2025 NFL draft: Ranking the 100 best picks, steals, fits

There were 257 names called in the 2025 NFL draft. Some front offices did better than others with their selections -- I really like the Eagles' class -- but how did the individual picks stack up across all seven rounds? I ranked the best 100 selections.

This list isn't based purely on talent -- that's why we had predraft prospect rankings. Here, we factored in value (where a player was drafted vs. where he was ranked predraft), scheme fit, how the selection addressed a need, what the prospect brings on the field and whether additional assets were gained or lost in draft-day trades to acquire him. Every round is represented, and there are even 38 picks from Day 3 among these 100 highlighted selections.

Which picks crack the top 10? What moves from Rounds 4-7 make the list? And which teams dominated with multiple highly ranked additions? Let's stack the best 100 picks of the 2025 draft, starting with one of my favorite players throughout this process.

Note: When each player was selected is listed by Round-Pick in parentheses.
