Latham, Troy Fautanu) Edge Defenders : 4 (Dallas Turner, Jared Verse, Laiatu Latu, Chop Robinson) Cornerbacks : 6 (Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Nate Wiggins, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Terrion Arnold, Mike Sainristil) Interior Defensive Linemen : 1 (Byron Murphy II) Summary: The top rankings are dominated by offensive players, particularly quarterbacks, and wide receivers, emphasizing their high perceived value in the NFL draft. Notable movements include Caleb Williams' ascent to the top position, affirming his elite potential and projected impact. Drake Maye's drop out of the top 10 to the 22nd position is due to a reassessment of his 2023 film vs. his 2022 film and his lack of year-over-year improvement. He is still considered a high-upside talent. Malik Nabers' rise into the top 5 highlights a major positive revision in evaluations, driven by reassessing his film and a strong pre-draft process.

2026 NFL Draft Offensive Line Rankings: Spencer Fano, Francis Mauigoa Headline Deep Class The 2026 NFL Draft offensive line rankings highlight one of the deeper trench classes in recent cycles, particularly at offensive tackle. While there isn’t a unanimous top-five, generational lock at the very top, league evaluators consistently view this as a strong, dependable group with legitimate starter value across the first three rounds. At tackle, Utah’s Spencer Fano and Miami’s Francis Mauigoa set the tone for a position widely regarded as the strength of the class, with Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor and Georgia’s Monroe Freeling firmly in the mix behind them. The depth is notable, with multiple prospects carrying late Round 1 to early Round 2 grades and plug-and-play traits. Inside, the 2026 IOL group is built on power, versatility, and functional readiness. Penn State’s Olaivavega Ioane anchors a class filled with physical run blockers and multi-scheme fits capable of contributing early. This offensive line class may not feature a clear-cut franchise cornerstone, but it offers quality starters and long-term stability for teams investing in the trenches. Go to other positional grades: QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | IDL | Edge | LB | CB | SAF 2026 NFL Draft Offensive Line Rankings 1). Spencer Fano (OT), 6’5”, 304 lbs, Utah Grade Tier: Near Elite NFL Projection: Mid-to-Late 1st Round Analysis: One of the cleanest and highest-floor tackle prospects in the class. Fano combines polished technique, run-game dominance, and NFL-level movement skills. He fires off the ball with urgency, climbs efficiently to the second level, and sustains blocks with consistent leverage control. In pass protection, his footwork and balance project to either tackle spot, with the athletic profile to kick inside if needed. A slightly leaner frame and occasional hand-timing inconsistencies remain minor development areas. Overall, he profiles as a Day 1 starter with Pro Bowl upside. 2). Francis Mauigoa (OT), 6’6”, 315 lbs, Miami Grade Tier: Near Elite NFL Projection: Mid-to-Late 1st Round Analysis: A naturally gifted, scheme-diverse tackle with rare movement skills for his size. Mauigoa pairs balance, recovery quickness, and competitive toughness with steady technical growth. His 2024 tape showed improved efficiency, allowing minimal pressure across high-volume pass sets. He fits both zone and gap systems, offering immediate starting potential. Continued refinement of hand usage and lower-body power could elevate him into franchise tackle territory. 3). Olaivavega Ioane (IOL), 6’4”, 330 lbs, Penn State Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd Round Analysis: A power-based, plug-and-play interior guard built for physical run schemes. Ioane consistently generates displacement on double teams and anchors against interior power with strong leverage and hand placement. He thrives in downhill and gap concepts, though limited lateral quickness caps his upside in movement-heavy systems. Projects as an early starter at guard in a power-based offense. 4). Monroe Freeling (OT), 6’7”, 315 lbs, Georgia Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd Round Analysis: A prototype left tackle with high-end traits built on length and pass-protection ability. Freeling mirrors speed effectively and maintains depth in his sets with very good agility for his frame. Run-game leverage and consistency remain developmental areas, but his athletic profile and pedigree point toward long-term blindside starter upside. 5). Kadyn Proctor (OT), 6’7”, 369 lbs, Alabama Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd Round Analysis: One of the most physically imposing linemen in the class. Proctor overwhelms defenders with size and raw power while flashing surprising lateral agility. Conditioning, leverage consistency, and hand precision remain growth areas, but the ceiling is franchise-left-tackle caliber in a power/gap-based system. 6). Caleb Lomu (OT), 6’5”, 295 lbs, Utah Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd–3rd Round Analysis: A smooth-moving, technically refined left tackle with strong balance and independent hand usage. Lomu excels in zone or hybrid schemes that prioritize movement and recovery athleticism. Added lower-body strength will determine whether he reaches full franchise LT upside, but his pass-protection floor is among the safest in the class. 7). Max Iheanachor (OT), 6’6”, 330 lbs, Arizona State Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd–3rd Round Analysis: A traits-heavy tackle with excellent movement skills and developmental upside. Iheanachor’s lateral quickness and twitchy kick slide project well in outside-zone systems. Technical refinement in hand placement and protection recognition will dictate how quickly he becomes a full-time starter, but the athletic ceiling is high. 8). Blake Miller (OT), 6’6”, 315 lbs, Clemson Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd-3rd Round Analysis: A durable, experienced right tackle with strong zone-scheme fit. Miller flashes smooth footwork and mirror ability but must improve leverage and hand timing against power rushers. Projects as a starting-caliber right tackle with long-term stability in a spread or zone-based offense. 