The 2025 NFL draft is almost here; Round 1 begins on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC and the ESPN App. I'm updating my Big Board one last time, ranking the top 150 prospects in the class and stacking the best players at every single position.
I have scouting reports for the top 25 and then list the rest of the names. I'll also likely be making minor tweaks right up until the draft begins based on late-breaking reports and calls. One thing that won't change -- and has not changed since I released my first Big Board for this class in September -- is the No. 1 player. Colorado standout Travis Hunter will go wire to wire at the top of the list. He's special.
A key note to remember: This is not a mock draft or a prediction of where players will be drafted. These are my personal rankings. Sure, I want to have a realistic board based on how the draft will play out, but my goal is to include the best players based on what I'm seeing and my own evaluations. I'm factoring in each player's tape, combine and pro day workouts, all-star event performances and intel I've heard from NFL scouts, coaches and execs. Let's dig in.

1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 188
2024 stats over 13 games: 96 catches, 1,258 receiving yards, 15 receiving TDs, 36 tackles, 10 pass breakups, 4 interceptions, 1 forced fumble
Hunter has a great feel for the game on offense and defense, and he played a whopping 1,458 snaps over 13 games last season. I really think he has a chance to play both sides of the ball early in his pro career and make an impact both ways, though I'm ranking him as a receiver. The offensive and defensive coordinators for the team that ultimately drafts him are going to be battling each other to use him.
Hunter has tremendous hand-eye coordination and elite ball skills. His physical traits and quickness are off the charts, but the Heisman winner also thinks about the game at a high level. He is a highly competitive prospect who works hard to maximize his potential.
