It's time to update my top 50 prospect rankings for the 2025 NFL draft, which begins on April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The combine has occurred since I last updated this list. And after watching many of the top prospects work out in Indianapolis, along with talking to scouts and NFL talent evaluators, there were some significant changes. There will be more before the draft begins, as colleges are conducting their pro days and NFL teams will be hosting prospects at team facilities between now and the draft.

One thing that continues to stand out about this class is the lack of conviction among talent evaluators. There is a handful of elite talents -- maybe five or six. After that, scouts cannot agree on where to rank players. I heard varying grades on many -- a prospect would receive a top-10 grade from one scout and a second-round grade from another. But while scout feedback is an important part of the process, I'm throwing out the consensus and basing this top 50 on my grades alone.

I included scouting reports on each of the top 50 prospects, then listed my top guys at every position at the bottom. Underclassmen are marked with an asterisk.

1. Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State*

Height: 6-3 | Weight: 250

The transition from linebacker and part-time pass rusher to full-time defensive end has been great for Carter's NFL future. He had 61 pressures and 12 sacks in 2024, and his 18.5% pressure rate was third nationally. He has speed and burst off the snap, but he also has the power to move offensive tackles off their spots. And he's still learning how to be a full-time pass rusher, so there's upside. Carter started the season in the middle of my Round 1 board but has shot up to the top spot based on strong weekly performances and potential. Teams in the top five would be wise to consider him regardless of need.
