Interesting notes from scouts on draft

Kiper and Yates new 3 round mock:

1. Tennessee Titans​

Yates' pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The Titans' offseason actions -- including adding to the offensive line -- indicate how they are approaching this pick. They still need a QB1 of the future, with Will Levis atop the depth chart. Ward is my top-ranked signal-caller in the class, and he'd be a great fit in Tennessee. Ward has a dynamic skill set, displays a rocket arm and is the class's most innovative passer when under duress.

i

2. Cleveland Browns​



Kiper's pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Cleveland lacks playmakers, and it would get one on both sides of the ball in Hunter. I'd play him primarily on offense, where his speed, ball skills and instincts helped him to 1,258 yards last season. But the Browns could also sprinkle him in at corner, especially in high-stakes parts of the game. Hunter has been my No. 1 prospect through the whole draft cycle and has the chance to be special in the pros.

  • ​

i

3. New York Giants​

Yates' pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

The second-rated player on my board is just too good for the Giants to bypass, even with the QB concerns. They can wait until Day 2 to address that, especially if they aren't sold on Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. The Giants already have a quality edge rush group, but it'd become that much nastier with the addition of Carter, who had 12 sacks in 2024.

i

4. New England Patriots​

Kiper's pick: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

With Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter both gone, this pick becomes all about the offensive line. I know a lot has been made of Campbell's sub-33-inch arm length, but he has the footwork and pop to stick at left tackle and keep Pats quarterback Drake Maye clean.

i

5. Jacksonville Jaguars​

Yates' pick: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

The Jaguars have holes at every level of their defense after allowing 5.9 yards per play last season (31st in the NFL), and Graham is the best available player. He impacts the game in a meaningful way as both a pass rusher and run defender with elite play strength and explosion off the snap.

i

6. Las Vegas Raiders​

Kiper's pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Let's get new Raiders coach Pete Carroll his running back. Las Vegas averaged 3.6 yards per carry last season, lowest in the league. Jeanty has the elusiveness and vision to rip off big runs and completely change the Raiders' ground attack.

i

7. New York Jets​

Yates' pick: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

The Jets must provide new quarterback Justin Fields with adequate time to throw -- he has proved effective in the past when he has a clean pocket. Membou's tenacity and pass protection acumen make him a hand-in-glove fit in New York. He has started 30 games over his career, and he allowed just one sack last season.

i

8. Carolina Panthers​

Kiper's pick: Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia

Carolina had big-time defensive issues last season. Walker can roam the second level with his sideline-to-sideline speed or fly off the edge to get home on the quarterback. The Panthers have to get some difference-makers on that side of the ball.

i

9. New Orleans Saints​

Yates' pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

There's uncertainty around Derek Carr's 2025 season amid his shoulder injury, so the Saints must at least consider taking a quarterback at No. 9. Sanders displays really good accuracy, poise and toughness -- traits that should appeal to new coach Kellen Moore as New Orleans aims to stay competitive in the division.

i

10. Chicago Bears​

Kiper's pick: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

New coach Ben Johnson would love having Warren in his offense. At 6-foot-6, Warren lines up just about anywhere, will consistently be a mismatch for defenders and can catch everything thrown in his neighborhood. The Bears focused on improving their offensive line in free agency, and now they can get Caleb Williams an elite playmaker.

i

11. San Francisco 49ers​

Yates' pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

While Trent Williams will be the 49ers' starting left tackle as long as he is still playing, San Francisco must be forward-thinking. After all, Williams is turning 37 this year. Banks has a massive 84⅜-inch wingspan, 42 starts of experience and really impressive quickness.

i

12. Dallas Cowboys​

Kiper's pick: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

I thought about North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton, but the possibility of Golden's 4.29 speed and great route running opposite CeeDee Lamb just make too much sense. The Cowboys can finally get some reliability at WR2 for quarterback Dak Prescott. They haven't had two wide receivers over 700 yards since Lamb and Amari Cooper both did it in 2021.

i

13. Miami Dolphins​

Yates' pick: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Johnson is one of the 10 best players in this class, as his excellent ball skills, instincts and 6-foot-2 size all stand out. The Dolphins have a hole opposite Jalen Ramsey, making cornerback a pressing need. And yes, Miami must also address the offensive line, but it can do so on Day 2.

i

14. Indianapolis Colts​

Kiper's pick: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Loveland can be Anthony Richardson's seam-stretcher and really improve the Colts' tight end room, which didn't even reach 500 receiving yards last season. It's a huge year for Richardson, and if the Colts want to properly evaluate him as their future under center, they should build up his supporting cast.

i

15. Atlanta Falcons​

Yates' pick: Mike Green, Edge, Marshall

The Falcons registered the second-fewest sacks in the league last season (31), so edge rusher is still a problem even after signing Leonard Floyd. Green is explosive, powerful and pro-ready, and he should be able to get pressure on opponent QBs right away. He led the FBS with 17 sacks last season.

i

16. Arizona Cardinals​

Kiper's pick: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Garrett Williams was terrific at slot corner last season, but the Cardinals could use a boost on the outside. This team allowed 7.3 yards per pass attempt last season, which ranked in the league's bottom third. Barron is versatile, ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at the combine and picked off five passes last season.

17. Cincinnati Bengals​

Yates' pick: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

The Bengals have a number of defensive options to consider, as the team could plausibly spend its entire draft on that side of the ball and I wouldn't bat an eye. That unit struggled in 2024, giving up 25.5 points per game. Nolen is a disruptive interior rusher, and his best snaps show pure dominance. Finding more consistency would unlock another level of his game.

i

18. Seattle Seahawks​

Kiper's pick: Grey Zabel, G/C, North Dakota State

It might seem early for an FCS interior offensive lineman, but Zabel proved at the Senior Bowl that he absolutely belongs in this conversation. The Seahawks' issues with inside protection are clear, and Zabel has the footwork, technique and power to instantly improve things there. And his versatility means Seattle could move him wherever he's needed.

i

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers​

Yates' pick: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Tampa Bay is looking for help almost everywhere on defense, but Antoine Winfield Jr. really needs an impact player next to him at safety. Adding Emmanwori would form an incredibly physical duo on the back end. Emmanwori ran a 4.38 in the 40 at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, and he had four interceptions last season -- two of which were returned for touchdowns.

