2025 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Top 100 Players

Matthew Golden - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Draft

Chris's rankings and analysis of the top 100 prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. His top prospect rankings and notes of the top 100 rookies for the 2025 NFL Draft.

As we enter the stretch run of the NFL Draft, with the big event just a few days away, every draft analyst and fan is preparing their final ranking or wish list. We here at Rotoballer are no different.

In this piece, you will find my final prospect rankings before the NFL Draft gets underway. Understand that every prospect on this list received at least six full games of film study and analysis. That is in addition to the analysis of their cutups, pre-draft drills, and advanced metrics. I consider all of these factors in my ranks, but none more than the analysis of full-game film.

The standards for this list vary, as with any subjective analysis. However, one thing to understand is that I typically value upside more than injury risk or a safe floor. I also factor character concerns into my ranks more than some do. So, do not be surprised if I rank some injury-riddled players high while dropping low-ceiling or poor character assets.

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

 

Top 100 NFL Draft Prospects For 2025

1: Abdul Carter, DE/LB, Penn State

Some talk about Carter’s injuries like they are a long-term concern, but all indications are they aren’t. If anything, the fact that Carter played Notre Dame while clearly favoring his injured shoulder, often hanging it limply while fighting with one arm, is a testament to his toughness and skill. With just one arm, he collected seven pressures against the No. 2 team in the nation.

2: Travis Hunter, DB/WR, Colorado

Hunter remains the top receiver and cornerback on my board, with the freaky endurance and intelligence to play 60-70 percent of his team’s snaps at both positions if an NFL coach will let him. Where Hunter will end up depends entirely on the team that drafts him, but if he lands in Cleveland or New England, he will likely become a top-flight wide receiver.

3: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Michigan's defensive leader has incredibly violent hands, which he uses regularly to create separation and defeat interior blockers. He utilizes almost every pass-rush move there is, fights through the whistle, and never gets complacent when shedding blockers. There is no ceiling to how strong he can be in run support, and he could average eight sacks per year on top of that.

4: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Everyone is familiar with Jeanty at this point. His tremendous contact balance is the Broncos' best trait, which is well documented. He's also shifty in the hole, flashes breakaway speed, and has soft hands as a receiver. However, those saying Jeanty is a "good blocker" need to rewatch the tape. He's a willing blocker but lacks the size to take on many pass rushers or linebackers.

5: Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia

While the top four players on this list (all blue-chip prospects) can thrive in any scheme or situation, Walker's range of outcomes varies widely based on his use. That is the sole reason Walker is not a blue chip for me and the No. 5 prospect on this board.

Walker’s potential as a LEO or 3-4 outside linebacker is immense, as he could average double-digit sacks and make an impact against the run. His potential as a pure 4-3 defensive end is much more volatile, given his lack of ideal length and size for that position. As for a traditional MIKE role? It’s something he can do, but it would waste his pass rush upside.

6: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Warren is the last borderline blue-chipper on this list, though a healthy Josh Simmons would join him. Warren's blocking is underrated, if inconsistent. He's extremely tough, versatile, breaks many tackles, makes contested catches, and will do anything his coaches need. The floor with this prospect is so high, but the ceiling isn’t low either.

7: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

Green led college football in sacks, including one against Ohio State that was accompanied by multiple pressures. He also put up numerous dominant snaps at the Senior Bowl, proving his speed-to-power profile is elite. The primary questions on Green are his lack of top-end competition and off-field concerns dating back to his time at Virginia.

8: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Simmons is the most athletic and physically gifted offensive tackle in this class when healthy; of that, I have little doubt. His 2024 tape improved on all the concerns I had in 2023, while maintaining the movement skills intact. The only questions about this Buckeye are his health and attitude. If those weren’t issues, he would be the easy pick at No. 4 for the New England Patriots.

