WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his latest updates to his big board, including a new player at No. 1.
There’s only one more game left to be played in the NFL’s 2024-25 season, and for 30 of the league’s 32 teams, the offseason is the next big step ahead of them.
The all-star game circuit has come and gone, both collegiately (Senior Bowl, Shrine Bowl, Hula Bowl, etc.) and professionally (Pro Bowl). Ohio State earned their rightful spot atop the college football landscape as the FBS national champions. Underclassmen made their decisions regarding their status for the 2025 season, choosing whether to stay in school of declare for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Now is as good of a time as any to take a look at how player rankings stack up. I went through the process of adding every Senior and Shrine Bowl participant to my board, as well as several underclassmen prospects. While plenty of things will still change between now and April’s draft, I feel more confident in my board now than I have the last few times I’ve shared my rankings.
These players in my previous top 75 from November ended up returning to school, making them ineligible for this latest version:
It’s worth noting that Penn State quarterback Drew Allar found his way into my top 75 as the season progressed, but he would end up returning to school, too.
The following players were ranked in my previous top 75 but have since fallen out:
While these players all are no longer in my top 75 prospects currently in the 2025 NFL Draft, almost all of them still rank in my top 100 and could finish the pre-draft process up in that range. Kyren Lacy is the only likely exception, seeing as though he’s currently being investigated for a negligent homicide case.
With all of that said, these are my current top 75 players in the 2025 NFL Draft.
