1. Travis Hunter WR/CB
Player Comp: Devonta Smith & Derek Stingley
Unicorn, a one-of-one player who could become something we’ve never seen. Instinctual, technique-sound boundary corner who doubles as an explosive WR, especially in the red zone.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
2. Abdul Carter EDGE
Player Comp: T.J. Watt
Explosive edge rusher who converted from off-ball linebacker in 2024. Tons of room to develop with Unreal tools and proven production in a premier conference.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
3. Mason Graham DT
Player Comp: Jeffrey Simmons
Proven 3-tech with a strong pass rush bag and elite run-stopping ability. Will anchor a defensive line from Day 1.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
4. Tyler Warren TE
Player Comp: George Kittle
Do-it-all tight end who can block, make plays at all three levels, and even lined up at wildcat QB. Great YAC and physicality. Easy TE1 in this class.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
5. Tetairoa McMillan WR
Player Comp: Drake London
Elite hands, size, finesse, and YAC ability. Some speed concerns, but fluidity and wingspan make him a dangerous WR prospect.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
6. Ashton Jeanty RB

Generational talent at RB who can step in as a three-down back. Elite vision, burst, and YAC ability that makes him ready to give defenses nightmares immediately.
— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
7. Will Campbell OT
Player Comp: Ryan Ramczyk
Most polished and decorated OL in the draft. Mauls in the run game and has elite recovery skills. Arm length concerns won’t stop him from dominating early.

Dominant interior lineman with a mix of size and explosiveness. Consistently wreaks havoc in the backfield.
— Analysis by Brady Penn

Player Comp: Ben Roethlisberger
Elite improviser who maintains accuracy off-platform and processes defenses at a high level. Needs to clean up footwork and ball security, but franchise QB upside is there.
— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
10. Will Johnson CB
Player Comp: Sauce Gardner
Elite corner with length and instincts. 9 career INTs and was a proven CB1 on one of the nation’s top defenses. Rarely beaten deep.
— Analysis by Brady Penn

Talented tackle with fluid pass protection and freak athleticism. Not as polished, but has the most upside of any tackle in the class.
— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
12. Jahdae Barron CB
Player Comp: Julian Love
Versatile DB with strong 2024 production. Better in slot or safety roles than as a pure boundary corner. Good ball skills and positional flexibility.

Falling in mocks due to off-field concerns, but has elite strength, speed, and a deep pass rush bag. A true difference-maker when locked in.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
14. Malaki Starks S
Player Comp: Jessie Bates
Run-stuffing safety who can line up anywhere — box, slot, deep. Elite speed and range make him a plug-and-play impact defender.
— Analysis by Brady Penn
15. Luther Burden III WR
Player Comp: Jaxon Smith-Njigba

21-year-old athletic linebacker with twitch, range, and excellent coverage skills. Raw, but possesses cornerstone defensive upside.
— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter

— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
18. Kelvin Banks Jr. OT
Player Comp: Alijah Vera-Tucker
Athletic tackle with strong footwork, hand techniques, and leverage. High floor at the next level, though his size could kick him inside.
— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
19. Kenneth Grant DT
Player Comp: Levi Onwuzurike
Explosive for his size and one of the best run stuffers in the draft. Day-one starter who needs polish as a pass rusher to reach Pro Bowl potential.

A hybrid defender who flashes in multiple roles. Great motor and closing speed, but needs a defined position to unlock full value.

Refined slot WR with polished route running and reliable hands. Can struggle against the press but projects as an immediate contributor inside.

— Analysis by Ryan Linkletter
34. TreVeyon Henderson HB

Strong and savvy guard who shines in pass protection. He can be a plug-and-play IOL with an upside if he improves run-blocking fundamentals.

Athletic freak with tools for days but lacking production. Teams will bet on his physical traits to develop into a dynamic safety.

Player Comp: Rashee Rice
Vertical and intermediate weapons with strong route running and body control. Needs to work on hands but can be a WR1 in the right scheme.
