2025 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Top 75 Players (Post Free Agency)

Chris Gregory looks at the top 75 prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft as we head near April 24, with notes on what players could help your NFL or fantasy football teams.

With the NFL Draft inching closer and closer, it's worth expanding our list of top prospect rankings in this 2025 class. Our initial rankings list included my top 50 prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, but let's update and expand that list to 75 players, shall we?

Also worth noting, as we inch forward, is the fact that this class is not as “terrible” as some claim. The depth in this class is wildly underrated. While the number of true first-round-caliber prospects is much lower than last year, the number of players with second- and third-round grades is deeper than in many other classes.

As for the foundation of this deep class, the running back position is carrying the load with the richest and deepest class in decades. Additionally, teams looking for help at defensive back, tight end, and defensive line will find quality starters on Day 3. However, the same cannot be said for offensive tackle, making it a first-round priority for those in dire need.

2025 NFL Draft Top 75 Prospects in April

1. Abdul Carter, DE/LB, Penn State

Carter’s get-off, speed, and bend are all special. He also shows tremendous gap discipline and the ability to moonlight in coverage, thanks to his experience as a standup linebacker. However, the former Nittany Lion's most underrated quality is his toughness. Carter visibly favored his injured shoulder for the entirety of the Notre Dame matchup, yet he terrorized it all game long.

2. Travis Hunter, DB/WR, Colorado

Hunter remains the top cornerback prospect on my board, but he's also solidified himself as the top wide receiver in my mind. While there’s debate about what position he should play as a pro, or if he should play both, the Heisman winner’s combination of elite ball skills, speed, intelligence, and dedication assure that he will thrive no matter where he lines up.

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

Ashton Jeanty has an elite contact balance, terrific vision, nimble feet, and hands that draw comparisons to Alvin Kamara. He bounces off defenders, cuts outside, and turns a loss into a touchdown. The only real concerns I have about Jeanty are his pass protection, which is weak, and whether he can handle short-yardage situations against the NFL’s bigger defensive tackles.

5. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Warren is a borderline blue-chip asset as a former quarterback who can do almost anything you ask. He’s an aggressive blocker who can move defenders off the ball, though his hand placement and anchor are inconsistent. Warren is also a punishing runner who makes contested catches, breaks tackles regularly, and has the versatility to maximize Wildcat and trick-play packages.

6. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Simmons is the most agile and athletic tackle in this class when he’s healthy. His 2024 tape was also so clean and dominant that it answered nearly every question I had about him in 2023, including an improved anchor and much less leaning or cheating inside. As of this writing, the only real doubts I have about Simmons thriving in the NFL are injury- and maturity-related.

7. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Membou was too low in my initial rankings, and I don't say that simply because he dominated the combine. As you dig more into his tape, the Missouri product shows impressive power and the ability to mirror. He often drives defenders off the ball in the run game, which helps compensate for the fact that I don't think he looks quite as athletic on tape as he tested.

With 34-inch arms and superb explosion numbers from the combine, there’s little doubt Membou can stay at offensive tackle in the NFL. The question for some will be, can he transition to the left side if need be? Unlike Josh Simmons, who played both right and left tackle in college, Membou has been exclusively used on the right. For some, that is a tough move to make.

8. 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. With that said, Ward's ability to improvise also leads to inconsistent ball placement from off-platform throws, unnecessary pressure, and sailed passes.

9. Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia

Walker can succeed in a variety of roles, including as a standup edge-rusher or a pure interior linebacker. However, his best use would be as an outside linebacker in a hybrid 3-4 scheme, playing all over the formation in a variety of roles. He can rush from the inside on base downs but pin his ears back and rush from the edge on passing downs.

Unfortunately, the concerns about Walker being a potential “tweener” with no true home are legitimate. What makes Walker elite is his explosiveness and pass-rush instincts, yet he lacks the length/size that most prefer in their full-time 4-3 defensive ends. That lack of ideal length is why he is best suited rushing from a standup position.

10. 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 multiple 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.

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 utilize their tight ends more as receivers could even prefer Loveland over Warren, while teams that prioritize blocking from their tight ends will prefer Warren and others.

12. Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M

There are two things that separate Stewart from the slew of unproductive edges I have faded in the past. One is that he is a very strong run defender who, even if his pass rush profile doesn't develop, should become a quality run-stopper in the NFL. The second is the pressure and power he continuously shows on tape, even if it doesn't translate into sacks.

In other words, Stewart is not just a raw set of traits you hope will turn into production. He is a wrecking ball who pushes blockers like Will Campbell around, collapses pockets, and drives quarterbacks into the arms of teammates. I see a lot of former 49er Justin Smith in Stewart’s game, and Smith made a few All-Pro teams just by eating up blockers and pushing pockets.

13. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Johnson has tremendous instincts and ball skills that show up on film routinely. He is also a threat to score whenever he has the ball in his hands, evidenced by his three touchdowns in the past two seasons. There are questions about his durability and speed, though. I also have concerns about his desire and toughness as a tackler, with his 2024 film a concern in this area.

14. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

A video has surfaced of McMillan stating he does not enjoy watching football and only watches film with his position group. The video is reportedly two years old and could just be a flippant comment from a young kid at lunch … or it could mean his low-effort plays on tape, particularly as a blocker or route runner away from the designed play, were symptoms of a bigger problem.

That said, McMillan’s combination of size, length, contested catch ability, and feel for the sideline are special. His ceiling remains that of Mike Evans if he can match Evans’ dedication to the craft. If McMillan can’t do that, then he should find a niche as a team’s second receiver who is primarily used in the red zone and on short-yardage throws.

15. Will Campbell, OL, LSU

Some analysts give Campbell the benefit of the doubt, saying we worry too much about his arm length when his film is “just so good.” And it’s true, some of Campbell’s film is very good … but some of it shows Shemar Stewart and Jared Verse getting into Campbell’s pads and driving him back or Nic Scourton shooting inside where Campbell can’t reach.

With that said, LSU’s top tackle remains one of the more athletic offensive linemen in this class, and he has enough good tape to suggest he can overcome the odds and become a quality left tackle in the right situation. The odds that he has to move inside to guard are simply too high to consider him a guaranteed top-10 pick in this class.

16. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

Walter Nolen is a gambler.

Too often, he will throw himself at odd angles and end up with a lack of leverage or a knee on the ground. However, the Ole Miss product also consistently cuts guards in half by getting to their inside shoulder off the snap, making him nearly impossible to square up. Nolen’s lack of refinement adds some bust potential to his profile, but he’s also got a high pass-rush ceiling.

17. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Banks plays with good awareness and hand placement, and he tested well during the predraft 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 capable of starting his career at guard in the NFL, but he doesn’t have a dominant trait that says All-Pro.

18. Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

Williams produced a 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 former Bulldog wasn't productive in college and his testing numbers are not what some 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.

— Panthers On Tap (@PanthersOnTap) March 19, 2025

19. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Count me among those who didn’t quite see the 4.29 blazing speed on Golden’s tape. Then again, he did bring in several deep completions for Texas this year, and he displayed plenty of speed and loose hips when in open space. He also has zero character concerns, soft hands, and smooth routes that could make him the top receiver drafted in this class.

20. 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 college football’s top defensive tackle in terms of quarterback pressures and hurries, plus he was second at the position in pass rush win rate. While Graham and Nolen are a bit more exciting, Harmon is a well-rounded first-round prospect.

21. 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.

22. Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas

Barron has the size and length to shadow receivers inside and out. He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back playing the boundary this year, but he has ample experience playing in the slot and safety. The former Longhorn is a versatile weapon that can fill several roles and be deployed in multiple ways, though he may be best suited inside.

23. Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Campbell is reportedly recovering from a torn labrum, and he plays a devalued position at standup linebacker. If it were not for those two concerns, he would be higher on this board. Campbell has terrific range, above-average blitzing skills, and the athleticism to do nearly everything. The only concerns are his positional value and size/health at that position.

24. 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 rotated him off the field frequently. There are also reported maturity concerns.

25. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Egbuka is an extremely polished, professional, and versatile receiver who does almost everything well. 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. 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 simply didn't look like a dynamic deep safety this year, dropping him out of my top 20.

27. 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.

— Nate Tice (@Nate_Tice) March 31, 2025

28. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

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

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. 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.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. 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 that prioritize speed and pass blocking from their running backs have this Buckeye as their RB1.

