Todd McShay NFL Draft Big Board 2025: Top 100 Prospect Rankings Set amid Free Agency

NFL draft expert Todd McShay revealed his latest big board Thursday ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.

On The McShay Show (beginning at the 39:25 mark), McShay ran down his top-15 prospects and also discussed other tidbits from his top-100 big board, which can be seen in its entirety with a subscription to The McShay Report.

McShay's top 15 about six weeks out from the draft are as follows:

1. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

2. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

3. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

4. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

5. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

6. Cam Ward, QB, Miami

7. Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

8. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

9. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

10. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

11. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

12. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

13. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

14. Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

15. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

There weren't many surprising revelations near the top of McShay's big board, as Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter have seemingly settled in as the top two players in the class in the eyes of most experts.

McShay also has Miami's Cam Ward as his top quarterback at No. 6 overall, and all signs point toward him being the first signal-caller off the board.

Overall, McShay placed four quarterbacks in his top 32, including Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, who is the No. 2 quarterback on his big board.

However, McShay noted that he believes there is a bigger gap between Ward and Sanders than there is between Sanders and his Nos. 3 and 4 quarterbacks.

McShay ranked Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart as the No. 31 player on his board, which isn't particularly shocking, but he will undoubtedly raise some eyebrows with his decision to rank Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough at No. 32 overall.

Shough is viewed by most as a mid-to-late-round pick, but McShay sees something special in the journeyman who played at Oregon, Texas Tech and Louisville.

Although he is an older quarterback at 25 years of age, Shough is coming off his best collegiate season, throwing for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.

While much of McShay's big board is in line with popular thinking, he is truly going out on a limb with Shough.

Whether NFL teams agree with his assessment will become apparent next month when the 2025 NFL draft is held in Green Bay from April 24-26.
