2025 NFL Draft Big Board: B/R NFL Scouting Dept.'s Latest Rankings

The last couple of weeks before the NFL draft is when things get really interesting because teams are trying to manipulate prospects, other teams and the media.

No one wants anyone else to know what they're doing. But there are clues.

For example, the Tennessee Titans, who own this year's No. 1 overall pick, canceled their predraft visit with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Does that mean Tennessee's front office is completely comfortable with Sanders where it doesn't need the extra interaction? Or, are the Titans already settled on the class' other top quarterback prospect, Miami's Cam Ward?

Part of the process is trying to read the tea leaves and understand what each team really wants to do. Meanwhile, the Bleacher Report Scouting Department continues to put in the work by evaluating the best available talent and providing scouting reports to help determine how the event could fall.

Brandon Thorn: Brandon is the author of the Trench Warfare newsletter, which focuses exclusively on offensive and defensive line evaluation. He also contributes as an analyst to Establish the Run and serves as the scouting coordinator for OL Masterminds.

Dame Parson: Dame is the lead host of the Locked On NFL Draft podcast. He also spent three years as a senior draft analyst for The Draft Network while evaluating draft prospects as the founder of The Scouting Room.

Cory Giddings: Cory currently serves as the assistant director of player personnel for the North Carolina Tar Heels. In recent years, he contributed as part of the B/R Scouting Department, with a concentration on the secondary.

Matt Holder: Matt played college football, worked in college recruiting and is a Scouting Academy graduate. He has covered the NFL draft since 2019 and writes about the Las Vegas Raiders for SB Nation's Silver and Black Pride.

Brent Sobleski: Brent serves as an NFL analyst for Bleacher Report. He's covered the draft for multiple outlets since the 2004 class, including 11 seasons with B/R.

Explain the Grade: Dillon Gabriel, Oregon

Gabriel is an effective quarterback and projects as an NFL backup. He excels in the quick passing game, especially with RPO concepts. Gabriel is an accurate passer in the short and intermediate areas, but the 5'11", 205-pound passer doesn't possess the physical build or tools to be a long-term starter in most NFL offenses.

Explain the Grade:  TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State

Henderson is a skilled and athletic running back prospect with three-down value. He is a near-elite pass protector. He is also an explosive playmaker in space. He's not an ideal fit in every scheme, though. Henderson's perfect fit is within a West Coast, wide-zone scheme, where he can be a productive and impactful NFL ball-carrier.

33. Konata Mumpfield, Pittsburgh (5.9)
34. Jordan Watkins, Ole Miss (5.9)

Explain the Grade:  Dont'e Thornton Jr., Tennessee

Thornton is a clear example of what it means to be a height-weight-speed draft prospect. A receiver with his frame (6'5", 205 lbs) and elite long speed (4.3-second 40-yard dash) will always have interest among the NFL ranks. Thornton can take the top of a defense, offers RAC potential and provides some physicality as a run-blocker. But he has a developmental curve. Right now, Thornton is the perfect draft-and-develop explosive weapon.

15. Jackson Hawes, Georgia Tech (6.0)
16. Ben Yurosek, Georgia (5.9)

Explain the Grade: Jake Briningstool, Clemson

Briningstool is among the class' best pure receiving tight ends. Clemson's big-bodied target is a smooth mover and route-runner. He wins single-coverage reps consistently at every level of the field. He has a good catch radius and ball skills to be a reliable red-zone target.

Briningstool is a coachable prospect and should improve as a run-blocker with proper coaching.

17. Jack Nelson, Wisconsin (6.1)
18. Bryce Cabeldue, Kansas (5.9)

Explains the Grade: Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College

Trapilo is a three-year starter inside Boston College's run-heavy, multiple scheme. He brings a polished, well-rounded skill set that should allow him to compete for a starting right tackle job early in his NFL career.

With a firm understanding and grasp of footwork, timing, and positioning in a variety of run concepts and an upward trajectory in his anchor as a pass protector, Trapilo brings shades of the Los Angeles Rams starting right tackle Rob Havenstein, only with more burst and twitch in his movements.

Trapilo may not have a very high ceiling due to some stiffness in his redirect and recovery skills as a pass protector. But he brings a high enough floor to stick as a solid-level starter for multiple contracts.

Explain the Grade: Dylan Fairchild, Georgia

Fairchild caught some by surprise with his early draft declaration due to the clear rawness and rough patches in his game that result in some glaring losses on film. Flashes of elite-level power allow him to grow on you the more you study him play.

Fairchild provides shades of Cleveland Browns right guard Wyatt Teller when he was in a similar position coming out of Virginia Tech before being drafted in the fifth round and turning into an All-Pro. Teller did get to develop under an all-time great line coach in Bill Callahan, which isn't guaranteed for Fairchild. However, the incoming prospect's physical traits are enticing enough to warrant an early Day 3 selection with a viable pathway toward becoming a high-end starter.

Explain the Grade: Jordan Phillips, Maryland

Phillips was a high school wrestler and weightlifter. That shows up on film with his ability to take on double-teams and serve as a gap-filler against the run.

The former Terrapin is a work-in-progress as a pass-rusher, with no sacks at the collegiate level, but he shows some athletic traits and potential to grow in that area. Also, he turned some heads with his performance in the one-on-ones during the East-West Shrine Bowl to be worthy of a Day 2 selection.

Explain the Grade: Bradyn Swinson, LSU

Swinson seems to have gained some steam as a potential second-round pick. However, B/R currently grades him as a high fourth-round prospect.

The LSU product had a strong campaign in 2024, but he is a one-year wonder who has average-to-above-average traits as a pass-rusher and needs work as a run defender. Considering he's an older prospect as a fifth-year senior, he's more likely to become a role player than game-changer at the next level.

15. Jackson Woodard, UNLV (5.9)
16. Kobe King, Penn State (5.9)

Explain the Grade: Chris Paul Jr., Ole Miss

Paul has the potential to become a quality coverage linebacker at the NFL level. He has good eyes in zone coverage, can click-and-close to prevent yards after the catch and has shown the ability to cover tight ends man-to-man. His performance against LSU and Mason Taylor stood out from this past season.

The Ole Miss product needs to add some size and strength to be better against the run, but he's physical with the ability to slip blocks to develop into a complete backer.

31. O'Donnell Fortune, South Carolina (5.8)
32. Zah Frazier, UTSA (5.8)

Explain the Grade: Jacob Parrish, Kansas State

Parrish was an outside corner at Kansas State but will likely be forced to move inside at the next level, primarily due to his size (5'10", 191 lbs). However, he should make a seamless transition as a feisty defensive back who is a willing run-defender. He has all of the traits to be a successful nickelback in the NFL and will be a quality middle-round pick for some team.

Explain the Grade:  Sebastian Castro, Iowa

Castro is a versatile, team-first defensive prospect. He has played in multiple positions for Iowa's defense—safety, linebacker and nickel. Castro is a physically tough tackler in space with good instincts to drive downhill to the football. His poor testing numbers did raise eyebrows, though he plays quicker than his combine testing due to good football IQ and instincts.
