2025 NFL MOCK DRAFT
Round 1
1. Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward-QB-Miami
6’2”/219
NFL Comp: Jared Goff/Warren Moon
2024 Stats:
4313 passing yards
39 passing touchdowns
5 Interceptions
67.2 completion percentage
172.2 QB Rating
4 Rushing Touchdowns
Ward is the clear-cut best quarterback prospect in the 2025 class. Though many feel he is not at the level of a Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams last year. He has a very strong arm and is a good athlete. He led the nation in passing touchdowns and has a great QB rating. He had a solid receiving core at Miami but it wasn’t like he was throwing passes to Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams or Travis Hunter. Ward put Miami on his back and would have made the College Football Playoff if not for a historically bad defense. He has little bust potential as he should be a very good long term starter as long as he is drafted by a capable organization.
Ward will be the first pick and will be the Titans franchise quarterback. He should start from day one. He will be the 4th good young Quarterback in the division along with Trevor Lawrence, CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson. Fan will hope Ward can have as much success as former Oiler/Titan legends Warren Moon and Steve McNair.
2. Cleveland Browns
Travis Hunter-WR/CB/ATH-Colorado
6’0”/188
NFL Comp: Stefon Diggs/Andre Rison/Troy Brown
2024 Stats
96 receptions
1258 total yards
15 Touchdowns
Hunter instantly gives the Browns and the city of Cleveland a star the city has lacked since LeBron James. Hunter should be the Browns best playmaker by the end of his rookie season. Hunter is the most unique prospect in NFL draft history. The Heisman winner has the most electrifying play maker in college football last season. He started at both receiver and corner. He put up great numbers as he showed how special he is with the ball in his hands.
The NFL is a passing league where offense is now king. Hunter playing more offensive will also add to his marketability as a player and his ability to fill the stadium and the stat sheet.
There is no doubt that Hunter can start at corner but his best value to any team will be as a wide receiver. He may be small, but he is just so special when the ball is in his hands. Barring injury he also has very little bust potential as he should be a great receiver in the league for a long time.
3. New York Giants
Abdul Carter-EDGE-Penn St
6’3”/250
NFL Comp: Von Miller/Clay Matthews
PFF Grade: 86.2
12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss in 2024
The term read and react perfectly describes what Carter does on a football field. He was productive in college, leading the nation in tackles for loss. His versatility separates him from the pack as he can play off the ball as a linebacker and can be pure pass rusher. Barring injures Carter should be able to become an All Pro early in his career. He compares to Miller and Matthews in terms of size, quickness and position versatility.
The Giants are the franchise known for Lawrence Taylor, Michael Strahan, Carl Banks, Osi Umenyiora and Jason Pierre Paul has proven time and time again that they can never have enough pass rushers. Carter is the best player on the board and can be a staple for this defense for a decade.
4. New England Patriots
Will Campbell-OT-LSU
6'6"/319/77.38” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Andrew Whitworth/Braden Smith
PFF Grade: 72.6
Campbell has started since his True Freshman season at LSU. He has the perfect blend of size, power, toughness and technique. He is an elite pass protector and a physical run blocker. His less-than-ideal wingspan is the main question mark on his transition to the NFL. He can become an All Pro like another fellow LSU alum Andrew Whitworth. His floor is that of a franchise starting right tackle like Braden Smith.
The Patriots had the worst tackle play in the NFL last season. 2024 third round pick Caedan Wallace struggled as a rookie. The other tackles are backups at best. They brought in veterans Morgan Moses at right tackle but he is not long-term option in New England. Campbell has that Patriot toughness and business demeanor about him.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Ashton Jeanty-RB-Boise St
5'9''/211
NFL Comp: Marshawn Lynch "Beast Mode"/Maurice Jones-Drew
2024 Stats
2601 Rushing Yards
30 TDs
23 receptions
138 Receiving yards
Jacksonville completely cleaned house this offseason. They hired offensive guru Liam Coen as Head Coach and James Gladstone as General Manager. The new brass will look to infuse new talent especially on the offensive end. They would love to have a difference maker like Jeanty to alleviate the pressure off of franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Jeanty would of won the Heisman Trophy in most college seasons. His numbers were out of this world. He is an offensive weapon that an entire offense can be built around. In the right system he could be the best running back in the NFL. He has literally every trait one looks for in a running back. He has speed, power, vision, toughness and is elusive with the ball in his hands. He does need to improve more in the pass game to reach his full potential.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Armand Membou-OT-Missouri
6'4"/332/82.00” Wingspan/32 reps/4.91 forty
NFL Comp: Willie Anderson/Jason Peters
PFF Grade: 90.4
Membou has an elite combination of length, power and athleticism have vaulted him up draft boards. His body control and quickness off the snap are elite. His most impressive stat is that he only allowed 3 career sacks going up against elite SEC competition. His elite physical traits and style of play make him comparable to Anderson and Peters who were both All Pros. Anderson was the best right tackle of his generation.
7. New York Jets
Tyler Warren-TE-Penn St
6'5"/256
NFL Comparison: Mark Andrews/Zach Ertz
2024 Stats:
104 receptions
1233 total yards
8 TD
Warren put up insane numbers last season. He has the perfect combination of size, hands, speed and route running. He is a physical player and a solid blocker. He is solid at getting yards after the catch. He is the type of do it all tight end with 80 catch potential.
Warren is the perfect offensive weapon for the Jets offense. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand followed new Head Coach Aaron Glenn to New York from Detroit. He was the Lions passing game coordinator and tight ends coach before that. He can use Warren similar to how the Lions used Sam LaPorta
8. Carolina Panthers
Jalon Waker-LB-Georgia
6’2”/243
NFL Comp: Demario Davis/James Farrior
PFF Grade: 73.1
6.5 sacks, 11 TFL and 60 total tackles
Walker won the Butkus Award as the best linebacker in the nation. He provides value as both a pass rusher and as an off the ball linebacker. He was the leader of the Georgia defense and has that Alpha mentality anytime he is on the field. His best traits are his versatility and toughness. Walker has the tools to become a Pro Bowl player capable of 100 tackle and 5 sack seasons similar to Davis and Farrior.
This is the perfect value meets need meets fit pick for the Panthers. They need a pass rusher and versatile linebacker. Walker is a perfect fit to play any spot in as 3-4 linebacker. This would be a homecoming for Walker, who was born in Conway, South Carolina and attended high school in Salisbury, North Carolina.
9. New Orleans Saints
Mykel Williams-EDGE-Georgia
6’5”/260
NFL Comp: Travon Walker/Chandler Jones
PFF Grade: 78.4
5 sacks and 9 TFL
Williams made an immediate impact on Georgia’s title team leading them in sacks as a freshman. His sack totals never reached full potential due to him having to rush more inside in Georgia’s scheme. That actually helps his all around stock as he has proven to be a complete defensive end that can rush the passer, stop the run and set the edge. This is why I compare him to another Georgia player in Walker. Chandler Jones had very similar measurables and the same raw talent coming out of Syracuse in 2012.
