As the 2025 NFL Draft moves forward, PFSN provides you with an updated list of the best remaining prospects available after each and every selection. Follow along as your favorite players are taken off the board.
104) Zy Alexander
CB | LSU
Zy Alexander first emerged as a star at Southeastern Louisiana in 2021, amassing six interceptions in a breakout bid. He transferred to LSU in 2023 and quickly validated his standing at the SEC level, accumulating two picks and seven pass breakups in just eight games.
2024 featured more of the same from Alexander: Production and physicality in both phases of the game. At 6’1″, 187 pounds, Alexander isn’t the heaviest player, nor does he have high-end proportional length. But he can give WRs fits in contested situations with his frame and tenacity, and despite his non-elite burst and vertical speed, he’s a fleet-footed, agile, and fluid mover with exceptional coverage mobility.
His testing numbers may bump him down in this class, but he has the tools to be a potential NFL starter regardless, with a particular affinity for man coverage.
107) Xavier Restrepo
WR | Miami (FL)
Xavier Restrepo was, without a doubt, Cam Ward’s favorite target in the 2024 Miami offense. Restrepo eclipsed 1,000 yards for the second straight season, racking up 69 catches for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns.
He was incredibly productive in college, but how he projects to the NFL is less clear. Restrepo has a strong frame at 5’10”, 209 pounds, and his superpower is his short-area quickness as a route runner and RAC threat. But Restrepo lacks great speed and explosiveness, and his sub-30″ arms greatly reduce his catch radius and viability against press coverage.
Restrepo likely projects as a slot-only target at the NFL level, and his limited athletic ceiling may impact his draft capital. Still, in the right role, he can go on to exceed his draft billing with his toughness, separation IQ, and sturdy hands.
119) Logan Brown
OT | Kansas
Logan Brown is a former five-star recruit who brought impressive pedigree with him to Wisconsin. His career with the Badgers didn’t work out, but he experienced a resurgence at Kansas, earning honorable mention All-Big 12 recognition in 2024.
Brown has a unique blend of experience and untapped potential. At 6’6″, 311 pounds, with near-34″ arms, he tested with elite athletic numbers, and he’s played at both left and right tackle. While his medical history may sow unease among teams, his physical gifts, positional versatility, and easy leverage acquisition skills and flexibility could make him a steal of the 2025 NFL Draft.
120) Cobee Bryant
CB | Kansas
Cobee Bryant is an instinctive cornerback in the 2025 NFL Draft with a knack for making plays on the ball. At 6’0” and 170 pounds, he combines length and athleticism to challenge receivers at the catch point.
A natural ballhawk, he’s also a physical defender who isn’t afraid to step up against the run — but as his eight interceptions and 12 pass breakups over the past two seasons show, Bryant’s best trait is his playmaking ability, and the speed he utilizes to close gaps and hawk in front of ill-fated passes. There are questions surrounding how his lighter frame will translate, but in heavy off-man and zone schemes, he could survive and thrive.
157) Tommi Hill
CB | Nebraska
Tommi Hill is a three-year starter who was primarily an outside corner at Nebraska. He is a physical corner with prototype size and length. Hill saw drastic fluctuations in his performance from year to year in college. He took a big step back in production and efficiency in his final year of college.
Hill allowed a ball to be caught on him nearly 75% of the time when he was targeted and gave up three touchdowns in coverage this season. He struggled to make plays around the ball this season, with just one pass breakup and one interception. He has average top-end speed and is somebody who struggles with recovering once he’s beaten.
A willing run defender and solid overall tackler who is active in run support and can make plays around the line.
159) Seth McLaughlin
OC | Ohio State
Seth McLaughlin has never played more than 700 reps in any college season and has only lined up at center. He loses reps due to his inconsistent pad level and lack of core strength but is a fluid athlete who is quick off the line. McLaughlin showcases excellent short area burst and agility while being a smart pass blocker who can pick up stunts/twists and keep his quarterback protected.
McLaughlin is inconsistent at snapping the ball to the quarterback. He will be coming off a torn Achilles injury that he suffered in practice during the final weeks of the season. That means McLaughlin faces massive question marks on whether he can make a full recovery and return to the level of player he was in college.
164) Antwaun Powell-Ryland
EDGE | Virginia Tech
Antwaun Powell-Ryland is an explosive edge rusher with a quick first step and a relentless motor. He thrives at creating pressure off the edge, using a mix of speed, leverage, and hand violence to beat tackles. His agility and ability to bend make him a constant threat in passing situations, and he shows good pursuit speed when chasing down plays from the backside.
Powell-Ryland also flashes solid instincts against the run, setting the edge with discipline. However, he can struggle to disengage against stronger linemen and needs to add functional strength to become a more consistent presence on early downs.
166) Jake Briningstool
TE | Clemson
Jake Briningstool was one of college football’s more productive receiving TEs over the past two seasons, and he brings that as his calling card to the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’6″, 241 pounds, he’s a smooth athlete with good separation chops and RAC ability, and he flashes the body control to make high-difficulty catches in tight spots.
However, Briningstool needs to add mass and improve his play strength, and focus drops can be an issue at times. His tricky blocking profile makes his NFL projection even more unclear, but in the mid-to-late rounds, he’s a good investment with his natural receiving feel.
171) Joshua Gray
OG | Oregon State
Joshua Gray is an experienced college player who has taken over 3800 reps in his career with snaps at left tackle and left guard in his career. He has average pass-blocking production, having given up 25 pressures over the past two seasons as a starter. A high-motor player who finishes plays off. He has shown that he can play with a low pad level and good technique as both a run and pass blocker.
Gray plays the game with above-average strength and drive. He is a physical player in the trenches who lets his presence be known. Gray is a good overall athlete who moves well in space and doesn’t have any real physical restrictions.
172) Simeon Barrow
DT | Miami (FL)
Simeon Barrow has good size for a defensive lineman and has established himself as a key player throughout his college career. After transferring from Michigan State to Miami, Barrow continued to impress in the 2024 season, recording 13 solo tackles, 5.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.
