)

There's nothing Starks can't do vs. run and pass, and he has a knack for making big plays and cleaning up everything in front of and lateral to him.

7. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (5-9, 215 pounds) 

Jeanty crept into the high first-round workhorse conversation with some compact pop as a power runner while packing explosive speed, too.

8. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (6-2, 215 pounds) 

Sanders can do everything as a pinpoint pocket passer and has a knack for making big plays when needed most.

9. Cam Ward, QB, Miami (6-2, 223 pounds)

Ward is a fluid, big-armed pocket passer, but he also has the ability to extend plays with his legs and has the athleticism to be a more dynamic dual threat in the NFL.

Jalen Milroe, Cam Ward

10. Will Campbell, OT, LSU (6-6, 323 pounds) 

Campbell is a smooth pass protector who can be a long-term rock at left tackle.

11. Mykel Williams, DT, Georgia (6-5, 265 pounds)

Williams is a power-based inside presence who can be an absolute load vs. big blockers on the pass rush.

12. Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas (5-11, 190 pounds) 

The Alabama transfer has been a speedy vertical threat — a nice program follow-up to record-setting speedster Xavier Worthy playing with Quinn Ewers.

13. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri (5-11, 208 pounds) 

Burden is a dangerously quick open-field receiver who is versatile enough to thrive outside or in the slot. He has special after-the-catch burst, too.

14. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas (6-4, 324 pounds) 

Banks is another great, agile pass protector in this class, just behind Campbell in that capacity.

15. Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-4, 285 pounds) 

Scourton is a devastating pass rusher who can create mismatches with his powerful yet athletic frame.

16. James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee (6-5, 243 pounds) 

Pearce is a naturally explosive and super athletic pass rusher who can become more dangerous with more polish and a wider repertoire.

17. Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia (6-2, 245 pounds)

Walker has used the season to garner more appeal as a do-everything versatile linebacker in the Nick Bolton mode.

18. Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama (6-2, 220 pounds) 

Milroe has had some ups and downs in the new offense, but overall, he brings some intriguing dual-threat upside with his arm and top-flight athleticism.

19. Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame (6-0, 190 pounds) 

Morrison is a sound coverage man with good technique and high on-ball playmaking skills. He should recover well from his hip injury ahead of the pre-draft process.

20. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina (6-3, 227 pounds)

Emmanwori flies around the field and plays like an extra linebacker against the run and is getting some first-round consideration because of plus coverage skills, too.

21. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan (6-3, 339 pounds) 

Grant formed a literally massive 1-2 punch with Graham with his sturdy frame against the run and his pass-rush power.

22. Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State (6-2, 290 pounds) 

Williams has some big upside as a compact, quick inside pass rusher and made a good decision to return to school to round out his game.

23. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan (6-5, 245 pounds) 

Loveland has the complete look as the NFL's next athletic, impact tight end, and he should get strong first-round consideration.

24. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (6-6, 260 pounds)

Warren is a classic tight end who settles in well down the seam with his routes and has the athleticism to cause some slot WR-like coverage issues.

25. Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky (6-6, 345 pounds) 

Walker has rare athleticism for his massive frame that allows him to be uniquely devastating in the pass rush.

26. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State (6-1, 205 pounds) 

Egbuka is another Buckeyes' route-running technician with great hands and quickness to reliably make big plays.

27. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss (6-2, 205 pounds)

Harris is a steady big target who knows how to get open in clutch situations, including on third down and in the red zone, while working outside.

28. Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina (6-2, 193 pounds)

Revel has caught the attention of many scouts with how well he uses his size and physicality while covering big outside receivers.

29. Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota (6-6, 330 pounds) 

Ersery has the tantalizing upside to put together his power and athleticism into the complete left tackle package.

30. Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State (6-4, 320 pounds) 

Jackson projects as a nasty, mauling interior lineman made for consistently strong NFL run blocking.

31. Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State (6-5, 260 pounds) 

Sawyer has a strong calling card as a pass-rusher, but his real strength is how he balances that with elite play against the run, too, keeping him on the field as an every-down playmaker.

32. Jonah Savaiinaea, G, Arizona (6-5, 330 pounds) 

Saviinaea can play either inside or outside with his natural pass-protecting agility, and he has the frame to become a much bigger asset in the running game.

33. Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas (6-2, 204 pounds) 

Ewers is right there behind Sanders in terms of pocket passing. He's very accurate and can make all the downfield throws with high efficiency.

34. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State (5-11, 210 pounds) 

The Ole Miss transfer has gotten more attention in Columbus for packing a serious power-running punch in his frame and also coming through when needed as a receiver. 

35. Harold Perkins Jr., EDGE, LSU (6-1, 235 pounds) 

Perkins can play in a variety of spots on a front seven. He has the versatility to get to the quarterback outside or inside as an impactful rotational player.

36. Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon (6-0, 175 pounds)

Stewart is right behind Egbuka with his quick route-running and after-the-catching playmaking upside.

37. Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State (6-1, 190 pounds) 

Burke was wise to return to school to become a more polished, well-rounded cover man who can handle any downfield assignment.

38. Wyatt Milum, G, West Virginia (6-2, 318 pounds)

Milum has shown a great blend of athleticism, handwork, and footwork to be a very effective zone blocker in the NFL.

39. Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU (6-3, 315 pounds) 

Jones projects as the ideal, powerful run blocker with some pass-protection upside at right tackle.

40. J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State (6-4, 270 pounds) 

Tuimoloau can be special with his frame and athleticism. He was wise to come back to college to develop more front-line consistency.

41. Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas (6-7, 281 pounds)

Jackson, because of his monstrous size, can be a terrific versatile defensive line asset in a 4-3 base front.

42. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa (6-0, 225 pounds)

Johnson is a quick downhill runner who has some workhorse potential because of his improving receiving skills.

43. Keith Winston Jr., S, Penn State (6-2, 205 pounds)

Winston is a great clean-up man against the run who also can handle himself well as a consistent slot cover man in any scheme.

44. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College (6-2, 250 pounds)

Ezeiruaku has incredible burst and zip as a pass rusher and can quickly further develop the other aspects of the game.

45. Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma (6-4, 236 pounds) 

Stutsman is a tackling machine and a growing asset in coverage, showing more consistency and improved technique.

46. Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-4, 290 pounds)

Stewart is an extremely stout outside run defender who's getting more attention for his underrated physical pass-rush pop.

47. T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina (6-4, 290 pounds)

Sanders has great size, strength, and versatility, and he's capable of blowing up running plays and rushing the passer in any alignment.

48. Lander Barton, LB, Utah (6-4, 236 pounds)

Barton is the ideal speed linebacker who covers a lot of ground vs. the run and pass.

49. Cameron Williams, OT, Texas (6-5, 335 pounds)

Williams got on the board with his power and has used the season to show fine athleticism on the same line as Banks.

50. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon (6-4, 305 pounds)

Conerly is another tackle with a great combination of mauling and finesse blocking skills.

51. Alfred Collins, DT, Texas (6-5, 320 pounds) 

Collins is showing that he can use his power and strength to flash as a destructive force.

52. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State (6-5, 310 pounds)

Simmons has gotten into the early draft conversation with Williams and Conerly thanks to showing the ideal balance between power and agility.

53. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina (6-1, 220 pounds)

Hampton helps make this a much stronger running back class early than 2024 because he also has three-down potential thanks to his power, quickness, and hands.

54. LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama (6-5, 283 pounds)

Overton is rather big for a quick pass rusher, and he uses that frame to his full advantage in overpowering blockers.

55. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon (6-3, 310 pounds)

Harmon is a solid all-around interior force who can work best inside in a 4-3.

56. Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green (6-4, 230 pounds)

Fannin has had an exceptional pass-catching season and has the ability to excel in that capacity working inline or as a "move."

57. Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss (6-5, 255 pounds)

Umanmielen is an intriguing 3-4 pass-rush prospect and can be moved around well to produce in that particular scheme.

58. Tyler Booker, G, Alabama (6-5, 352 pounds) 

Booker is known for his powerful run blocking, but he also has nimble, quick feet for his size.

59. Carson Beck, QB, Georgia (6-4, 220 pounds) 

Beck has fallen a bit because of his inconsistency and tentative decision-making, relying too much on shorter routes vs. finding his deeper pass accuracy. But his experience and production as a pocket passer say he can still thrive in the right system, such as any offensive extension of Sean McVay.

60. Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville (6-3, 275 pounds) 

Gillotte's unique blend of power and strength makes him another versatile 4-3 defensive lineman to consider early along with Jackson, potentially as high as the first round.

61. Drew Allar, QB, Penn State (6-5, 241 pounds)

Allar has some downfield passing prowess as a prototypical pocket passer in the vein of the Titans' Will Levis, who once played for the Nittany Lions.

62. Sebastian Castro, CB, Iowa (5-11, 205 pounds)

Castro is a smart, physical outside or slot corner who plays bigger than his size and can still improve in coverage.

63. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame (6-0, 203 pounds)

Watts is the complete package as a playmaker with his quickness, aggressiveness, and toughness, and he can keep rising up boards.

64. Jared Ivey, EDGE, Ole Miss (6-6, 280 pounds)

Ivey is a powerful defensive end made to complement a big-time pass rusher well in a 4-3.

65. Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia (6-5, 245 pounds) 

Delp isn't on the level of former teammate Brock Bowers, but he does offer speedy and quick field-stretching at times on top of being a red-zone asset.

66. Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (5-10, 200 pounds)

Restrepo has stood out as a slot receiver who can thrive with his quickness and toughness.

67. Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall (6-4, 235 pounds)

Green is getting more attention for his pure explosiveness in getting after the quarterback.

68. Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State (6-2, 225 pounds) 

Gordon has great size as a power back and also has massive burst between the tackles. He has some three-down qualities behind Jeanty and Johnson.

69. Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina (6-5, 250 pounds)

Kennard is a high-energy relentless pass rusher who explodes through the whistle.

70. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford (6-2, 210 pounds)

Ayomanor has a good blend of power and speed to think he could be a nice X or Z complement to a No. 1.

71. Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson (6-1, 225 pounds) 

Carter has the typical do-everything range. He finishes well against the run but also stays on the field as a coverage ace.

72. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss (6-4, 290 pounds) 

Nolen is a little behind an early strong class at the position because he's a run-stopper first who's still developing as an inside pass rusher.

73. Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State (6-0, 225 pounds)

Singleton does a little of everything well to the point he can be a strong committee back regardless of who he's complementing.

74. Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama (6-2, 239 pounds)

Lawson is an outstanding run-pursuit tackler who can still grow in coverage.

75. Marcus Mbow, C, Purdue (6-5, 305 pounds)

Mbow is also on the rise, standing out on a bad team with a powerful, mean frame that pushes interior defensive linemen out of the way.

76. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon (5-10, 160 pounds)

Johnson is a diminutive dasher with great speed and quickness who can make big plays in the Tank Dell mold.

77. Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee (5-11, 200 pounds)

Sampson has become a hot sleeper with his big-time season for the Volunteers and also can excel in any scheme or capacity in the NFL.

78. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky (6-1, 185 pounds)

Hairston is a technically sound and big physical cover man who can be more effective if he improves his playing speed.

79. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (6-3, 224 pounds)

Campbell can be a huge asset vs. the pass, having the athleticism to fly upfield at the quarterback or ace downfield coverage. 

80. Jahdae Barron, S, Texas (5-10, 195 pounds)

Barron is a terrific chess piece for the Longhorns who can go from extra linebacker to nickel back status depending on what's needed.

Kalel Mullings

81. Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan (6-2, 233 pounds)

Mullings projects as a reliable power back with underrated big-play burst.

82. Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary (6-4, 300 pounds)

Grant excels at using his hands and feet when blocking and has rare athleticism for his size.

83. Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State (6-2, 190 pounds)

Horton projects as a speedy, field-stretching receiver who complements possession route-runners well on the outside.

84. TreyVeon Henderson, RB, Ohio State (5-10, 214 pounds)

Henderson is a bit overshadowed by Judkins on his own team, but he can't be forgotten as an attractive asset in the passing game on top of solid running.

85. Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU (6-1, 180 pounds)

Watch for Nussmeier's continued rise as a strong-armed, confident passer with great intangibles and the ability to make every throw from the pocket with accuracy.

86. Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska (6-0, 205 pounds)

Hill has a blend of intriguing physical skills to go with an ideal frame to handle either bigger or smaller receivers.

87. Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas (6-1, 195 pounds)

Mukuba, the former Clemson star, has transitioned well to the Longhorns defense with his rangy quickness and swift scheme diagnosis to make clutch plays.

88. Kyren Lacy, WR, LSU (6-2, 215 pounds)

Lacy is a smart, smooth outside route runner with some starting "X" upside.

89. Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas (6-5, 250 pounds)

Helm is a well-rounded receiver and blocker who represents an old-school option at the position with ideal size.

90. Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon (5-10, 183 pounds) 

Muhammad can pass some of the bigger corners in this class, as his sound coverage technique gives him a high floor. His active ballhawking also sets up a high ceiling.

91. Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia (6-3, 235 pounds)

Mondon has proved to be an equal asset vs. the run and pass to the point that he can do everything asked in any defensive scheme.

92. Howard Cross III, DT, Notre Dame (6-1, 288 pounds)

Cross' relentlessness and quickness suggest he can make a lot of plays vs. the pass and run in a 4-3.

93. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri (6-3, 214 pounds)

Membou fights hard to win his blocks with great toughness and quick feet.

94. Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State (6-5, 270 pounds)

Dennis-Sutton is a well-rounded defender, but there's still room to grow as a pass rusher and be more consistent vs. the run.

95. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU (6-5, 255 pounds)

Taylor is a versatile, back-like receiver who gets open well in short areas.

96. Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech (6-1, 187 pounds)

Delane is a smooth-looking agile cover man who has untapped upside with his size.

97. Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma (5-10, 194 pounds)

Bowman should be on the radar to rise with his all-out versatile on-ball playmaking.

98. Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona (6-4, 195 pounds) 

Davis is a fluid big corner prospect who uses his wingspan and physical frame to his full advantage in coverage.

99. Dontay Corleone, DT, Cincinnati (6-0, 320) pounds)

Through the pre-draft process, more 4-3 teams will find it hard to refuse the quickness and pop he can offer.

100. Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon (5-11, 204 pounds)

Gabriel has a great blend of experience, accuracy, intangibles, and athleticism, but his size and lack of elite arm strength will only get him initial interest as an intriguing developmental backup.
