Where the real evaluators go to work. No fluff. No hype. Just film.
At TheNSR Network, we don’t just watch the draft—we live inside it. Trusted by agents, GMs, top scouts, and player reps alike, we’ve become your favorite NFL analyst’s favorite analysts. We’re not speculating. We’re listening. We’re hearing what’s said behind closed doors, in hotel suites, on encrypted calls at midnight between decision-makers debating a corner’s hip fluidity or a quarterback’s pocket integrity. This isn’t barbershop talk — this is boardroom intel. And each act of The War Room: TheNSR Top 100 isn’t just a tier of players. It’s a tier of belief. Of risk. Of scouting conviction. From the no-brainer picks to the educated guesses, from Day 1 gold to Day 3 brilliance… this is what separates good front offices from great ones. Welcome to The Wiretap. Welcome to The National Sports Report.
TheNSR Top 100
2025 NFL Draft — Special Edition
In the smoke-filled silence of The War Room, where futures are gambled and legacies are written with ink on index cards, The National Sports Report presents its definitive 2025 NFL Draft Top 100. This isn’t just a list — it’s a weapon. A blueprint. A truth serum.
These rankings aren’t built off hype. They’re forged from tape, tension, and traits that translate. From franchise-changing quarterbacks to trench brawlers with bloody knuckles, from high-floor technicians to uncut diamonds hidden in Group of Five shadows — TheNSR Top 100 separates the flash from the football. It’s the difference between drafting a name and drafting a player.
Every scout has a board. Every GM has a gut. But this? This is for the ones who see the league through a lens of grit, instinct, and football justice. Welcome inside The War Room. This is the list teams will wish they followed — and the one they’ll blame themselves for ignoring.
Act I (1–25): “The Headliners”
This is the velvet rope crowd. These are the blue-chippers. The Day 1 franchise pillars. You build your team around these guys, not beside them. These are your All-Pro potentials, your scheme-changers, your jersey sellers. Their film doesn’t lie. Their traits leap off the screen. These names go early, and they go big. Busts? Rare. Icons? Like
The guys who walk into a locker room and tilt the room. Gameplans get built around these players on both sides of the ball.
1. Travis Hunter – CB/WR, Colorado
They call him a cornerback. I call him a contradiction.
A player who flips the field—and the narrative. A two-way phenom who doesn’t just play football—he breathes it. Elite ball skills, mirror-matching movement, and instincts sharper than a wiretap mic. He’s not perfect—press-man gives him fits—but drop him in a zone-heavy scheme and you’re looking at your next All-Pro. This kid’s got Sunday swagger written all over him.
2. Abdul Carter – EDGE, Penn State
You want Micah Parsons 2.0? Here’s the knockoff that might be the real thing.
He wears 11. He haunts quarterbacks. He explodes off the snap like it’s personal. Carter’s a predator—aggressive, raw, and getting better every rep. There’s All-Pro upside here, but he needs more horsepower in the weight room. Still, if you blink, he’s behind your line of scrimmage.
3. Tetairoa McMillan – WR, Arizona
A smooth criminal at 6’5”.
McMillan’s not flashy. He’s not loud. He’s just open. Crisp routes, 50/50 balls that become 80/20s, and football IQ that reads like a film noir. Think A.J. Green meets Larry Fitzgerald—except this one operates like he’s reading your defensive playbook in real time.
4. Mason Graham – DT, Michigan
Short arms? Maybe. Short impact? Not a chance.
He’s a wrecking ball in pads. Violent, fast, and relentless. Graham plays like a guy who knows the only way to get off the field is by forcing a punt. He’s not flashy—but if your team wants its identity built in the trenches, this is your man.
5. Ashton Jeanty – RB, Boise State
Balance of Kamara. Mindset of Marshawn.
Jeanty is what happens when ballet meets bar fight. He’s got soft feet and a mean shoulder. His vision is next-level, and the acceleration through the hole? Like a getaway car on the turnpike. This is a franchise back, the kind you ride into December and trust in January.
6. Will Campbell – OL, LSU
Fundamentals. Toughness. Violence.