He started in 30 games over his tenure, accumulating 36 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks in the 2023 season. His performance has earned him recognition as the 42nd overall prospect from the ACC for the 2025 NFL Draft. With his blend of experience, skill, and production, Barrow is an intriguing prospect with strong potential for the next level.
174) Jake Majors
OC | Texas
Jake Majors is a five-year player at Texas who has started four seasons and has improved in each of those. While he is a very experienced player with over 3700 career snaps, he only has experience with lining up at center but has played against the top competition in the country.
Major has an average frame and length, plays low to the ground, and has excellent leverage as a pass blocker. He is a fluid athlete who can fire off the ball and moves well in space allowing him to climb to the second level of a defense and win consistently. Majors is a smart offensive lineman who has consistently shown the ability to pick up stunts and twists.
176) Nick Nash
WR | San Jose State
Nick Nash is a versatile playmaker with a wide receiver’s skill set and a quarterback’s instincts, bringing dynamic athleticism and creativity to the field. He’s a fluid route runner with reliable hands and the ability to make contested catches in traffic. Nash excels after the catch, using quickness and vision to turn short throws into big gains.
His experience as a former quarterback gives him a strong understanding of coverages and soft spots in zone. However, he lacks elite top-end speed and can struggle to separate consistently against physical man coverage. Polishing his release off the line will help elevate his game.
178) Jared Ivey
EDGE | Ole Miss
Jared Ivey is a long, athletic edge rusher with an explosive first step and the ability to disrupt both the run and pass games. He uses his length well to create separation from blockers and flashes a quick swim move to penetrate the backfield. Ivey shows good motor and discipline when setting the edge, and his versatility allows him to shift inside on passing downs.
He plays with a physical edge and has the frame to add more strength. However, his hand usage can be inconsistent, and he occasionally stalls out when his initial move is stopped, limiting his finishing ability.
180) Jamon Dumas-Johnson
LB | Kentucky
Jamon Dumas-Johnson is a physical, downhill linebacker with a nose for the football and a strong presence in the box. He plays with excellent instincts, diagnosing plays quickly and filling gaps with authority. His tackling is reliable, and he brings a thump on contact, often stopping ball carriers in their tracks.
Dumas-Johnson also shows solid timing and awareness as a blitzer, creating pressure without needing a clean rush lane. While he’s serviceable in zone coverage, he lacks the range and fluidity to consistently cover athletic tight ends or backs in space. Improving his change of direction would round out his game.
183) Corey Kiner
RB | Cincinnati
Corey Kiner is a compact, physical running back with a low center of gravity and a punishing running style. He thrives between the tackles, consistently falling forward on contact and wearing down defenses with his tough, no-nonsense approach. Kiner has good vision and shows quick feet in tight spaces, making him effective in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
He also brings solid ball security and flashes enough burst to bounce runs outside when needed. However, he lacks elite acceleration and long speed, limiting his big-play potential. His impact in the passing game is minimal, and improving as a receiver would boost his versatility.
185) Elijah Ponder
EDGE | Cal Poly
Elijah Ponder is a high-motor defensive lineman known for his relentless effort and physicality at the point of attack. He plays with good leverage and flashes strong hands to disengage from blockers, allowing him to be disruptive against the run. Ponder’s compact frame and stout build help him anchor well in tight quarters, and he consistently shows a willingness to do the dirty work inside.
While he brings energy and toughness, his pass-rush arsenal is limited and he lacks the explosiveness to consistently pressure quarterbacks. His upside is somewhat capped by average athletic traits and limited scheme versatility.
186) Isaiah Bond
WR | Texas
Isaiah Bond is an explosive wide receiver with game-breaking speed and the ability to stretch the field vertically or create separation underneath. He accelerates quickly off the line and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball, especially on deep routes and screens. Bond has smooth footwork, sharp route-running instincts, and shows flashes of tracking the ball well over the shoulder. He’s also a dangerous returner, adding special teams value.
However, his route tree is still developing, and he can struggle against physical corners at the line of scrimmage. Adding strength and refining his timing will elevate his game. There are also off-field concerns that make him a wild card in terms of where could be selected.
188) Jay Higgins
LB | Iowa
Jay Higgins is a highly instinctive linebacker with a nose for the ball and strong leadership qualities on the field. He diagnoses plays quickly and takes efficient angles, allowing him to consistently be around the football. Higgins is a sure tackler who wraps up well and brings a physical presence in the box.
He excels at shedding blocks and staying disciplined in his run fits, often making stops near the line of scrimmage. While he brings effort in coverage, he lacks ideal speed and fluidity when matched against quicker backs or tight ends in space. Improving his range will be key.
189) Andrew Armstrong
WR | Arkansas
Andrew Armstrong is a big receiver who has been ultra-productive throughout his college career. He posted impressive numbers this past season: 78 catches and 1140 receiving yards. Armstrong has taken the majority of his snaps out wide in his career and is an above-average ball winner capable of winning in tight spaces, having caught 18 of 29 contested targets in 2024. He is an average after-the-catch threat who doesn’t create at a high level but does have a nice understanding of how to get open versus zone coverage.
Armstrong is a consistent chain mover who finds ways to get open but is not always a precise or deceptive route runner, while his tight hips mean he doesn’t change direction sharply.
191) Luke Kandra
OG | Cincinnati
Luke Kandra transferred from Louisville to Cincinnati after two seasons. He is an above-average athlete who gets off the ball quickly and moves well in space. He is also a physical offensive lineman who plays with a high motor in the run game. Kandra is a disciplined player that has unbelievably been penalized just twice in his entire college career.
He had elite pass-blocking production this past season with zero sacks and eight pressures allowed on 447 snaps. Kandra does have stiff hips which impacts his overall pad level. He is a strong anchor in pass pro and can hold up to bigger and more physical edge rushers. In the run game, Kandra is an impressive second-level blocker.