Three-round NFL mock draft: Kiper and Yates pick landing spots for 102 top prospects, six QBs

Two trades? Six quarterbacks? A bunch of tough calls? Mel and Field alternate making projections for 102 picks across Days 1 and 2 of the draft.
www.espn.com www.espn.com
 

20. Denver Broncos​

Kiper's pick: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

I know it's a deep running back class, but this would be a good spot to get Hampton. He has three-down traits, and he could be coach Sean Payton's version of Alvin Kamara in Denver. The Broncos lack a true RB1; they need one to take some pressure off second-year quarterback Bo Nix.

i

21. Pittsburgh Steelers​

Yates' pick: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Harmon led all FBS players in pressures from a DT alignment last season (34). And while the defensive line is strong in Pittsburgh, the roster could start looking to the future. Cameron Heyward will be 36 this season, so I like the idea of building with Harmon and Keeanu Benton. And as for the quarterback situation, I'm holding off. Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are off the board. It makes sense to wait until later in the draft (and sign Aaron Rodgers).

i

22. Los Angeles Chargers​

Kiper's pick: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert would love Egbuka's crisp route running and sure hands on the outside. Los Angeles can build its receiver room back up around him, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, with Mike Williams providing a veteran presence after his return this offseason.

i

23. Green Bay Packers​

Yates' pick: Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

Stewart has some of the most intriguing traits in the class. His speed, length and power all pop on tape and were on full display at the combine. However, he managed just 4.5 sacks in three seasons at Texas A&M. This would be a bet on his potential for Green Bay, but there's no doubt the Packers could use his upside and ability to get pressure off the edge.

i

24. Minnesota Vikings​

Kiper's pick: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State

The Vikings knew they had to address the interior this offseason and went out and signed guard Will Fries and center Ryan Kelly. But Jackson would represent an upgrade over Blake Brandel at the other guard spot. Jackson has some really strong movement traits.

i

25. Houston Texans​

Yates' pick: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

The wait ends for McMillan. He's not blazing fast, but he wins with an excellent catch radius, strong hands and very good routes. The Texans must hit receiver and offensive line hard in the draft, and I like the fit of McMillan joining Nico Collins, Christian Kirk and eventually Tank Dell (knee).

i

26. Los Angeles Rams​

Kiper's pick: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Speed and ball skills. Hairston ran the combine's fastest 40-yard dash (4.28 seconds) and had six interceptions and 13 pass breakups over his final two seasons. He'd absolutely boost the Rams' cornerback corps.

i

27. Baltimore Ravens​

Yates' pick: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

This is what the Ravens do in the draft. They patiently allow the board to come to them and then snag rock-solid prospects. Starks would check a box at free safety and represent good value at the same time. His instincts, versatility and ball skills would work well alongside Kyle Hamilton.

i

28. Detroit Lions​

Kiper's pick: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

We talk a lot about the Lions' pass-rush hole opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Let's fix it. Williams can beat blockers with his explosiveness, and he has even more upside for new Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard to unlock.

i
i


Projected trade​

Browns get: Nos. 29 and 128
Commanders get: Nos. 33 and 67

Yates: Mel, I think we need a trade here. Cleveland could look to trade back into the first round if the quarterback board falls the right way, and this is a good chance to do so.

Kiper: Makes a lot of sense to me. The Commanders would love an extra Day 2 pick.

i

29. Cleveland Browns (via projected trade with WSH)​

Yates' pick: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

The Browns can't risk the Giants leapfrogging them from the top of the second round, so they could make their own aggressive move up. Dart would fill out the Browns' quarterback room with Deshaun Watson out (Achilles), joining Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco. He's accurate and mobile with a big arm. And by getting him in Round 1, Cleveland would have a fifth-year option on Dart, too.

i

30. Buffalo Bills​

Kiper's pick: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

This is the biggest weakness on the Bills' roster; they need another starter at cornerback. Opponents moved the ball through the air too easily last season, as Buffalo allowed 68.5% of passes to be completed (fifth worst in the NFL). Amos -- who had three picks and 15 pass breakups last season -- could slide into free agent Rasul Douglas' spot.

i

31. Kansas City Chiefs​

Yates' pick: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

What a coup this would be for Kansas City. The Chiefs must continue to address the offensive line even following the signing of Jaylon Moore. Conerly was excellent last season as the frontside protector for Dillon Gabriel, allowing just one sack. He could eventually do that for Patrick Mahomes. Conerly is always in control and dependable.

i

32. Philadelphia Eagles​

Kiper's pick: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Combining Campbell with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean at the second level would make defensive coordinator Vic Fangio smile. Campbell does it all. He finished last season with 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and an interception. This Super Bowl-winning defense saw a lot of turnover earlier in the offseason, but Campbell has the toolbox to contribute in multiple ways.


_end_rule.png

ROUND 2​

i

33. Washington Commanders (via projected trade with CLE)​

Yates' pick: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College

Ezeiruaku would be terrific value at the top of the second round -- he could easily climb into the 20s as one of the best pure pass rushers in the class. He had 16.5 sacks last season, and his 65 pressures led the nation.

i

34. New York Giants​

Kiper's pick: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville

After going another direction in the first round, the Giants can land an experienced passer with good arm strength. Shough threw 29 touchdown passes last season, and he'd have the opportunity to learn alongside Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.


i

35. Tennessee Titans​

Yates' pick: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

The Titans got Cam Ward. Now they must provide him with some legit playmakers beyond Calvin Ridley. Higgins could bring size, speed and versatility outside.

i

36. Jacksonville Jaguars​

Kiper's pick: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Burden has juice after the catch, and he'd help Trevor Lawrence in that department. This is good value, too -- Burden could ultimately go in Round 1.
 

37. Las Vegas Raiders​

Yates' pick: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

While Kolton Miller is the left tackle anchor right now, he's set to be a free agent in 2026. Simmons might be coming off a knee injury, but his excellent skill set fits well here.

i

38. New England Patriots​

Kiper's pick: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

The Patriots spent big to land Milton Williams, and Grant could be a 331-pound run stopper right next to him. He's explosive and instinctive.

i

39. Chicago Bears (via CAR)​

Yates' pick: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

The Bears aren't messing around on offense here. First, they got Tyler Warren. Now they can get Caleb Williams an explosive runner in the backfield. Henderson averaged 7.1 yards per carry last season and can run away from the defense.


i

40. New Orleans Saints​

Kiper's pick: Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Thomas' speed and length could be exactly what the Saints need on the outside after trading Marshon Lattimore last fall. The takeaways haven't come quite yet for Thomas, but he did have 19 pass breakups over three years.

i

41. Chicago Bears​

Yates' pick: Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M

The Bears are back on the clock, and this time I have them tapping into the power and deep pass-rush move arsenal of Scourton. He had 15 sacks in the past two seasons and is stout against the run.

i

42. New York Jets​

Kiper's pick: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

I had this second-round match in my mock draft last week, too. Arroyo could use his size and speed to get open for Justin Fields. He caught seven touchdown passes last season in a true breakout year.

i

43. San Francisco 49ers​

Yates' pick: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

San Francisco will be using its 11 picks to check off needs, one of which is pass-rush depth. Pearce displays effortless movement skills and bend off the edge.

i

44. Dallas Cowboys​

Kiper's pick: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

Dallas has injury concerns at cornerback with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland. Yes, Revel has his own -- he is coming off a torn ACL. But he's big and long, and he makes plays on the ball. Revel would give the Cowboys another option on a pass defense that must improve.

i

45. Indianapolis Colts​

Yates' pick: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

Few players skyrocketed on draft boards last season quite like Schwesinger, who has elite range as a coverage 'backer. He had 115 tackles in 2024.

i

46. Atlanta Falcons​

Kiper's pick: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Morrison is coming off a hip injury, but he has really good press coverage traits and picked off nine passes in three seasons. The Falcons could slot him opposite A.J. Terrell.

i

47. Arizona Cardinals​

Yates' pick: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Arizona must further address the offensive line in front of Kyler Murray, and few players in this class provide Booker's level of power as a run-game force. He also allowed one sack over three seasons, showing his upside in pass protection.

i

48. Miami Dolphins​

Kiper's pick: Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo

Tyler Booker would have been a great fit, and Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea was under consideration. But the defensive line is also a weak spot. Alexander is quick enough and strong enough to hold up wherever Miami would line him up.


