* Denotes Underclassmen
QB,
Indiana 
HT: 6050 | WT: 225 |
StatsThe Raiders select the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner who led Indiana to a National Championship showing all the poise, accuracy, and leadership qualities the team has lacked since Derek Carr left.
LB,
Ohio State 
HT: 6040 | WT: 243 |
StatsThe Jets' defense needs a playmaker and they take versatile off-the ball linebacker Reese who they can use in multiple roles including playing on the edge rushing the passer.
S,
Ohio State HT: 6000 | WT: 205 |
StatsThe Cardinals' defense fell off dramatically as the season progressed. With the need for a playmaker, they take a versatile do-it-all safety who can make an immediate impact.
DE,
Miami 
HT: 6030 | WT: 270 |
StatsThe Titans, who need upgrades throughout the roster, take the best defensive player available.
OT,
Miami HT: 6060 | WT: 335
The Giants have holes on the right side of the offensive line with starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and right guard Greg Van Roten both free agents. Mauigoa could be a factor at either spot and will upgrade the offensive line.
WR,
Ohio State HT: 6030 | WT: 195 |
StatsOhio State has turned into a wide receiver factory and Tate is next in line. He has a clean and consistent scorecard for the position with elite ball skills including zero drops.
OLB,
Texas Tech 
HT: 6030 | WT: 250 |
StatsBailey has climbed up the charts as a highly productive pass rusher and improving run defender. He should be able to upgrade a Commanders' defense that finished last in yards allowed.
RB,
Notre Dame 
HT: 6000 | WT: 214 |
Stats30+ year-old Alvin Kamara is averaging under four yards per carry over the last five seasons. Love is a complete back who is ten years younger and capable of being an explosive weapon right away
CB,
LSU 
HT: 6000 | WT: 190 |
StatsWith the trade of Trent McDuffie, the Chiefs find themselves needing a corner. Delane can step in as an immediate starter with shutdown capabilities.
DE,
Miami HT: 6030 | WT: 265 |
StatsFinishing at or near the bottom in several defensive categories, the Bengals need help all over the defense and Mesidor is a good start to upgrade a pass rush that may lose Trey Hendrickson and Joseph Ossai to free agency.
WR,
USC 
HT: 5110 | WT: 195 |
StatsWith the release of Tyreek Hill and impending losses in free agency, the Dolphins' receiver room is notably missing playmaking skill other than Jaylen Waddle. Lemon has the run after catch skill set that can make an instant impact.
LB,
Ohio State HT: 6050 | WT: 243 |
StatsThe Cowboys have multiple needs on defense and will have their third defensive coordinator in three years in Christian Parker. Their acute need at inside linebacker is answered with Styles who should make an impact replacing free agent Kenneth Murray Jr.
WR,
Arizona State 
HT: 6020 | WT: 200 |
StatsThe Rams have enough firepower to score points with anyone, but Tyson gives them more options with 11 personnel and a future replacement for Davante Adams, who has not played a full season since 2023 and is entering his age-34 season.
OG,
Penn State 
HT: 6040 | WT: 328
The Raiders had one of the worst offensive lines in football a year ago and with a new rookie quarterback already in the building, getting him ample protection is priority number one.
TE,
Oregon 
HT: 6030 | WT: 245 |
StatsSadiq is one of the best playmakers in this draft class. He falls right into the laps of the Bucs who are looking to re-load their passing game and stand to lose tight end Cade Otton in free agency.
OT,
Utah 
HT: 6060 | WT: 308
The Jets traded their two best players away last season with an eye on the future. Building a young and dominant offensive line is never a bad idea and Fano is one with inside-out versatility.
DE,
Auburn 
HT: 6060 | WT: 285 |
StatsFaulk is a tough edge defender who is stout against the run and a developing pass rusher. He fits the mold of the player the Lions want in the defensive line room. The need is strong with the impending loss of Marcus Davenport and backup Al-Quadin Muhammad.
S,
Oregon HT: 6000 | WT: 205 |
StatsBrian Flores likes to use multiple safeties in the Vikings' scheme and Thieneman has the range and instincts to make an impact in several packages.
ILB,
Georgia 
HT: 6010 | WT: 235 |
StatsWith several players in the linebacker room set to become free agents, Allen is the every-down linebacker the Panthers select.
CB,
Tennessee 
HT: 6000 | WT: 193 |
StatsMcCoy is coming off a season he did not play while recovering from a knee injury. He falls to the Cowboys who address another of their multiple needs on defense.
QB,
Alabama 
HT: 6020 | WT: 208 |
StatsEven if Aaron Rodgers returns, the Steelers need the future at quarterback and Simpson has the toolset to develop into a solid NFL starter.
OT,
Alabama HT: 6070 | WT: 366
The Chargers are set at both tackles but take the best offensive lineman available who has the ability to play guard and provide depth at tackle. Poor interior play and injuries at tackle derailed a promising season in the end. Proctor provides a rare combination of size and power creating long-term upside.
WR,
Washington 
HT: 6040 | WT: 210 |
StatsThe Eagles are looking to re-tool their passing game and over 77% of Boston's catches over the last two years have gone for a first down or touchdown. A dependable weapon at receiver is an absolute must.
OT,
Utah HT: 6060 | WT: 308
With nearly all of their starters heading toward free agency, Lomu gives them a left tackle for the future to pair with newly acquired Tytus Howard to give them security on the outside.
CB,
Clemson 
HT: 5110 | WT: 180 |
StatsThe Bears stand to lose some key members of the cornerback room in free agency. Terrell has the cover skill that is a fit in Dennis Allen's defense.
OG,
Oregon HT: 6050 | WT: 318
With free agency set to thin out the Bills' interior offensive line, they take a big physical guard to upgrade the running game and protect Josh Allen.
WR,
Texas A&M 
HT: 5110 | WT: 190 |
StatsAn offense that is heavily reliant on their receivers making things happen after the catch will have their eyes set on Concepcion, one of the most creative and versatile playmakers in the class.
OT,
Georgia HT: 6070 | WT: 315
Freeling came on this year and showed signs of dominance as the season progressed. He has excellent tackle traits and should help a Texans' offensive line do a more consistent job of protecting CJ Stroud.
WR,
Indiana HT: 6000 | WT: 204 |
StatsThe receiver room is shaky at best, and one thing they don't have is a guy who can create after the catch. Cooper's skill set lines up well with a passing game that understands how to get the ball out quick.
LB,
Cincinnati 
HT: 6040 | WT: 240 |
StatsGolday came on this season in only his second year playing off the ball. He’s a versatile three down prospect with incredible chase ability reaching 22 mph at times. He gives the Broncos an upgrade and protection for potential losses in free agency.
DE,
Clemson HT: 6030 | WT: 260 |
StatsParker didn't have his best season, but he was outstanding in 2024 and still has upside to be the type of player Mike Vrabel loves on the edge. The need is definitely there.
CB,
Tennessee HT: 6000 | WT: 195 |
StatsThe Seahawks could lose some key defensive backs in free agency but will have some solid corners to choose from. Hood has demonstrated skill in all aspects of corner play, including various zone and man concepts which is a good fit for the Seahawks.