192) Clay Webb
OG | Jacksonville State
Clay Webb is a strong, technically sound interior offensive lineman with a powerful base and a relentless work ethic. He plays with good leverage and hand placement, allowing him to anchor effectively in pass protection and generate push in the run game. Webb’s balance and body control make him tough to move, and he brings a gritty, physical mentality to the trenches.
He’s quick off the snap and communicates well, showing a clear understanding of blocking schemes. However, he lacks ideal length and lateral quickness, which can leave him vulnerable against quicker interior pass rushers. Continued agility improvement would raise his ceiling.
193) Hollin Pierce
OT | Rutgers
Hollin Pierce is a massive, powerful offensive tackle with a mauling presence in the run game and a frame that’s tough to get around. He uses his size and strength to overwhelm defenders at the point of attack and shows the ability to anchor well against bull rushes.
Pierce plays with a physical edge and flashes heavy hands that can neutralize rushers once engaged. He’s particularly effective in gap schemes where he can fire off the ball and drive defenders off their spot. However, his foot speed and lateral agility are limited, making him vulnerable to speed rushers on the edge.
196) JJ Roberts
S | Marshall
JJ Roberts is an instinctive and versatile defensive back with solid coverage awareness and reliable tackling ability. He excels in zone schemes where his football IQ and quick reaction time allow him to break on passes and disrupt throwing lanes. Roberts is a willing run defender who takes good angles and rarely misses assignments.
His versatility allows him to contribute as a nickel or deep safety, adding value on special teams as well. However, he lacks top-end speed and fluid hips, which can hinder his ability to stick with faster receivers in man coverage. His ceiling may be as a depth piece or situational contributor.
198) Jah Joyner
EDGE | Minnesota
Jah Joyner is a three year starter at Minnesota who produced at average levels throughout his college career. He has prototype size and length and is an above-average athlete who is quick off the ball. Joyner moves well in space, can close quickly on the ball and is able to utilize a multitude of moves as a pass rusher in order to win reps.
However, he is a below-average tackler who lets opportunities fall from his hand, with a disastrous 42.9% missed tackle rate in 2023 and a career missed tackle rate of nearly 20%. Overall, Joyner is an average run defender who struggles at times to keep gap integrity.
210) Marcus Tate
OG | Clemson
Marcus Tate is a 4-year starter who has been on the field since his true freshman season at Clemson, primarily lining up at left guard in his career. A big, physical offensive lineman who has above average size and length. He is a very good athlete who is light on his feet and has an adequate get-off.
Tate is a steady anchor in pass protection who can withstand a bull rush and more physical pass rushers. He is a consistent pass blocker who hasn’t allowed a sack in his last two seasons. Possesses a strong punch, wide base, and strong core but plays with inconsistent pad level, leading to some lost reps due to leverage.
213) Joshua Simon
TE | South Carolina
Joshua Simon is a physically imposing tight end with a blend of size, athleticism, and receiving upside. He presents a big target over the middle and is effective at boxing out defenders to secure contested catches. Simon flashes smooth hands and body control, particularly on seam routes and red zone opportunities.
He’s also a willing blocker with the strength to engage defensive ends, though his technique and pad level can be inconsistent. While he shows flashes of big-play potential, his route running lacks sharpness and he doesn’t consistently create separation. Improving consistency and polish will be key to unlocking his full impact.
219) Mello Dotson
CB | Kansas
Mello Dotson is a playmaking cornerback with a keen eye for the football, showcasing strong instincts and anticipation throughout his Kansas career. At 6’1” and 190 pounds, he uses his length to disrupt passes while blending smooth athleticism with physical tackling. His ability to create turnovers and impact plays on the perimeter makes him a dynamic presence in the secondary.
220) Raheim Sanders
RB | South Carolina
At one point at Arkansas, it looked like Raheim Sanders might be a potential top-50 pick in the NFL Draft. Injuries snapped a bit of his top gear away from him, though, leaving Sanders lacking some of the breakaway speed that made him a Round 1 candidate.
Nevertheless, Sanders still finds ways to break off chunk plays, and he’s one of the most impressive receiving backs in the class. South Carolina often aligned him outside in empty sets, and he’s even flashed a bit of toe-drag swag in 2024.
221) Trey Wedig
OT | Indiana
Trey Wedig is a versatile offensive lineman with experience at both tackle and guard positions. He demonstrates effective double-team and combo blocking, utilizing proper aiming points and spacing to cover up his target, overtake, and release to the second level.
Wedig exhibits solid play strength, enabling him to dig out and widen gaps on angle-drive, base, and kick-out blocks. In pass protection, he can sit down on bull rushes, keeping rushers off his frame to anchor effectively. However, his arm length is slightly below the ideal threshold for NFL tackles, which may present challenges against defenders with longer reach.
Overall, Wedig’s adaptability and technical proficiency make him a promising prospect for teams seeking depth and flexibility along the offensive line.
222) Kaimon Rucker
EDGE | North Carolina
Kaimon Rucker has been a consistent part of North Carolina’s defensive line rotation since his true freshman season. He has produced at above-average levels throughout his college career, with 14.5 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in the past two seasons.
Rucker has gotten pressure on just over 15% of his pass-rushing snaps over the past two seasons thanks to a multitude of pass-rushing moves he can utilize to get around linemen. He is an above-average athlete who moves well in space and can get off the ball quickly. While Rucker is a consistent tackler who can finish plays, he is not a physical run defender and has trouble at times with setting the edge.
224) Kobe Hudson
WR | UCF
Kobe Hudson played his first two seasons at Auburn before transferring to Central Florida. He has above-average size for the position but was only an average-producing college receiver. Hudson has only topped 900 yards one time in his college career. He has operated out wide the majority of the time in the past two seasons, but he also has experience in the slot.
Hudson has below-average hands, with a drop rate of over 10% in every college season. He is also a below-average ball-winner who isn’t a dominant player at the catch point. He is also an average after-the-catch threat but is a high ADOT player who is capable of making plays down the field. Hudson is a decent route runner who can create separation versus man or zone and has very good straight-line speed.