9). Logan Jones (IOL), 6’3”, 293 lbs, Iowa Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 3rd Round Analysis: A highly athletic, zone-scheme center with elite movement skills and strong mental processing. Jones excels in pass protection with efficient hands and lateral recovery ability. Arm length and mass limitations show up against powerful nose tackles, but he projects as a Day 1 starting center in movement-based systems. 10). Connor Lew (IOL), 6’3”, 300 lbs, Auburn Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd–3rd Round Analysis: An athletic, technically refined center with high-level processing and movement skills tailored for zone-heavy offenses. Lew plays with natural leverage, strong hand placement, and outstanding lateral agility, consistently handling stunts and twists with poise. His wrestling background shows up in balance and core control. A 2025 ACL tear introduces medical evaluation importance, and he can struggle anchoring versus elite interior power. If healthy, he projects as a long-term starting center in a movement-based system with early starter upside. 11). Emmanuel Pregnon (IOL), 6’5”, 318 lbs, Oregon Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd–3rd Round Analysis: A powerful, tone-setting interior lineman with plug-and-play guard traits. Pregnon wins first contact with heavy hands, strong grip strength, and a firm anchor in pass protection. He generates displacement in gap concepts and shows adequate mobility for multiple schemes. While not an elite athlete, his size, experience, and functional strength translate immediately. Projects as a long-term starting guard in power or multiple-run offenses. 12). Chase Bisontis (IOL), 6’5”, 315 lbs, Texas A&M Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential NFL Projection: 2nd–3rd Round Analysis: A light-footed, technically sound interior blocker with balanced movement skills and clean leverage mechanics. Bisontis operates well in both zone and gap concepts, climbing efficiently and redirecting in space. In pass protection, he maintains balance and composure, though occasional oversets and limited recovery length can create vulnerability against twitchy rushers. Projects as an early starter with long-term high-end guard upside in a multiple scheme. 13). Caleb Tiernan (OT), 6’7”, 325 lbs, Northwestern Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 4th Round Analysis: A polished, technically advanced lineman who wins through timing, balance, and football intelligence rather than rare traits. Tiernan profiles as a reliable pass protector with guard flexibility, offering immediate swing value. Best suited for pro-style, play-action-heavy offenses that prioritize assignment discipline and protection stability. 14). Jalen Farmer (IOL), 6’5”, 320 lbs, Kentucky Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 4th–5th Round Analysis: A power-based right guard built for downhill run schemes. Farmer wins with anchor strength, violent hands, and the ability to generate displacement once engaged. Average lateral agility limits his range in space-heavy systems, but he projects as a rotational guard early with starting upside in gap-oriented offenses. 15). Jake Slaughter (IOL), 6’5”, 308 lbs, Florida Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 4th Round Analysis: A technically advanced center with strong pass-protection traits and elite hand placement. Slaughter anchors well for his size and processes interior games quickly. While more positional than dominant in the run game, he thrives in zone or movement-based schemes. Projects as a plug-and-play center with long-term stability and developmental upside. 16). Austin Barber (OT), 6’8”, 320 lbs, Florida Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 4th–5th Round Analysis: A physical, experienced lineman best projecting inside at guard despite college LT experience. Barber wins with strength, grip control, and competitive toughness, though average lateral range caps blindside projection. Fits best in run-first, gap or inside-zone systems. 17). Gennings Dunker (OT), 6’5”, 316 lbs, Iowa Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 4th Round Analysis: A rugged, power-based lineman whose temperament and play strength project best inside at guard. Dunker thrives in gap-heavy run schemes, setting tone with physicality and finishing ability. Limited lateral quickness likely shifts him inside at the next level, where he carries starter upside in a run-first offense. 18). Pat Coogan (IOL), 6’5”, 312 lbs, Indiana Grade Tier: Low-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: 6th Round Analysis: A technically disciplined interior lineman who wins with angles and processing rather than athletic upside. Coogan brings functional strength and awareness versus line games but lacks twitch and recovery ability against NFL-caliber interior disruptors. Projects as a reliable depth piece with spot-start value. 19). Isaiah World (OT), 6’8”, 312 lbs, Oregon Grade Tier: Low-Level Starter Potential NFL Projection: Under Review Analysis: A high-ceiling developmental tackle with rare length and movement ability for his frame. World flashes elite reach and recovery range but struggles with hand placement, pad level, and consistency in pass protection. Projects as a developmental swing tackle early with long-term starting upside if technique stabilizes. How We Grade the Offensive Line Offensive Tackles are evaluated primarily on pass-protection consistency, movement efficiency, and their ability to win on an island against speed and power. Grades are driven by set timing, hand placement, anchor strength versus bull rush, lateral mirror ability, and recovery mechanics when initially beaten. We also weigh length, balance, and scheme versatility — whether a tackle can function on either side and execute both wide-zone and gap concepts. In today’s NFL, independent pass protection carries premium value, so true dropback reliability is the most heavily weighted trait. Interior Offensive Linemen are graded on anchor strength, leverage control, displacement power, and mental processing. Guards and centers must consistently absorb interior power, secure gap integrity, and communicate against stunts and simulated pressures. We evaluate hand strength, core stability, pad level, and short-area quickness, particularly in confined spaces. While pass protection remains critical, interior grading places greater emphasis on run-game movement and the ability to control the point of attack in both zone and downhill schemes.

