As we get closer to the 2025 NFL draft, we're starting to get a clearer picture of the best prospects in the class. We had the 2024 college football season to size up the top talents. Then we had the opportunity to watch them at the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl over the past two weeks. But how do these players stack up?
I'm updating my Big Board for 2025, ranking the top 25 prospects in the class. Remember, this is not a mock draft or 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. In addition to the top-25 list, I also ranked the best prospects at every position at the bottom.
Let's dig in, and be sure to check back regularly from now until Round 1 begins April 24. I plan to update this Big Board often over the coming months as players rise and fall. Underclassmen are noted with an asterisk.