The Saints NEED a quarterback but who the smoke screens are saying they like Jaxson Dart over Shedeur Sansers here. Could they take Dart this high? Is it just a smoke screen. Williams is now the odds on favorite according to Fanduel. His stock is rising and the Saints need a young pass rusher.
10. Chicago Bears
Mason Graham-DL3T-Michigan
6’3”/296/24 reps
NFL Comparison: Bryant Young/Kyle Williams
PFF Grade: 91.1
3.5 sacks and 7 TFL
Graham has the ideal combination of tools that one looks for in a 3-technique defensive tackle. He is strong, physical, quick and has a motor second to none. The best word to describe him is disruptive. He is seemingly in on every play run or pass. He uses his leverage against taller offensive lineman and his quickness to collapse the pocket.
The Bears overhauled their offensive line in free agency but still need help in the defensive trenches. They singed Grady Jarrett, but he is past his prime. Graham is an old school defensive tackle that will remind Bears fans of Dan Hampton and Steve McMichael.
11. San Francisco 49ers
Walter Nolen-DL3T-Ole Miss
6’4”/296
NFL Comp: Jonathan Allen/Nnamdi Madubuike
PFF Grade: 88.9
6.5 sacks and 14 TFL
Nolen was the number two prospect in the nation, behind only Travis Hunter. He started for two seasons at Texas A&M before transferring to Ole Miss last year. He plays with power and toughness needed for a defensive tackle. He has always been a top notch run stuffer. Last season he really improved as a pass rusher. He knows how to use technique, quickness and explosiveness to cause disruption on the field. Guys with that skill set last in the league a long time.
Nolen is said to be shooting up draft boards on the week of the draft. Draft pundits Peter Schraeger and Albert Breer both are saying he will go in the top 15 and the 49ers are the perfect fit. San Francisco needs to be able to generate pressure up the middle and be able to stop the run. Nolen would instantly be the most talented defensive tackle on their roster.
12. Dallas Cowboys
Tetairoa McMillan-WR-Arizona
6’5”/219
NFL Comp: Marques Colston/Herman Moore
2024 Stats
84 receptions
1319 total yards
8 TD
McMillan has a rare combination of size, speed and body control. Due to his frame, he is a one on one matchup nightmare. He is a smooth route runner and very quick for a taller receiver. He is great at contested catches and high points the ball perfectly. A 50-50 ball is more like a 90-10 ball with him. This is a player with All Pro potential as true number one threat.
This is the dream scenario for the Cowboys. McMillan is the value of a top eight prospect and fills a huge need for them. McMillan and CeeDee Lamb would give quarterback Dak Prescott two premier targets on the outside. If Dak cannot take his game to the next level with that pair, Dallas may be in the market for a new signal caller sooner rather than later.
13. Miami Dolphins
Will Johnson-CB-Michigan
6’2”/191
NFL Comp: Marlon Humphrey/AJ Terrell
PFF Grade: 76.5
Johnson is the ideal cornerback for the modern-day NFL. He is long, athletic, and has instincts that are second to none. His ball skills are elite, and he is a threat to score when he gets an interception. He came into Michigan highly recruited and lived up to expectations. He was a very productive player and one of the key players on their championship team. He is not the most physical press corner, but he knows how to use his length to make tackles in space.
Jalen Ramsey is likely to be traded. If he is traded, Miami would have the worst cornerback group in the league. Johnson is a plug and play starter. Of course owner Stephen M. Ross will be happy to add a "Michigan Man" to the Dolphins family.
14. Indianapolis Colts
Colston Loveland-TE-Michigan
6'6"/248
NFL Comparison: Greg Olsen/Mike Gesicki
2024 Stats:
56 receptions
582 total yards
1 TD
Loveland did not have the production of Warren but the gap separating the prospects is small. Loveland is long and rangy and has movement skills like a receiver. He is a better vertical threat than Warren. The knock on him is that he is too small to lineup inline next to the tackle.
The Colts four tight ends on the roster COMBINED for 39 total catches. Loveland would be the perfect fit and allow them to use the same tight end in multiple sets. A pass catching tight end should help take young quarterback Anthony Richardson's game to another level.
15. Atlanta Falcons
Mike Green-EDGE-Marshall
6’3”/251/28 Reps
NFL Comp: DeMarcus Ware/Khalil Mack
PFF Grade: 92.4
17 sacks and 23 tackles
Atlanta was second to last in the NFL with only 31 total sacks. They get the best player on the board in Green. Mr. Green did exactly what a player on his talent level was supposed to do. He dominated the Sun Belt and led the country in sacks. The best word to describe the way Green plays is relentless. Any questions about his level of competition were answered at the Senior Bowl where he put on a show against the best offensive tackles in the class.
Twenty years ago, Ware was a small school prospect that ascended to the number 11 pick and then had a great career that led to Canton. Mack had a similar draft process in 2014. Green could be drafted as high as the top ten and has a chance to become a very special player at the next level.
16. Arizona Cardinals
Josh Simmons-OT-Ohio St
6'5"/317/82.00” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Laremy Tunsil/Taylor Moton
PFF Grade: 74.4
Simmons missed the final 10 games of the season with a torn patellar tendon. He is very athletic and light-footed. His agility makes him the perfect fit in a zone blocking scheme. If he recovers fully, he should be a starter in the league for a long time. He could end up being the best lineman drafted from this class.
Most rankings have Kelvin Banks ranked ahead of Simmons. However, the Cardinals offensive line coach Justin Frye was Simmons coach at Ohio St. He will know how to best use Simmons best.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Kelvin Banks Jr.-OT-Texas
6'5"/315/84.38” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Zack Martin/Duane Brown
PFF Grade: 86.2
Banks is a great athlete that is battle tested. He also has the same size limitations as well. At this point, he is a better run blocker than pass protector. This is why many scouts see him taking the Martin path from college left tackle to All Pro guard. He could also turn into a top tier tackle like Brown was in his prime. Brown was among the best run blockers in the league for many years.
The Bengals can use Banks at guard or tackle to protect franchise quarterback Joe Burrow. Orlando Brown is the starting left tackle but may not be in the long term there.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Grey Zabel-OT-North Dakota St
6'6"/312/77.25” Wingspan/26 reps
NFL Comp: Luke Goedeke/Robert Hunt
PFF Grade: 90.4
Zabel brings size, toughness and versatility to the NFL team that drafts him. He is a very powerful run blocker that would be a perfect fit at right tackle or inside at guard. He compares well with two other small school prospects in Goedeke and Hunt. Goedeke is a right tackle and Hunt is a guard. Both are high end starters that play with the same level of physicality.
Seattle needs help all along the offensive line and Zabel is a perfect fit for their zone blocking scheme. He also brings versatility as he played center at the senior bowl.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jihaad Campbell-LB-Alabama
6’3”/235/4.52
NFL Comp: Zack Baun/Frankie Luvu
PFF Grade: 81.6
8 sacks, 17 TFL and 84 total tackles
Campbell has the perfect combination of speed, size and toughness. He is relentless and can go sideline to sideline as a tackler. A defensive coordinator should use him best as an off ball linebacker that can be used as an edge player on passing downs.