Offense vs. Defense Key Matchups: Ohio State Offense vs. Iowa Defense Ohio State’s Will Howard & TreVeyon Henderson vs. Iowa's Jay Higgins & Yahya Black Ohio State’s run game will face a challenge against Iowa’s front seven, anchored by linebacker Jay Higgins, who leads the Hawkeyes with 34 tackles this season. Iowa’s defensive line, led by Yahya Black and Aaron Graves, will be key to slowing Henderson, who has been averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Jeremiah Smith & Emeka Egbuka vs. Iowa Secondary (Sebastian Castro & Xavier Nwankpa) Ohio State's passing attack, which averages 270 yards per game, will look to exploit Iowa’s 69th-ranked pass defense. Smith and Egbuka, with a combined 9 touchdowns, are the key threats. Castro and Nwankpa will need to step up to keep the Buckeyes' receivers in check. Iowa Offense vs. Ohio State Defense Kaleb Johnson vs. Ohio State Defensive Line (Tyleik Williams, JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer) Johnson’s physical, downhill running style will test Ohio State’s defensive line, particularly with the return of Tyleik Williams. The Buckeyes, giving up just 61.8 rushing yards per game, will need their defensive front to contain Johnson, who is a Heisman candidate. Cade McNamara vs. Ohio State Secondary (Denzel Burke, Davison Igbinosun) McNamara has struggled to push the ball downfield, with only 588 passing yards and three touchdowns through four games. Ohio State’s secondary, led by cornerback Denzel Burke, ranks third nationally in passing yards allowed, holding opponents to just 155 yards per game. McNamara will need to avoid costly turnovers to keep Iowa competitive. 2025 NFL Draft Eligible Prospects to Watch: 1. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State Henderson’s combination of elite speed, vision, and burst makes him a home-run threat on every play. His agility and pass-catching ability add versatility to Ohio State's offense. 2.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State Egbuka’s elite speed, sharp route-running, and ability to create separation make him a dynamic receiving threat. His versatility allows him to be dangerous at multiple spots on the field. 6. J.T. Tuimoloau, DE, Ohio State Tuimoloau blends speed, strength, and hand technique to be a dominant force on the edge. His athleticism and explosiveness make him effective in both pass-rushing and setting the edge against the run. 7. Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State Sawyer is an instinctive edge rusher with a quick first step and relentless pursuit. His ability to shed blocks and get into the backfield makes him a constant threat to disrupt plays. 8. Sebastian Castro, DB, Iowa Castro is a physical, hard-hitting safety with great instincts in run support. His tackling ability and versatility allow him to be a consistent enforcer near the line of scrimmage. 9. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State Simmons is a strong, technically sound offensive lineman with quick feet and great hand placement. His ability to protect the quarterback and create running lanes is key for Ohio State's success. 10. Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa Lachey is a balanced tight end with excellent hands and solid blocking ability. His ability to contribute both as a receiver and in pass protection makes him a key offensive player for Iowa. 11.

