The most important event of the NFL draft process is fast approaching, as combine workouts for the 2025 class start Thursday and run through Sunday, March 2, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. That makes this a great time to update my top 50 rankings.

The usual disclaimer applies: Things will absolutely change. We have a lot of time before the draft begins April 24, and prospects will slide up and down my board. But this is how I see things right now, with two of my favorite players to watch at the top.

One thing that stands out about this class is the lack of conviction among talent evaluators on several prospects approaching the combine. There is a handful of elite talents -- maybe five or six. After that, scouts cannot agree on where to rank players. I heard varying grades on many -- a prospect would receive a top-10 grade from one scout and a second-round grade from another. But while scout feedback is an important part of the process, I'm throwing out the consensus and basing this top 50 on my grades alone.

After attending the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl, my rankings are below. I included scouting reports on each of the top 50 prospects and then listed my top five at every position at the bottom. Underclassmen are marked with an asterisk.
