2025 NFL draft: Prospect comps at every position, plus notes

We're through Week 11 of the 2024 college football season, and our NFL draft analysts are ramping up their evaluations of the 2025 class.

Sometimes those evaluations include likening prospects to current NFL pros to help give a sense of their skill sets and upside. So we asked our NFL draft analysts -- Matt Miller, Steve Muench, Jordan Reid and Field Yates -- to give early comps for one highly ranked player at every position, based on what they've seen so far on tape. Remember, comps aren't always exact and don't necessarily suggest that the prospect will share the same level of success as the NFL player (for better or worse); they are more about finding similarities in play style.

To close, Mel Kiper Jr. & Co. emptied their notebooks with everything they have seen and heard over the past few weeks, including picking out a few risers. But let's start with an interesting prospect-to-pro match for Miami's Cam Ward.

Jump to a position for a comp:
QB | RB | WR | TE | OL
Edge | DT | LB | CB | S

Quarterback: Cam Ward, Miami
