There aren’t anywhere near the sure-fire studs in the 2025 class that we saw in 2024. All that does is make NFL scouts earn their money even more this upcoming spring. With very few consensus top guys at their position, you’ll be seeing vastly different top fives based off what a particular draft analyst covets most. That being said, positions like running back and cornerback are among the few that stand out as strong classes this year.

It’s still early, but the development of Cam Ward has been the story of the season at the quarterback position. He plays with the kind of calm confidence that you can’t teach. Ward can not only rip it to any level of the field from the pocket, but he has a sixth sense for evading pressure and creating outside of it.
This is a very talented class, even if there’s no sure-fire No. 1 pick. I couldn’t even squeeze in LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, who could easily play his way into a top-50 pick based off what I’ve seen early on. The one player I may be wishcasting a little on based off the growth I’ve seen early on is Drew Allar. He still has bouts with shaky accuracy, but no one in the class holds a candle to his arm strength. The man can hit any window you want to give him.