226) Jalin Conyers
TE | Texas Tech
Jalin Conyers played three seasons at Arizona State before transferring to Texas Tech for his final season, having played quarterback in high school. He has produced at a decent level in his career with 300 receiving yards in each season as a full-time starter and a very respectable 2.13 yards per route run as a sophomore at Arizona State.
Conyers has been in line on 35.2% of his career snaps and in the slot for 51.1% of the time. He is a fluid athlete with good route running skills for a tight end and can change direction quickly along with being good at getting in and out of his breaks.
Conyers can fight through contact during reps and still find ways to create an open window for the quarterback. He has a quick release off the line. Conyers is a better blocker and more physical blocker than given credit for.
227) Maxen Hook
S | Toledo
Maxen Hook, from Toledo, has adequate speed and change-of-direction ability. He’s had an impressive career and is perceived as one of the nation’s most productive safeties. In 2024, he accumulated 107 tackles and two interceptions, excelling in both run support and as a blitzer.
His athleticism was highlighted during the NFL Scouting Combine, where he posted a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, a 34.5-inch vertical jump, and a 10’4″ broad jump. Hook is known for his efficient tackling. Transitioning from the MAC to the NFL will be a challenge, and Hook needs to refine his pass coverage techniques.
228) Patrick Jenkins
DT | Tulane
Jenkins has been a dominant force on Tulane’s defensive line. The 6’2″, 293-pound TCU transfer is known for his quickness and pass-rushing ability, Jenkins stands out as one of the AAC’s top NFL Draft prospects. His production matches his skill set, and he continues to fly under the radar.
229) Dalton Cooper
OT | Oklahoma State
Dalton Cooper is a tall and slender offensive tackle for Oklahoma State who provides valuable experience and versatility to the offensive line. Cooper began his collegiate career at Texas State, where he earned All-Sun Belt honors. In 2023, he transferred to Oklahoma State, starting 13 of 14 games and receiving honorable mention All-Big 12 honors. He has played over 3800 snaps in his career.
The 2024 season saw him play nine games where he gave up six pressures and zero sacks. Cooper’s consistent performance has positioned him as a mid-round prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, with his participation in the East-West Shrine Bowl further enhancing his visibility among NFL scouts.
230) Elijah Simmons
DT | Tennessee
Elijah Simmons is a massive, space-eating interior defensive lineman who thrives as a run-stuffer in the middle of the line. His low center of gravity and sheer power make him difficult to move off the ball, and he consistently occupies multiple blockers to free up linebackers behind him. Simmons flashes surprising quickness off the snap for his size and can collapse the pocket with a strong bull rush.
However, his conditioning and stamina have been inconsistent, limiting his snap count and effectiveness late in games. To become more than an early-down contributor, he’ll need to improve his endurance and overall mobility.
231) BJ Adams
CB | UCF
Cornerback BJ Adams has above-average size and length and is an experienced player, having started all four years in college and saw playing time early as a true freshman. He has given up five touchdowns the past two seasons and has average on-ball production. Additionally, he only has 11 career pass breakups in four years and just two interceptions, both of which came this year.
Adams is a physical corner who can border on reckless with the amount of hand-fighting he features in his game, having been penalized a whopping 16 times in his career. He is a sound tackler who has only missed eight career tackles in four years and has a career 7.5% missed tackle rate. Adams is not somebody who is actively seeking out plays in the run game., having not had a single run stop in 2024 and only having one the previous season. He also struggles with route recognition when in zone coverage.
237) Tyler Batty
EDGE | BYU
Tyler Batty, a fifth-year senior from BYU, is a highly instinctual and physically robust pass rusher known for his intense awareness and anticipation. As an exceptional run defender with a long frame and powerful playing style, Batty offers NFL teams a reliable and high-floor prospect. His mauling mentality and strong foundation will enable him to contribute immediately at the professional level while further developing his pass-rushing skills.
238) Antwane Wells Jr.
WR | Ole Miss
Antwane Wells Jr. is a dynamic and versatile wide receiver known for his physicality and playmaking ability. He excels in creating yards after the catch, utilizing his sturdy build and agility to break tackles and extend plays. Wells demonstrates reliable hands and body control, effectively tracking deep passes and securing contested catches. His experience across multiple offensive schemes highlights his adaptability and football intelligence.
However, he occasionally struggles with concentration drops and could refine his route-running precision to enhance separation. Wells’ competitive nature and versatility make him a valuable asset in various offensive systems.
240) Willie Lampkin
OG | North Carolina
After transferring from Coastal Carolina, Willie Lampkin earned First-Team All-American honors in 2024, highlighting his impressive performance. Known for his technical proficiency, Lampkin excels at engaging defenders and maintaining blocks, contributing significantly to his team’s running game. His athleticism is evident in his ability to move quickly to the second level and close in on defenders with agility.
However, his physical attributes have raised concerns, as he is smaller than typical NFL offensive linemen, which may affect his fit at the professional level. Lampkin’s performance at the Senior Bowl showed a mix of strengths and areas needing improvement. Despite the size concerns, his combination of technical skills, athleticism, and experience make him an intriguing mid-round draft prospect for teams looking to bolster their offensive line depth.
242) Elijah Williams
EDGE | Morgan State
Elijah Williams is one of the most intriguing late-round, small-school prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was a full-time starter in his very first season at Morgan State, and he grew to become one of the school’s most storied defenders.
An All-MEAC first-teamer and an HBCU All-American in 2024 after amassing 11 sacks, Williams ended his career as Morgan State’s all-time leader in sacks (31) and tackles for loss (52). At 6’2″, 294 pounds, Williams is stout and well-leveraged. His production sheds light on his relentless motor, and at the HBCU Combine, he logged solid numbers — among them a 29.5″ vertical, a 9′ broad jump, a 7.39 3-cone, and 30 bench reps.
244) Brandon Crenshaw-Dixon
OT | Florida
Brandon Crenshaw-Dixon has only played one year in a power conference after transferring from San Diego State, but he is an experienced starter with over 2800 career college reps. He has prototype size and length and has played at both tackle spots during his career. Crenshaw-Dixon has been penalized an eye-popping 26 times in his college career and was penalized 11 times in a single year in 2022.