Lavonte David's is a Tampa legend but he just turned 35. He can pass the torch to Campbell as the next in line of legendary Tampa linebackers. As stated above he can play both as an edge player and as an inside linebacker.
20. Denver Broncos
Emeka Egbuka-WR-Ohio St
6’1”/202/4.45
NFL Comp: Reggie Wayne/Roddy White
2024 Stats
81 receptions
1011 total yards
10 TD
Egbuka would have been a first round pick had he left after last season. He is a great all-around prospect that can is likely that safest pick at receiver. He had no problem being the the number two option at Ohio St with Marvin Harrison Jr and then Jeremiah Smith. But he has the skill set to be a go to guy in the NFL.
The Broncos get a go to receiver here and then can draft a running back in the second round. Head Coach Sean Payton may be the best coach in the NFL to get the most out of Egbuka's skill set.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
Shedeur Sanders-QB-Colorado
6’2”/212
NFL Comp: Brock Purdy/Derek Carr
2024 Stats:
4134 passing yards
37 passing touchdowns
10 Interceptions
74.0 completion percentage
168.2 QB Rating
.
The Steelers wait and get the perfect young quarterback for them. Where Sanders gets drafted may end up being the biggest mystery and biggest story of the first round Sanders took an unconventional path to the NFL. He played for his father, football legend Deion Sanders at Jackson State then followed him to Colorado.
His calling card is his accuracy, where he set the NCAA record for career completion percentage. He is tough as nails as he took many sacks and kept getting up to play the next play. He lacks an elite arm but has great intangibles and should be able to be a NFL starter from day one. Sanders is a proven winner and is a great competitor. Like Purdy or Carr he will rely on those traits to have successful NFL career.
22. Los Angeles Chargers
Derrick Harmon-DL3T5T-Oregon
6’4”/313
NFL Comp: Akiem Hicks/DaQuan Jones
PFF Grade: 83.9
5 sacks and 11 TFL
Harmon is an elite athlete for a man weighing over 300 pounds. He ran a 4.95 forty and possesses ideal length and hand size. He is versatile and can be used in multiple fronts. NFL.COM had two great player comps for Harmon, Daniel Jeremiah compared him to Hicks and Lance Zierlein compared him to Jones, I will not try to top those accurate comparisons.
Harmon is on the same talent level as Graham and Nolen but he has some injury concerns. The Chargers need pass rush help. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter can use him as versatile chess piece all along the defensive line.
23. Green Bay Packers
Donovan Ezeiruaku-EDGE-Boston College
6’2”/248
NFL Comp: Harold Landry/Samson Ekubam
PFF Grade: 90.0
16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in 2024
Ezeiruaku is a technician with an advanced set a pass rush moves. His lack of height and length doesn’t stop him from getting to where he needs to go. He showcased his quickness at the combine with a 6.94 3 cone drill. He is a vey smart football player. He compares to another BC edge rusher in Landry. Landry’s lack of size dropped him to the second round in 2018 yet he has proven to be as consistent a pass rusher as one can find.
The Packers need a productive pass rush defensive end to pair with Rashan Gary. Ezeiruaku was super productive at Boston College. The Packers have a history of drafting guys from BC with BJ Raji and AJ Dillon.
24. Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks-S-Georgia
6’0”/197/4.5
NFL Comp: Jessie Bates/Xavier McKinney
PFF Grade: 78.3
Starks was a three-year starter at Georgia and two time All American. Versatility is his best trait as he can play high safety, in the slot or in the box. He is a playmaker that is also physical. He might be the safest pick in the entire draft regardless of position. He has an amazing combination of athletic ability, instincts, intelligence and high-level production. There is a very good chance he can become an All Pro like McKinney and Bates.
The Vikings need a safety to replace franchise legend Harrison Smith. Starks provides great value here as he is ranked in the top 15 on most draft boards.
25. Houston Texans
Matthew Golden-WR-Texas
5'11''/191/4.29
NFL Comp: Mike Wallace/Jaylen Waddle
2024 Stats
58 receptions
987 total yards
9 TD
No other receiver has helped their stock more than Golden in the draft process. He is a burner that has great change of direction skills similar to Waddle. He was a borderline first round pack that has risen to a likely top 15 pick. Golden made big plays time and time again for Texas.
Golden is a Houston native that could get to play for his hometown team. Stephon Diggs did not work out in Houston and Tank Dell is small with injury concerns. CJ Stroud needs a speed threat to pair with possession receiver Nico Collins.
26. Los Angeles Rams
Jahdae Barron-CB-Texas
5'11"/194/4.39
NFL Comp: Bob Sanders/Trent McDuffie
PFF Grade: 90.7
The Rams get the best player on the board and fill a position of need. He is a good fit in the Rams off zone defensive scheme. Barron is a versatile defender that was used all over the field at Texas. He played in the slot, outside and even at linebacker. His best traits are his physicality and speed.
He best fit may be in the slot but he does have the requisite speed and enough size to play outside corner too. Barron could be an All Pro if a team uses him correctly. He could be an All-Pro box safety like Sanders was or he could be another McDuffie, arguably the best slot corner in the NFL in 2024.
27. Baltimore Ravens
Tyler Booker-G-Alabama
6'5"/321/83.50” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Trey Smith/Mike Iupati
PFF Grade: 66.5
Booker is the highest rated guard in the draft class. He is a strong run blocker and adequate in pass protection. He has an ideal arm length for an inside lineman. He is on the first-round border. The Ravens need a plug and play starter at guard. Booker could be the missing piece for the Ravens to win a Super Bowl.
28. Detroit Lions
James Pearce-EDGE-Tennessee
6’5”/245/4.47
NFL Comp: Brian Burns/Josh Sweat
PFF Grade: 87.1
10 sacks and 15 TFL in 2023.
The Lions get the perfect raw prospect to help All Pro pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson. Pearce is an elite athlete that plays with explosiveness. He ran the fastest forty time of any defensive end at the combine. He put up better numbers in 2023 than 2024.Pearce has the same elite speed, length and power as Burns and Sweat. He has the tools to be a double-digit sack guy at the next level.
29. Washington Commanders
Josh Conerly-OT-Oregon
6'4"/311/82.25” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Russell Okung/Dion Dawkins
PFF Grade: 78.3
The Commanders need help on the offensive. Conerly should be able to compete for a starting job at right tackle. Conerly may lack the ideal height and length of a left tackle, but he has the skill set. He is an elite pass protector and has very quick feet. He has outstanding technique that makes up for his lack of size.