Campbell’s an offensive lineman’s offensive lineman. Might end up at guard, might stick at tackle, but make no mistake—he’s starting on Sundays. His tape isn’t sexy, but it’s surgical. Technique meets tenacity. Your quarterback sleeps easier with him up front.
7. Shedeur Sanders – QB, Colorado
Poised. Polished. Polarizing.
You either believe in Sanders or you don’t. He’s got ice in his veins, but questions about arm strength and size linger. Still—he plays smart, plays tough, and wins when it matters.
8. Tyler Warren – TE, Penn State
A 6’6” puzzle piece that doesn’t blink in traffic.
He’s not George Kittle. He’s not Travis Kelce. But he’s the bridge between the two. Blocker, mover, red-zone magnet. Every OC wants one of these. The question isn’t if he goes Round 1—it’s who pulls the trigger first.
9. Malaki Starks – S, Georgia
Three-year starter in the SEC. That’s not an accident.
Starks is clean. No bells. No whistles. Just good football. Plays smart, tackles clean, rarely out of position. His ceiling isn’t elite, but his floor? That’s a 10-year starter with a C on his chest.
10. Jihaad Campbell – LB, Alabama
He moves like a wide receiver. Hits like a fullback.
Campbell is built for chaos. He’s raw, sure. But give him a system, give him a mentor, and you’ll have a linebacker who can erase running backs and haunt tight ends. The kind of guy who changes the math on offense.
11. Armand Membou – T, Missouri
Zone-blocking artist with Sunday feet.
His 2024 tape was a clinic. Fluid in space, quick on pulls, balanced in pass sets. He’s not the strongest, but he doesn’t need to be. He wins with technique and control—like a boxer who beats you with the jab.
12. Mike Green – EDGE, Marshall
Small school. Big problem.
Green didn’t just dominate—he embarrassed people. High motor. Heavy hands. Explosion off the edge. The comp? Haason Reddick with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. He’s a Day 1 starter in a 3-4.
13. Will Johnson – CB, Michigan
Long. Lean. Fluid.
Johnson mirrors receivers like he’s got them wired. His deep speed isn’t top tier, but in zone-heavy schemes, this guy is a menace. Instincts like a safety, body like a corner, and a nose for the ball.
14. Luther Burden III – WR, Missouri
A running back in a receiver’s body.
He’s compact, explosive, and downright dangerous after the catch. Play him outside. Motion him inside. Run him on jet sweeps. Doesn’t matter—he’s eating yards like Pac-Man and breaking tackles like it’s personal.
15. James Pearce Jr. – EDGE, Tennessee
Twitchy, bendy, violent.
Pearce jumps off the tape. He wins with burst, with hands, with hunger. He’s not polished yet—but the ceiling? It’s made of glass, and he’s halfway through it.
16. Donovan Ezeiruaku – EDGE, Boston College
Lean frame, sharp mind.
He’s not going to bull-rush you out of your cleats. But he’ll slice inside, dip around the edge, and meet your quarterback like they had dinner plans. Ideal 3-4 stand-up rush backer.
17. Kenneth Grant – DT, Michigan
A 339-pound missile.
Quickness at that size is rare. Strength is expected. Grant gives you both. He’ll anchor against doubles, blow up gaps, and stuff the run like it owes him money. Could be a steal at nose.
18. Jahdae Barron – DB, Texas
Nickel, safety, boundary—this guy does it all.
He doesn’t have the flash of Hunter, but he’s a coordinator’s dream. Anticipation. Film study. Range. Barron is your modern hybrid chess piece. On one play, he’s breaking up a screen in the backfield. On the next? Dropping deep and picking off a post route.
19. Emeka Egbuka – WR, Ohio State
High floor. Savvy vet. Sunday-ready.
He’s not the flashiest. He’s not the fastest. But he’ll win routes, convert thirds, and make a quarterback’s life easier. WR2 who plays like a WR1 in crunch time.
20. Kelvin Banks Jr. – T/G, Texas
Versatile, mean, and mobile.
His arms might push him inside, but his feet could keep him outside. Banks brings attitude to the line, and that’s half the battle. Plays like he’s mad at you.
21. Cam Ward – QB, Miami (FL)
All confidence. All chaos. All potential.