i

49. Cincinnati Bengals​

Yates' pick: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

Another defensive contributor for the Bengals. Watts' 13 picks over the past two seasons were the most in the FBS in that time.

i

50. Seattle Seahawks​

Kiper's pick: Jonah Savaiinaea, G, Arizona

I know we gave Seattle an offensive lineman in Round 1 (Grey Zabel), but GM John Schneider will likely hammer that position at the draft. Savaiinaea and Zabel would give the Seahawks two strong and reliable blockers who could play any position.

i

51. Denver Broncos​

Yates' pick: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Denver signed Evan Engram this offseason, and it could really take the tight end room to the next level with Taylor. He's a natural pass catcher, but he also holds up very well as a blocker.

i

52. Seattle Seahawks (via PIT)​

Kiper's pick: Jack Bech, WR, TCU

Seattle has already started rebuilding the WR room after moving on from DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. But the roster is slot-heavy with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp right now. Bech can play outside, was great at the Senior Bowl and caught nine touchdowns last season.


i

53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers​

Yates' pick: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

Tampa Bay's secondary overhaul could keep rolling with Porter, who has great 6-foot-3 size and 4.3 speed. The former receiver is still developing in his new position, but he has the traits to become a difference-maker there.

i

54. Green Bay Packers​

Kiper's pick: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

Noel has the hands to haul in tough catches and the elusiveness to tack on yards after the catch. Green Bay has historically waited until Day 2 to add receivers, and there are some good ones in this range.

i

55. Los Angeles Chargers​

Yates' pick: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Two Ohio State players for former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh? Look away, Wolverine fans! But the power of Judkins would fit what Harbaugh wants, and the Najee Harris signing won't stop the Chargers from further addressing the backfield. Judkins ran for 14 TDs last season.
 

56. Buffalo Bills (via MIN/HOU)​

Kiper's pick: Savion Williams, WR, TCU

I'm taking all the receivers, Field. This is three in a row for me. Buffalo, of course, could use another one to join Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

i

57. Carolina Panthers (via LAR)​

Yates' pick: Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College

Carolina must think offensive line early in this draft with a bunch of guys in contract years. Trapilo would be appealing for the Panthers as they try to improve Bryce Young's protection.


i

58. Houston Texans​

Kiper's pick: Anthony Belton, OT/G, NC State

We obviously can't go two rounds without any offensive line reinforcements for Houston. The team gave up 54 sacks last season and made a bunch of big changes this offseason -- but there are still holes. Belton played left tackle in college but has the versatility to fit in wherever the Texans need him.

i

59. Baltimore Ravens​

Yates' pick: JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State

Baltimore's edge rush needs some work, especially with Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy entering the final years of their deals. Tuimoloau is ready to play right out of the gate; he's one of the most refined rushers in the class.

i

60. Detroit Lions​

Kiper's pick: Marcus Mbow, G, Purdue

There's an opening at right guard in Detroit, and Mbow could compete with Kayode Awosika and Christian Mahogany to start. He has spent two seasons at right tackle but started at right guard for Purdue in 2022.

i

61. Washington Commanders​

Yates' pick: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

Parrish is tough, feisty and extremely fast. Benjamin St-Juste is gone, and Marshon Lattimore has battled some injuries, so getting another corner should be a focus for Washington.

i

62. Buffalo Bills​

Kiper's pick: Oluwafemi Oladejo, Edge, UCLA

The Bills replaced Von Miller with Joey Bosa, but it's a one-year deal. Plus, they would still like more youth in the edge rush group. Oladejo has good burst and finished with 29 pressures in 2024.

i

63. Kansas City Chiefs​

Yates' pick: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas

Kansas City will always be in the business of adding pass rushers, and Jackson has terrific length and plays with one of the best motors in the class. The Chiefs tied for 18th in sacks last season (39).

i

64. Philadelphia Eagles​

Kiper's pick: Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State

I closed my two-round mock draft last week with Winston to the Eagles. I'm doing it again today. Winston missed almost the entire 2024 season because of a knee injury, but he could absolutely help Philly's safety group.


_end_rule.png

ROUND 3​

i

65. New York Giants​

Yates' pick: Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia

No matter who is playing quarterback for the Giants, the protection has to improve. Ratledge has really impressive footwork and toughness.

i

66. Kansas City Chiefs (via TEN)​

Kiper's pick: Harold Fannin Jr., TE/HB, Bowling Green

Fannin led the nation in receiving last season with 1,555 yards. Kansas City could use him in a multitude of ways, and he could even develop into Travis Kelce's eventual replacement.

i

67. Washington Commanders (via projected trade with CLE)​

Yates' pick: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

More backfield depth makes sense for the Commanders, and Johnson would bring a good blend of size and power. His 1,537 rushing yards ranked seventh in the FBS last season.


i
i


Projected trade​

Steelers get: No. 68
Raiders get: No. 83 and a 2026 third-rounder

Kiper: OK, one more trade. We've seen only four quarterbacks off the board, and none of them went to the Steelers.

Yates: I agree. They don't have a second-rounder after trading for DK Metcalf, but waiting until No. 83 for a QB is risky.

i

68. Pittsburgh Steelers (via projected trade with LV)​

Kiper's pick: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

There's still a good chance the Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers, but he isn't under contract yet. They should draft a quarterback for the long term, but they might need to draft a quarterback for the short term, too. Milroe has the arm to hit DK Metcalf and George Pickens downfield, and he can take off as a runner when he gets an opening.

i

69. New England Patriots​

Yates' pick: Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

Even after signing Stefon Diggs, the Patriots have to give quarterback Drake Maye more pass-catching options. Williams' ability to accelerate to top speed really stands out.

i

70. Jacksonville Jaguars​

Kiper's pick: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas

I'm a big fan of Mukuba's game, and he could join Eric Murray in filling Andre Cisco's void on the back end of the Jaguars' defense. Mukuba picked off five passes last season; Jacksonville was 30th in the NFL with only six INTs.
 

71. New Orleans Saints​

Yates' pick: Jordan Burch, Edge, Oregon

Burch put together an excellent final season at Oregon with 8.5 sacks. He has length, fluidity and power. And the Saints could use youth on the edge with Cameron Jordan turning 36.

i

72. Chicago Bears​

Kiper's pick: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

The Bears went after the interior of the offensive line in free agency, but Braxton Jones is coming off an ankle injury at left tackle. Ersery is a massive 6-foot-6 blocker with 39 career starts and great power.


i

73. New York Jets​

Yates' pick: Princely Umanmielen, Edge, Ole Miss

The Jets could consider a pass rusher earlier than this, but this is good value for Umanmielen. He had 10.5 sacks and 48 pressures last season.

i

74. Carolina Panthers​

Kiper's pick: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

More defense for Carolina. Williams is stout against the run but also shows the quickness and suddenness to penetrate the backfield. He had 21 run stops over the past two seasons, which is good news for a Panthers team that allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry in 2024.

i

75. San Francisco 49ers​

Yates' pick: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

Collins is a big presence in the middle of the defensive line at 6-foot-6 and 332 pounds, and he has 34⅝-inch arms. He'd fill another need for the 49ers, who released Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins.

