WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his favorite prospects on offense in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft right around the corner, now is as good of a time as any to stand your ground and claim which prospects you’ll go to bat for.
I’ve finished my preparations for this year’s draft, a group in which I’ve watched a personal-best 480 players for my big board, which is available in full on my Patreon! Cheap plug aside, this is a class I think gets too much flak.
It’s hardly the flashiest class, but if you’re a believer that football is won and lost in the trenches, the 2025 NFL Draft is the class for you. Particularly on offense, this is a group that’s highlighted by its deep group of offensive linemen, as well as its star-studded running back class.
I’ve decided to share the players I’ll go to bat for the most in this draft class. These are not my top overall players at each position, but rather, who I feel strongly only compared to their current consensus draft stock.
All consensus rankings will be pulled from the consensus big board at NFL Mock Draft Database, which is a tremendous tool I highly recommend.
Without further ado, these are “My Guys” on offense in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Consensus ranking: 122
My ranking: 134
As a result of me being generally lower on this quarterback class, I’m not particularly “higher” on anyone than the consensus. That said, I like McCord a lot as a mid-round backup type with spot starter potential.
A productive, accurate passer with a solid arm and good timing behind his throws, McCord was on my radar for his time at Ohio State but really took the next step at Syracuse. Though his physical upside is pretty average, he throws with nice poise in the pocket and has the accuracy to stick around in the NFL for a long time.
Consensus ranking: 123
My ranking: 83
With 25 rushing touchdowns in the last two seasons, Tuten was a star at North Carolina A&T before finishing off with two tremendous years at Virginia Tech. He has the upside to be a big-play running back at the next level.
Tuten is every bit as fast on tape as the 4.32 40-yard dash he ran at the Combine. In addition to that blazing speed, he runs with a low center of gravity and brings impressive contact balance to the table, especially for his size. Fumbles are an issue, but if he can improve his ball security, I think he has a great chance to become an NFL starter.
Consensus ranking: 33
My ranking: 20
Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, Egbuka was a reliable WR2 throughout his whole time at Ohio State but has the potential to be more than that at the NFL level.
I think Egbuka might be...