Ward is a walking rollercoaster. One throw will leave you speechless. The next? On the bench. But the ceiling? It’s MVP-level. Someone’s going to bet big—and pray they hit the jackpot.
22. Matthew Golden – WR, Texas
Speed. Fluidity. Return value.
Golden plays like he’s on ice skates—just glides past defenders. He’s not a WR1 yet, but if you’re looking for juice in your offense? He’s it.
23. Walter Nolen – DT, Ole Miss
Unpolished? Yes. Unstoppable? Sometimes.
If Nolen ever figures it all out, he’s Pro Bowl-bound. Until then, he’s a high-floor run-stopper with glimpses of brilliance.
24. Josh Simmons – T, Ohio State
Fluid mover, sharp hands, sneaky tough.
Injuries delayed the breakout, but the tape’s good. Feet are clean. Leverage is there. He’s not a mauler, but he knows how to keep the pocket clean—and that’s all that matters.
25. Colston Loveland – TE, Michigan
Big slot. Red-zone weapon. Matchup nightmare.
Loveland isn’t blocking a DE anytime soon. But he doesn’t have to. Let him run routes, box out safeties, and score touchdowns.
Act II (26–50): “The Movers and Shakers”
Not quite household names, but these are the ones who change games quietly—and permanently. You’ll see these guys make rookie All-Pro lists, dominate in sub-packages, or become cornerstones after a few starts. This act is filled with boom-ready guys and high-floor starters. Some may not pop at the podium, but they hit on Sundays.
Smart GMs don’t miss here. This is where contenders become powerhouses, where good rosters turn great.
26. Mykel Williams – EDGE, Georgia
He’s long, lean, and plays like he’s got unfinished business with every offensive tackle he lines up across from.
He’s not going to win every rep, but when he does, it’s with a thud. His pass-rush polish isn’t there yet—but his build and motor make him a walking problem on Sundays. High floor as a run defender. Low ceiling? Not likely.
27. Shemar Stewart – EDGE, Texas A&M
Built in a lab. Refined on raw instinct.
He’s the classic Day 2 gamble—athletic gifts through the roof, but the tape? Incomplete. Give him a coach who can teach hand usage, and he’s a menace. Until then, he’s potential in pads.
28. Jalon Walker – LB, Georgia
He’s got the tools. He just hasn’t built the house yet.
Walker flashes range, burst, and downhill juice, but the instincts are a beat late. If he hits his ceiling, you’ve got a sideline-to-sideline enforcer. If not? He’s a special teams ace with the world’s best passport to the weight room.
29. Grey Zabel – OL, North Dakota State
A blue-collar brawler from a program that breeds trench warriors.
Zabel’s not flashy, but he’s five-spot versatile and always in control. Center, guard, tackle—doesn’t matter. He plays like he’s been double-teamed his whole life and never backed down.
30. Derrick Harmon – DT, Oregon
Quiet on the stat sheet, loud on the tape.
Harmon is cerebral and violent, a disruptor with a knack for timing. He’s the type of 3-tech who’s always in the right place—and when he gets his shot? He makes it count.
31. Nic Scourton – EDGE, Texas A&M
A tank with twitch.
Scourton’s not bending the arc like Von Miller, but his power-to-speed ratio is lethal. He sets edges, crushes pockets, and makes offensive linemen earn their check.
32. Omarion Hampton – RB, UNC
Size. Power. Flash.
He’ll slash through zones like a blade, but his vision? Inconsistent. Boom-or-bust pick. But when he hits? You feel it.
33. Demetrius Knight Jr. – LB, South Carolina
Disciplined. Tough. Professional.
Knight plays like he’s been watching film since birth. He’s never the fastest guy on the field, but he’s always where the ball ends up. Coaches love him. Quarterbacks fear him.
34. Josh Conerly Jr. – OT, Oregon
Raw clay with dancing feet.
Conerly’s upside is massive. His footwork is already NFL-caliber. With more strength and anticipation, he could become a 10-year bookend. Zone schemes will love him out of the gate.
35. Elic Ayomanor – WR, Stanford
Prototype body. Blue-collar mind.