30. Buffalo Bills
Luther Burden III-WR-Missouri
6’0”/206/4.41
NFL Comp: Amon-Ra St. Brown/Hines Ward
2024 Stats
86 receptions
1212 total yards
7 TD
If Burden is here, Buffalo should draft him not only to help Josh Allen but to prevent him from being drafted by the Chiefs. Burden is a volume receiver that is amazing with the ball in his hands. His best trait is his versatility to play X, Y or slot. In the right offense with the right offensive coordinator he can be a 100 catch guy.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
Kenneth Grant-DL1T-Michigan
6’4”/331/27 reps
NFL Comp: Vita Vea/Linval Joseph
PFF Grade: 87.1
3 sacks and 7 TFL
The rich get richer here. Grant will be the perfect nose tackle pair with future Hall of Fame player Chris Jones. He is the prototype nose tackle with his ability to take on double teams and beat single blockers. He is a decent pass rusher for his size. Grant is a safe pick as a high floor nose tackle that can start in the league for a decade. Vea and Joseph both won Super Bowls and went to Pro Bowls. The team that picks Grant will hope he can have the same success.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Shemar Stewart-EDGE/LDE-Texas A&M
NFL Comp: Rashan Gary/Odafe Oweh
PFF Grade: 79.5
1.5 sacks and 6 TFL
Philly can afford the risk of the a player with the raw talent of Stewart. He has the incredible physical attributes that scouts look for in a prospect. However, his college production was sorely lacking. Like Green, Stewart made himself a lot of money with a great showing at the Senior Bowl. He is a good run defender and edge setter as he knows how to use his power and speed. Stewart also had the longest arms for any edge player with a seven foot wingspan. Gary and Oweh were both highly recruited players that didn’t put up big sack numbers in college but were still drafted in the first round. Both are solid starters, Stewart should have a similar role at the next level.
Round 2
33. Cleveland Browns
Jaxson Dart-QB-Ole Miss
6’2”/223
NFL Comp: Baker Mayfield/Dak Prescott
4085 passing yards
29 passing touchdowns
6 Interceptions
69.3 completion percentage
180.7 QB Rating
3 Rushing Touchdowns
495 Rushing Yards
Dart is a stocky strong quarterback that has a good arm. He also provides value as a runner where he can get out of the pocket and make plays with his legs. He really improved his touchdown to interception ratio last year.
He could become a good starter in the right system like Baker or Dak but he likely needs a year or two before becoming a starter. His value seems to be all over the place as some say he could be drafted in the late first round while others have him barely in the third round.
34. New York Giants
Jalen Milroe-QB-Alabama
6’2”/217
NFL Comp: Tyrod Taylor/Justin Fields
Stats: 2-year Average:
2839 passing yards
19.5 passing touchdowns
58.8 Interceptions
65.1 completion percentage
160.0 QB Rating
20 Rushing Touchdowns
726 Rushing yards
The Giants get a developmental prospect in Milroe. He is a that is a true dual threat. He has elite speed and good size. He recently ran a 4.37 forty at Alabama’s Pro Day. The team that drafts him will need to be patient as he is still has a long ways to go as a passer.
He regressed from his Junior year numbers and threw 5 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in SEC play last year. It is concerning as he also struggled in the big game in his Junior season. One can tell he just doesn’t trust his arm and would rather run than stay in the pocket. He could become a high end backup like Tyrod or maybe a specialty run package quarterback.
35. Tennessee Titans
Nic Scourton-EDGE-Texas A&M
6’3”/257
NFL Comp: Cliff Avril/Anthony Spencer
PFF Grade: 80.2
5 sacks and 14 TFL}10 sacks and 15 TFL in 2023 at Purdue
The Titans get a quarterback and a pass rusher, two premier positions in the NFL. Scourton put up better numbers at Purdue than he did at A&M. He uses power and toughness to get to the passer. I compare him with two great Boilermakers in Avril and Spencer. Both were undersized but had very productive NFL careers. Both making one Pro Bowl and having seasons with double digit sacks.
36. Jacksonville Jaguars
Nick Emmanwori-SS-South Carolina
6'3"/220/4.38/43” vertical jump/20 reps
NFL Comp: Jeremy Chinn/Jamien Sherwood
PFF Grade: 79.6
Jacksonville needs a starting strong safety. No other player helped their stock at the combine more than Emmanwori. He was the most impressive player regardless of position in terms of size, power and athletic ability. The numbers speak for themselves. He ran an insane Sub 4.4 forty time at 220 pounds. He also had the highest vertical jump and his 20 reps on the bench press were on par with some offensive linemen. As a player, he is a physical box safety that is a good tackler. At the next level he could also be used as a linebacker like Sherwood. Chinn is the best-case outcome for Emmanwori if he stays at safety.
37. Las Vegas Raiders
Omarion Hampton-RB-UNC
6'0''/221/4.46
NFL Comp: Corey Dillon/Matt Forte
2024 Stats
1600 Rushing Yards
17 TDs}
38 receptions
373 Receiving yards
The Raiders lose out on Jeanty in the first but land Hampton here. Hampton is an elite combination of power, speed and vision. He is a day one starter that has the size and receiving ability to be a three down back. He reminds me of two of my favorite backs in history in Dillon and Forte. Both had similar builds and playing style.
38. New England Patriots
Tyleik Williams-DL1T3T-Ohio St
6’3”/334
NFL Comp: Eddie Goldman/Grover Stewart
PFF Grade: 79.2
2.5 sacks and 8 TFL
The Patriots upgrade the other side of the trenches and fill a need at nose tackle. Williams was the nose tackle and anchor on the best defensive line in the country. Williams is the best run stuffer in the class but is not going to provide much against the pass. He has the versatility to play both the one and three techniques. Williams is a very safe pick for a team needing a guy that can come in a start right away.
39. Chicago Bears
Donovan Jackson-G/RT-Ohio St
6'4"/315/83.75” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Kevin Zeitler/Trai Turner
PFF Grade: 71.8
Chicago has Joe Thuney for the present, Jackson is the future. He started for three years at guard and replaced Josh Simmons at left tackle when he was injured. He is a proven leader and high intangible guy. He is not the most athletic
40. New Orleans Saints
Trey Amos-CB-Ole Miss
6'0"/195/4.43
NFL Comp: Trevon Diggs/Paulson Adebo
PFF Grade: 85.6
Amos had a well-traveled college career with stops at Louisiana and Alabama before spending last season at Ole Miss. It all came together for him last season where he earned first team All-SEC. He is a long press corner that is very physical in jamming receivers. He is also one of the better corners in defending against the run.
41. Chicago Bears
Mason Taylor-TE-LSU
6'5"/251
NFL Comparison: Julius Thomas/Jared Cook
2024 Stats:
55 receptions
546 total yards
2 TD
The Bears want to go with more two tight end sets moving forward. Taylor is the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame great Jason Taylor. He has the same long and powerful frame as his father. He is a much better receiver than a blocker right now. He has great hands and speed
42. New York Jets
Aireontae Ersery-OT-Minnesota
6'6"/331/80.88” Wingspan/25 reps
NFL Comp: Morgan Moses/Daryl Williams
PFF Grade: 77.5
Ersery’s combination of size, power and athleticism is elite. He has years of experience starting in the Big Ten where he went up against many skilled pass rushers. He may be best used on the right side of the line at the next level. Like Moses and Williams he should be a quality starter at right tackle.