34. 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 former 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.

35. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Shedeur Sanders faced the most pressure in the FBS last year, yet he had the eighth-highest completion percentage and fifth-highest yards per attempt when throwing under pressure. He also took plenty of nasty hits and kept going. However, he also led the FBS in total pressures created by the quarterback, and he was sixth in pressure rate created by the quarterback.

All of this is to say that Sanders is an incredibly tough player with an inconsistent feel for the pocket. While he throws with good accuracy and timing, even when under pressure or on the move, he also falls backward in the pocket too often and has a poor feel for blindside pressure. These issues only exacerbate his average arm strength/velocity and athleticism.

36. 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.

37. 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 dipped this year without much explanation, and there are reports of off-field attitude concerns. Those attitude reports line up with what he showed on film against Boston College and Alabama.

38. 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 past year. The other questions do not concern me if the ACL is cleared during predraft checks. Against Michigan, Revel shut down a top draft pick (Colston Loveland), stood up Donovan Edwards at the goal line, and showed elite quickness.

Shavon Revel has got the goods pic.twitter.com/wPb1VZJsna

— Billy M (@BillyM_91) March 21, 2025

39. 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.

40. 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 former Duck remains undersized and underpowered. He also has to work on his mental lapses and breakdown in assignments.

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 get on the inside shoulder of tackles quickly. The Purdue transfer was particularly effective against one of the top blockers in this class, Will Campbell. Scourton and his teammate, Shemar Stewart, both abused Campbell in their matchup with LSU this past season.

43. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Taylor is a lot like Emeka 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 can 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 and 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 former 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. 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.

46. 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.

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 he should be second (ahead of Booker) for zone teams that require a lot of movement from their blockers.

48. Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

Parrish had some of the best testing numbers of anyone at the combine. He has excellent top-end speed, has good timing and burst as a blitzer, and is effective in press coverage despite being a bit undersized. He flips his hips well, though his change of direction can sometimes be a bit stilted. Parrish also has superb feel and technique while playing the nickel.

Every Jacob Parrish 1-on-1 from the Senior Bowl pic.twitter.com/ygNGiKSgGz

— James Foster (@NoFlagsFilm) January 30, 2025

49. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Hairston posted a blazing 40-yard dash at the combine, and that speed shows up on tape. He also has good height and adequate length, but his build is incredibly thin. That slight build makes it hard for the former Wildcat to contribute against the run with any efficacy, and it may have contributed to his injury history.

50. 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 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.

51. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

Watts has plus-reaction and read skills in coverage, putting himself into a 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.

52. Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA

Oladejo was my Defensive Riser of the Week during the Senior Bowl because 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.

53. 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 past year, but he's a freaky athlete who tracked the ball well in coverage this year.

54. 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 need 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.

55. 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.

56. 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 exactly what you'd expect.

57. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Higgins is a big-bodied receiver who is adept at making contested catches. His athletic testing numbers during the predraft 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.

58. 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.

59. 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.

60. 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 handwork, utilize his length and power more effectively, and develop a pass rush plan … and the floor is relatively low if that doesn’t happen.

61. 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.

My comparison for Jack Sawyer is a backhanded compliment; one that some won't understand.

— All 22 Films (@All_22_NFL_Cuts) March 26, 2025

62. Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

Jackson is another long edge-rusher in this class with burst and 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.

63. 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.

64. 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.

65. 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.

66. 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, though he is still stiff and lacks ideal change of direction in space. He is a strong player who can bull rush or stack-and-shed interior linemen. 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.

67. 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’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.

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 and 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. JT 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 have ideal agility or bend, and a lot of his big plays in college were a team effort more than individual dominance.

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. 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.

72. 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 Tyleik 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.

73. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Harris has the ideal size, and he was very productive on deep routes while at Mississippi. He and Jaxson Dart connected on several big plays, which has raised Harris’ profile with the fantasy community in particular. 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. Jared Ivey, DL, Ole Miss

Ivey isn't the chiseled or "jacked" prospect some may want to see on the cover of magazines, but he's got tremendous height and length, which he utilizes well. He routinely gets his arms up to block passes in the air, has a high motor, and is very good on stunts. Given his size and length, Ivey can play multiple positions on any front.

75. 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 he is 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.