i

76. Dallas Cowboys​

Kiper's pick: Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee

The Cowboys focused on other needs early, but they finally get their running back -- and Sampson has good upside. He ran for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns last season.

i

77. New England Patriots (via ATL)​

Yates' pick: Wyatt Milum, G, West Virginia

Toughness and dependability define Milum's game, which would appeal to the Patriots and new coach Mike Vrabel.

i

78. Arizona Cardinals​

Kiper's pick: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland

Felton could team up with Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and Michael Wilson to give Kyler Murray a pretty solid pass-catching group. Felton caught 96 passes last season for 1,124 yards and nine scores.

i

79. Houston Texans (via WSH/MIA/PHI)​

Yates' pick: Jared Wilson, C/G, Georgia

Let's keep rolling on the Texans' offensive line. Wilson is my top-ranked center, but he has the versatility to also play guard.

i

80. Indianapolis Colts​

Kiper's pick: Emery Jones Jr., G, LSU

Jones has been getting a little buzz. His game is raw, and he will kick inside in the pros after playing right tackle at LSU. But there's upside here.

i

81. Cincinnati Bengals​

Yates' pick: Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State

Yes, more defense! The Bengals can get pass-rush insurance in case Trey Hendrickson leaves -- or more pass-rush support for him if he sticks around. Sawyer is tough and powerful.

i

82. Seattle Seahawks​

Kiper's pick: Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State

Farmer is disruptive, and he'd give the Seahawks more depth on the inside. He had nine sacks over the past two seasons.

i

83. Las Vegas Raiders (via projected trade with PIT)​

Yates' pick: Shemar Turner, DL, Texas A&M

The Raiders land here after the projected trade down with the Steelers. They are seeking help on the defensive line, and Turner has some intriguing traits. His 2024 numbers weren't super impressive (two sacks), but he had six sacks and 31 pressures in 2023.

i

84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers​

Kiper's pick: Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State

Remember this name; Martin is a late riser in the process. He was limited to five games in 2024, but he had 135 tackles, 21 run stops and 6 sacks in 2023. He could be Lavonte David's eventual replacement.

i

85. Denver Broncos​

Yates' pick: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

Ayomanor would provide Denver with some solid 4.44 speed and good 6-foot-2 size at receiver. He could be developed for a Courtland Sutton-like role.


i

86. Los Angeles Chargers​

Kiper's pick: Rylie Mills, DT, Notre Dame

The Chargers gave up 4.7 yards per carry last season, 27th in the NFL. They could use more depth up the middle behind Teair Tart. Mills displays explosiveness and strong hands, which allow him to gain an immediate leverage advantage. He could probably play either 3-4 defensive end or 4-3 defensive tackle in the pros.
 

87. Green Bay Packers​

Yates' pick: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

Green Bay can continue to add to its pass-rush presence -- this time on the interior -- with Sanders, who had 8.5 sacks over the past two seasons.

i

88. Jacksonville Jaguars (via MIN)​

Kiper's pick: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

The Jaguars signed Jourdan Lewis in the slot, but there are still questions opposite Tyson Campbell on the outside. Over six college seasons, Riley had 15 interceptions and 39 pass breakups.

i

89. Houston Texans​

Yates' pick: Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska

The powerful and disruptive Robinson will help the Texans' trenches on defense. He broke out in 2024 with seven sacks and 15 tackles for loss.

i

90. Los Angeles Rams​

Kiper's pick: Will Howard, QB, Ohio State

The Rams should have one eye to the future at quarterback considering Matthew Stafford is 37. Howard could learn behind Stafford and potentially develop into a starter. He threw 35 touchdown passes last season, but he also ran for seven scores.


i

91. Baltimore Ravens​

Yates' pick: Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina

Knight makes plays on the ball, with three forced fumbles, two sacks and a pick in his one season at South Carolina (he transferred from Charlotte after a few years at Georgia Tech). I like him next to Roquan Smith.

i

92. Seattle Seahawks (via LV/DET/NYJ)​

Kiper's pick: Nohl Williams, CB, Cal

The Seahawks have Riq Woolen outside and Devon Witherspoon in the slot, but the other corner spot could use a boost (and if nothing else, more depth). With great instincts and press coverage traits, Williams led the nation with seven interceptions last season.

i

93. New Orleans Saints (via WSH)​

Yates' pick: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Remember that we matched Shedeur Sanders with the Saints in Round 1. Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave are both coming off injuries, so New Orleans would be smart to get reinforcements for their rookie passer. Harris runs great routes and averaged 17.2 yards per catch last season.

i

94. Cleveland Browns (via BUF)​

Kiper's pick: Ashton Gillotte, Edge, Louisville

The Browns are able to land a really good football player late on Day 2. Gillotte's sack count fell from 11 to 4.5 this season, but he still got 50 pressures. He could see action early opposite Myles Garrett.

i

95. Kansas City Chiefs​

Yates' pick: Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia

The Chiefs traded Joe Thuney this offseason. Fairchild is pro-ready and allowed only five pressures and zero sacks over his 35-game college career.

i

96. Philadelphia Eagles​

Kiper's pick: CJ West, DT, Indiana

Here's your Milton Williams replacement. West had double-digit run stops in each of his past four seasons and chipped in nine sacks over that time.

i

97. Minnesota Vikings*​

Yates' pick: Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma

Minnesota lost Camryn Bynum in free agency, and Harrison Smith is 36. But the team can add a football vacuum in Bowman late on Day 2. Bowman had 11 picks over the past three seasons.

i

98. Miami Dolphins*​

Kiper's pick: Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary

I really like watching Grant play. The former high school wrestler has great physicality and explosiveness. He could bounce inside and push Liam Eichenberg at guard, or he could be a backup plan at left tackle now that Patrick Paul has taken over for recently retired Terron Armstead.

i

99. New York Giants*​

Yates' pick: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee

The Giants already have an elite interior presence in Dexter Lawrence II, but they lack a lot of depth. And Norman-Lott could contribute early in the pass rush (9.5 sacks in the past two seasons).


i

100. San Francisco 49ers*​

Kiper's pick: Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky


Corners have flown off the board, but the 49ers still get a good one near the end of Round 3. Stout had six interceptions over the past three years, and he had 10 run stops last season, showing his diverse skill set.

i

101. Los Angeles Rams*​

Yates' pick: Kyle Kennard, Edge, South Carolina

Kennard plays with a great motor, and he's long and powerful. He had 11.5 sacks in 2024. Kennard could be yet another Day 2 value for the Rams.

i

102. Detroit Lions*​

Kiper's pick: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

I thought about Central Arkansas edge rusher David Walker because I really think he's going before Round 4. But after using their first-round pick on Mykel Williams, the Lions might opt to touch up the linebacker room with Carter. He could contribute in a lot of ways; Carter had 77 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 9 pass breakups last season.

39. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State​

Height: 5-10 | Weight: 202 | Grade: 85
Comp: James Cook

A blur with game-changing speed, Henderson gets it done as a runner and a receiver. He rushed for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024 while sharing backfield duties with Quinshon Judkins, then added 27 catches for 284 yards and a score as a receiver. Henderson lacks the inside running skills of an every-down back, but he's dangerous in space and would thrive in a system that uses him outside the tackles. He can be an awesome complementary back to a power runner, thanks to his outside vision and speed.

i

40. Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State​

Height: 5-10 | Weight: 194 | Grade: 85
Comp: Khalil Shakir

Noel burst onto the scene against Iowa in Week 2 last season, when he caught five passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. He finished strong, with 117 yards on eight catches in the Cyclones' bowl game victory over Miami, then had a great Senior Bowl week. Noel has quick feet and great lower-body strength, and he's impossible to knock off his routes. He's an ideal WR3 in the NFL, with yards-after-catch ability and a penchant for chunk plays. Noel's strong pre-draft performance, capped by a 4.39 40 at the combine, has shot him up my board.

i

41. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 214 | Grade: 85
Comp: Nico Collins

Teams looking for a true X receiver in this draft will love Higgins' profile. At 6-foot-4, he has the height, length and strength to run through coverage and tacklers along with being a power forward when the ball is in the air. He's great at boxing out coverage and winning on slant routes. Even though he ran a 4.47 in the 40 at the combine, Higgins' tape does show some struggles separating from deep coverage. But he could be a Michael Thomas-like receiver in the NFL.


i

42. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 204 | Grade: 85
Comp: Jessie Bates III

It's hard to find a player more productive at his position in the 2025 class than Watts. The 2023 Bronko Nagurski winner had 12 interceptions in his last two college seasons and only allowed nine receptions in his coverage in 2024 with no touchdowns against. Watts doesn't have amazing size or speed, but his instincts and agility are ideal for a starting free safety in the NFL.

i

43. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky​

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 183 | Grade: 84
Comp: Dax Hill

Hairston's combine-best 4.28-second 40 put an emphatic stamp on his rising stock following a great Senior Bowl week. The feisty cover man missed five games with injury last season, but look at his 2023 tape and you'll see five interceptions and six pass breakups to go along with 68 tackles. He's an ideal slot cornerback with man-coverage toughness.

i

44. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa​

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 224 | Grade: 84
Comp: DeMarco Murray

Johnson made the most of his first full season as a starter in 2024, with 1,537 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns. The powerful downhill runner keeps defenders guessing with good short-area agility and a devastating stiff-arm. He added 936 yards after first contact last season -- seventh most in the FBS -- and enters the NFL with limited wear-and-tear after only 240 carries in 2024 and 508 in his college career.

i

45. Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 225 | Grade: 84
Comp: Terrel Bernard

A former walk-on, Schwesinger developed into a three-down difference-maker for the Bruins. He posted 136 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in 2024, and he picked off two passes while earning second-team All-America honors and being named a Butkus Award finalist. His range and instincts are tailor-made for a middle linebacker at the next level, even if he's a touch undersized.

i

46. Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 193 | Grade: 84
Comp: Carlton Davis III

Morrison played six games in 2024 before a hip labrum injury ended his season. He was highly productive in the previous two seasons (nine interceptions), and he has the prototypical size, length and speed to play corner in man or zone schemes. There are valid injury concerns, but Morrison's tape is terrific. Don't be surprised if he sneaks into the back end of Round 1.

i

47. Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 197 | Grade: 83
Comp: Charvarius Ward

Thomas was just outside the top 50 after last season concluded, but a big Senior Bowl week sent me back to the tape. I wanted to confirm that the closing speed and playmaking ability I saw in Mobile were legit, and they were. Thomas is an ideal press-man cornerback with the length (32⅜-inch arms) and speed to stick with receivers down the field. Questions about his lower-body power were answered at the Senior Bowl, putting him into fringe first-round territory.

i

48. Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 264 | Grade: 83
Comp: AJ Epenesa

Jackson has the ideal length/strength/quickness combination that scouts look for at defensive end. He had a quiet stat line last season with only 6.5 sacks and 31 pressures, but he's consistently a disruptive presence on the edge. And while smaller pass rushers might have better sack numbers, Jackson is the best DE in this class against the run. His frame also helps him be scheme-versatile. Teams running a three-man front could play him over the tackle, and those with four-man fronts could put him on their outside shoulder.

i

49. Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 334 | Grade: 80
Comp: B.J. Hill

Williams is a grinder who can play anywhere along the inside of the defensive line, from nose tackle to 3-technique. He doesn't have great height or length, but his quickness in the middle jumps out on tape. Williams doesn't lose reps and is an anchor in the run game, which allows his teammates to make plays around him.

i

50. Alfred Collins, DT, Texas​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 332 | Grade: 80
Comp: Javon Kinlaw

Scouts rave about Collins' ability to hold his ground in the middle of the defensive line. He won't wow with first-step explosiveness or with an arsenal of pass-rush moves, but his ability to anchor with length and power in the run game is his best asset. Collins started only one season at Texas, giving reason to believe his best football is ahead of him with more reps and time to develop his tools.

Those top 50 comps are definitely more favorable. Some of them I find to be quite rich on Matt Millers part.
 
Jordan Reids final big board post combine:

1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado​

Height: 6-foot | Weight: 188 | Grade: Round 1

Hunter's combination of natural instincts, ball skills and positional flexibility is why he ended as the top player on my board. He had 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a receiver, but was arguably better at cornerback, where he tied for second in the Big 12 with four interceptions. His ability to play both ways has elicited comparisons to Hall of Famers Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson, and there are legitimate questions about where he'll play in the NFL.



i

2. Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 250 | Grade: Round 1

Carter started slowly in his first season fully transitioning from off-ball linebacker to the edge, but he eventually showed why he's capable of being a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 defensive end in the NFL. A two-sack performance against Illinois in Week 4 really got him going, and Carter finished last season with 12 sacks and an 18.5% pressure rate, the third highest in the FBS. He is an explosive and rangy player off the edge who should make an immediate NFL impact.

i

3. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 296 | Grade: Round 1

Graham was a mainstay of the Wolverines' defense since becoming a starter early in his freshman season. His hand speed, strength and ability to disengage from blocks project him as an immediate NFL starter. Graham is a stout run defender who can maintain gaps and create penetration at the first level. He is also disruptive as a pass rusher, and his 19 pressures in 2024 tied for 21st in the FBS at defensive tackle. He weighed 296 pounds at the combine, which raised eyebrows, but it's hard to find a flaw in Graham's game

i

4. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State​

Height: 5-9 | Weight: 211 | Grade: Round 1

Running backs aren't usually ranked this high, but Jeanty is a special case. He finished 2024 with more yards after contact (1,733) than the No. 2 running back in the nation -- North Carolina's Omarion Hampton -- had total (1,660). Jeanty finished last season with 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns. He is also a capable receiver out of the backfield (43 passes for 569 yards and five TDs in 2023), and his vision and contact balance make him a top player in the upcoming draft.

i

5. Armand Membou, OT/G, Missouri​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 332 | Grade: Round 1

Membou was one of the most impressive prospects I scouted last fall. He limited a potent South Carolina front when I saw him live and gave up only one sack last season. He's not flashy, winning with strength and a physical demeanor while keeping his frame square with blockers. Membou continues to rise in the predraft process and has climbed to the top of the offensive tackle rankings. Multiple scouts I talked to thought that he could be better suited at guard, but his 34-inch arms have people in the NFL believing he can be a right or left tackle.