Big, smart, and strong. Ayomanor doesn’t separate like the burners, but he out-muscles corners and boxes out like a power forward. Give him press coverage, and he’ll embarrass it.
36. T.J. Sanders – DT, South Carolina
He’s not loud. He’s just always there.
Sanders wins with quickness and angles. He’ll shoot a gap and ruin your play before it starts. He needs to bulk up to anchor full-time, but as a 3-tech disruptor? There’s gold here.
37. Tyleik Williams – DT, Ohio State
Built like a fridge. Moves like a food truck.
Williams is your plug-and-play nose in a 3-4. Not flashy. Not fast. But good luck moving him. When he decides to anchor, the run game stops.
38. Jack Bech – WR, TCU
A technician with glue hands.
He’s not explosive, but he’s reliable. He’s not the first read, but he’ll always be open on third-and-6. Coaches trust him. Quarterbacks love him.
39. Xavier Watts – S, Notre Dame
Ballhawk. Risk-taker. Eraser.
Watts is a gambler on the backend—but when he guesses right, it’s six the other way. Needs to clean up the missed tackles, but his instincts and range are NFL-grade.
40. Trey Amos – CB, Ole Miss
The definition of solid.
Good size. Good movement. Good tape. He doesn’t wow you, but he doesn’t lose. Low ceiling, high floor. Slot CB or outside in a pinch.
41. Landon Jackson – EDGE, Arkansas
Long as a Monday. Smart as a coach.
At 6’7”, Jackson brings rare length and surprising bend. He’s not a sack artist, but he’ll ruin your pulling guard and swallow your zone runs.
42. Maxwell Hairston – CB, Kentucky
Feisty. Smart. Mean.
Hairston plays every down like he’s got something to prove. Press or zone, he’s in your face. The ball production is real, even if the technique is still cooking.
43. Shavon Revel – CB, East Carolina
He’s a project—but the kind worth building.
Massive frame. Long arms. Former WR with ball skills. His footwork is raw, and the ACL recovery is real, but the upside? Rare.
44. Princely Umanmielen – EDGE, Ole Miss
Specialist, not a generalist.
He’s here to hunt quarterbacks. Nothing more. Nothing less. A pure pass-rush artist in a 3-4. He’ll give you headaches—and sacks.
45. Nick Emmanwori – S, South Carolina
A linebacker in a safety’s frame.
You don’t draft Emmanwori to cover deep. You draft him to crash the box, jam tight ends, and lay the wood. He’s raw, but the physical traits are rare.
46. Darius Alexander – DT, Toledo
Late bloomer. Early impact.
At 25, he’s one of the oldest prospects in the class—but also one of the strongest. A bull with subtle feet. He’s not sexy, but he’s plug-and-play in both odd and even fronts.
47. Bradyn Swinson – EDGE, LSU
Active hands. Active brain.
Swinson isn’t the most explosive edge, but he knows how to win. Hands, leverage, and a plan. He’ll earn a roster spot fast—and might steal a starting gig.
48. Tyler Booker – G, Alabama
Country strong with Ivy League smarts.
Booker’s got power, intelligence, and a mean streak. Feet are heavy. Balance is hit or miss. But when he lands? It’s over.
49. Jayden Higgins – WR, Iowa State
A walking first down.
Big frame. Great body control. Knows how to find soft spots and win leverage. WR2 with WR1 routes.
50. Cam Skattebo – RB, Arizona State
Runs like he owes someone money.
Skattebo doesn’t care about finesse. He’s here to break tackles, drag safeties, and churn clock. Coaches will love his edge. Defenders will hate his pads.
Act III (51–75): “The Hidden Gems ”
The third quarter of this board is where the hidden gems hide—the grinders, the rotational demons, the future Pro Bowlers taken while half the league blinks. This is the roundtable — where scouts pound the table, assistant coaches vouch, and GMs make calls that determine whether they’re still employed in three years. These are traits guys. Flash guys. Specialists. Role players with star potential. You’re drafting upside, edge, intelligence, or one elite skill. The floor may be lower, but the hunger? Off the chart
“Wait, this guy was a third-rounder?”
Exactly. This is the meat of the draft for football lifers.