He has a very mediocre get-off and does not explode out of his stance at all. Plays with wide hands, which could be an issue against more skilled pass rushers, doesn’t have a violent stab, and isn’t a physically dominant offensive lineman.
246) Daniel Jackson
WR | Minnesota
Daniel Jackson is a smooth, polished wide receiver with reliable hands and a refined route-running skill set. He consistently creates separation with sharp breaks and deceptive footwork, making him a dependable target on short and intermediate routes.
Jackson excels at reading coverages and finding soft spots in zone, and he adjusts well to the ball in the air. His body control and awareness along the sideline are standout traits, especially on contested catches. While he’s competitive after the catch, he lacks elite top-end speed and explosiveness, which may limit his big-play potential. Jackson projects as a savvy, chain-moving possession receiver.
248) Sebastian Castro
S | Iowa
Sebastian Castro is a smart, instinctive defensive back with a nose for the football and a physical playing style. He excels in zone coverage, quickly diagnosing plays and breaking on the ball with urgency. Castro is a strong tackler in space and isn’t afraid to come downhill to support the run.
His versatility allows him to line up in the slot or rotate deep, and he brings consistent effort and intensity. However, he doesn’t have top-end speed or elite change-of-direction skills, which can show against quicker receivers in man coverage. Improving his man-to-man technique would help round out his game.
249) Isas Waxter
CB | Villanova
Isas Waxter has prototypical size and length with a strong frame and a thick build for a corner. He is an experienced player with nearly 2,000 career college reps and primarily lined up at outside corner in college. Waxter is a physical player who knows how to use his size and length to his advantage.
His fluid hips allow him to transition quickly and stay within the receiver’s vicinity. He does an excellent job of limiting big plays when targeted despite having average ball skills. Waxter only has 13 pass breakups in five seasons and three interceptions. He is an average tackler who missed 17.2% of his career tackling attempts at the FCS level. Waxter is a small-school corner who dominated the top FCS competition but hasn’t gone against the best players in the country.
250) Johnny Walker Jr.
EDGE | Missouri
Johnny Walker Jr. has emerged as a promising prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. In the 2024 season, he led the Tigers with 9.5 sacks and three forced fumbles, earning All-SEC honors.
Known for his pass-rushing skills, Walker’s quickness and technique were on display at the East-West Shrine Bowl, where he recorded two sacks and a forced fumble. His versatility allows him to play multiple positions along the defensive line, providing strategic flexibility.
Although his absence from the NFL Scouting Combine raised some eyebrows, his strong collegiate career has positioned him as a promising draft candidate. With his pass-rushing ability and adaptability, Walker is poised for a strong NFL career.
251 Nazir Stackhouse
DT | Georgia
Nazir Stackhouse is set to excel as an NFL nose tackle, using his strength to clog running lanes and disrupt offenses. A standout at Georgia, he effectively clears gaps and performs essential heavy work that often goes unnoticed. While his pass-rushing ability is limited due to lighter footwork, his intelligence and physical prowess make him a valuable defensive asset poised for success at the next level.
254) Jabbar Muhammad
CB | Oregon
Jabbar Muhammad is a feisty, quick-footed cornerback with sharp instincts and strong ball skills. He plays with confidence and urgency, frequently jumping routes and disrupting timing between quarterbacks and receivers. Muhammad is sticky in man coverage, with fluid hips and the ability to mirror receivers through their breaks. He’s also a willing tackler who plays bigger than his size, showing grit in run support. His anticipation and awareness stand out, especially in zone coverage. However, his smaller frame can be a disadvantage against bigger, more physical receivers, and he can be boxed out at the catch point. Improving play strength will help.
255) Xavier Truss
OG | Georgia
Xavier Truss is a versatile offensive lineman with significant experience across multiple positions, including left guard and right tackle. He demonstrates strong run-blocking abilities, effectively utilizing his size and strength to create running lanes. In pass protection, Truss shows adequate footwork and hand placement, though there is room for improvement in handling speed rushers. His adaptability along the line enhances his value to teams seeking a flexible lineman. However, his lateral agility and consistency in pass protection against elite edge rushers remain areas for development. Truss’s experience and versatility make him a promising prospect for offensive line depth.
258) Torricelli Simkins III
OC | South Carolina
Torricelli Simpkins III is a below-average athlete who also shows limitations with hip flexibility on tape. That said, he’s an extremely experienced interior blocker with versatility between center and guard (31 career starts at center, 17 starts at right guard). At 6’5″, 312 pounds, with 32 3/8″ arms, he has intriguing proportional length to go along with a high-mass build, and he can use his heavy hands and anchor strength to stymy point-of-contact force. He’s not a high ceiling player, but in Round 6 or Round 7, he could be a good add for gap-scheme teams in need of versatile interior depth.
259) Zemaiah Vaughn
CB | Utah
Zemaiah Vaughn is a long, athletic cornerback with fluid movement skills and the versatility to line up inside or outside. He displays smooth hips and solid recovery speed, allowing him to stay in phase with receivers downfield. Vaughn shows flashes of strong ball skills, using his length to contest passes and disrupt timing at the catch point. His size and agility give him upside in press and off-man coverage schemes. However, his technique can be inconsistent—particularly with footwork and hand placement—and he occasionally takes poor angles in run support. Continued development in fundamentals will be key to maximizing his potential.
260) Ja’Corey Brooks
WR | Louisville
Ja’Corey Brooks is a dynamic wide receiver known for his impressive size and playmaking ability. After transferring from Alabama to Louisville, he revitalized his career with a standout 2024 season, recording 61 receptions for 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns. Brooks excels as a deep threat, utilizing his speed and ball-tracking skills to stretch defenses and create explosive plays. His versatility allows him to line up across various receiver positions, contributing effectively in multiple offensive schemes. However, his route running can be inconsistent, and he occasionally struggles with physical press coverage, impacting his separation from defenders.
Brooks’ combination of size, speed, and production makes him a compelling prospect for teams seeking a versatile playmaker.