i

6. Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia​

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 243 | Grade: Round 1

Walker was Georgia's most consistent defender in 2024 and shot up draft boards. He alternates between edge and off-ball linebacker, allowing coaches to use his versatility. Walker is a physical player whose 17.1% pressure rate was fifth highest in the FBS. He had 6.5 sacks last season, highlighted by a three-sack performance against Texas on Oct. 19. He's a bit of a tweener, so Walker will need a playcaller who can mix and match his alignments. Walker sat out Georgia's pro day because of a hamstring injury, but he's expected to host a private workout for NFL teams on Thursday.

i

7. Will Campbell, G, LSU​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 319 | Grade: Round 1

Campbell started at offensive tackle upon arriving at LSU in 2022. He excels in run blocking, using his superb hand strength to overwhelm and reposition defenders while clearing lanes on the first level. His pass blocking is more robotic, but Campbell's poise and polished technique allow him to regularly win reps against pass rushers. Arm length is the biggest question about Campbell, as his 32⅝-inch arms fall under the 33-inch threshold for NFL tackles. That's why some scouts project him as a guard. He'd be a fine professional tackle but has the potential to be an A-level interior starter.

i

8. Cam Ward, QB, Miami​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 219 | Grade: Round 1

Ward led the Hurricanes to their first 10-win season since 2017 thanks to 4,313 passing yards, 39 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He is an electric playmaker with a shortstop-like throwing motion that allows him to rip it to all areas of the field. He sometimes has too much faith in his arm and can have head-scratching, near-turnover plays, similar to how Jordan Love was at Utah State. Ward will need to establish more comfort in accepting good, routine plays rather than chasing the risky, great ones. He can be a high-level starter with the right playcaller and should be the first QB off the board.

i

9. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 194 | Grade: Round 1

Johnson has the prototypical build of a top NFL corner plus the fluidity necessary to comfortably play a variety of coverages. He's rarely sped up by opponents, as his calculated backpedal and natural transition skills allow him to keep pace in man coverage. Johnson also has top-notch ball skills, as shown by his nine career interceptions and three pick-sixes. He played only six games in 2024 because of a toe injury but returned two interceptions for TDs. He did not participate in workouts at the combine or work out at Michigan's pro day.


i

10. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 256 | Grade: Round 1

Warren rose to the top of a good tight end class after a huge 2024 season. First-year Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki unlocked Warren's production and he finished with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. He can attack and find holes in zone coverage and can win against contested man coverage, which he showed during a 17-catch, 224-yard performance against USC. Warren also adds value as a flexed-out or inline run blocker and can contribute immediately in the NFL.

i

11. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 235 | Grade: Round 1

Campbell broke out as a junior in 2024, with 102 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and 5 sacks, making him one of the biggest risers in this class. He is rangy at the second level and has the versatility to rush the passer, as his 17.2% pressure rate was second best among FBS linebackers. He is also comfortable covering running backs and tight ends in man coverage while staying aware when dropping in zone. Campbell's tackling needs work (he missed eight last season), especially with wrapping up and finishing. He projects as a weakside linebacker who can be used as a situational pass rusher.

i

12. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 296 | Grade: Round 1

I'm higher on Nolen than most, as he thrived in his only season at Ole Miss after transferring from Texas A&M. He is an explosive 3-technique with finishing ability, helping him to a career-high 6.5 sacks last season. His get-off is consistent, allowing him to easily penetrate the first level and disrupt the timing of opposing offenses. He also maintains gap control at the point of attack. Is Nolen finally realizing the potential that made him a No. 1 overall recruit, or was this a one-year bump? Every source I have spoken to about Nolen has told me that interviews and interactions with him have gone very well.

i

13. Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 260 | Grade: Round 1

Williams was my top overall player entering the 2024 season but dropped after an ankle injury sustained in the opener caused him to sit out two games and slowed him until midseason. His frame is ideal for playing the edge, but Williams is not an instinctive pass rusher, instead relying on length and manufactured pressure to win rushes. That length makes him an NFL-ready run defender, though, as it's difficult for blockers to get into his frame. Williams is a long-term developmental player as a pass rusher, but he's only 20 and similar to Danielle Hunter as a prospect.

i

14. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 219 | Grade: Round 1

McMillan is a big-bodied receiver who snatches the ball out of the air and makes tough catches outside of his frame. But he is also versatile enough to play in the slot and on the outside. That helped him to 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and his 109.9 yards per game ranked fifth in the FBS. McMillan has average speed and won't separate from defenders but excels in contested-catch situations in which he can high point the ball or box out defenders. He's a similar prospect to Drake London, who was selected No. 8 overall in 2022.

i

15. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 317 | Grade: Round 1

Simmons was on his way to challenging for OT1 status before sustaining a season-ending left knee injury against Oregon on Oct. 12. He confirmed at the combine that it was a torn patellar tendon. Before the injury, he hadn't given up a sack or pressure in six games, which included a matchup against Marshall edge rusher Mike Green. Simmons showed growth at left tackle after some bumps in 2023 following a transfer from San Diego State. There continues to be mixed opinions about Simmons' long-term outlook, but he is one of the few true left tackles in the 2025 class.
 

16. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 248 | Grade: Round 1

Loveland finished last season with 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns despite Michigan's lackluster quarterback play. He can play as an in-line or flexed-out tight end and shows excellent range as a pass catcher; he can grab passes well outside the strike zone. He doesn't provide much as a run blocker or have the strength to latch and sustain at the point of attack, but the mismatches he presents in the passing game make him a top prospect.

i

17. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia​

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 197 | Grade: Round 1

Starks' versatility is what stands out most, as he can play in coverage and serve in run support at a high level at either safety spot. He's a savvy third-level defender who isn't afraid to take chances and trusts his excellent instincts when reading routes. Starks didn't make as many flashy plays in 2024 as he has in the past because he had to shoulder a bigger workload due to Georgia's inconsistent and inexperienced cornerbacks.

i

18. Mike Green, Edge, Marshall​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 251 | Grade: Round 1

Green was one of the biggest risers during the back half of the 2024 season heading into the Senior Bowl. He led the FBS with 17.0 sacks, was fifth in pressures off the edge (48) and ranked ninth in pressure rate (16.5%). Green is a relentless pressure generator who has the high-end suddenness to drop into coverage. His twitch and bend were major takeaways from the Senior Bowl. He must become stronger (though he has shown flashes) and work on hand placement along with setting the edge consistently as a run defender.

i

19. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 212 | Grade: Round 1

Sanders is the most polished passer in the 2025 class. He had 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions in 2024 and displayed excellent ball placement and poise, finishing with an FBS-high 74% completion percentage. His 6.5% off-target percentage was the third lowest in the FBS, allowing his receivers to gain yards after the catch.

