The 2025 NFL Draft big board, way-too-early edition with only 3 top 50 quarterbacks

The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone. That means the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft is on the clock.

We’ve got nearly a year to go before we know who’ll be the top prospect selected next April — though this long run-up didn’t stop FTW writer Cory Woodroof from making Shedeur Sanders the Tennessee Titans’ guy at No. 1 in his way-too-early mock draft. That leaves so, so much wiggle room for players to vault up and slide down draft boards as five-star recruits fail to meet their potential and overlooked high school stars exceed theirs. There’s no clear cut favorite to be the first pick like Caleb Williams was after winning the 2022 Heisman Trophy. In fact, next year’s crop of quarterback talent pales in comparison to this year’s six-man first round class.

That makes it even more difficult to predict next spring’s draft than usual. But based on prior results, athletic traits and past scouting reports we can at least make a vague outline of the players destined for Day 1. Let’s take what we know to make a preliminary, thoroughly subject to change look at the 2025 NFL Draft’s top 50 prospects.
