The 2025 NFL draft begins April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We're getting closer. It's a great time to update my list of top 50 draft prospects.
Since I last released this list, more than 300 draft hopefuls converged on the combine in Indianapolis, where they worked out, got measured and talked to NFL coaches, scouts and front office personnel. The evaluation process is far from over, though. Pro days have started, and players will be making visits to NFL facilities. But this is how I see the class right now, starting with one of the most unique players to play college football in a quarter century.
I included scouting reports on each of the top 50 players and then listed my top picks at every position at the bottom. Underclassmen are marked with an asterisk. Let's get after it.

1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado*
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 188
Hunter's combination of natural instincts, ball skills and positional flexibility is why he continues to be the top player on my board. He had 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a receiver, but was arguably better at cornerback, where he tied for second in the Big 12 with four interceptions. His ability to play both ways has elicited comparisons to Hall of Famers Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson, and there are legitimate questions about where he'll play in the NFL. Hunter could be the first corner to be drafted No. 1 overall or the first receiver selected with that pick since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996.
