https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2025-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-1-0 Rank 1 Abdul Carter Penn State · Edge · Junior Carter is an electric edge rusher. He has average height and bulk, but he has an ELITE burst and his ability to flatten at the top of his rush is special. He gets a lot of early wins because of that speed, and he also has a nifty swipe/rip move. If tackles overset, he senses it early and crosses their face for immediate pressures/sacks. He also has a natural ability to retrace underneath when quarterbacks climb the pocket to avoid him. He can press out and control tight ends at the point of attack. He’s a blur when chasing plays down on the back side. Overall, Carter can take over and completely wreck an offensive game plan. He demands attention on every snap and that is going to free up everyone else around him. Rank 2 Travis Hunter Colorado · WR · Junior Hunter is a lean, athletic playmaker who starred on both sides of the ball for the Buffaloes, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2024. He has a narrow frame and is a very smooth-flowing athlete. On offense, he is creative in his release to escape press as a receiver. He is constantly changing gears to keep cornerbacks off balance and he never wastes steps at the top of his route. He drops his weight and explodes out of the break. He has elite body control and hands. He can pluck balls well outside his frame with grace and ease. After the catch, he is silky smooth and elusive. He doesn’t have elite top speed, but he’s fast enough to not get caught. On defense, he was much improved in 2024. He didn’t take as many unnecessary risks at cornerback, relying more on discipline and technique to stay in position. He can locate the ball and picked it off seven times over the past two seasons. My only concern is the question of how long he will be able to physically hold up if he continues to play on both sides of the ball full-time at the professional level. I’d prefer he prioritize offense and moonlight on defense. Rank 3 Ashton Jeanty Boise State · RB · Junior Jeanty is a fun player to study. He is a short, compact runner with incredible strength, balance and burst. He displays outstanding vision, tempo and feel. On inside runs, the Boise State product has a unique ability to absorb and bounce off tacklers. He has quick feet and never stops driving on contact, leading to some miraculous escapes and home runs. He is rarely -- if ever -- tackled when presented with one-on-one situations at the second level, exhibiting the capacity to run through defenders, make them miss or just burst by them. He isn’t polished as a route runner, but he has reliable hands and can create in space after the catch. He can identify, absorb and wall off in pass pro. He needs to improve his ball security, having fumbled nine times over the past two seasons. Overall, Jeanty might lack ideal size, but he’s a mixture of Dalvin Cook and J.K. Dobbins as a runner. Rank 4 Mason Graham Michigan · DT · Junior Graham is a powerful defensive tackle with outstanding leverage and instincts. He’s one of the most consistent players in the draft class. Against the run, he has an impressive short-area burst to attack blockers. He excels in block destruction. He stacks, finds the ball, chucks blockers to the side and collects tackles. He has lateral range to make plays down the line, too. He is always in a leverage position and never gets uprooted. In the pass game, he has a violent club/rip move and a powerful bull rush. His effort is outstanding. Overall, it’s easy to identify Graham as a former wrestler. He always has a full gas tank and he set the tone for the entire Michigan defense. Rank 5 Tyler Warren Penn State · TE · Senior Warren is a massive tight end who carried the Penn State offense this past season. He lined up in-line, in the slot and as a Wildcat quarterback. His production is the result of his size, catch radius and tenacity. He doesn’t generate a lot of separation as a route runner, but he walls off defenders when on the move. Defenders simply can’t get through his body to make plays on the ball. He can track the ball over his shoulder and he can high-point the ball when needed. He isn’t a nifty option-route type of player. After the catch, defenders bounce off him or go along for a ride as he drags them for extra yardage. As a Wildcat quarterback, he creates space with his power and leg drive. He's effective in the run game and looks to finish when possible. Overall, he isn’t as dynamic as Rob Gronkowski was during his career, but Warren is a similar player in a lot of ways. Rank 6 Jalon Walker Georgia · Edge · Junior Walker is a compact, powerful defender with length and explosiveness. He played both on and off the ball in the Georgia defensive scheme, but he’s at his best on the edge. As a pass rusher, he can win with pure speed, power and an explosive counter move. He’s also a weapon when used to spy the quarterback. He can mirror the QB’s movement before closing the space in a hurry. He dominated in the Bulldogs’ first meeting against Texas during the 2024 season. He’s a firm edge-setter against the run. When he’s stacked off the ball, he’s a touch late to key/diagnose, but he can attack and take on blocks or scrape over the top for tackles. He has outstanding change-of-direction quickness in space. Overall, Walker is a tone-setter on defense and UGA coaches rave about his makeup and leadership. Rank 7 Colston Loveland Michigan · TE · Junior Loveland is a long, lean tight end with outstanding awareness, quickness and big-play ability. He has aligned in-line, as a wing and in the slot. He’s urgent in his release. He has a tremendous feel for option routes and working in space. He can cleanly get in/out of breaks and he presents a big target to the quarterback. He attacks the ball in the air and is adept at finishing in crowds. After the catch, he has a smooth stride and possesses a nasty stiff-arm. He has some wiggle to make defenders miss, as well. His lack of bulk impacts his ability to stay connected as a run blocker, though. Overall, Loveland is equipped to make a lot of catches as a starting tight end in his rookie campaign. Rank 8 Will Campbell LSU · OT · Junior Campbell has ideal height, bulk and athleticism for his position. In pass pro, he stays square, bends well and keeps his hands in tight. He will expose his chest at times (due to his lack of ideal length) but he’s able to recover after giving up some initial ground. He can slide and redirect with ease. He flashes the upper-body strength to torque and control defenders. In the run game, he can wash defenders on down blocks and he stays attached to/through the whistle. Some teams will be more concerned than others with his lack of length, but I don’t see it as a major issue. He is just scratching the surface of his potential and should start at tackle for a decade, provided he stays healthy. Rank 9 Jahdae Barron Texas · CB · Senior Barron is a talented Swiss Army Knife. He aligned outside, in the slot and in the box as a dime linebacker for the Longhorns. He made impact plays in every game I studied. He’s a quicker-than-fast athlete with outstanding eyes and conviction. He’s at his best when he can play off and see through receivers to the quarterback. He reads the QB’s drop and anticipates to beat pass catchers to the ball. He doesn’t waste steps and has outstanding hands. He lacks elite top speed, but he’s always in position and he is excellent at locating/playing the football downfield. He has good timing and feel as a blitzer. He can adjust from pass to run defense to collect tackles. His batting average as a tackler in space is very high. Overall, Barron excels at taking the ball away and reminds me of Brian Branch when he was coming out of Alabama. Rank 10 Cam Ward Miami · QB · Senior Ward is a thick, compact quarterback with outstanding arm strength and playmaking ability. After spending two seasons apiece at Incarnate Word and Washington State, he put up monster numbers at the final stop on his college journey, becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist at Miami. He plays a very free-wheeling brand of football. He drifts in his drop, throws from a variety of arm angles and often falls away from the target upon release of the football. He can really power the ball into tight windows, but his aggressive nature can put points on both sides of the scoreboard. He has very quick hands in the RPO game and he can navigate around free rushers by dropping his arm angle. He took the free yards with his legs when voids presented themselves in Miami’s spread attack. Overall, Ward will need to be reined in, but he’s a very gifted thrower of the football. If he can learn to better manage the game, he has a very high ceiling. Im starting to think DJ should retire.....