43. San Francisco 49ers
Azareye'h Thomas-CB-FSU
6'2"/197
NFL Comp: Antonio Cromartie/Xavier Rhodes
PFF Grade: 76.5
The 49ers hit on FSU corner Renardo Green last year. Thomas is another long, physical press corner in this class. He uses his size to jam receivers and has great instincts once the ball is in the air. He lacks elite speed but that should not stop him from becoming a good starter. His size and skill set compares perfectly to former FSU defensive backs Cromartie and Rhodes, both of whom lacked speed but were still All-Pros.
44. Dallas Cowboys
Kaleb Johnson-RB-Iowa
6'1'/224/4.57
NFL Comp: Najee Harris/Le'Veon Bell
2024 Stats
1537 Rushing Yards
23 TD
22 receptions
188 Receiving yards
Dallas gets a workhorse power back in the second round. Johnson had a breakout junior year as the focal point of Iowa's offense. He is a tall, physical back with good vision and solid speed. He can turn into an all around back if he improves his hands and pass protection.
45. Indianapolis Colts
Landon Jackson-EDGE/5T-Arkansas
6’6”/264/4.68/40.5” vert
NFL Comp: Denico Autry/ Za'Darius Smith
PFF Grade: 83.0
6.5 sacks and 10 TFL
Jackson has the ideal combination of length, athletic ability and toughness to be a base end in a 4-3. Jackson has two solid years of production in the SEC. Autry and Smith are both base ends that carved out great roles for themselves in the NFL. Jackson should do the same. A lot of teams could use a secondary edge player. In the second round Jackson could be a steal.
46. Atlanta Falcons
Maxwell Hairston-CB-Kentucky
6'0"/183/4.28/39.5 vert
NFL Comp: Domonique Foxworth/Donte Jackson
PFF Grade: 67.0
Hairston brings world class speed to the corner position. He was the fastest player at the combine and his speed translates on the field. He proved himself in the SEC and had good production the past two seasons. The physical limitations are obvious, but he has a chance to be a very good role player in the league.
47. Arizona Cardinals
Shavon Revel-CB-East Carolina
6'2"/194
NFL Comp: Trumaine Johnson/Rasul Douglas
PFF Grade: 84.0
Revel knows how to use his long frame to jam and shadow receivers. He has the physical tools to become a good outside corner. He’s a former JUCO player that is still raw in terms of technique.
48. Miami Dolphins
Jonah Savaiinaea-RT/G-Arizona
6'4"/324/82.25” Wingspan/4.95
NFL Comp: Tyler Smith/ Abraham Lucas
PFF Grade: 75.9
Savaiinaea’s athletic and size profile are similar to Smith and Lucas. Smith has turned into an elite left guard while Lucas has battled injuries and inconsistent play at right tackle. Savaiinea has great size and power for a guard. He has enough length to play tackle as well. He should be a good value pick on day two of the draft.
49. Cincinnati Bengals
Jack Sawyer-EDGE-Ohio St
6’4”/260
NFL Comp: Sam Hubbard/Dorance Armstrong
PFF Grade: 90.5
9 sacks and 9 TFL
The Bengals need a pass rusher to pair with Trey Hendrickson Sawyer was the hero in the National semifinal game with his scoop and score that sealed a spot in the title for Ohio State. Sawyer is a safe bet as good starting 43 defensive end but he never developed into a pass rusher like the Bosa brothers at Ohio State.
50. Seattle Seahawks
Darius Alexander-DL3T-Toledo
6’4”/305/28 reps/4.95
NFL Comparison: Lawrence Guy/Larry Ogunjobi
PFF Grade: 90.1
2.5 sacks and 4.5 TFL
Alexander is a polarizing prospect with a freakish blend of size, speed and power. However, it took him 6 years to be a star player at Toledo. He has positional versatility as well. Despite his age Alexander still has the raw untapped skills that defensive line coaches love.
51. Denver Broncos
TreVeyon Henderson-RB-Ohio St
5'10''/202/4.43
NFL Comp: James Cook/Willie Parker
2024 Stats
1016 Rushing Yards
11 TDs
27 receptions
284 Receiving yards
Denver gets the perfect speed back for Sean Payton. Henderson rushed for over 1000 yards despite splitting carries with fellow second round prospect Quinshon Judkins. He is an elite athlete with long speed. He is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. He has All Pro potential like Cook and Barber and also has shown to be a more than capable receiver out of the backfield
52. Seattle Seahawks
Benjamin Morrison-CB-Notre Dame
6’0”/193
NFL Comp: Kareem Jackson/Patrick Robinson
PFF Grade: 71.4
Morrison is steady and smooth as a press corner. He isn’t the biggest or the fastest, but he just knows how to play the position. Morrison is one of those guys that may never make a Pro Bowl but should play in the league for a decade, hence my player comparisons for him.
53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Xavier Watts-S-Notre Dame
6’0”/204
NFL Comp: Ha Ha Clinton Dix/Kevin Byard
PFF Grade: 89.7
Watts is a two time All American and ball hawking play maker. He had a combined 13 interceptions the past two seasons. He projects well as a split or single high safety, yet also has enough bulk to play in the slot. He is a proven player that should be able to come in and start right away at the next level.
54. Green Bay Packers
Jack Bech-WR-TCU
6’1”/214
NFL Comp: Jordy Nelson/Cooper Kupp
2024 Stats
62 receptions
1034 total yards
9 TD
Bech was the MVP of the Senior Bowl. He is a very safe prospect that can do a bit of everything as a receiver. At worst he is a very capable number two option, at best he can be an All Pro like Nelson and Kupp.
55. Los Angeles Chargers
Jayden Higgins-WR-Iowa St
6’4”/214/4.44
NFL Comp: Kenny Golladay/Marquez Valdes-Scantling
2024 Stats
84 receptions
1183 total yards
9 TD
Higgins is a tall and fast and can make plays all over the field. He is a good possession receiver but can be more than that in the right offense. His 4.44 vaulted him into late first round discussion as he showed the speed to be an X outside receiver.
56. Buffalo Bills
Alfred Collins-DL5T3T1T-Texas
6’6”/332
NFL Comparison: Jordan Davis/Terrence Cody
PFF Grade: 82.7
1 sack and 6 TFL
Collins had the longest wingspan at the combine at 85” His combination of length, physicality and athletic ability may be the best in the draft class. He played behind 2024 NFL Draft picks Byron Murphy II and T'Vondre Sweat. Last year his snaps increased and he improved as an overall player. He was a five-year college player, but like Alexander he still has plenty of raw potential. Davis has been a good rotational player for the Eagles, Collins could have a similar role in the NFL.
57. Carolina Panthers
Elijah Arroyo-TE-Miami
6'5"/250
NFL Comparison: Tyler Higbee/Chris Cooley
2024 Stats:
35 receptions
590 total yards
2 TD
Arroyo would be on the first round radar if not for a knew injury suffered in 2023. When healthy he was very productive at Miami. He is a versatile player that can lineup in the backfield as an H back. He is more quick than fast and knows how to use his quickness to separate from linebackers.
58. Houston Texans
T.J. Sanders-DL3T-South Carolina
6’4”/297/4.99
NFL Comparison: David Onyemata/Nick Williams
PFF Grade: 82.4
4 sacks and 7 TFL
Sanders is the prototype 3 tech with his combination of size, power and quickness. He is more consistent and had better college production than some of the other defensive tackles that are ranked in the same range. Sanders could provide great value as a pick in the third round.
