Top NFL Draft Prospects: 20-11

20. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Shedeur Sanders may have posted the most accurate passing period by any quarterback during his two seasons in Colorado and possesses the best mechanics of any passer in the class. Over his final two collegiate seasons, Sanders completed nearly 72 percent of his 907 passing attempts, accounting for 7,364 yards and 64 passing touchdowns.

Sanders brings with him potential due to his ability to process from within the pocket and deliver accurate passes to every area of the field. One thing Sanders doesn't lack is confidence, which tends to rub some people the wrong way, but in his case, that confidence is what makes him special.

19. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

If the Philadelphia Eagles have taught us anything, it's that if you want to win, you need to build inside the trenches. Kelvin Banks Jr. is a foundational piece to any offensive line. Banks projects well at left tackle, with an ability to sink his hips and anchor down while also getting a good punch off to gain an edge in the run game and an ability to get to that second level.

For the Longhorns, Banks had solidified the offensive line since 2023, having allowed just two quarterback sacks and three quarterback hits in 1,043 pass-block snaps. During his Texas tenure, we also saw Banks play both right and left tackle and kick inside on the odd occasion, showing off his versatility.

18. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama 

In 2024, Jihaad Campbell produced 119 tackles and five sacks, forced a pair of fumbles, and even came away with an interception. Campbell is a proven commodity. He can patrol sideline to sideline and produce tackles at an elite rate as an off-the-ball linebacker, but he also showed that he can be a problem coming off the edge, demonstrating both power and speed.

Campbell clocked a 4.52 40-time at the combine, showing off the speed and explosiveness you see on the field when he is on the hunt for the ball-carrier, whether it's in the open field or pursuing on the backside. Campbell is a rare talent that immediately makes a defense better, and we have not seen him ascend to his final form yet.

17. Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi

Jaxson Dart has the arm talent and mobility to be a dual-threat option at the next level. At Mississippi, Lane Kiffin tasked him with running a high-tempo RPO-spread offense that required him to make quick decisions and throw with timing.

When the throws weren't there, Dart was able to escape the pocket and pick up much-needed yardage on the ground, as evidenced by his 1,500 rushing yards and 4.0 yards per carry average over his final three collegiate seasons.

Dart is still a work in progress, much like how Bo Nix entered the league last year. Like Nix, Dart brings a wealth of experience to the position, and when he gets into a rhythm, he is as accurate a passer as Sanders. 

When pressured, Dart seems unphased, completing 66.2 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns and just a pair of interceptions. His turnover-worthy rate is 1.1 percent, which is better than Cameron Ward's.

16. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

This is a higher rank than on many draft boards, but the potential and upside in Josh Simmons' game are undeniable. Simmons' 2024 campaign was cut short due to injury, so some evaluators may have that "out of sight, out of mind" mentality regarding Simmons and that potential.

Even in an injury-shortened campaign, throughout 300 snaps, Simmons allowed just one quarterback pressure without yielding a quarterback sack, let alone a quarterback hit.

Simmons shows excellent movement skills and balance, along with the imposing size he brings to the tackle position. He plays with a wide base that adds balance and an uncanny ability to redirect the defender. 

15. Mike Green, Edge, Marshall

The 2024 college sack leader is arguably this year's class's most explosive and productive edge-rusher. Despite his diminutive size, Mike Green was a game-wrecker, sacking the opposition's quarterback 17 times and finishing with 21 tackles for loss in 2024. That momentum continued to the Senior Bowl, where he was a dominant force once again.

Green plays with violence every snap, attacking would-be blockers with bad intentions and creating separation to either attack the backfield or free himself to feast in the run game.

There's plenty to like about his on-field play, and at the combine, Green showed off that quick-twitch ability. He posted elite agility numbers with a 6.85-second three-cone time and a shuttle time of 4.25 seconds, which puts him in the 99th percentile.

14. Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Cam Ward has produced everywhere he has been. In his first season at Miami, Ward threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, again legitimizing the Miami program. Ward has the most upside of any quarterback in the 2025 draft, possessing elite arm strength, a quick release, and the mobility of a dual-threat quarterback.

On top of all the upsides, Ward also enters the league with a wealth of experience that we have seen translate well for many quarterbacks. With stops in Miami, Washington, and Incarnate Word, Ward has accumulated 57 career starts, with 38 coming against Power 5 Competition. In those 38 contests, production has followed, with Ward accounting for 87 passing touchdowns and 17 more touchdowns on the ground, which works out to 2.73 touchdowns per game.

13. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

With all the talk about Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland may be flying under the radar. Loveland is as athletic as Warren and is arguably a better route runner. His route-running ability creates separation, making him a reliable target for his future quarterback. Loveland will make an impact as a rookie, as he has shown that he can finish in traffic and create additional yardage once he gets in the open field.

While his numbers aren't as impressive as Warren's, his 101 receptions, 1,231 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns are not something you ignore; in college, Loveland's 34.7 percent receiving market share was the most among Power Conference tight ends in the last 15 years.

Furthermore, against Power 5 teams, Loveland's 2.25 yards per route run is right there with Brock Bowers, Mark Andrews, and Kyle Pitts. Loveland is as NFL-ready as you can be, and the gap between him and Warren is a lot closer than one may think.

12. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

If you liked Will Campbell before the arm measurements came out, you should still like him now, despite the lack of recorded arm length. Listen, before the combine and pro days, we didn't have measurables for many of these players, and Campbell was considered one of the best offensive tackle prospects, if not the best. It's not like he suddenly forgot how to pass protect once he found out his arm length wasn't ideal for the position.

While the arm length has created some buzz, Campbell possesses the perfect blend of athleticism and size for the position. With that athleticism and technique, he quickly makes up for anything he gives up due to length. In the worst-case scenario, Campbell kicks inside as Joe Thuney and Zack Martin did, converting from tackle in college to guard at the next level and having very successful careers.

11. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Will Johnson is the third great cornerback available in this year's draft. He has the size and length to match up against bigger receivers on the outside and in the slot. Johnson played in just six games last season, but since 2023, the Michigan product hasn't allowed a touchdown reception in 478 coverage snaps while earning six interceptions of his own.

The main reason Johnson slides in behind Travis Hunter and Jahdae Barron is some mild concern regarding his deep speed and inconsistency in showing up in the run game.