51. JT Tuimoloau – EDGE, Ohio State
Big frame. Big school. Big question: Can he create his own sack?
Tuimoloau wins with effort, not explosion. But the guy brings a floor. A rotational end who could start by midyear if the coaching is right.
52. Carson Schwesinger – LB, UCLA
Light frame. Heavy processor.
Don’t blink. You’ll miss him diagnosing a play before it happens. He’s not built to take on guards, but if you let him play in space? It’s curtains for the screen game.
53. Quinshon Judkins – RB, Ohio State
One cut. One crease. One linebacker with a dislocated soul.
Judkins isn’t flashy. He’s efficient. North-south finisher with a thick base and brutal contact balance. Put him behind a strong O-line and let him eat.
54. Xavier Restrepo – WR, Miami (FL)
Slot receiver with New York cabbie grit.
Restrepo’s not tall, not fast, but always open. He’s a coach’s dream: reliable, tough, and fearless across the middle. Instant WR3 with WR2 hands.
55. Shemar Turner – DT, Texas A&M
Every coach thinks they can unlock him. One of them might be right.
Versatile. Violent hands. But inconsistent tape. If the lights ever go on, you’ve got a monster. Until then, you’ve got a tease.
56. Jack Sawyer – EDGE, Ohio State
Solid. Safe. Steady.
He won’t blow up the Combine, but Sawyer has NFL power and play recognition. Think Trey Hendrickson-lite. You won’t regret drafting him. You just won’t build your defense around him.
57. Elijah Arroyo – TE, Miami (FL)
Receiver in a tight end’s body. Problem is, he blocks like a receiver too.
Arroyo has juice. He’ll stretch seams and frustrate safeties. But ask him to chip a DE? It might get ugly. Big-slot weapon, not an every-down Y.
58. Darien Porter – CB, Iowa State
Track star in cleats. Press him and pay.
Porter’s raw, but the speed is ridiculous. Former WR with instincts, but just one year of CB play. Project? Yeah. But one with sky-high upside.
59. Jared Ivey – EDGE, Ole Miss
Heavy hands. Heavy base. Light feet — when he wants to use them.
Ivey isn’t a speed rusher. But if you’re a 3-4 team who wants a violent strongside edge? Here’s your guy.
60. Aireontae Ersery – OT, Minnesota
Tall. Long. Raw.
Zone schemes will like his athleticism. Hand work’s a mess, but the feet? They glide. He needs time, but there’s starter potential.
61. Omarr Norman-Lott – DT, Tennessee
Sneaky explosive. Sneakier upside.
He’s not flashy. He’s just productive. Undersized 3-tech who wins with leverage and urgency. Your d-line coach will beg for this guy on Day 3.
62. Azareye’h Thomas – CB, Florida State
Playmaker. Gumby hips. But he needs to bulk up before Sundays.
You want a corner with range and instincts? He’s got it. You want one who can tackle? Still TBD. But the flashes? Gorgeous.
63. Dylan Sampson – RB, Tennessee
Home run hitter with shortstop feet.
Every time he touches it, it’s a threat. But ball security and durability questions linger. You want lightning in a bottle? Draft him and pray the fuse holds.
64. Kaleb Johnson – RB, Iowa
Early-down hammer with subtle wiggle.
Johnson’s built for a 20-carry Sunday in November. Strong, decisive, and hard to bring down. Third-down value? Not yet.
65. Kyle Kennard – EDGE, South Carolina
Smart, slippery, lean.
His frame screams situational. His film screams starter. If he adds weight and refines his bend, he’s a low-key steal.
66. Benjamin Morrison – CB, Notre Dame
Technician with a chip on his shoulder.
Recovering from hip surgery, but when healthy? One of the cleanest cover corners in the class. Ideal in press-man systems. Just needs a little time and trust.
67. Donovan Jackson – IOL, Ohio State
Not flashy. Just clean.
Jackson’s tape won’t wow you. But it won’t frustrate you either. Sound feet. Smart hands. 10-year vet vibes.
68. Josaiah Stewart – EDGE, Michigan
All gas. No size.
