My annual exercise of getting to know the prospects gearing up to enter the NFL this year is currently in full swing as the start of the draft is now just over 3 weeks away. There's a bit of a Groundhog Day feeling to this class as many of the same problems that plagued the 2025 Draft have once again materialized this year as the quarterback pool is once again frighteningly shallow, almost none of the top tackle prospects are projected to be able to play on the left side of the line in the NFL and there's plenty of question marks surrounding just how high the ceilings are for the bulk of the players that are projected to go in the top 50. The good news is that there's some solid depth at multiple key positions (wide receiver, cornerback, edge rusher) and a fair amount of potential immediate high impact players sitting at the top of the board. Here are my picks for the top 25 prospects in this year's draft class that I've gotten the chance to evaluate thus far.