9: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

With 34-inch arms and superb explosion numbers from the Combine, there’s little doubt Membou can stay at offensive tackle in the NFL. Some wonder if he can move to left tackle, though. He is arguably the safest true offensive tackle in this class, as his health isn't in question, and he's a better bet to stick at the position than Will Campbell.

10: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Ward can generate easy velocity from a variety of angles and off-platform. He also shows plenty of zip on tight-window throws, can lob the ball as deep as you need, is effortlessly creative, and has upper-tier mobility. That said, Ward is careless with the football and needs to learn when to throw the ball away. He has the physical ability to become a top-10 quarterback, though.

11: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Loveland is the best pure receiving tight end in this class, as a smooth operator in open space and on the boundary. He has a long frame, strong hands, and is comfortable playing from the slot or out wide. Teams who want a Travis Kelce-type of tight end may even prefer Loveland over Warren, while those prioritizing blocking and versatility will prefer Warren.

12: Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M

I am traditionally the low man on athletic but unproductive pass-rush prospects like K’Lavon Chaisson, Arden Key, Barkevious Mingo, etc. Stewart is different, though. He is already a strong run defender who pushes the pocket and shows good read/react ability on screens. If he ever learns to use his length to separate quickly, his pressure rate could translate to double-digit sacks.

13: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

I still question the moments on film where McMillan phones in a block or a route when the play design is away from him. However, I have a few doubts about his hands or size translating in the NFL. The worst-case scenario for him is a No. 2 receiver who acts as a massive red zone threat. His ceiling is that of a Mike Evans-like leading man.

14: Will Campbell, OL, LSU

Short arms are not a death sentence for offensive tackles unless they show up on film. With Campbell, they show up more than some admit, particularly on his Texas A&M and South Carolina tape. I worry about that and his power issues, but Campbell does have the athleticism and technique to grow into a capable left tackle or guard in time.

15: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

Walter Nolen plays with a tremendous motor and quickness off the snap. Too often, he puts himself off balance, trying to do too much too fast, but his ability to get into the inside of guards and centers before they are out of their stance is special. He knows how to cut blockers in half and keep them from lining up against him.

16: Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas

Barron played outside corner for Texas last year, winning the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back as a result. However, his best film is inside at slot, and he also looks good at safety. That indicates that Barron can play multiple positions very well and may be best suited for a STAR role in a defense that wants to utilize him creatively.

17: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Campbell is reportedly recovering from a torn labrum and plays a devalued position as a standup linebacker. However, his film is that of a top-15 pick if positional value and injuries are factored out. He has the range to chase receivers from behind, good length, discipline in zone coverage, and routinely makes plays behind or at the line of scrimmage.

18: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Williams produced dominant tape against Texas but not many others. He is long with good size and bend, plus he's scheme versatile. With that said, the Bulldog was not productive in college, and his testing numbers are not what some had hoped. Whether that lack of production was related to an injury he struggled with all year is up for debate, making him a Pandora’s box of talent.

19: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Starks is the best run-defending defensive back in this class, with good instincts in containment and well-above-average tackling skills. He has the size and length to spend plenty of time in the box, plus his tape from 2023 showed good ball skills and recognition in coverage. He didn't look like a dynamic deep safety this year, dropping him out of my top 20.

20: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Banks plays with good awareness and tested well during the pre-draft process. After 42 games at Texas, it's also no surprise that he displays a strong understanding of assignments and good recognition in blitz pickup. Banks profiles as a sturdy left tackle with solid movement skills and a high floor.

21: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Johnson has tremendous instincts and ball skills that consistently show up on film. He is also a threat to score whenever he has the ball in his hands. Unfortunately, Johnson missed most of this year due to a foot injury, and his testing numbers at his private workout were as poor as some had feared. He also didn't show much as a tackler or run defender in his 2024 tape.

22: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

A thick and powerfully built rusher, Hampton displayed good long speed and a solid jump cut at North Carolina. He also has the frame and anchor to help with blitz pickup, along with thick and powerful legs that dominate in short-yardage situations. Hampton is ideally suited for a gap-heavy offensive scheme but can thrive in most setups.