Total out of left field, but what about Nolen at #8?? He's 21, great build, and tears apart OLmen in the SEC/everwhere. I swear I like him more than Mason Graham. He was the #1 overall recruit coming out of HS. Owned senior bowl. I feel its heavy potential, but hes got the highest ceiling in the draft.

I think another point would be you'd have a young QB growing with a young WR. Like the next ten could be special. Lastly I think Tmac is great fit for the type of WR that should excel with BY. Think about that.

I think the first Mack package is a ballpark- 1st and 3rd.....I feel that's too light. tho He's got 2 years left and what 29(?), but he's a peppers-like alien, so that age doesn't equal "old". Plus best I know, he's been healthy and no big injuries. The worst thing on the resume was the fake n-word and helmet swing on helmentless player. I mean if I was a GM that was very comfy with my roster, Id almost trade too much for him along with giving him new mega deal. If I was 85% sure my team could make the playoff the next two years, I would trade two 1st and maybe even mid-rounder/mid player for him. He's a difference maker. He's a big nerd, no off-field BS like many others. I'd try for less, but Id give up kings haul for him.

If Nico Harrison was the GM this would be possible..

That's the thing, Panthers need a starter more than depth.......yes they need depth too, but that chance at a top end WR could be sitting there at 8. There's a much higher drop off in WR than DL form 8th to 57th. I mean they need a new KR, PR as well. Jesus sooo many holes. Unless you want to put all your chips in the XL or Coker will be the stud..... I prefer to draft Tmac and rack in defenders for the next 4 picks......Then add in TE, RB, and maybe even QB for the true BPA soup and you have my perfect Panthers draft!! Its against my religion but they also need punter, kicker, and LS( equip poop armor )

I was team ladd too, but slot WR << X...which is what we hope XL becomes. That was about the only thing I came up up with favoring XL..

I heard one those draft guru nerds just engulf Walter Nolen as a EASY top 5 surprise/lock.

Watch out for this name- Michael Hoecht OLB. Rams top backup edge and they hired a rams coach for Intel. If the market doesn't get crazy, I think Panthers will make a strong effort. He's "young" too. Just soooo many teams have around 50-80 in cap space, while the Panthers are around 30 with cuts.....

I member Mike mycock, said he'd rather draft Mack over Clowney and no one else in the world agreed with him...... Ended up being right.

Evil, pure evil.

There are groups of professionals out there willing to fly into your area and for few extra hundos, let you play dress up with them in your weirdo massage rape fantasy..... \Bonus there's a 99.9999999999996679866% chance no one will know unless you tell them. Kaft couldn't even hire a professional and he was a billionaire. Tucker has plenty of cash too, or should even with lawsuits. Lords always looking after our worst.....

That's true, but those six years are used mainly for negotiations proposes. Like you said no QB will play out the 5th option and then play tag, tag. It gives them a number, a baseline. Plus most time the first couple years of the extension does carry a "low"(QB) cap number. Regardless its 4 years to build a great roster around a cheap dare I say.....(ugh) great QB, then around that 5th/6th year, you got to make turf cap choices and focus more on draft return.

Just use common sense. The draft is deep at DT, DL, EDGE, DE. It's weak at WR. Look at the current group for 2025, AT is JJJ age, XL, Coker. It's makes too much sense to draft tmac and let the young BY grow with a potential weapon. Then draft all the defense players you want with the next 8 picks while using the best part at its maximum value.

I think the commies will be a lava hot spot for players wishes. They have insane amount of cap space so they will be getting PAID and Daniels is under control for 6 years at discount rates.
