Field Yates 2025 NFL Draft Big Board: Updated Top 32 Rankings After Super Bowl 59

Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter led the way in the newest 2025 NFL draft big board from ESPN's Field Yates.

Yates ranked Hunter ahead of Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter, though he said "it's a coin flip for the top player in the class" between the pair.

Here's the rest of his top 10:

Field Yates 2025 NFL Draft Big Board—Top 10

1. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

2. Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

3. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

4. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

5. Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia

6. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

7. Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

8. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

9. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

10. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

On Hunter, Yates wrote he "has rare versatility and legitimate upside to be a top player as a wide receiver or cornerback." Given the physical demands of playing in the NFL, Hunter will likely have to pick one position over the other, though.

Yates said he's looking at the Heisman Trophy winner primarily as a corner, which is where he's also listed on Bleacher Report's 2025 big board.

Especially without one quarterback standing out from the pack, the Tennessee Titans could plausibly kick off the 2025 draft by taking Hunter first overall.

The same could be said for Carter going in that spot after he totaled 12 sacks and 24 tackles for loss as a junior with the Nittany Lions.

"He has an elite first step and can bend the edge extremely well," Yates wrote. "… I love his acceleration off the edge, which will lead to many game-wrecking moments in the NFL."

Pointing to the Philadelphia Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Carter made his case to go No. 1:

When it comes to the quarterbacks, Miami's Cam Ward was 12th on Yates' big board. Colorado's Shedeur Sanders was next at No. 19 and was the only other QB to crack the top 32.

"The top-ranked quarterback on my board is the best innovator in this year's class," Yates said. "Ward—a strong-armed, mobile and experienced player—often turns nothing into something. His decision-making early in games put Miami in some deficits this season, but his overall poise and fearlessness in key moments is unmistakable."

Because quarterback is the most valuable position on the field and the Titans desperately need one this offseason, Ward is arguably the likeliest candidate for the first overall pick.

The Hurricanes star was the choice for Tennessee in B/R's newest mock, which dropped Monday. Carter went second overall to the Cleveland Browns, and Sanders followed at No. 3 to the New York Giants.

Whether Hunter or Carter can overtake Ward as the consensus favorite for the Titans is one of the bigger questions to be answered over the coming weeks.