23: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Harmon has a wide body that frequently clogs the lane, but he isn’t just a run stuffer or “clogger.” The Oregon product was also college football’s top interior pass rusher, according to almost every metric. While Harmon’s film doesn’t necessarily scream double-digit sack potential like Walter Nolen’s does, he is an effective and consistent performer with a solid floor.

24: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Count me among those who didn’t quite see the 4.29 blazing speed on Golden’s tape. The Longhorn did show butter-smooth movement skills and good burst out of his breaks, though. If his 40-time is to be trusted, Golden could have WR1 potential in the right offense.

25: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Egbuka is a highly polished, professional, and versatile receiver who excels in almost everything. While he won’t blow you over with his speed, athleticism, or highlight reel plays, he is one of the safest prospects in this entire class. The tenured Buckeye has the traits to do a good Cooper Kupp impersonation in a Sean McVay-style scheme.

26: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee

Pearce has supreme athleticism, leading all defensive linemen at the Combine in the 40-yard dash and 10-yard split. He also shows a surprising bull rush and has good length. With that said, his lack of weight/muscle could mean he wears down quickly as a 4-3 end, which may be why Tennessee frequently rotated him off the field. There are also reported maturity concerns.

27: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Morrison has elite ball skills, fluid hips, and is aggressive in both man coverage and run support. No one guarded Marvin Harrison Jr. in college better than Morrison did. That said, Morrison lost track of the ball more often in 2024 than in 2023. Worse, he has had two hip injuries, which can be career-killers for cornerbacks.

28: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Dart’s stock in this class is rising, with the USC transfer passing Shedeur Sanders in these ranks. While Sanders is the superior processor with better accuracy, Dart is the better athlete with a stronger arm. Dart is also no slouch in terms of throwing with anticipation and toughness, though there are concerns about whether he will develop as a processor in a more complex scheme.

29: Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State

The absolute best player during Senior Bowl practice sessions was Zabel. While he won't stay at the left tackle spot in the NFL, he's a versatile blocker with a low center of gravity who plays with good leverage. He is the top guard and center prospect in this class while offering his next team the flexibility to swing him outside to tackle in an emergency.

30: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Shedeur Sanders is an accurate and intelligent quarterback capable of achieving what Brock Purdy has accomplished in San Francisco. However, Sanders’ arm strength isn’t good enough to make big throws in poor weather games, and his feel for pressure is surprisingly poor. Remember, he created more pressure for himself than any other NCAA passer last year.

31: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

No pass catcher in this class is better with the ball in their hands than Burden, and he occasionally flashes the ability to make incredible catches. However, his production declined this year without much explanation, and there are reports of concerns regarding his off-field attitude. Those attitude reports line up with what he showed on film against Boston College and Alabama.

32: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Booker has a strong anchor and a thick frame that makes him nearly impossible to bully or push into the pocket. He’s a strong player who sinks his hips and latches on with strong hands. However, Booker is not an elite mover, and he can struggle with delayed blitzes and pass rushers who get into his shoulders. The Alabama product is best suited for a gap-heavy scheme.

33: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Judkins is at his best when running over or through the competition. Arm and diving tackles rarely bring him down, and his stiff arm is vicious. With that said, Judkins does display adequate pass protection skills and solid hands, which suggests he can become a three-down back in the NFL.

34: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

While Henderson is RB4 on this list, he is the best passing downs back in this class. Despite his lack of ideal weight, Henderson absorbs pass rushers and redirects them well. He also has plenty of breakaway speed and soft hands. It would come as no surprise if a few teams who prioritize speed and pass blocking from their running backs have this Buckeye as their RB1.

35: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

An uber-long safety, Emmanwori showed elite speed and athleticism this season. The athleticism on tape is backed up by his testing numbers, which are off the charts for a player his size. The Gamecock has the frame and instincts of a linebacker but the speed of a receiver. The primary question is whether his stiff hips and inconsistent reads will make him a liability in coverage.