262) Glendon Miller
S | Maryland
Glendon Miller is a versatile and instinctive defensive back with strong ball skills and a physical approach to coverage. He reads plays well and has the anticipation to jump routes, making him a threat in creating turnovers. His aggressive mentality helps him excel in run support, delivering hard hits and wrapping up efficiently in open space. Miller’s length and athleticism allow him to match up well against bigger receivers and tight ends. However, his aggressive style can lead to overcommitting on play fakes and double moves. His combination of instincts, physicality, and versatility makes him a valuable secondary asset.
264) Jared Harrison-Hunte
DT| SMU
For teams that run odd and hybrid-front alignments, Jared Harrison-Hunte profiles as a great late-round add with his ingrained pass-rush utility. Harrison-Hunte will be a 25-year old rookie, so his developmental track may be a bit shorter than preferred. Nevertheless, at 6’3″, 290 pounds, with 33″ arms, 4.86 speed, and blistering explosiveness numbers — among them a 1.69 10-yard split, 32″ vertical, and 9’3″ broad — Harrison-Hunte has all of the necessary tools to be an attacking interior defender, and in 2024, he rode those tools to 6.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss in the Big 12.
267) Howard Cross III
DT | Notre Dame
Howard Cross III is a tough and relentless defensive lineman known for his high motor and physicality. He excels at using his leverage and strength to disrupt plays in the trenches, particularly against the run. Cross displays excellent hand technique and a low pad level, allowing him to shed blocks and control his gaps effectively. While not the flashiest pass rusher, he generates pressure with effort and technique, collapsing the pocket and forcing quarterbacks off their spot. While his size can help him at times, it could also be an issue at the NFL level as he can be taken out of a play with double teams as well as struggling to control blockers in one-on-ones.
268) Thomas Perry
OG | Middlebury
Thomas Perry is a powerful offensive lineman with a sturdy frame and a mauler’s mentality in the run game. He fires off the ball with strong hands and plays with a physical edge, often driving defenders off their spot in downhill schemes. Perry’s anchor in pass protection is solid against bull rushers, and he shows good awareness when picking up stunts or blitzes. However, his lateral quickness and foot speed are limited, making him vulnerable to quicker edge threats and struggles in space. His game is best suited for gap-heavy systems where he can lean on strength and leverage over mobility.
269) Max Brosmer
QB | Minnesota
Max Brosmer may not be a high-profile draft prospect, but he brings notable qualities to the table. A former zero-star recruit at New Hampshire, he overcame an ACL injury to develop into a composed and fundamentally sound QB. His transition to Minnesota showcased his ability to adapt to tougher competition. While he may not project as a long-term NFL starter, Brosmer has the skills to carve out a role as a reliable backup.
270) Gerald Christian-Lichtenhan
OT | Oregon State
Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan is a massive offensive tackle who began his college career at Colorado before transferring to Oregon State for his senior season. At Colorado, he made a significant impact, starting 11 games in 2023 and playing over 800 offensive snaps that year. In 2024, he moved to Oregon State, where he started all 12 games and was named Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. Christian-Lichtenhan’s impressive size and consistent performance have made him a top prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. His participation in the East-West Shrine Bowl added further visibility to his draft potential.
271) Elijhah Badger
WR | Florida
Elijhah Badger is a three-year starter who transferred from Arizona State to Florida. He is an average route runner who isn’t always quick out of his breaks, but an above-average ball winner who can high point the ball at the point of attack. Badger has a good understanding of zone coverage and how to create open windows for the quarterback. He is a reliable target with good hands and has only dropped two passes across 160 targets in the past two seasons.
Struggles to consistently separate against single coverage. Badger is a threat with the ball in his hands after the catch and can make guys miss and create yards. He has average career production totals having consistently been around the 700-800-yard mark during his career. Also has experience with returning kicks in his career.
272) Bru McCoy
WR | Tennessee
Bru McCoy has above-average size and length for the position but has an elite prospect pedigree as a 5-star recruit coming out of high school. He has all the physical traits you want in a receiver but has an extensive college injury history that has seen him struggle to stay on the field consistently. McCoy has primarily lined up outside in his career but hasn’t been a productive receiver when on the field. He is merely average at the catch point despite his size and is only average after the catch and cannot consistently create. McCoy is very low-impact receiver despite having reliable hands with a low career drop rate. He is a quality route runner who can create separation against single coverage, but the production has not been there to back it up.
273) Tyler Cooper
OG | Minnesota
Tyler Cooper is known for his leadership and consistency, but does not have positional versatility as he’s only started games in his career at guard. Cooper is a relatively inexperienced offensive lineman who has played just 1300 career snaps through four years. He allowed 10 pressures and three sacks in 2024, a significant step down from the previous season. Cooper started in 10 games, contributing to an offense that averaged 26.15 points per game and strong protection for the quarterback. Cooper’s pro day and individual workouts will be crucial in securing his draft position.
274) Karne Reid
LB | Utah
Karene Reid is an undersized linebacker who started all four years at Utah. However, he was an average-producing player who has never had more than 75 tackles in a season, as well as having more assisted tackles in his career than solo tackles. Reid is an effective blitzer who has shown the ability to get near the quarterback consistently, with multiple seasons of 20+ pressures. He has average straight-line speed and backs that up by being a consistent tackler with a below 10% missed tackle rate in his final two seasons. However, he is an average run defender overall, as his size and length make it difficult to overcome bigger players. Reid is a low-impact coverage player who doesn’t do a good job of closing gaps in space and has only five career pass breakups.
275) Alijah Huzzie
CB | North Carolina
Alijah Huzzie is a versatile cornerback with experience playing both slot and outside, boasting over 3,500 career reps at the Division I level. He displays good technique and discipline, exhibiting the ability to recognize pass patterns and react accordingly. Huzzie’s quick transitions and overall hip fluidity allow him to stick with receivers downfield and remain effective in coverage. He is a physical player at the point of attack and possesses good ball skills, evidenced by his 16 career interceptions and 15 pass breakups in a single FCS season. Despite his playmaking ability, Huzzie’s lack of size and length and average long speed project him as a nickel corner at the next level.