Sanders needs to improve in playing on time and getting the ball out quicker, as his 2.96 seconds to throw ranked 110th in the FBS. He was also sacked 42 times, the second straight season in which he was the nation's most-sacked quarterback. Sanders is not super mobile, but his accuracy and steadiness under pressure make him a first-rounder.

i

20. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 315 | Grade: Round 1

Banks arguably has the best physical traits in the 2025 tackle class, as his light feet and movement ability have made him a starter since he was a freshman. Those attributes allow him to mirror and match defenders in pass protection, but he can also bury his opponent while run blocking. Banks relies heavily on his traits, which can get him off-balance, causing him to lunge and end up on the ground more than he should. He is in line to become the first Texas offensive lineman to go in Round 1 since 2002.

i

21. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State​

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 205 | Grade: Round 1

Egbuka returned to form after an injury-riddled 2023 and is the embodiment of the "just draft good football players" mindset. He has sure hands, can play from the outside or in the slot and is a crafty route runner who knows how to get open with creative route stems and body movements. He's great at using leverage to gain separation and is extremely consistent. Egbuka's lack of true vertical burst limits his upside, but he projects as an instant-impact starter and a complementary option, like former Ohio State teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Egbuka has a lot of translatable traits that make him one of the safest players in this draft.

i

22. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 221 | Grade: Round 1

Ashton Jeanty's historic season overshadowed a stellar 2024 campaign by Hampton, who rushed for 1,660 yards and 16 touchdowns. He was extremely consistent, gaining more than 100 yards in 10 games. Hampton is hard to bring down and was third in the FBS in yards after first contact (1,026) and sixth in forced missed tackles (70). He runs with a north-south style and creates explosive plays, though he's not shifty in tight spaces. He is similar to David Montgomery and is best suited in a pairing with a dynamic rusher who is a receiving threat.

i

23. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas​

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 191 | Grade: Round 1


Golden became Texas' go-to target after transferring from Houston, finishing last season with 58 receptions for 987 yards and nine touchdowns. He was especially key late, going for 162 yards in the SEC title game, then adding 149 yards and the tying touchdown in the Longhorns' CFP quarterfinal win over Arizona State. Golden is a sudden and diverse route runner who keeps defenders guessing with various tempos in his routes. His 4.29-second 40 at the combine surprised a lot of evaluators, as Golden doesn't quite play that fast on tape, but there are scouts who believe he could be the first WR off the board.

i

24. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas​

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 194 | Grade: Round 2

Barron is a versatile defensive back who played star and nickel before transitioning to outside corner last season. Quarterbacks mostly stayed away from him in 2024, and he allowed a 12.1 QBR on throws in which he was the primary defender, which ranked 22nd in the FBS. When QBs tested him, it didn't go well for them; Barron picked off five passes. He is also a scrappy run defender who's willing to get dirty. He's capable of playing several positions in the NFL but projects best as a nickel corner.

i

25. Grey Zabel, C, North Dakota State​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 312 | Grade: Round 2

Zabel is the next member of the North Dakota State offensive line pipeline headed to the NFL. I thought he was the best performer at the Senior Bowl regardless of position, showcasing his physicality and strong anchor. He is an aggressive blocker who has plenty of strength in his upper and lower body. He mostly played guard in college, though he started 16 games at left tackle in 2024. Zabel is projected as a center even though he didn't play it with the Bison, and his strength, awareness and balance project best inside as a Day 1 starter.

i

26. Tyler Booker, G, Alabama​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 321 | Grade: Round 2

Booker leads a down interior offensive line class, as he's a guard-only prospect. He dominates in the run game by paving interior run lanes. He's also steady in pass protection, as his active feet allow him to stay in front of rushers. He's one of the most consistent linemen in this draft -- he didn't allow a pressure while playing guard last season. His NFL-ready strength makes him an instant contender to start at either guard spot.

i

27. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 313 | Grade: Round 2

Harmon wreaked havoc inside for the Ducks. He lost 10 pounds after arriving at Oregon as a transfer, which allowed him to be explosive as an interior rusher. His 34 pressures from his defensive tackle spot in 2024 led the FBS, and his 10.7% pressure rate from inside ranked second among players at the position. Harmon sometimes plays out of control and overruns plays, but more body command and better finishing would have him near the top of a deep defensive tackle class.

i

28. Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 267 | Grade: Round 2

Stewart had only 4.5 sacks in three seasons, but his time to first pressure last season (2.43 seconds) was No. 1 in the FBS. He is a toolsy prospect who has rushed off the edge and inside and could be a better pro than college player. Stewart's tools popped plenty at the Senior Bowl, as his power and explosiveness were too much for blockers. That continued at the combine, as he ran a 4.59-second 40-yard dash and jumped 40 inches in the vertical leap, backing up the quickness seen on his tape. He'll need to go to a patient team that can develop his finishing production, but Stewart's traits and hand maturity will get him on the field early.

i

29. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 331 | Grade: Round 2

Grant showed some of the best flashes of any defensive tackle in the 2025 class. After only six games of 30 or more snaps in 2023, he played at least 40 snaps in 10 games last season. His size allows him to clog inside gaps, and Grant can push the pocket and condense the throwing area. His average time to first pressure (2.81 seconds) ranked 43rd among FBS defensive linemen. He needs to be more consistent as an early-down run defender and must improve his pad level, but Grant has the effort and motor that NFL teams desire.

i

30. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 206 | Grade: Round 2

Burden was moved around Missouri's offense in his three seasons, which were highlighted by his 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns as a sophomore in 2023. His production dropped in 2024 (61 receptions, 676 yards, 6 touchdowns) due to inconsistent quarterback play, but Burden is a dynamic and competitive wideout who forced an FBS-leading 59 missed tackles on catches over the past two seasons. Burden needs more consistency with his route tree, but his potential as a catch-and-run threat projects him as a high-end WR2 who can complement an established WR1.
 

31. Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 248 | Grade: Round 2

Ezeiruaku broke out as a senior in 2024, finishing second in the FBS with 16.5 sacks. He's a loose and bendy rusher whose 16.5% pressure rate was the fifth-highest rate in the country. With a full arsenal of moves, he's able to keep blockers guessing while having the ability to race past them. He recorded an FBS-high 62 pressures, and Ezeiruaku's two forced fumbles on sacks are evidence of his ability to finish and create turnovers.

i

32. Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 315 | Grade: Round 2

Jackson played guard for the first six games of the 2024 season before switching to left tackle after Josh Simmons' season-ending knee injury. Jackson allowed only two sacks (both to Abdul Carter) in 10 games at tackle as the Buckeyes won the national title. His versatility and consistency have raised questions about where Jackson fits best in the NFL. His strong hands and efficient feet project best in a zone scheme where his lower-half movement skills can be used.

i

33. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 220 | Grade: Round 2

Emmanwori is a rugged, physical strong safety who is savvy in coverage and has good ball instincts, which have resulted in six interceptions over the past two seasons. He also has the frame and physicality to be an asset in run defense. Emmanwori was receiving praise entering the combine and backed that up with a 4.38-second 40, 43-inch vertical and 11-foot-6 broad jump. Scouts continue to be enamored with his potential because of his jack-of-all-trades skill set, though he'll need to be paired with a creative defensive coordinator.

i

34. Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 194 | Grade: Round 2

Revel created buzz with scouts entering the 2024 season and backed that up with two interceptions in his first three games, including a pick-six on Sept. 14 against Appalachian State. He sustained a torn ACL in that game and sat out the rest of the season, but Revel showed impressive instincts. His size allows him to be a big press-man corner, but he also displays eye discipline in space while playing zone. He's a high-end risk taker and can be grabby on the top of route stems, which will need to be coached out of him.

i

35. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State​

Height: 5-10 | Weight: 202 | Grade: Round 2

Henderson was able to recapture his early-career form in 2024, finishing with 1,016 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. He is a well-rounded rusher who can also be an asset in the passing game. He had 27 receptions for 284 yards and a score last season. Henderson's vision, speed and ability to contribute to the pass game make him a candidate to be the second RB off the board after Ashton Jeanty.