59. Baltimore Ravens
Darien Porter-CB-Iowa St
6'3"/195/4.30
NFL Comp: Ahkello Witherspoon/Eric Rowe
PFF Grade: 79.4
Porter has the ideal combination height, length and speed that scouts look for in an outside corner. He is both fast and quick as evidenced by his 6.71 three cone drill and 4.04 short shuttle drill. Both drills measure change of direction and short area quickness. He came in as a receiver and his tracking skills are elite. He was in college for six years yet only started one season. Given his size, he could be moved to safety.
60. Detroit Lions
Elic Ayomanor-WR-Stanford
6’2”/206/4.44
NFL Comp: Michael Thomas/Javon Walker
2 Year Average
62.5 receptions
922 total yards
6 TD
Ayomanor is as steady as they come in this class. He is only 206 but plays much stronger and more physical. He is a possession receiver with enough speed to be respected as a deep threat. He should be an instant impact player given his toughness and football IQ.
61. Washington Commanders
J.T. Tuimoloau-EDGE-Ohio St
6’4”/265
NFL Comp: Boye Mafe/Chauncey Golston
PFF Grade: 86.2
12.5 sacks and 22 TFL
Tuimoloau was the number two prospect in the nation in 2021. He had a breakout year as a pass rusher his senior. He plays his game based on power and length. Like teammate Jack Sawyer, he had unfair expectations to become the next Bosa or Chase Young. He is a very good football player, just a very good football player but not on that level.
62. Buffalo Bills
Marcus Mbow-G/RT-Purdue
6'4"/303/80.00” Wingspan
NFL Comp: AJ Cann/Ben Powers
PFF Grade: 73.0
Mbow is undersized to play tackle but has the perfect combination of quickness, length and intelligence. He should be a solid player in the league for a long time. He may fit best at guard at the next level, he could also tun into a good swing tackle.
63. Kansas City Chiefs
Quinshon Judkins-RB-Ohio St
6'0''/221/4.48
NFL Comp: Josh Jacobs/Joe Mixon
3 year Average
1262 Rushing Yards
16.7 TD
19.7 receptions
147.3 Receiving yards
Judkins was a very productive back for two seasons at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio St last season. He is an elite athlete with good size. He could be even better at the next level if a team features him as their go to back.
64. Philadelphia Eagles
Jordan Burch-EDGE/5T-Oregon
6’4”/279/4.67
NFL Comp: John Franklin Myers/Ebenezer Ekuban
PFF Grade: 77.6
8.5 sacks and 11 TFL
Burch tested very well at the combine. He is very fast for a player of that size. His inconsistency throughout his five-year college career combined with a knee injury is what may prevent him from going in the first round. He can play inside or outside on the defensive line and can play in multiple fronts. He has the college production and size. He will be a steal if he can put it all together.
Round 3
65. New York Giants
Carson Schwesinger-LB-UCLA
6’2”/242/22 reps
NFL Comp: Paul Posluszny/Germaine Pratt
PFF Grade: 80.6
4 sacks, 9 TFL and 90 total tackles
Schwesinger was a tackling machine as a junior last season. He went from walk-on to an All-American. He is proof of the old phrase “luck is when preparation meets opportunity” He waited 4 years to start at UCLA and was their best player. His best trait is his pursuit in the open field. He is solid in coverage and has the versatility to play any linebacker spot.
66. Kansas City Chiefs
Cameron Williams-RT-Texas
6'6"/317/84.50” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Orlando Franklin/Germain Ifedi
PFF Grade: 67.4
Accolades: 2023 1st Team All-American
Starts:16 at Right tackle
Ideal Role: Starting Right Tackle or Swing Tackle
Williams has the raw size and tools to be a starting right tackle in the league. He only started one full season at Texas and struggled with elite pass rushers. A team will need to be patient with his development, but he has as much upside as any lineman after the first round.
67. Cleveland Browns
Princely Umanmielen-EDGE-Ole Miss
6’4”/244/4.72/38” vertical
NFL Comp: Arden Key/Bruce Irvin
PFF Grade: 91.1
10.5 sacks and 14 TFL
Umanmielen is who he is. A pass rushing outside linebacker with great speed, length and quickness. If used correctly he can be a very good role player like Key or Irvin. He produced at Florida and at Ole Miss. He is battled tested and can come in as a 3rd down pass rush specialist on day one
68. Las Vegas Raiders
Demetrius Knight Jr.-LB-S Carolina
6’2”/235/4.58/22 reps
NFL Comp: Jordan Hicks/Shaq Leonard
PFF Grade: 82.4
2 sacks, 8 TFL and 82 total tackles
Knight has taken the road less traveled to the NFL. Knight recently turned 25 making him an older prospect. He was recruited to Georgia Tech as a dual threat quarterback in 2019. He was moved to linebacker and played at Tech four seasons before stops and Charlotte and South Carolina last season. He possesses a nice combination of speed, power, length and instincts. He should be a good starter in this league.
69. New England Patriots
Tre Harris-WR-Ole Miss
6’2”/205/4.54
NFL Comp: Eric Moulds/Jake Reed
2024 Stats
60 receptions
1030 total yards
7 TD
Harris is not a burner but he is a proven big play receiver in the SEC. In a wide open offense he can have success with one on one matchups.
70. Jacksonville Jaguars
Tate Ratledge-G-Georgia
6’7”/308/79.25” Wingspan/4.97
NFL Comparison: Will Fries/Joe Thuney
PFF Grade: 74.4
Ratledge has the coolest mullet on this side of Billy Ray Cyrus. He is an experienced three-year starter and was battle tested in the SEC. He has a good combination of quickness, size and technique. He has the tools to be an elite pass blocker and solid run blocker. He has nearly identical size and length to Fries and a similar athletic profile to Thuney. Ratledge can be a steal in the third round.
71. New Orleans Saints
Tyler Shough-QB-Louisville
6’5”/219
NFL Comp: Dan Orlovsky/ Sage Rosenfels
2024 Stats:
3195 passing yards
23 passing touchdowns6 Interceptions
62.7 completion percentage
148.1 QB Rating
Shough takes the cake. He was part of the 2018 high school class, the class led by Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence is entering his 5th year in the NFL and is on his second contract. Shough will be 26 in September, he is older than about a quarter of the starting quarterbacks from last season. There is a chance he will be the last player ever drafted that was born in the 1990’s.
Enough about his age, his journey has been filled with stops at Oregon, Texas Tech and finally Louisville in 2024. He battled injuries but made it though 2024 healthy. He has a nice combination of size, arm talent and intelligence. He is also very athletic for his size, as he ran a 4.69 forty at the combine. He could turn into a very good backup at the next level.
72. Chicago Bears
Josaiah Stewart-EDGE-Michigan
6’1”/249
NFL Comp: Elvis Dumervil/Robert Mathis
PFF Grade: 91.2
8.5 sacks and 13 TFL
Stewart would be a sure fire top 20 pick if he were taller. Lucklily for him, he knows how to use his height to his advantage with a great first step, leverage and toughness. He is a defensive end and should be used as one accordingly. He has a chance to become a major steal like Dumervil and Mathis were in the early 2000s.