36: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Grant has the potential to be a game-wrecking nose tackle on the level of Dexter Lawrence. You rarely see players of that size become impactful pass rushers, yet Lawrence has done it, and Grant can, too. The former Wolverine takes too many plays off on film, which could be related to his massive frame.

37: Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

Three things have forced Revel down boards: his slight frame, lack of elite college competition, and the torn ACL he suffered this year. The other questions do not concern me if the ACL is cleared during pre-draft checks. Against Michigan, Revel shut down a top draft pick (Loveland), stood up Donovan Edwards at the goal line, and showed elite quickness.

38: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Conerly is a project tackle with the potential to become the best pass blocker in this class, with the proper development and strength program. He’s shown he can adjust on the fly while exhibiting high-end movement and mirroring skills. However, the Duck remains undersized and underpowered. He also has to work on his mental lapses and breakdowns in assignments.

39: Jack Bech, WR, TCU

The Senior Bowl MVP continues to be underrated by NFL Draft and fantasy analysts alike, but he remains one of my favorite prospects in this class. While he may not have elite straight-line speed, he shows enough burst to get open deep and is creative in creating separation on short and intermediate routes. Bech's hands are also arguably the best in this wide receiver class.

40: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

Amos has the ideal length as an outside corner, and his performance at the Combine should answer any questions about his speed. He has a smooth backpedal and fluid gate when turning to run with a receiver. He's also one of the best tackling cornerbacks in this class, a quality that is in short supply this year.

41: Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College

Ezeiruaku is a polished pass rusher with very good bend and movement around the outside. That bend and finesse helped him finish second in the FBS in sacks this year. However, he struggles against the run and falls short of the top edge rushers in this class in terms of pure strength and height.

42: Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M

Scourton has a solid frame with a little wiggle to it. He utilizes a good head fake and spin move, and flashes the ability to quickly get on the inside shoulder of tackles. The Purdue transfer was particularly effective against one of the top blockers in this class, Will Campbell. Scourton and his teammate, Stewart, both abused Campbell in their matchup with LSU this season.

43: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Taylor is a lot like Egbuka in that he does everything very well but is short on the proverbial "wow factor." He has reliable hands that can win contested catches and wrangle poor throws. He has a good size and height, which he uses to create separation and hold up as a run blocker. He’s quick, agile, and shouldn’t ever have to come off the field.

44: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Arroyo is an athletic tight end who can beat cornerbacks deep and line up outside. He’s also got a mean streak as a blocker, though that mean streak doesn’t always translate into consistent and effective blocks. The Hurricane does have a noteworthy injury history that drops him out of first-round consideration, but his big play upside is the best in this tight end class.

45: Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State

Winston has ideal length, a smooth backpedal, and he flips his hips like a natural cornerback in man coverage. He also isn't afraid to mix things up in run support, displaying the range to close on the run from the deep safety spot or fight in the scrum. The only thing keeping him from contending for the top safety spot in this class is a torn ACL that stole his 2024 season.

46: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State

Williams is an immovable object against the run and an ideal nose tackle in the NFL. He can play in the center or shade outside, depending on the needs of the play or scheme. The Buckeye can also help collapse the pocket on passing downs, though many teams may rotate him out on obvious passing downs.

47: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State

Jackson plays with plus movement, good knee bend, and solid leverage. He also showed the ability to hold up at left tackle this past season, though guard remains his most natural and obvious position. Jackson is third amongst offensive guards on my board, but should be second (ahead of Booker) for zone teams that require a lot of movement from their blockers.

48: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Higgins is a big-bodied receiver who is adept at making contested catches. His athletic testing numbers during the pre-draft process have also been surprisingly good, given he can appear a bit lumbering at times on film. Higgins dispelled concerns I had about his deep-ball skills and ability to shake coverage at the Senior Bowl, where he was quicker and more elusive than expected.