Marvin Harrison Jr. 2025 Dynasty Superflex Fantasy Outlook and League-Winning Potential If you’re building for a fantasy football championship in 2025, you need more than just reliable starters; you need league winners . That’s the focus of this weekly series: identifying top rookies and ascending Year 2 and Year 3 players in Superflex dynasty formats with the traits, talent, and team situation to deliver elite fantasy production. Whether it’s a sophomore surge or a breakout WR in a high-volume offense, these are the players who could win you your league in 2025. Marvin Harrison Jr. Scouting Snapshot Team: Arizona Cardinals Position: WR Age: 22 Year: Year 2 Format: Dynasty Superflex & Superflex Redraft 0.5 PPR Current ADP: 35th overall (Round 3 in Superflex formats – FantasyPros) Few wide receivers enter the NFL with more hype than Marvin Harrison Jr., and even fewer boast Hall of Fame bloodlines. Drafted fourth overall in 2024, Harrison posted a solid rookie season with 62 receptions, 885 yards, and 8 touchdowns on 114 targets—numbers eerily similar to his father’s rookie line in 1996. At 6'4", Harrison Jr. combines elite body control, hands, and route-running refinement, with the versatility to win inside or outside. He's added muscle this offseason and is working to improve his chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray. Why Marvin Harrison Jr. Could Be a League Winner in 2025 Let’s talk upside. Marvin Harrison Jr. finished WR39 in fantasy points per game as a rookie—but that came despite a staggering 41% of his targets being deemed uncatchable. That number should drop significantly in 2025 if Kyler Murray stays healthy and continues his offseason work with Harrison. The Cardinals didn’t add major receiving competition, signaling full confidence in MHJ as their WR1. He already saw a top-20 target total in 2024 and is now being deployed in more efficient horizontal-breaking routes, which better suit his skill set. Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon and the staff have publicly praised Marvin Harrison’s Year 2 preparation, with reports of physical growth and dedication in the film room. The situation is set: WR1 role locked in, chemistry on the rise, and elite pedigree. If his efficiency improves even modestly, he could finish top 12 in PPG—and you’re getting him in Round 3 of Superflex drafts? That’s league-winning value. 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook Marvin Harrison Jr. is currently being drafted as WR17 and 35th overall in Superflex formats, making him a premium WR2 with WR1 upside. If you land an elite QB in Round 1 and a top-tier RB in Round 2, grabbing Harrison in Round 3 sets the foundation for a juggernaut roster. Expect a 2025 stat line around 90+ catches, 1,200 yards, and 10+ touchdowns, assuming health and continued usage progression. Don’t overthink it—he may not have hit WR1 heights as a rookie, but 2025 is the year Marvin Harrison Jr. delivers on his generational promise.

Day three of the 2024 NFL Combine is underway, and we are recapping the top performances by position group on the day. Check back at the end of each day as we continue to recap every position group from the drill work at the 2024 NFL Combine. Overview of Today's Analysis Below, we provide a breakdown of the top players ranked within their respective position groups. This analysis is based on the drill work and how it correlates with each prospect's initial scouting report from the Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Big Board, available on our website. Grading If the Film Matches the NFL Combine Data The aim of today's analysis is to assess each prospect's NFL Combine drill performance. We consider all aspects of the workouts, from the 40-yard dash to the on-field exercises, to determine if a prospect's previous film analysis and scouting report align with their performance during the NFL Combine's on-field drills. Learn more about the player grade scale here. The Top Running Back Grades At The 2024 NFL Combine Trey Benson, RB, Florida State (6' 0'', 216 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.39 seconds (3rd among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.52 seconds (4th among running backs) Vertical Jump: 33.5'' (15th among running backs) Broad Jump: 10' 2'' (8th among running backs) Scouting Report Connection: Trey Benson demonstrates the physical attributes of an elite running back with his outstanding combine performance, particularly highlighted by his impressive 40-yard dash time. His athleticism is further emphasized by his broad jump results, showcasing his potential for power and burst. While his vertical jump might not rank as high, his overall combine performance aligns well with an explosive and dynamic playstyle. Despite some criticisms on tape regarding vision and decisiveness, his physical prowess suggests a high ceiling for development. Grade Assignment: Given Benson's exceptional NFL Combine metrics that indicate elite speed and agility, juxtaposed with his solid collegiate production, his grade would be Very Good to Outstanding (7-8) . While there are areas for improvement in terms of in-game decision-making and consistency, his athletic base is exceptional. With the right coaching and system, Benson has the potential to transcend his current projection and evolve into a significant asset in an NFL backfield. His combine performance and physical traits present a compelling case for a higher ceiling than initially anticipated. MarShawn Lloyd, RB, USC (5’ 9’’, 220 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.46 seconds (6th among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.56 seconds (14th among running backs) Vertical Jump: 36'' (8th among running backs) Broad Jump: 9’ 10’’ (13th among running backs) Scouting Report Connection: MarShawn Lloyd exhibits big-play capabilities and could be seen as a versatile addition to an NFL backfield. While his college tape has shown inconsistency between years, his combine results, particularly in the 40-yard dash, demonstrate his ability to contribute explosive plays. His performance suggests potential beyond a mere complementary role, aligning with a "chunk-play slasher" profile and a threat in the open field. However, his vision and anticipation, crucial for a running back's success, are noted as areas for improvement. Grade Assignment: Considering Lloyd's solid combine performance showcasing his speed and athleticism, coupled with his potential noted in collegiate play, his grade would be Above Average to Good (6-7) . His physical attributes, combined with his low-mileage and potential for growth, suggest he could develop into a more significant role, particularly in schemes that capitalize on his strengths as a dynamic runner and pass-catcher. His success at the next level will likely hinge on finding the right system and continuing to refine his vision and patience as a runner. Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee (5' 10 1/2'', 210 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.38 seconds (2nd among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds (11th among running backs) Vertical Jump: 38'' (4th among running backs) Broad Jump: 11' 2'' (1st among running backs) Scouting Report Connection: Jaylen Wright is described as an explosive running back with notable breakaway speed, aligning well with his excellent combine performance, especially in the 40-yard dash and broad jump, which showcase his athleticism and potential for making big plays. His linear running style and average vision are points for improvement, but his speed and ability to extend plays around the corner are significant strengths. His fit in a stretch-based attack could maximize his abilities, leveraging his straight-line speed and reducing the emphasis on agility-based maneuvers. Grade Assignment: Considering Wright's strong NFL Combine performance that highlighted his speed and explosive potential, juxtaposed with the areas for growth identified in his running style and vision, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His athletic scores indicate a high ceiling, particularly in schemes that align with his strengths. With development in his vision and interior running, Wright has the potential to evolve into a more complete back and fulfill the role of a productive starter in the NFL. Blake Corum, RB, Michigan (5’ 8’’, 205 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.53 seconds (12th among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.58 seconds (21st among running backs) Vertical Jump: 35.5'' (10th among running backs) Broad Jump: Data not provided Scouting Report Connection: Blake Corum is characterized as a compact, hard-nosed runner with exceptional contact balance and the ability to navigate tight spaces effectively. While his combine metrics, particularly in speed, may not reflect top-tier athleticism, they do support the type of determined, consistent running style he exhibited in college. His vertical jump is solid, indicating good lower-body strength, aligning with his ability to finish runs strongly and maintain balance through contact. Grade Assignment: Given Corum’s reliable college production and his combine performance that solidifies his role as a tough, downhill runner, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . While he may lack the explosive attributes typically sought in a standout NFL running back, his work ethic, football IQ, and three-down capabilities — highlighted by his pass protection and receiving ability — suggest he could develop into a valuable asset in an NFL backfield, particularly in a system that values toughness and consistency. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville (6' 0'', 221 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.33 seconds (1st among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds (13th among running backs) Vertical Jump: 41.5'' (1st among running backs) Broad Jump: 10' 9'' (2nd among running backs) Scouting Report Connection: Isaac Guerendo showcases a blend of size and speed reminiscent of a traditional power back, yet his athleticism is evident in his leading combine performances. Despite an average production score, his combine results highlight exceptional physical abilities, particularly his explosive power and speed. While his on-field decision-making and burst are noted as fairly average, his combine performances in speed and jumping drills suggest a potential that may not have been fully tapped into during his college tenure. His ability to contribute in various phases of the game, including pass protection and catching out of the backfield, aligns with the versatile demands of modern NFL running backs. Grade Assignment: Given Guerendo's standout NFL Combine results, particularly his rank-topping speed and vertical leap, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . While his college production may not fully reflect his physical capabilities, the athletic foundation is there for Guerendo to develop into a more significant contributor at the professional level. If he can translate his combined performances into consistent on-field effectiveness, he can potentially exceed his current projection as a backup and evolve into a starting role. Ray Davis, RB, Kentucky (5’ 8’’, 211 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.53 seconds (12th among running backs) 10-Yard Split: 1.56 seconds (16th among running backs) Vertical Jump: 35'' (11th among running backs) Broad Jump: 9’ 11’’ (12th among running backs) Scouting Report Connection: Ray Davis is seen as a three-down back who demonstrates an adequate mix of interior toughness and pass-catching ability from the backfield. His combine results show average athleticism, aligning with the scouting notes regarding his speed and vision. While not standing out as a top performer in any specific combine event, his balanced performance supports his on-field play style. His vision and decisiveness are noted as average, and he's acknowledged for altering pacing to find openings, a skill that, while not directly measured at the combine, is reflected in his overall solid but not spectacular athletic scores. Grade Assignment: Considering Davis's solid college production against his average combine athleticism, his grade would be Above Average to Good (6-7) . His consistent performance and balanced skill set suggest he has the foundational traits to develop into a reliable NFL back, particularly if he can improve in areas like pass protection and decision-making. His combine performance, coupled with his football IQ and adaptability, positions him as a potentially valuable Day 3 pick with the capacity to grow into a more significant role within an NFL offense.

