My Top 100 2025 NFL draft Prospects

* Note the board is fluid but these are my rankings as of January 5th.

I know that a lot of you guys don't have time to search or watch a ton of tape on prospects. I did a similar thread on Qb prospects earlier, but to help everyone I am going to give you my current top 100 prospects before the combine/pro days in the off chance you can digest the information easier and give you a good general idea of the talent going into this offseason. 

1. Travis Hunter CB/WR Colorado 2 way generational talent

2. Abdul Carter Edge Penn St disruptive force, could easily surpass Parsons as a pass rusher/talent

3. Will Johnson CB Michigan  Elite Lockdown corner

4. Tetairoa McMillan WR Arizona 6'5 dominate Alpha Wr, reminds me of a leaner Julio Jones

5. Mason Graham DL Michigan elite mix of power and agility, he's the model for modern D linemen.

6. Kelvin Banks OT Texas my #1 tackle is great but not number 1 overall elite

7. Ashton Jeanty RB Boise St had an amazing year and is better than Bijuan Robinson who came out 2 years ago

8. Tre Harris WR Ole Miss He's a more elite version of DK Metcalf coming out. Had 1,000 yards in only 6 games.

9. Will Campbell IOL LSU The #1 tackle in this class will play guard in the NFL. His Short arms and struggles with Speed rushers guarantee that.

10. Malaki Starks S Georgia Elite modern safety that isn't scared to roam in the box

11. Tyler Warren TE Penn St he's a Swiss army knife, he'll be the next elite TE in the NFL.

12. Jahdae Barron CB Texas A fast riser who plays all over the field and is disruptive everywhere

13. James Pearce Edge Tennessee Pearce and Princely were virtually tied for #2 Edge for me, both are disruptive and feast on the Qb at will.

14. Princely Umanmielen Edge Ole Miss has the craziest bend that I have seen in a while

15. Omarion Hamilton RB North Carolina in my opinion the best back in the draft, or at least he'll be the best NFL back. Has been truly elite on a horrible NC team.

16. Cam Ward Qb Miami the best Qb in a bad Qb draft.

17. Emeka Egbuka WR Ohio St when healthy its hard to deny his talent but health will he huge.

18. Josh Simmons OT Ohio St really dependable tackle prospect, no flash just productivity.

19. Sheddur Sanders QB Colorado

20. Walter Nolen DL Ole Miss #1 player out of high school and throughout college. Selfless disruptive force that turned a defensive line from 80th to 2nd in most categories in one season.

21. Mykel Williams Edge Georgia solid rotational DL that hasn't played his best ball yet

22. Nic Scourton Edge Texas AM reminds me of Bryan Breese from last year

23. Luther Burden III WR Missouri elite wr that didn't have the qb to truly show his talents.

24. Colston Loveland TE Michigan best receiving TE in the draft

25. JT Tuimolau Edge Ohio St

* Still have to go through and transfer my notes on each prospect to their ranking but it will take me several hours to do it and this already took some time. Will add in notes as I can, plus I thought this could be a general area to discuss prospects so there isn't 40 threads.

JClay: IMO there are only three can't-miss high-1st-round blue-chippers this year.

Also, the top two QB's (who IMO stink by comparison), will nevertheless be taken in the top five.

So, I have little doubt (assuming things work out as "well" as usual) the Giants will be picking sixth.

Who are the 3 can't miss players in your opinion?

So, I have little doubt (assuming things work out as "well" as usual) the Giants will be picking sixth.

Bob, I've got you covered they're picking fourth or better. New England is giving Buffalo everything they can handle and Joe Milton III is looking good.

More to come ...

Peace!

[Jclayton92]

Texas, Ole Miss, Georgia,  Ohio St, and Penn St had a ton of upperclassmen that declared so the top 100 leans that way heavily.

Really interesting, this thread should be pinned at the top of the board. Thanks.