Built more like a linebacker, but he rushes like a demon. High-effort guy with one plan: get to the QB. Might end up as a hybrid weapon.
69. CJ West – DT, Indiana
Short, squat, and annoying to block.
West is a 2-down plug who flashes surprising burst. He won’t anchor a defense. But he’ll sure as hell anchor the A-gap.
70. TreVeyon Henderson – RB, Ohio State
What do you get when confidence returns? Fireworks.
Henderson’s vision is elite. The burst is dangerous. He’s not built to carry 25 times, but give him space and let him fly. RB2 with RB1 juice.
71. Alfred Collins – DT, Texas
Toolsy. Inconsistent. Intriguing.
His length and frame scream “starter.” But the production doesn’t. You don’t draft Collins for what he is. You draft him for what he might become.
72. Mason Taylor – TE, LSU
Still figuring it out. But the outline is there.
More big receiver than in-line tight end. Needs weight room time. But the routes and mitts? Worth a flyer.
73. Jordan Burch – EDGE, Oregon
Looks like he was built in a lab. Plays like he’s still reading the manual.
If he figures out his hands and leverage, look out. For now? He’s a rotational 4-3 end with starting upside.
74. Ozzy Trapilo – OT, Boston College
Big, long, smart. Won’t wow. Won’t bust.
Plug-and-play swing tackle. Versatile. Strong IQ. A coach’s favorite and a defensive coordinator’s annoyance.
75. Chris Paul Jr. – LB, Ole Miss
Undersized. Undervalued. Underrated.
He plays fast, hits hard, and diagnoses quicker than most. Add weight, and you’ve got a starting WILL linebacker in two years.
Act IV (76–100): “The Hustlers, the Sleepers, and the Fixers”
These are the players with flaws you can live with, because the traits make you dream. A lot of Day 3 energy here. Some were stars who plateaued. Others bloomed late. Some come from nowhere. All of them? They’ve got a lane to stick in the league—and one or two of them? Might end up stealing the show. We’re not in the spotlight anymore. We’re in the war rooms. These are the names that get whispered late on Day 2, shouted across tables on Day 3. The value picks. The smart plays. The guys who turn into “How the hell did he fall that far?”
They don’t get invited to the green room. But they’ll be the ones blowing up your “X’ timeline next season.
76. Marcus Mbow – OT, Purdue
Doesn’t look like much, until he’s dancing in space.
Mbow’s got movement that makes you do a double take. But the strength? Still in development. He’s not going to drive defenders off the screen, but he’ll mirror them like a basketball point guard. Day 3 swing tackle or a surprise interior starter if a coach gets bold.
77. Terrance Ferguson – TE, Oregon
Not a bruiser. Not a freak. But he just gets open.
He’s a finesse TE2 with enough length to stick and enough hands to contribute. Inline? Limited. As a move piece or mismatch? Now you’re talking.
78. Vernon Broughton – DT, Texas
Technique is optional, apparently. Because the tape shows violence.
He needs hand refinement, but the power is real. Two-gapping is his jam. Put him in a 3-4 and let him eat up guards like pregame pancakes.
79. Joshua Farmer – DT, Florida State
Looks the part. Still figuring out how to play it.
Farmer flashes penetration, but the consistency isn’t there yet. He’s the kind of guy you draft and stash on the line of scrimmage—he’ll reward patience.
80. Jordan Phillips – DT, Maryland
A rock in the middle. Just don’t ask him to rush the passer.
Phillips will clog lanes, eat space, and give your linebackers freedom. He won’t fill up the box score, but he’ll keep your run game clean.
81. Tre Harris – WR, Ole Miss
Not built for the slot. Built for the sidelines.
Downfield threat with size and smooth tracking. He doesn’t separate with footwork—he separates with presence. He’s your WR3 with red-zone WR1 upside.
82. Elijah Roberts – EDGE, SMU
Undersized for the edge. Oversized for excuses.
He’s violent, versatile, and can play anywhere from 5-tech to 3-tech. Coaches will love his effort. Offenses will hate his leverage.
83. Jared Wilson – C, Georgia
One-year starter. Future ten-year vet.
Wilson’s anticipation is still baking, but his athletic profile is Sunday-ready. Zone-blocking teams, line up here.