49: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

I’m the low man on Hairston, and it’s obvious why. The traits of a special corner are there with the Wildcat. He has long arms, plenty of speed and agility, and he nabbed five interceptions in 2023. My issues are that he is an ankle biter as a tackler, his thin frame is prone to injuries (which he has had), and I see him out of position too often for a cover guy who doesn’t tackle well.

50: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA

Schwesinger misses some tackles and guesses wrong on occasion. A team will have to live with those flaws to benefit from his high-end playmaking. The UCLA product plays with a high motor and can impact the game in coverage, as a pass rusher, and as a run defender.

51: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

A long-limbed track star with the speed to catch up to Kaleb Johnson from across the field, Porter reportedly has extremely high character and is an asset on special teams. You'd like to see him add a little muscle, and there are questions about why he didn't see more time on defense until this year, but he's a freaky athlete who tracked the ball well in coverage this year.

52: Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo

Alexander has experience playing inside and out, but a man of his size is best suited as a 3-tech in a base defense or a 5-tech in a 3-4 system. Given his big frame, Alexander plays with better leverage than expected. However, his power and ability to collapse or occupy blockers are precisely what you'd expect.

53: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Ersery is a mammoth tackle with solid movement skills and a good homing system on next-level blocks. Despite his size, the former Gopher is better on passing downs and zone runs than on gap runs. He can also struggle with speed or defenders who get under his pads, which could be an issue given his height and lack of ideal bend.

54: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

Parrish had some of the best testing numbers of anyone at the Combine. He has excellent top-end speed, good timing, and burst as a blitzer, and is effective in press coverage despite being somewhat undersized. Parrish also flips his hips well, though his change of direction can sometimes be a bit stilted. People are sleeping on this nickel corner's potential NFL impact.

55: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

Watts has plus-reaction and read skills in coverage, putting himself into position to bait a quarterback or collect on a bad throw. His footwork isn’t always crisp, he can play tight, and he isn’t among the top athletes in this safety class. However, he is one of the smarter defensive backs in this class and can help a defense in a variety of ways.

56: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State

The big plays are lacking for Thomas, who had just one interception and four pass breakups in 2024. He also lacks elite speed. However, the Seminole does have an ideal size and length, which he utilizes in press coverage. He is also aggressive and capable in run support, displays a powerful jam at the line, and trails receivers with fluidity.

57: Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU

Another long-armed edge rusher with good athleticism but not a ton of power, Swinson is raw but instinctive. He makes plenty of plays with his length and anticipation, but he could become a true force if he refined his handwork and countermoves. Swinson is best suited as a standup edge in a 3-4 scheme, so his slimmer frame holds up better.

58: Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA

Oladejo was my Defensive Riser of the Week during the Senior Bowl, as he displayed a surprising burst, along with ideal length and size. He also showed leadership, breaking up a scrum during drills and regularly encouraging teammates. As a converted standup linebacker, Oladejo could be just scratching the surface of his pass-rush potential.

59: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

Sanders is long and sudden, stunts well, separates with violent club and swim moves, and showed well during Senior Bowl drills. He has quick hands that shoot under offensive linemen, moving them off the ball in the run game and tossing them out of the way on passing downs. However, he must work on his snap timing and flexibility/leverage.

60: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

Noel's lack of size would have been a concern a few years ago, but small receivers have found ways to win in today's softer NFL. This Cyclone has quick feet and enough speed to be a deep threat, but he doesn't just win with speed. He also shows the ability to set defenders up with double moves, and he utilizes his diminutive frame to get small when working through crowds.

61: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

Jackson is another long edge rusher in this class with burst, good length, but a lack of power or consistency. While some see the Arkansas product as a good fit as a 5-tech in a traditional 3-4 scheme, his length and build suggest he is better suited as a standup pass rusher at the next level.