276) Ja’Qionden Jackson
RB | Arkansas
Ja’Quinden Jackson has elite size for the position but was not a highly productive rusher in college and has never topped more than 850 yards on the ground. He is not a breakaway rusher who can consistently create explosive plays through the run game and doesn’t have great long speed. Jackson also has below-average career receiving production, having never been above 0.90 yards per route run, and has just 23 career receptions. His pass-blocking technique also still needs refinement. He has average wiggle and is not somebody adept at making defenders miss. Jackson is average at consistently running off contact and keeping the play going.
277) Carter Runyon
TE | Towson
Carter Runyon is a rangy, instinctive linebacker who excels in pursuit and shows strong diagnostic skills against both the run and pass. He plays with a high motor and consistently flows to the ball with urgency, displaying solid tackling form in open space. Runyon demonstrates good awareness in zone coverage and can hold his own against tight ends and running backs in short areas. He brings special teams value and leadership qualities that stand out on film. However, his play strength and block-shedding ability are still developing, which can hinder his effectiveness between the tackles. Adding bulk and refining technique will be crucial for his next step.
280) Jackson Woodard
LB | UNLV
Jackson Woodard has decent size for the inside linebacker position and is a high-impact run defender who consistently gets downhill and makes big plays. He posted an elite 15.3% run-stop rate in 2024 and was an elite producer throughout his college career, racking up multiple seasons with 115+ tackles. Woodard had 17 tackles for loss in 2024 and 3.5 sacks and is an elite playmaking linebacker, finishing the year with 11 pass breakups and four interceptions. He is a consistent tackler who can convert opportunities and has an outstanding change of direction ability in space.
281) Caden Prieskorn
TE | Ole Miss
Caden Prieskorn is a TE with prototype size and above-average college production. He transferred from Memphis to Ole Miss in 2023. This past season, he had 27 receptions for 401 yards and 3 touchdowns, demonstrating his deep-threat capability with an average of 14.9 yards per catch and an average depth of target of 11.9. His career-best game came in the 2023 Peach Bowl, where he posted 10 catches for 136 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Prieskorn’s background as a former QB gives him strong ball skills and football IQ. Despite his size, Prieskorn struggles to meet physicality in the run game and profiles as a below-average run blocker, having lined up in line on just 34.3% of his snaps.
282) Connor Colby
OG | Iowa
Connor Colby is an experienced starter who has played nearly 2500 career college reps, taking snaps at left guard, right guard, and right tackle in his career. He is a disciplined lineman who has only accumulated four penalties in his college career. Colby has above-average size and length, as well as being a natural athlete with good hip flexibility and quick feet. He has marginal pass-blocking production, as he gave up two sacks and 10 pressures on just 287 pass-blocking snaps in 2024. Colby is a good second-level blocker who can finish plays when he reaches the point of attack. He struggles to handle bigger, more physical defensive linemen who can just drive him back and take advantage of his mediocre pass technique.
284) Efton Chism
WR | Eastern Washington
Efton Chism is an undersized receiver who played at a small FCS school, where he posted eye-popping production totals in his final college season with 120 catches, 1300 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He is a very good short and intermediate route runner who can naturally create separation and has shown the ability to diversify his pace while running routes. Chism van be difficult to contain at the line due to his quick release, and he does a really nice job of running in-breaking routes. He has the acceleration to pull away and stack defenders in coverage as well as being an above-average ball winner despite his size who can win in tight spaces and has very reliable hands.
285) Gus Hartwig
OC | Purdue
Gus Hartwig has been a key player for their offensive line, earning All-Big Ten Honorable Mention honors in 2023. He’s known for his strong pass protection and reliable run-blocking abilities, helping create lanes in the ground game. A team captain and multi-year starter, Hartwig returned from a 2022 injury to contribute to Purdue’s offensive success. His leadership and experience have been vital to the team. To enhance his NFL prospects, he could improve his athleticism, particularly for more dynamic offensive schemes.
Additionally, refining his hand placement and technique would help him better handle defensive maneuvers. Overall, his experience and versatility make him a solid draft candidate.
287) RJ Oben
EDGE | Notre Dame
R.J. Oben transferred to Notre Dame after a solid career at Duke. During his final season with the Blue Devils, he registered 19 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. Oben is known for his pass-rushing skills, using his quick first step and strong arm length to pressure quarterbacks. His ability to play multiple positions along the defensive line, including defensive end and outside linebacker, provides defensive flexibility. However, he must work on improving his athleticism and run defense, particularly in setting the edge and disengaging from blockers.
Oben’s performance at the Senior Bowl elevated his draft stock, and his NFL pedigree, as the son of former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Roman Oben, further adds to his potential.
288) Theo Wease Jr.
WR | Missouri
Theo Wease Jr. is an average college producer who has never topped more than 900 yards in a season. However, he saw a spike in his receiving efficiency in 2024, with a career-high 2.65 yards per route run. Wease has taken the majority of his snaps out wide and has proven to be elite at forcing missed tackles after the catch, being a very difficult player to bring down. He is an average ball-winner who isn’t a consistent contested-catch maker. He does have consistent hands and is a reliable target who is an above-average deep threat with the ability to beat defenders to the intermediate and deep parts of the field. Wease is not a physical run blocker, which hampers where teams can line him up.
289) Aaron Smith
LB | South Carolina
Aaron Smith is praised for his leadership and football IQ. Throughout his college career, Smith has displayed versatility, adapting to multiple defensive systems and excelling in sideline-to-sideline coverage. Known for his strong leadership qualities, he plays a key role in motivating his teammates both on and off the field. However, to succeed at the next level, Smith will need to improve his ability to shed blocks and take on blockers more effectively. Projected as a late-Day 3 draft prospect, Smith has the potential to rise with further development, particularly in his physical play and blocking techniques. His adaptability and leadership make him an appealing prospect for NFL teams seeking linebacker depth.