84. Kevin Winston Jr. – S, Penn State
Injured. Dangerous. Worth the wait.
His 2023 tape had “top-50 pick” written all over it. The injury derailed the hype train. If he bounces back, this is a classic “we told you so” pick.
85. RJ Harvey – RB, UCF
Shifty. Slippery. Sneaky strong.
He’s a headache in open space. Good pass-catcher. Elite missed-tackle numbers. Needs to run angrier—but the juice is there.
86. Jaylin Noel – WR, Iowa State
Slot warrior with a linebacker’s frame.
Noel works the underneath game like a veteran. He’s not twitchy after the catch, but he’ll win with leverage, release, and a mean jab step.
87. Jonah Savaiinaea – OT, Arizona
If you can clean up the penalties, you’ve got something.
He’s big, he’s athletic, and he wants to bully you. His pass protection has promise, but technique is raw. A right tackle or guard with swing upside.
88. DJ Giddens – RB, Kansas State
Long legs. Long speed. Short memory.
Giddens sees holes, hits them, and dares safeties to catch up. Still learning how to finish runs violently. He’s the thunder in your rotation.
89. Jalen Royals – WR, Utah State
Smooth possession guy. Plays like a vet.
No flashy traits. Just reliability. Routes are clean. Hands are real. A WR4 who can turn into a QB’s best friend in two years.
90. Wyatt Milum – OT, West Virginia
Run-blocking specialist with mean hands.
He wants to bury you in the turf. Struggles when left solo in pass sets, but if you protect him with scheme, you’ve got a mauler with upside.
91. Tate Ratledge – G, Georgia
Downhill power. Straight-line tough.
Ratledge isn’t the smoothest mover, but if you want someone to clear space in the run game and stand his ground in pass pro, he’ll do it with a snarl.
92. Cameron Williams – OT, Texas
Raw. Flag-magnet. Massive upside.
He’s inconsistent. He’s undisciplined. But he’s long, powerful, and twitchy. You’re not drafting him for today. You’re drafting him for what he can be in 2027.
93. Savion Williams – WR, TCU
A 6’5” mismatch who does a little of everything.
You want size in your WR room? This is it. He’s not explosive, but he’s fluid for his size and can win on contested catches or as a creative chess piece.
94. Lathan Ransom – S, Ohio State
Instinctive. Smart. Physical.
He’s the safety who reads your QB’s eyes before your QB knows where he’s going. Doesn’t have elite range, but he takes smart angles and rarely misses.
95. Andrew Mukuba – S, Texas
He’s got range for days—and a brain to match.
Mukuba reminds me of a young Devin McCourty. Not flashy, but savvy. Will thrive in a free safety role, especially in quarters-heavy defenses.
96. Devin Neal – RB, Kansas
Three-down skill set. Two-down workload.
Neal does everything well, nothing elite—but it all adds up. Receiver. Blocker. Gap runner. Doesn’t have breakaway speed, but he’s reliable as hell.
97. Charles Grant – OT, William & Mary
Small school. Big ceiling.
Grant moves like a guard, plays like a tackle, and finishes like a mauler. The hand technique needs polishing, but the feet and frame are NFL.
98. Anthony Belton – OT, NC State
Long, raw, mean.
Belton’s tape is messy, but the traits flash. He fits in a power scheme and could be a year away from cracking a lineup.
99. Jalen Milroe – QB, Alabama
The most explosive quarterback in this class—and the riskiest.
Rocket arm. Track speed. Inconsistent reads. He’s a boom-or-bust prospect who needs time, structure, and faith. In the right hands? Special.
100. David Walker – EDGE, Central Arkansas
FCS production machine. Plays like he’s chasing ghosts.
Walker isn’t big. He isn’t fast. But good luck keeping him out of the backfield. He’ll carve a role as a stand-up pass rusher. Might just be this year’s biggest sleeper.
Fade to Black.
The lights dim. The curtain lingers. But there’s still one more act—the post-100 risers, sleepers, and those late-round picks who turn out to be Pro Bowlers while the rest of the league was sleeping. Tune in to The War Room: Beyond the Board.
