2025 NFL Draft Top 50 Prospect Rankings: 40-31 Big Board

TreVeyon Henderson - CFB, NCAAF, Running Back, DFS, Draft Prospects

Matt's top 2025 NFL Draft prospects. His NFL Draft big board for the 40-31 ranked players. Read the NFL Draft expert analysis, rankings, and breakdown.

April 24 is just a couple of weeks away—we are talking weeks, not months. April has historically been known as the most deceptive month of the year, and with the draft on the horizon, we are bound to hear stories that will affect a player's draft stock.

The Senior Bowl has come and gone. The Combine went away faster than a Matthew Golden 40-yard time. Pro Days are coming to a conclusion, and NFL decision-makers are putting the final touches on their draft boards.

Here is my RotoBaller Big Board, where we will break down the Top 50 NFL Draft prospects leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft. Here, we look closer at my Big Board and those Draft prospects ranked from 31 to 40.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Top NFL Draft Prospects 40-31

40. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Since 2023, Josh Conerly Jr. has logged 1,007 pass-blocking snaps. The former Oregon tackle allowed just a pair of sacks throughout that duration. If my math serves me correctly, that is only surrendering one sack for every 503 snaps. That's some acceptable protection right there. Go back and watch the Oregon and Penn State tape. Against Abdul Carter, Conerly held the No. 1 overall pick in check, allowing zero pressures.

Conerly has a big body, quick feet, and long arms, a great combination at the tackle position. While not considered an elite athlete, he tested well, scoring an 8.69 relative athletic score, and showed that on film as he cut off speed rushers off the edge.

39. Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State

Azareye'h Thomas enters the 2025 draft coming off a season in which he allowed a 50.2 passer rating while in coverage and shutting out his assignment to reach the endzone. Thomas has that size/speed combination that teams love when looking for boundary corners.

Thomas also has a knack for recognizing routes before they develop, allowing him to make the correct read and make a break on the ball. While he doesn't have elite long speed, he makes up for that with exceptional ball skills and length.

38. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Quinshon Judkins is a big back who runs with violent intentions whenever he touches the ball. He is a throwback, as he has the prototypical frame of a workhorse back and wears defenders down as the game progresses. Not only does Judkins bring the thunder, but he also brings the lightning, as he is one of the more explosive running backs in this class.

Judkins broke out as a freshman, running for 1,567 yards and averaging 5.7 yards with Ole Miss. Judkins forged his way into the endzone on 16 occasions in that Freshman season. In the National Championship game, Notre Dame did not have an answer for the bruising back as he averaged 9.1 yards per carry, which capped his performance off with a pair of touchdowns and 100 yards on the ground. That explosiveness was displayed again at The Combine, running a 4.48 40-yard time and an 11-foot broad jump.

37. Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Tyler Booker's skill set projects him as a future Pro Bowl guard. Booker is always looking to get a body on someone. The former Alabama guard anchors down and eats up contact, making moving from his spot difficult. In the run game, he looks to stack up blocks, often driving his original defender into a linebacker in the second level. If you want to have a power run game, draft Booker.

Looking at the measurables among the interior line prospects, Booker checks in with the second-longest wingspan, and while he didn't have the best Combine performance, his 10-yard split showed scouts enough. Booker will be penciled in as a starting guard when he hears his name called in Green Bay.

36. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Teams looking for a true threat after the catch need to move Emeka Egbuka up their big boards. Egbuka projects to be a big slot receiver in the NFL thanks to his quick release, physicality, and ability to work through traffic to find soft spots, especially against zone coverage. Egbuka also has a baseball background, and it shows. Egbuka tracks the ball extremely well and makes the much-needed adjustments with the ball in the air, much like he did when he played centerfield.

That yard-after-the-catch ability is what separates Egbuka from his peers. Throughout his career, Egbuka averaged 6.6 yards after the catch per reception. When it comes to contested catches, Egbuka showed off his strong hands and completed his collegiate career with a 54.3% contested catch success rate.

35. Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State

Most of these offensive linemen inside the top 50 offer versatility to play multiple positions along the line. Donovan Jackson's inclusion is no different. While Jackson has the ideal size and strength to succeed at guard, the former Buckeye kicked outside and provided some much-needed relief when his number was called, despite playing out of position. Jackson is comfortable in any scheme and does an excellent job in anchoring pass protection and sealing off the backside in the run game.

34. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

Production matters. The only running back to finish with more than 1,000 rushing yards and 250 receiving yards while averaging more than 7.0 yards per carry last season was TreVeyon Henderson of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Henderson ran for more than 1,000 yards on just 145 carries. Henderson doesn't need much to play a major role in any contest in which he suits up.

We've seen that he is explosive (watch the playoff game against Texas), we've seen that he is more than capable of running the ball inside the tackles, and he can also get to the edge and go for a long run at any given moment, we've also witnessed his worth in the passing game. Henderson will earn his touches, thanks to his excellent pass protection and the fact that he protects the ball as well as any back in this class. Henderson has just one fumble in 666 touches.

33. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Malaki Starks is an aggressive safety who can step up and play some nickel when the opportunity presents itself. Teams will want to bring Starks inside the box as he is aggressive and willing to participate in the run game. That aggressiveness is a double-edged sword for Starks, whose gambling tendencies have gotten the better of him a time or two in coverage situations.

Starks has produced 50 or more tackles in his three seasons at Georgia, capping his career off with 77 last season. Thanks to his versatility and playmaking ability, Starks will be a welcomed addition to any NFL team. If a defensive coordinator learns to trust Starks's instincts as much as he does, it could unlock a whole new level to his game.

32. Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo

Stop if you have heard this before. This defensive line class is deep. Darius Alexander would easily be considered among the top five in any other class in his position. Alexander has the talent to still be remembered as one of the top defensive tackles selected, thanks in part to the combination of size, athleticism, and length he brings.

Alexander is versatile enough to align anywhere along the defensive front and took some reps rushing from the edge during his tenure at Toledo. Alexander even had a pick-six against Pittsburgh when he dropped back into coverage.

31. Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M

Nic Scourton is another excellent edge prospect in a deep defensive line draft. Scourton has plenty of athletic ability, but the one trait you don't often hear about is his ability to process plays quickly. He does an excellent job setting the edge and pushing the pocket. For a player of his stature, Scourton is extremely agile.

Scourton also already has a diverse bag of tricks, from bull rushes to inside spins to rips/chops, that he uses not only when targeting opposing quarterbacks but also to shed blocks and get involved in the run game