62: Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College

Trapilo is almost too tall at 6-foot-8, but his arm length is adequate, and his demeanor is nasty. He is always looking to hit somebody. While he doesn't have the athleticism to swing outside on screens, he is a dynamo on combo blocks and absorbs power well despite playing too high. Trapilo can start at right tackle for most teams, though he's best suited for a power scheme.

63: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss

Umanmielen has an attractive combination of size and speed, but he isn't the kind of athlete who will win in the NFL without improving his polish and plan. The ceiling is high if a defensive line coach can help Umanmielen improve his hand work, utilize his length and power more effectively, and develop a pass rush plan… and the floor is relatively low if that doesn’t happen.

64: Jared Wilson, C, Georgia

Wilson lacks ideal size or experience, but he’s a tremendous athlete whose testing numbers should get him drafted early in the third round of this year’s class. He shows good instincts in pass protection and is an ideal fit at the center of a zone-heavy offensive scheme. The major gripe on Wilson is his lack of anchor or power, as players like Nolen put him on his back.

65: Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

Collins is yet another strong interior run defender who can push the pocket, a quality this class is rich in. Like Josh Farmer and Tyliek Williams before him, Collins isn't a major threat as a pass rusher so much as he is a stout run stopper and block-eater. He can fit as a 5-tech in a 3-4 scheme or as a nose on a base setup.

66: Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee

Sampson won't run through defenders who hit him head-on, and he won't likely be a regular goal-line back in the NFL, nor is he an imposing pass blocker. However, he is an incredibly creative runner with the speed to break the long one. Sampson has enough power to run through arm tackles, can get small in the hole, and regularly spins or jukes out of contact.

67: Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State

A bowling ball of a player, Skattebo reminds me of Javonte Williams before a knee injury sapped Williams' athleticism. Skattebo isn't a burner with true breakaway speed, but he exploits small gaps, and no one can tackle him below the waist. He's also a capable receiver, though he drops his head and blindly throws himself as a blocker… which is one way to do it.

68: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville

Shough has a big arm and a tall frame. He’s also got plenty of experience, adequate straight-line speed, good character, and he’s deceptively mobile for his size. The Oregon transfer also has a significant injury history. He is on the older side, but he’s an underrated prospect with the upside of an adequate NFL starter and the floor of a quality backup like Mason Rudolph.

69: Jared Ivey, DL, Ole Miss

Ivey is an extremely tall and long defender who gets his hands into passing lanes frequently. He also utilizes his length well, particularly when he's rushing from the inside. If Ivey is strong enough to stay inside or at 5-tech, he would be a high-quality starter. Interior blockers struggle for answers with Ivey's use of his length and balance.

70: Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan

Stewart is an undersized edge best suited for a 3-4 scheme. He has a quick first step and active hands, though he doesn't regularly use them with a calculated plan. The former Wolverine flashes at times in run support, but odds are he will be a situational pass rusher early in his career. Stewart can become more if he adds weight and power without sacrificing speed.

71: J.T. Tuimoloau, DE, Ohio State

Tuimoloau is another powerful defensive end who shows above-average hand work, using a quick swipe move to avoid being locked down or a stack-and-shed move against lighter tackles. However, he profiles as a sturdy but unspectacular edge because he doesn't possess ideal agility or bend, and many of his big plays in college were a team effort rather than individual dominance.

72: Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia

Ratledge looks the part of your grinding interior blocker, complete with the mullet and pervert mustache. He plays with a good anchor in run support and is an adequate mover with the size and athleticism to develop into a quality starter in the NFL. He did occasionally struggle with length and athleticism in pass protection, though.

73: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Harris has the ideal size and was very productive on deep routes while at Mississippi. He and Dart connected on several big plays, which has raised Harris’s profile with the fantasy community. There are questions about his separation rates and ability to beat good man coverage, plus he has dealt with injuries, which drops him a bit on this board.