290) Isaiah Neyor
WR | Nebraska
Isaiah Neyor is a high-upside dart throw in the later rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. He originally rose to prominence as a sophomore at Wyoming in 2021, racking up 878 yards and 12 touchdowns on just 44 catches. He transferred to Texas, and expectations were high, but a torn ACL suffered before the 2022 campaign derailed his stint at Texas. In 2024, he transferred again — this time to Nebraska — and resurrected his career with a respectable final season. At 6’4″, 218 pounds, with over 34″ arms, Neyor is a freak athlete with 4.4 speed and elite explosion numbers. Injuries and limited opportunities have prevented him from becoming anything more than a vertical threat, but he has yet untapped upside.
291) Will Sheppard
WR | Colorado
Will Sheppard is an intriguing wide receiver who matches the archetype often sought in a wide receiver. He has length and fluidity on his side but lacks the play strength to clean releases off the line and then break tackles with the ball in his hands. That length certainly helps him in contested catch situations, which he needs to have as he struggles to create separation consistently. There are a lot of good technique elements to his game, but unless he can develop into either a speed or strength-based receiver, he may not be able to carve out a role in an offense.
292) De’Rickey Wright
S | Vanderbilt
A sixth-year senior, De’Rickey Wright has developed into a dependable presence in Vanderbilt’s secondary. With elite length at 6’4”, 229 pounds, he excels in coverage and as a tackler. A versatile safety who can defend both the run and pass, Wright has the tools to draw NFL interest. His performance leading up to the draft will be key in solidifying his pro prospects.
293) O’Donnell Fortune
CB | South Carolina
O’Donnell Fortune, an SEC cornerback, displays exceptional zone coverage skills. His knack for reading passing patterns and anticipating plays makes him a consistent playmaker, reflected in his seven career interceptions and five touchdown returns. Fortune’s agility, above-average speed, and excellent ball skills contribute to his ability to prevent big plays. He transitions smoothly, maintains composure under pressure, and closes quickly on the ball. However, his tackling is a weakness, with a career 20.6% missed tackle rate.
294) Benjamin Yurosek
TE | Georgia
Benjamin Yurosek was a three-year starter at Stanford who transferred to Georgia for his final season. He broke out as a sophomore with 42 receptions and 655 receiving yards. He is a fluid tight end who can create with the ball in his hands and is a long strider who can cover lots of ground. Above-average run blocker with good technique and adequate blocking strength. Shows a strong understanding of zone coverage and has good spatial awareness to find open windows for his quarterback. Primarily lines up in-line and in the slot. Reliable hands. A good route runner who can get in and out of breaks quickly and challenge the defense at any level. Yurosek has shown the ability to run after the catch but isn’t somebody who can make guys miss. He can also take handoffs, with 14 career rushing attempts at an average of over eight yards per carry.
295) Adin Huntington
DT | Tulane
Adin Huntington has become a standout player due to his athleticism and strong pass-rushing ability. After transferring from Louisiana-Monroe and Kent State, Huntington had a good 2023 season with 62 total tackles, 8.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles, earning a spot on the 2023 All-Sun Belt Team. Huntington’s speed and agility make him a dominant pass rusher, but his consistency could use improvement to reach his full potential. His combination of size, speed, and production makes him a promising 2025 NFL Draft prospect.
296) Donovan Edwards
RB | Michigan
Donovan Edwards is a dynamic and versatile running back with playmaking ability as both a rusher and receiver. He possesses good vision, quick acceleration, and fluid agility, allowing him to navigate through defense. Edwards runs with a smooth yet explosive style, displaying the ability to make sharp cuts and break tackles in the open field. As a pass-catcher, he is a natural route runner with reliable hands, making him a valuable weapon in the passing game. Consistency is the biggest knock on him, but he also does not play to his size, which hurts him when working through contact or as a blocker. He has the tools to be a good running back but is a developmental project to have success.
297) TaMuarion Wilson
LB | Central Arkansas
TaMuarion Wilson, a versatile defensive back for the University of Central Arkansas, has shown strong potential as a 2025 NFL Draft prospect. Known for his adaptability, Wilson has excelled in various roles within the secondary, demonstrating both solid coverage and aggressive tackling. His physical presence and athleticism make him a dynamic force in defending both the pass and the run. However, to improve his draft stock, Wilson must work on consistency in coverage assignments and refine his tackling technique. His combination of size, versatility, and playmaking ability makes him an intriguing mid-round prospect, appealing to NFL teams in need of depth and flexibility in their secondary.
298) Fentrell Cypress III
CB | Florida State
Fentrell Cypress III, a two-year starter at Florida State after transferring from Virginia, is an elite tackler with a 3.7% missed tackle rate this season. He’s a skilled corner with loose hips, above-average athleticism, and quick feet, mirroring receivers well off the line. Cypress excels in zone coverage with good read-and-react skills. However, he has average ball skills (one career interception) and struggles with physicality at the catch point, contributing to his lackluster on-ball production. He’s also not consistently active or physical in the run game.
299) Corey Thornton
CB | Louisville
Corey Thornton, who transferred to Louisville for his final year after four years at a G5 school, is a physical corner who’d fit well in a press-man scheme. He has experience at outside corner, box safety, and slot corner. Thornton is a consistent tackler, missing just 10.8% of career attempts, and an asset in run support. However, he struggled with giving up big plays in 2024, allowing five touchdowns in coverage. He has above-average on-ball production, with 14 pass breakups and 5 interceptions in the past two years.
300) Malik Verdon
S | Iowa State
In a stacked Iowa State secondary, Malik Verdon managed to stand out more than once across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. In 2023, Verdon logged two interceptions, and in 2024, he accounted for 76 tackles, four tackles for loss, a sack, an INT, five pass breakups, and a forced fumble. At 6’4″, 218 pounds, Verdon has an extremely appealing blend of size and athleticism, compounded by his willingness to play physical in both phases of the game. Consistency can be an issue at times, and he may be limited in man coverage, but he has nice developmental potential as a strong safety, with inbuilt special teams value.