73. New York Jets
Joshua Farmer-DL3T5T-FSU
6’3”/305/26 reps
NFL Comparison: Milton Williams/A'Shawn Robinson
PFF Grade: 63.5
4 sacks and 8 TFL
Farmer is one of the best interior pass rushers in the class. With an 83” wingspan, he has the elite length to play as a 5 tech defensive end in a 3-4 defensive alignment. Farmer has a chance to be a productive NFL player but he may need to find the perfect fit to get substantial playing time.
74. Carolina Panthers
Andrew Mukuba-FS-Texas
6'0"/186/4.45
NFL Comp: Jordan Poyer/Desmond King
PFF Grade: 90.0
Mukuba is among the most experienced and proven players in the draft. He started 3 years at Clemson before spending his final college season at Texas. He is a very instinctive and intelligent player. He fits best as a free safety given his lack of size. He has the athletic ability to play in the slot as well.
75. San Francisco 49ers
Kevin Winston Jr.-S-Penn St.
6'2"/215
NFL Comparison: Kyle Dugger/Grant Delpit
PFF Grade: 61.2
Scouts and coaches know exactly what they are getting with Winston. He is a big, physical, athletic safety that projects a big slot. He is very inexperienced due to him missing most of last season with an injury. He only started his true Sophomore season at Penn State and just turned 21. He has the maturity of an older prospect as he was a captain at Penn St. The injury concerns may drop him to the third round where he would be an absolute steal.
76. Dallas Cowboys
Kyle Kennard-EDGE-South Carolina
6’4”/254/4.73
NFL Comp: Carl Granderson/ Emmanuel Ogbah
PFF Grade: 77.0
11.5 sacks and 16 TFL
Kennard played 4 seasons at Georgia Tech and then one season in the SEC at South Carolina. He was named SEC Defensive player of the year as he led the conference in sacks and tackles for loss. Kennard is strong enough to play on the line and athletic enough to be a stand-up rusher. If he can become more consistent he can become a starter at the next level.
77. New England Patriots
Dylan Sampson-RB-Tennessee
5'9''/200
NFL Comp: Ray Rice/Aaron Jones
2024 Stats
1491 Rushing Yards
22 TD
20 receptions
143 Receiving yards
Sampson will bring speed, power and toughness to the team that drafts him. He is a big play threat with a knack for the endzone. In a deep running back class Sampson seems to be the forgotten man but it would not be a surprise if he ends up better than any back other than Ashton Jeanty.
78. Arizona Cardinals
Omarr Norman Lott-DL3T-Tennessee
6’2”/291
NFL Comp: Shelby Harris/Osa Odighizuwa
PFF Grade: 69.4
4 sacks and 4 TFL
5.5 sacks and 6 TFL in 2023
Norman-Lott was a little more productive in 2023, but his 2024 tape is still very good. He is shorter than the average tackle but knows how to use his leverage to collapse the pocket. He has long arms for his frame and huge hands. He has the tools to be a starter with more consistency.
79. Houston Texans
Jared Wilson-C/G-Georgia
6’3”/310/80.00” Wingspan/4.84
NFL Comparison: Erik McCoy/Quinn Meinerz
PFF Grade: 79.6
Wilson is the best center prospect in the draft due to his elite athletic traits. He lacks experience as he only started one year at Georgia. His athletic profile is very similar to McCoy and Meinerz. Wilson is not a plug and play starting center like Zach Frazier or Graham Barton last year. But he has the tools to contribute at guard immediately.
80. Indianapolis Colts
Wyatt Milum-G/RT-West Virginia
6’7”/313/79.50” Wingspan
NFL Comparison: Colton McKivitz/Andrus Peat
PFF Grade: 91.0
Milum is as experienced as they come in this year’s class. He has experience at both tackle spots but may be best used at guard at the next level. He is a physical downhill blocker in the running game. His size and skill set compare favorably to another West Virginia alum in McKivitz. He is a safe high floor prospect in the third round.
81. Cincinnati Bengals
Cam Skattebo-RB-Arizona St
5'10''/219
NFL Comp: Peyton Hillis/Larry Centers
2024 Stats
1711 Rushing Yards
24 TD
45 receptions
605 Receiving yards
Skattebo was a little known recruit who only had one Division 1 offer from Sacramento St. He played there for two season before going to Arizona St. Last season he made history for the Sun Devils leading them to the College Football Playoff. His best trait is his versatility as a pass catcher and runner. He could be used at full back and half back similar to Hillis on the Browns and Centers back in the day on the Cardinals.
82. Seattle Seahawks
Jaylin Noel-WR-Iowa St
5'10''/194/4.39
NFL Comp: Will Fuller/Laveranues Coles
2024 Stats
80 receptions
1194 total yards
8 TD
Noel is a fast deep threat. His lack of size may limit him to the slot but he can be a very productive player in the right offense. He is the perfect number 3 for Seattle.
83. Pittsburgh Steelers
Shemar Turner-DL5T3T-Texas A&M
6’3”/290
NFL Comp: Levi Onwuzurike/Jonathan Bullard
PFF Grade: 59.4
2 sacks and 6 TFL
6 sacks and 11 TFL in 2023
Turner was a very highly touted prospect in the class of 2021. He was a three year starter at A&M. His junior year was his best season. He has the tools and potential to be a solid starter like Onwuzurike or a good rotational player like Bullard has been for nearly a decade.
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Charles Grant-OT/G-William & Mary
6'5"/311/81.88” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Braxton Jones/Trey Pipkins
PFF Grade: 91.2
Grant is a wrestler turned football player. He dominated FCS competition and has great technique for someone who is new to the game of football. There are plenty of examples of small school guys that became starting offensive tackles from Terron Armstead to Jones to Pipkins. Grant hopes to be the next guy added to this list.
85. Denver Broncos
Bradyn Swinson-EDGE-LSU
6’4”/255
NFL Comp: D.J. Wonnum/Bryce Huff
PFF Grade: 83.3
8.5 sacks and 13 TFL
Swinson was a reserve at Oregon three seasons before transferring to LSU where he was a backup and then had his breakout season last year. His best trait is his quickness getting off the ball. He fits best as a 3-4 stand up rush backer, hence the comparisons to Wonnum and Huff.
86. Los Angeles Chargers
Oluwafemi Oladejo-EDGE-UCLA
6’3”/259
NFL Comp: Malcolm Koonce/K'Lavon Chaisson
PFF Grade: 92.4
4.5 sacks and 14 TFL Oladejo played off ball linebacker at California where he had 91 tackles. At UCLA he moved to edge defender. His ability to tackle in open space is still elite. He really helped himself at the Senior Bowl where he showcased his skills as a pass rusher. He could be a very nice chess piece given his versatility to rush the passer, drop into coverage and make tackles in space
87. Green Bay Packers
Deone Walker-DL5T3T-Kentucky
6’7”/331/22 reps
NFL Comp: Alan Branch/Daniel McCullers
PFF Grade: 71.2
1.5 sacks and 5 TFL7.5 sacks and 13 TFL in 2023
Walker is a traits based prospect with rare height and weight for the position. He was very consistent with three years of college production in the SEC. He started as a Freshman and was a Freshman All American. He has the length to play the 5 tech but he was almost always inside at Kentucky. Branch and McCullers were similar sized players that had good careers as rotational tackles.
88. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jalen Royals-WR-Utah St
6’0”/205/4.42
NFL Comp: DJ Moore/Chris Godwin
2024 Stats
71 receptions
1080 total yards
15 TD
Royals was a big play machine in college. He is strong and powerful with the ball in his hands. He should be a very good number 2/3 option like Moore and Godwin. The Jaguars get another weapon for Trevor Lawrence.
89. Houston Texans
RJ Harvey-RB-Tennessee
5'8''/205
NFL Comp: Kevin Smith/D'andre Swift
2024 Stats
1577 Rushing Yards
25 TD
20 receptions
267 Receiving yards
Harvey's best trait is his ability to force missed tackles. He is small but knows how to use his low center of gravity to his advantage. He compares to former UCF back Kevin Smith with Swift's upside.
90. Los Angeles Rams
Savion Williams-WR-TCU
6’4”/222/4.48
NFL Comp: Allen Lazard/Riley Cooper.
2024 Stats
60 receptions
611 total yards
6 TD
Williams has a good combination of size, speed and toughness. He was used more as a possession receiver at TCU. He shared targets with Jack Bech at TCU and thus his numbers were not as high as the other third round prospects
91. Baltimore Ravens
Ashton Gillotte-EDGE-Louisville
6’3”/264
NFL Comp: Matt Judon/Dawuane Smoot
PFF Grade: 86.2
4.5 sacks and 10 TFL
11 sacks and 14.5 TFL in 2023.
Gillotte had a very productive four years at Louisville. Gillotte’s player comparison to Matt Judon may be the most perfect comparison I have had in years. Judon was number 9 on New England from 21-23 and number 9 on Louisville looks very similar. Both are relentless and versatile defensive ends that good against the pass and run. Both uses power and technique over size. Judon is a 4x Pro Bowler so that is the ceiling for Gillotte.
92. Seattle Seahawks
Ozzy Trapilo-OT-Boston College
6’8”/313/81.00” Wingspan
NFL Comparison: Mike McGlinchey/Sam Young
PFF Grade: 76.8
Trapilo is a tall tackle prospect that found his home the past two seasons on the right side of the line. He knows how to use his height and length in pass protection. He needs to improve as a run blocker and may need to add weight if he wants to be a starter.
93. New Orleans Saints
Anthony Belton-G/RT-NC St
6'6"/336/83.13”
NFL Comp: Mekhi Becton/Marcus Cannon
PFF Grade: 73.6
Belton has taken a long road to the NFL with two years at Georgia Military Academy before landing in Raleigh. He played four years at NC St, starting the last three. Belton is a massive man with an elite combination of length and power. He could turn into a starter at right tackle but a move inside may serve him best.
94. Cleveland Browns
Jared Ivey-EDGE/5T-Ole Miss
6’6”/274
NFL Comp: William Gholston/Deatrich Wise
PFF Grade: 90.6
6.5 sacks and 10 TFL
Ivey is an intriguing prospect given his size and length. The team that drafts him will likely use his versatility to play on the edge or inside as a defensive end. Ivey may never be a high production sack guy but he can turn into a versatile role player. In the third round he would be a pretty safe choice.
95. Kansas City Chiefs
Terrance Ferguson-TE-Oregon
6'5"/247/4.63
NFL Comparison: Jermichael Finley/Dalton Kincaid
2024 Stats:
43 receptions
591 total yards
3 TD
Ferguson is another tight end that is a great pass catcher but not physical enough in the blocking game. He could become a solid starter if used to his strengths as a pass catcher.
96. Philadelphia Eagles
Xavier Restrepo-WR-Miami
5'10''/209
NFL Comp: Golden Tate/Jarvis Landry
2024 Stats
69 receptions
1127 total yards
11 TD
Restrepo was the go to receiver for likely first overall pick Cam Ward last season at Miami. He is seen as a slot only which is why his value is likely in the third round. He
97. Minnesota Vikings
Jalen Rivers-RT/G-Miami
6'6"/319/83.88” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Terence Steele/Marcus Gilbert
PFF Grade: 70.7
Starts: 31, 21 at Left Tackle, 10 at Left Guard
Ideal Role: Starting Right Tackle or Guard
Rivers is an elite pass blocker with great length. He is a very sound technical player that lacks elite athletic ability. He also comes with injury concerns. He looked like a first round lock in 2023 playing left tackle. He also has the versatility to play most spots on the line.
98. Miami Dolphins
Isaiah Bond-WR-Texas
5'11''/180/4.39
NFL Comp: John Brown/Travis Benjamin
2 year average
41 receptions
604 total yards
4.5 TD
Bond will be drafted based on potential and traits not his college production. His upside is as a Brown/Benjamin deep threat but he will need to find the right fit as a number three target to have the careers of those guys.
99. New York Giants
Harold Fannin -TE-Bowling Green
6'3"/241/4.71
NFL Comparison: Owen Daniels/Daniel Graham
2024 Stats:
117 receptions
1555 total yards
10 TD
Fannin put up video game like numbers last season. He may be the best in the class at getting yards after the catch. This is the classic small school sleeper that could end up being an absolute steal in the 3rd/4th round or a guy that struggles to find a niche in the league.
100. San Francisco 49ers
Emery Jones Jr.-RT/G-LSU
6'5"/315/81.50” Wingspan/33 reps
NFL Comp: Austin Jackson/ Rodger Saffold
PFF Grade: 61.7
Jones started opposite Will Campbell the past three seasons at LSU. Like many in the class, he is probably better suited to play guard at the next level. He has a great combination of power and length. He could turn into a solid starting tackle but he has elite upside as a guard.
101. Los Angeles Rams
Quinn Ewers-QB-Texas
6’2”/214
NFL Comp: Jimmy Garoppolo/Drew Lock
2024 Stats:
3472 passing yards
31 passing touchdowns
12 Interceptions
65.8 completion percentage
149.0 QB Rating
It is easy to forget that Ewers was the number one high school prospect in 2021. He possesses a great arm but has just been too inconsistent in college. The physical tools and abilities are clearly there with Ewers. He handled the Arch Manning situation with class and held him off as the starter in Austin. Like Sanders, he is a gamer that has high intangibles. At the next level he should develop into a high level backup or a mid level starter like Jimmy G
102. Detroit Lions
Jacob Parrish-Slot DB-Kansas St
5’10”/191/4.35
NFL Comp: Avonte Maddox/Troy Hill
PFF Grade: 74.7
Parrish is undersized but is a great athlete. He has great feet and exceptional hips. He has the skill set to a very good nickel or dime corner like Maddox or Hill. His lack of physicality is the reason he is on the day two border.