74: DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State

I’m finally putting my money where my mouth is and ranking DJ Giddens over Kaleb Johnson, a very unpopular opinion. Both Giddens and Johnson are bigger backs with big plays on film, but Giddens is the better pure athlete, and he makes more people miss in space, and he displays more patience in allowing his blocks to develop.

75: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

Johnson has a big frame that screams “power back,” yet he plays more like a big-play speedster than he does a chain mover. This is particularly noteworthy because the Hawkeye player's testing numbers are disappointing. While it’s hard not to get excited about a big back who tears off a lot of long runs, remember those big plays came through big holes, and he was stuffed a lot.

76: Shemar Turner, DL, Texas A&M

A true 'tweener, Turner is undersized for the interior and lacks the length to stay outside long-term. However, he shows flashes of special movement and pass rush moves from the 3-tech position, and he spots gaps to slip through with some frequency. Turner is best suited as a passing-down rotational defender on the inside of a 4-3 defense.

77: Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina

Knight has a stout but tall frame that makes him look like a 4-3 defensive end. He moves well for his size and utilizes an intense bull rush, though he is still stiff and lacks ideal change of direction. Knight is also adequate in coverage, though he dives for the legs and misses tackles too often for a player of his strength and size.

78: Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

Williams is a savvy player, demonstrating a keen sense of creases in the defense and the ability to wall off defenders toward the sideline as a blocker. He lacks ideal length, but his hands are above average, and he makes plenty of contested catches. Williams is an underrated member of this class and projects to be a capable WR2 or an elite WR3 at the next level.

79: RJ Harvey, RB, UCF

An undersized runner, Harvey is best suited for an outside zone scheme. He has quick feet, soft hands, and good lateral change of direction. Harvey cuts things outside too often and won’t run over many defensive linemen, but he’s a shifty runner with a stout frame and the ability to become the lead back of an NFL offense if the scheme is right.

80: Jordan Burch, DL, Oregon

Burch has the size to play inside or out in a typical 4-3 scheme, but his ideal fit may be as a 3-technique at the next level. He has above-average length, size, and speed for someone of his build, and attacks on angled stunts very well.

81: Anthony Belton, OT, North Carolina State

Belton is a big boy who showed extremely well during Senior Bowl practices. He projects to eventually become an average starter at right tackle in the pros, with the floor of a high-end swing tackle. In a shallow offensive tackle class, Belton is one of the last players who projects to become a starter at some point.

82: Jack Sawyer, DL, Ohio State

Sawyer is an incredibly high-motor player who made multiple big plays that helped Ohio State win the National Championship. He isn't a speed rusher off the edge and isn't going to beat a lot of tackles outside, though. Instead, he profiles as a dominant run defender who can secure six to eight sacks with power and consistency, much like former Buckeye Sam Hubbard.

83: Elijah Roberts, DL, SMU

Roberts utilizes an effective swipe/swim move, as well as a club move, that he uses to get separation. His pass rush moves work far better on the inside, indicating he’s best used as a 5-tech in a 3-4 scheme, who can shade inside on passing downs and create pressure there. He isn’t likely to collect many sacks, but he can set the edge and make the quarterback uncomfortable on the interior.

84: Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State

A powerful bull-rusher, Farmer isn't likely to get you a ton of sacks or even break free for pressure on the regular. He will consistently push the pocket and force double-teams into a quarterback's lap, though. The former Seminole is also a strong run defender, making him a safe but unsexy power tackle who merits consideration early in the third round.

85: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

One could argue Jalen Milroe leads this quarterback class in arm strength, deep accuracy, mobility, character, and athleticism. Unfortunately, his short and intermediate accuracy borders on intolerable. If he can get his accuracy to just the median, Milroe has the potential to become a Pro Bowl quarterback… but the low odds of that happening have him ranked here.

86: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas

Williams joins Milroe in the “raw upside” zone of this list. The hulking right tackle moves surprisingly well for his size and shows flashes of the nimble feet and hand usage you see in a starting NFL tackle. Unfortunately, Williams needs more polish and time to work on his technique and hands. If he can do that, he could be a quality starter on the right side.