2025 NFL Draft Day One Recap: Top Picks, Biggest Surprises, Notable Slides & Best Available for Day Two Early Order Holds, Then Chaos Unfolds Round One of the 2025 NFL Draft opened with predictability and closed in chaos. As expected, the Titans selected Cam Ward first overall, followed by a surprise trade—Jacksonville leaping up to No. 2 to snag two-way star Travis Hunter. The Giants went with pass rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3, a pick aligned with most consensus boards. But things got weird quickly. The Browns moved down from No. 2 to No. 5 and still landed our top-graded player, Michigan’s Mason Graham, while the Patriots locked in on foundational left tackle Will Campbell. The Bears shocked some by taking Colston Loveland at No. 10, the highest tight end selection in years, though his talent justifies the spot. Value Hits, Head-Scratching Reaches, and Franchise Gambles The Raiders took RB Ashton Jeanty at No. 6, making him the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley, while the Falcons doubled down on front-seven talent with Jalon Walker and later James Pearce Jr. Several consensus favorites went in expected ranges, including Tyler Warren to the Colts and Malaki Starks to the Ravens, both considered strong value picks. On the other end, there were a few stunning reaches—none bigger than the Giants trading back into Round One to take Jaxson Dart at No. 25, passing on Shedeur Sanders for the second time. Seattle’s pick of Grey Zabel at 18 and the Lions reaching for Tyleik Williams at 28 also drew raised eyebrows. Top Talent Slides Into Day Two Meanwhile, a handful of top prospects slid completely out of the first round. Michigan CB Will Johnson, once viewed as a top-five lock, fell amid late medical concerns. EDGE Mike Green from Marshall, one of our top ten players, also remains available, as does Notre Dame’s polished corner Benjamin Morrison. Wide receiver Luther Burden III and safety Nick Emmanwori, both projected top-32 picks, were left on the board, along with Shedeur Sanders—a Day One headliner whose polarizing evaluations have now made him the biggest storyline entering Day Two. Round One Trades Set Stage for Day Two Opportunities Add in several key trades—Jacksonville jumping up for Hunter, the Giants swapping back in for Dart, and the Browns’ calculated move down to No. 5—and it’s clear Round One delivered fireworks. With an abundance of top-50 talent still available, including players with first-round grades on our board, teams with early picks in Rounds 2 and 3 are in prime position to find immediate starters. Expect aggressive movement at cornerback, running back, and safety as Day Two kicks off. Trench Warfare Headlines Day One: A Positional Breakdown Evaluating the positional breakdown of picks on Day One of the 2025 NFL Draft, the trends reflected exactly what we’ve been anticipating for months. There were five offensive tackles and six interior defensive linemen selected in the first round, highlighting just how dominant the trenches were in this draft class. The volume of defensive line picks was no surprise—I’ve been pounding the table on the depth and versatility of this group since last summer. It’s one of the strongest interior DL classes we’ve seen in years, and NFL teams clearly agreed. On the offensive side, the run on linemen—particularly interior offensive linemen, with three selected in Round One—was more about necessity than depth. This year’s class lacks high-end depth on the offensive line, especially on the interior. That scarcity drove up the value for players like Grey Zabel and Donovan Jackson, who came off the board earlier than projected but filled critical needs for their new teams. All told, Day One delivered a clear message: if you wanted quality in the trenches, you had to strike early—and the teams that did walked away with instant-impact starters. Top Day One Picks Based on Big Board Rankings Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan (Browns, No. 5) 📊 Big Board Rank: 1 | Consensus Pick Probability: 25% The Browns played this perfectly. They moved down from No. 2, still landed the No. 1 player on our board, and secured extra draft capital. Graham’s elite production and power make him an instant fit next to Myles Garrett — a foundational piece for Jim Schwartz’s defense. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (Giants, No. 3) 📊 Big Board Rank: 2 | Consensus Pick Probability: 58.33% No surprises here — a match made in pass-rushing heaven. Carter brings elite burst, bend, and motor, and he instantly upgrades the Giants' front. They needed an alpha edge presence, and Carter checks every box. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado (Jaguars, No. 2) 📊 Big Board Rank: 3 | Consensus Pick Probability (Browns): 58.33% Stunning trade-up aside, the value is undeniable. Hunter is a two-way weapon and a generational talent. The Jaguars’ boldness will be judged on how well they unleash his versatility, but the upside is All-Pro on both sides of the ball. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (Raiders, No. 6) 📊 Big Board Rank: 4 | Consensus Pick Probability: 41.67% (Jaguars) Jeanty becomes the first running back selected inside the top six since Saquon Barkley. His blend of vision, contact balance, and explosiveness fits perfectly in a Chip Kelly system built to maximize space and tempo. A tone-setter for a new era in Vegas. Will Campbell, OT, LSU (Patriots, No. 4) 📊 Big Board Rank: 7 | Consensus Pick Probability: 50% A rock-solid projection from the consensus and a premium pick for a franchise in reset mode. Campbell brings rare polish for a college tackle — long arms, clean footwork, and a powerful anchor in pass pro. New England lands a day-one starter with All-Pro upside. Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Titans, No. 1) 📊 Big Board Rank: 9 | Consensus Pick Probability: 66.67% The Titans stuck to the script and made the right move. Ward is the most dynamic quarterback in the class — combining off-platform creativity, pocket toughness, and elite arm talent. While some boards had him outside the top 10 or even as far back as day two, our grading saw a clear QB1 with franchise-level tools and untapped ceiling. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan (Bears, No. 10) 📊 Big Board Rank: 10 | Consensus Pick Probability (Colts/Broncos/Chargers): ~41.67% The Bears break the mold by taking a tight end in the top 10 — and it’s absolutely justified. Loveland is a modern mismatch weapon with elite body control, route polish, and explosive YAC ability. With D.J. Moore and Roe Odunze outside, Loveland gives Chicago a dynamic seam threat to unlock the middle of the field for 2nd year QB Caleb Williams. Best Day One Value Picks Based on Big Board Rankings Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas (Broncos, No. 20) 📊 Big Board Rank: 8 | Consensus Pick Probability: 33.33% (49ers/Dolphins) Denver capitalized on Barron's slight slide to secure one of the most complete defensive backs in the class. A top-10 talent on our board, Barron brings elite instincts, position flexibility (slot, perimeter, safety), and a fearless mentality in run support. He gives defensive coordinator Vance Joseph a smart, scheme-versatile piece to pair with Patrick Surtain II. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (Colts, No. 14) 📊 Big Board Rank: 11 | Consensus Pick Probability: 33.33% (Colts) The Colts didn’t overthink it. Chris Ballard let the board come to him and secured a three-down tight end with elite production and red-zone upside. Warren posted the second-highest overall draft score in the NGS model and was TE1 on most mocks — but TE2 on our board. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (Ravens, No. 27) 📊 Big Board Rank: 12 | Consensus Pick Probability: 41.67% (Vikings/Bills) Baltimore sat tight and scooped up the best safety in the class. Starks was mocked higher across most boards and lands in a perfect system to unleash his range and instincts. His ability to erase deep balls and fly downhill as a run defender gives the Ravens another versatile chess piece in the secondary. This is a classic Ravens value pick — BPA meets long-term need. Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia (Falcons, No. 15) 📊 Big Board Rank: 13 | Consensus Pick Probability: 16.67% Atlanta passed on more conventional edge players to take one of the most versatile defenders in the class. Walker's rare ability to rush off the edge and drop in coverage makes him a hybrid weapon in Raheem Morris’ front. He was top-15 on our board thanks to his explosiveness and closing speed — and he’ll be a Day One subpackage nightmare for opposing offenses. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina (Chargers, No. 22) 📊 Big Board Rank: 17 | Consensus Pick Probability: 16.67% With Najee Harris in the backfield, some questioned the fit — but the value is real. Hampton is a workhorse with home-run ability who posted back-to-back 1,500+ yard seasons at UNC. He’s got the size-speed combo to be a true three-down back, and in a Jim Harbaugh offense built around physicality and balance, Hampton might end up leading all rookies in touches. This was a classic case of talent over depth chart. Biggest Day One Surprise Picks (Outliers vs. Board) Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss (Giants, No. 25) 📊 Big Board Rank: 68 | Consensus Pick Probability: 0% While late-week reports suggested the Giants were higher on Dart than most teams, this still qualifies as a major reach. New York passed on Shedeur Sanders twice — including at No. 3 overall — then traded back into Round 1 to take Dart, a quarterback ranked well outside our top 50. He impressed in interviews and on the whiteboard, but this is a high-stakes swing that could ultimately define the Daboll-Schoen regime. Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State (Seahawks, No. 18) 📊 Big Board Rank: 48 | Consensus Pick Probability: 36.36% Zabel was a projected fringe Round 1/2 player who rocketed into the top 20. While Seattle prioritizes toughness in the trenches, this felt early for a developmental interior lineman — even one as physically dominant as Zabel. Not a bad pick, but much earlier than projected. Tyleik Williams, IDL, Ohio State (Lions, No. 28) 📊 Big Board Rank: 86 | Consensus Pick Probability: <1% The biggest reach of the night relative to our board. While the raw tools are there, Williams was projected as a Day 2 developmental player. Dan Campbell clearly sees upside, but it’s a big swing with more polished DL options still on the board. