Todd McShay Drops 150 Big Board Prospect Rankings with Grades for 2025 NFL Draft

NFL draft expert Todd McShay unveiled his updated big board with the top 150 prospect rankings and grades on Thursday's episode of The McShay Show.

Unsurprisingly, the consensus top two players in this year's draft class were perched atop McShay's list, with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Both players received a grade of 95.

Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham (94), Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty (93) and Penn State tight end Tyler Warren (93) rounded out the top five.

Miami's Cam Ward was the only quarterback ranked in the top 15, coming in at No. 6 with a grade of 92. McShay said he's ranked Colorado's Shedeur Sanders at No. 19 "for a while now," and he made it clear that he's not convinced the signal-caller will be hearing his name called early in the first round.

"For the first time in this entire process dating back to our very first show on October 22nd, I truly believe Shedeur Sanders is not gonna be a top five pick," McShay said at the 11:48 mark.

The Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants own the top three picks and all need a franchise quarterback. However, if the Titans pick Ward at No. 1, the Browns and Giants could bypass the chance to land Sanders and opt for a blue-chip prospect like Carter or Hunter.

The 2025 NFL draft is just a few weeks away on April 25, and it appears that the first round will be full of surprises as teams choose between a talented crop of prospects.