87: Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss

If Paul had an even average length, he would be considered a second-round pick. Unfortunately, his arms are much shorter than is ideal, and that could limit him as a tackler and in pass coverage. However, the length did not hurt Paul in college, as he was one of the most consistent and instinctive tacklers in this class, and his range is better than most linebackers in this group.

88: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

Fannin is a bit undersized to be a true in-line tight end and blocker, meaning he should fill more of a hybrid H-back role in the NFL. He was a prolific receiver in college and put up numbers against impressive competition like Penn State and Texas A&M, so there's hope a creative play caller could find a way to utilize Fannin in various ways.

89: Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

One of the most athletic tight ends in this class, Ferguson can be a starter in an offense that uses him primarily as a slot weapon. He has good size, speed, and hands for his position, but he’s not one of the stronger blockers in this tight end class.

90: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas

Mukuba is an older prospect with lots of experience. His ball skills are tremendous, and he shows good range at the backend, but his tackling skills and presence in the box are not strengths. He projects best as a high safety in a zone scheme.

91: Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville

Gillotte plays with good leverage, often getting under the pads of bigger blockers and driving them back with good leg churn. He also plays with a hot motor and an effective spin move. Gillotte lacks the size or anchor to play an every-down role out of the gate, but he should contribute as a situational pass rusher and potential starter down the line.

92: Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary

In a weak offensive line class, Grant brings the rare combination of size and athleticism that you like to see in a starting left tackle. Those traits will get him drafted highly, even if his anchor against the run and technique need a lot of work. There is potential for him to turn into a Terron Armstead someday, though.

93: Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Helm was a disappointment with his performance at the Combine, but those numbers were skewed by an ankle injury he sustained during the event. On tape, the Longhorn shows good hands and the ability to transition from a receiver to a runner in record time. He is one of the better tight ends in this class, with the ball in his hands.

94: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

Riley isn’t a big help in run support, but he is fast and shows good ball skills. He’s also an asset in the return game, meaning he can help on special teams even if he never translates into a regular contributor on defense.

95: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia

Sanker has a good size, is a solid tackler, and he times his blitzes well. The downside is that he can exhibit hesitation in coverage at times and over-aggressiveness in others. Sanker should immediately become a star on special teams, with the potential of becoming a starting strong safety in time.

96: David Walker, EDGE, Central Arkansas

Walker is another undersized edge who plays with great leverage and surprising power. The stocky edge frequently gets under the pads of bigger linemen and moves them off-center. Walker is a developmental asset; he showed enough at the Senior Bowl to suggest his college production was not just a byproduct of weak competition.

97: Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State

Simon is not the athlete that other linebackers at the top of this class are, nor does he match Nick Martin's range. However, the Buckeye is a sturdy and instinctive player who rarely misses tackles and always finds himself in the right spot. Simon is a clean player who won't cost your team the game.

98: Nickolas Martin, LB, Oklahoma State

Martin has great speed and a powerful frame that can run over blockers. However, he too frequently over-pursues, missing tackles or attacking the wrong gap. In other words, Martin will run through walls … but they are often the wrong walls. With that said, he has the athleticism and dynamite hits to become an impact player if he improves his recognition and tackling.

99: Willie Lampkin, C, North Carolina

Lampkin is woefully undersized, leading many to consider him a late-round pick or undrafted free agent. Perhaps that's what he ends up being, too. The former wrestler plays much bigger than his size, though. Despite his stature, his understanding of angles and how to wrangle defenders gives me hope he will be an outlier and become a starting center in a zone-heavy scheme.

100: Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

Mbow is undersized, and his anchor is weak, which showed up when he moved inside to guard at the Senior Bowl and repeatedly struggled with the power of defensive tackles during drills. However, he is a nimble mover with experience at tackle and guard. A zone-heavy team will likely draft him as a backup who can grow into a starting guard with more muscle.