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (Panthers, No. 8) 📊 Big Board Rank: 16 | Consensus Pick Probability: 16.67% (Texans) McMillan is a talented vertical threat, but going inside the top 10 was earlier than expected. With other needs on the board, Carolina bet big on his size, tracking ability, and contested-catch dominance. He’ll be counted on immediately to elevate Bryce Young’s downfield game. Derrick Harmon, IDL, Oregon (Steelers, No. 21) 📊 Big Board Rank: 45 | Consensus Pick Probability: 16.67% With Shedeur Sanders still on the board — and strongly linked to Pittsburgh in the consensus (50% probability) — this pick turned heads. Harmon is a stout, high-floor interior defender, but passing on a potential franchise QB for a rotational IDL was unexpected. It signals the Steelers are either all-in on a veteran or still eyeing a Day 2 quarterback. Notable Day One Slides Relative to Big Board Will Johnson, CB, Michigan 📊 Big Board Rank: 5 | Consensus Pick Probability: Projected to 6 teams (Saints, Dolphins, Bucs, Jaguars, Packers, Giants) A top-five talent on our board and the top-graded cornerback in the class. Johnson’s slide is directly tied to lingering medical concerns — specifically a flagged knee issue from 2023 — despite reports that he was cleared by doctors. With elite coverage instincts and the second-lowest passer rating allowed in FBS from 2022–2024, this is the best pure cover corner still available. Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall 📊 Big Board Rank: 6 | Consensus Pick Probability: Projected to 3 teams (Panthers, Bengals, Falcons) Green’s exclusion from Round 1 is one of the bigger surprises from a production standpoint. He finished with a top-10 pass rush win rate and has positional versatility as a stand-up EDGE or hand-in-the-dirt DE. Several teams in need of pass rush help passed on a ready-made disruptor with elite testing numbers. Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame 📊 Big Board Rank: 18 | Consensus Pick Probability: Mid-to-late Round 1 projection Smooth mover with strong ball skills and instincts. Morrison was mocked as high as the early teens in several expert mocks, yet remains available after Round 1. Durability and scheme questions may have pushed him down, but the tape shows a top-tier press man corner. Shavon Revel, CB, ECU (Unselected) 📊 Big Board Rank: 19 | Consensus Pick Probability: Fringe Round 1 projection One of the most explosive athletes in the class, Revel pairs elite length with press-man upside. Though still developing technically, his raw traits and physical profile give him one of the highest ceilings among cornerbacks in this draft. Teams seeking scheme-versatile perimeter defenders will be eager to grab him early on Day Two. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri 📊 Big Board Rank: 27 | Consensus Pick Probability: Tied for 2nd or 3rd WR in most mocks Arguably the best YAC weapon in the class. He profiles as a high-end WR2 in the slot with vertical juice and toughness after the catch. Some teams may have docked him for size or alignment versatility, but he’ll be a weapon from Day One. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina 📊 Big Board Rank: 28 | Consensus Pick Probability: Projected to Eagles, Vikings, Ravens A downhill enforcer with hybrid linebacker/safety traits, Emmanwori was one of the most consistent tacklers in college football. He brings physicality and range, and was viewed as a top-32 player on multiple boards. He’ll appeal to teams running zone-heavy or big nickel schemes. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado 📊 Big Board Rank: 26 | Consensus Pick Probability: 50% (Steelers), 33.33% (Raiders), 16.67% (Saints) Expected to go in the top 15 for most of the cycle. Harsh pre-draft critiques, including anonymous comments about his demeanor and play under pressure, caused a dramatic slide. Still a high-upside QB with strong mechanics and poise — he’ll be one of the most-watched names on Day Two with interest from the Browns, Raiders, Saints, and Steelers. 🔎 🔭 Day Two Outlook: Top 50 Talent Still on the Board Day One of the 2025 NFL Draft delivered chaos, trades, and a few surprise omissions — and that sets the stage for an absolutely loaded Day Two. Multiple top-50 prospects , including several first-round grades on our board, are still available entering Rounds 2 and 3. The headliners? Shedeur Sanders, Will Johnson, TreVeyon Henderson, and Quinshon Judkins — all players with the traits to become Day One NFL starters. Whether it’s medical flags, positional runs, or front office fit concerns, their fall now presents an opportunity for smart franchises to strike. We expect runs at cornerback, running back, and safety to shape the action early on Friday. Teams that remained patient through Round 1 are now poised to walk away with premium value. 📊 Top Remaining Prospects (Football Scout 365 Big Board – Top 50) CBs: 5. Will Johnson – Michigan (elite cover skills, flagged medical) 18. Benjamin Morrison – Notre Dame (polished zone/press specialist, flagged medical) 19. Shavon Revel – ECU (explosive traits, high ceiling, flagged medical) 30. Azareye’h Thomas – Florida State 41. Trey Amos – Mississippi EDGE/DL: 6. Mike Green – Marshall (disruptive pass rusher with positional flexibility) 34. Donovan Ezeiruaku – Boston College 36. Darius Alexander – Toledo 43. Jack Sawyer – Ohio State 50. T.J.