i

36. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 311 | Grade: Round 2

Conerly helped himself tremendously in 2024, ranking 19th in the FBS with a 1.5% pressure rate allowed at tackle and ceding only six pressures. He plays with good bend and has B-level range in pass sets, and his initial strike allows him to be the aggressor in pass protection. He's also capable of repositioning his hands against quick rushers, though his hand placement is inconsistent and his play strength needs to be developed. Conerly needs to add bulk to his frame, but he projects as an immediate NFL starter at either tackle spot.

i

37. James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 245 | Grade: Round 2

Pearce has A-level acceleration and closing speed when rushing the passer, helping him to a 19.0% pressure rate (second best in FBS) and 7.5 sacks last season. His speed, coupled with a dynamic first step, allows him to race past blockers and causes them to abandon their technique. Pearce can stand up or put his hand in the dirt, though there are questions about his scheme fit. He is a bit inconsistent as a run defender and needs to add weight, so he'll probably start his NFL career as a situational rusher.

i

38. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky​

Height: 5-11 | Weight: 183 | Grade: Round 2

Hairston is a strong contender to be a late first-round pick after a standout combine performance. His blazing 4.28 40 -- the best time of any player in Indianapolis -- caught the eye of many scouts, but it was his smooth movement skills during on-field drills that had evaluators buzzing. Prior to the combine, one NFC area scout told me he was "shocked more people aren't talking about him in this corner class." Hairston projects best as a man coverage corner but is also tough in run support. He had an interception and five pass breakups in 2024 despite dealing with a nagging shoulder injury.

i

39. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 251 | Grade: Round 2

The son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, Mason is LSU's all-time leader in receptions (129) and receiving yards (1,308) for tight ends. Even with that, one could argue that Taylor has been underutilized. He has a great feel for finding holes and settling into zones. He is a big target on deep overs and crossing routes, and his run-after-catch ability makes him better suited as a flexed-out tight end, though he is capable of occasionally playing in-line.

i

40. Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss​

Height: 6-1 | Weight: 195 | Grade: Round 2

Amos has top-level ball skills, finishing with 15 pass breakups last season, the second most in the FBS. When exiting phase, Amos is excellent at switching his eyes from the receiver to finding the ball in the air. He is a reliable cover man who can play a variety of coverages. The biggest question that Amos had to answer entering the combine was his long speed. Running a 4.43 40 helped catapult him into being a potential late Round 1 or early Round 2 selection.

i

41. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami​

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 250 | Grade: Round 2

Arroyo was a big-play threat during the 2024 season, hauling in 35 passes for 590 yards and seven touchdowns, but he is also a willing run blocker. He doesn't displace defenders but will initiate contact and use his feet to stay engaged in single blocks. Injuries were an issue before last season, limiting him to five games combined in 2022 and 2023, but Arroyo is a high-upside receiving prospect.

i

42. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 219 | Grade: Round 2

Judkins transferred to Ohio State from Ole Miss and became part of the nation's best one-two running back punch alongside TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins finished last season with 1,060 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. He is a high-energy, aggressive runner who brings power running between the tackles. His 4.48 40 time at the combine was a pleasant surprise and could elevate him to No. 3 on the running back board.

i

43. Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota​

Height: 6-6 | Weight: 331 | Grade: Round 2

Ersery's basketball background has helped give him quick feet, which -- combined with his excellent arm length -- makes it difficult for edge rushers to cleanly get around him. He also shows physicality and tenacity as a run blocker. Ersery has average reactive quickness and tends to lunge into blocks, which was the main source of the eight pressures he gave up last season. He needs to play with a wider base and maintain his technique. He fits best with teams that employ gap-run schemes.

i

44. Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 305 | Grade: Round 2

Alexander is a scheme-versatile interior defender with a diverse skill set. His overwhelming length and power were too much for Toledo's opponents, making Alexander one of the best non-Power 4 prospects in the 2025 class. He is capable of playing all four spots up front, and even though he didn't produce eye-popping stats (nine sacks in five seasons), he was a consistent pressure generator. Alexander projects best as a 3-technique in the NFL and showcased those traits during a standout Senior Bowl week.

i

45. Jonah Savaiinaea, G, Arizona​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 324 | Grade: Round 2

Savaiinaea plays both guard and tackle and served as the anchor of the right side of the Wildcats' front. He's a powerful blocker with strength in his lower half and hands. He was as solid as any tackle in the country, giving up only six pressures and no sacks last season. He has the traits to stay at tackle, but I think his power and strength are more of an asset on the interior.
 

46. T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina​

Height: 6-4 | Weight: 297 | Grade: Round 2

Sanders did a lot of the dirty work for a loaded South Carolina defensive front, showing effectiveness in one-on-one matchups thanks to his quick hands and lateral agility. He plays with good leverage and gets off the ball quickly to generate pressure, and his 2.40-second average time to first pressure last season was the best among all defensive linemen in the FBS. His 7.2% pressure rate from his defensive tackle spot also ranked in the top 30. Sanders must continue to fill out his frame and become more consistent against double-teams as a run defender.

i

47. Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 225 | Grade: Round 2

Schwesinger broke out in 2024, finishing with 136 tackles, 4 sacks and 2 interceptions after spending his first two college seasons as a special teams ace. His instincts and speed direct him to ball locations and make him a versatile second-level option, as he's fluid in coverage and solid against the run. Schwesinger is most frequently mentioned as a second-round pick by scouts.

i

48. Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State​

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 197 | Grade: Round 2

Thomas was a lockdown defender and one of Florida State's few bright spots in 2024, allowing only 12 completions and 94 receiving yards in his coverage over 12 games. He is a true press-man corner whose fluidity, technique and ability to adjust his body in coverage are among the best in the 2025 class. He needs to improve his hand timing in route stems and can be a bit grabby, but his raw tools plus youth (Thomas doesn't turn 21 until July) could eventually make him a high-end NFL starter.


i

49. Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame​

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 193 | Grade: Round 2

Morrison is a technician, as his excellent hand timing and ability to turn and run with receivers make him one of the best press corners in the class. He has elite ball production, with nine career interceptions, and rarely has trouble with sudden route runners. Morrison gets himself in trouble by pulling and grabbing receivers who are changing directions. He also needs to add bulk and has a concerning injury history, undergoing shoulder surgery last March and sustaining a hip injury in October.

i

50. Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M​

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 257 | Grade: Round 2

Scourton had 15 sacks the past two seasons thanks to his variety of pass-rush moves. His sturdy frame allows him to overpower tackles, but he can change the pace, most notably with a creative spin move. His frame allows him to rush from the interior and create mismatches against guards. His combine weight of 257 pounds was lighter than expected (Scourton was listed at 285 during the season), but many scouts were happy to see him below 260 pounds, which is what he weighed at Purdue in 2022 and 2023. Scourton has average flexibility and lower-body suddenness, but his considerable youth (he won't turn 21 until August) gives him upside and room for further development.

Really good detailed piece today on each teams draft needs and ideal scenario…informative so we can get a feel on what other teams are planning.. @JamesWsenior sorry it would’ve been 20 pages cause it’s so many words so I had to do it this way …long read but a must read imo to get a sense of how the draft will play out and our potential trade down targets.
