LIVE Thread for Prospect Discussion
Who are some prospects you loved that didn’t work out in the nfl? For me here a couple
Tim Williams Edge Alabama
I loved Williams during the 2017 draft and when the ravens took him in the 3rd round I thought he would become the next great pass rusher for them.
Evan Neal OT Alabama
Neal was my favorite Tackle in the 2022 Draft. I thought he would have a great career as a RT when the giants took him.
Hakeem Butler WR Iowa State
I love Butlers height and athleticism for his size. I thought he would be one of the best red zone threats in the league and would be the cardinals top WR after Fitzgerald left. But after spending his rookie year on IR he never seemed to get into a stride in the nfl
About this time last year, the big 6 QBs had solidified themselves, and Shedeur Sanders, Quinn Ewers, and Carson Beck were pretty commonly ranked with them as the top 9 QBs. In fact quite a few rankings were putting them above Nix, Penix, and even Daniels. They all returned to school, and were the 3 favorites to go first in 2025, but now it looks like Beck and Ewers might not even go in Round 1. My question is, if Sanders, Beck, and Ewers had come out last year where would they all have gotten drafted? Would there have been a 7th first round QB?
Talk about anything you please; draft-related or otherwise!
No hate, Im just wondering if this is a case of one player making another look better then they are. Hoping someone who watchings a lot of michigan games can let me know.
for example, PFF has him as the 7th best prospect, mock draft database has him at 19, ESPN has him at 20
Two very talented players with two very similar skill sets, but Stowers is a TE (vandy) and Higgins is a WR (iowa state). They are both 6’4, great route running, not many drops, great red zone targets. Stowers is very light for a tight end at around 225 pounds. He had a great game against Alabama. Higgins is more consistent and seemingly catches a touchdown every game. Who is the better NFL prospect, assuming Stowers is converted to a receiver on the next level? I’m guessing Stowers is more of a project while Higgins is more NFL-ready.

Hey all,
Welcome back to the next part of my midseason scouting series. Today, I’ll be covering the top 20 running backs for the 2025 NFL draft. Similar to my midseason quarterback rankings, these rankings aren’t as in-depth as my final rankings but I still wanted to put them together to get an assessment of the class. Also, like the quarterback rankings, I have comps for my top 5 backs as well.
This is an incredibly deep class so I feel like there are still backs that could make an impact in the NFL who didn’t make it on the list or as an honorable mention. Be sure to let me know who you think I’m too high or too low on or if there is anyone you think should have been included.
Also, you can check out my rankings video on YouTube with this link if you want more details on the players or my rationale for the rankings: https://youtu.be/iPbVvxbYGSY

Link in description
1- Travis Hunter (CB/WR)- New England Patriots; Patriots we end up with the worst record to finish the season and here at #1 we take Travis Hunter who is a 2 way player who can play both sides of the ball on offense as a receiver who would be a plus for Drake Maye and on defense if he plays corner; him and Christian Gonzalez locking up people on opposite sides then give me Hunter all day
2- Will Johnson (CB)- Jacksonville Jaguars; Jaguars go cornerback here with their pick at #2 since corner is a position of need and here they take Will Johnson as the next best thing since they lose out on Travis at #1
3- Shedeur Sanders (QB)- New Orleans Saints; Saints here go quarterback and take Deion's son 3rd overall; makes sense for the Saints especially if you want to move on eventually from Derek Carr and we still don't know if Spencer Rattler is the long term answer for the Saints at the quarterback position; plus Shedeur can sit behind Carr and learn
4- Mason Graham (DL)- Carolina Panthers; Panthers here at #4 do not go quarterback and they decide to keep believing in Bryce Young but instead they prioritize defense here by going with Graham who is one of the best defensive players in this whole draft
5- Cam Ward (QB)- Cleveland Browns; Browns draft their quarterback for the future in Ward out of Miami; Cam has star potential written on him and in Cleveland they need that in the worst way especially if you want to move on from Deshaun Watson; dual threat QB who has great pocket presence and can use his legs to run to extend drives
6- Garrett Nussmeier (QB)- Las Vegas Raiders; Raiders also go quarterback here and after missing out on Shedeur and on Ward take Nussmeier here at 6th overall to be their future; LSU guy
7- Will Campbell (OT)- New York Football Giants; Giants go offensive tackle and not quarterback as they ride it out with Daniel Jones for another season and instead give him protection by taking Will Campbell here at #7
8- Malaki Starks (S)- Miami Dolphins 🐬
9- Kelvin Banks Jr (OT)- Tennessee Titans; Titans don't go quarterback here with this pick but instead go with an offensive tackle giving Will Levis protection or whoever the quarterback ends up being
10- Tyler Warren (TE)- New York Jets
11- Tetairoa McMillan (WR)- Dallas Cowboys; Cowboys don't go running back but go wide receiver here at 11 and take McMillan who is wide receiver 1 for this whole Draft; that's how good McMillan is and he can help offset Ceedee in the offense for next season
12- Xavier Watts (S)- Indianapolis Colts
13- Walter Nolen (DL)- Cincinnati Bengals
14- James Pearce Jr (EDGE)- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
15- Jonah Savaiinaea (OL)- Seattle Seahawks
16- Mansoor Delane (CB)- Los Angeles Rams
17- Jahdae Barron (CB)- San Francisco 49ers
18- Tyler Booker (IOL)- Chicago Bears
19- Colston Loveland (TE)- Denver Broncos
20- Nic Scourton (EDGE)- Arizona Cardinals
21- Kenneth Grant (DL)- Los Angeles Chargers
22- Abdul Carter (EDGE)- Atlanta Falcons
23- Deone Walker (DL)- Green Bay Packers
24- Mykel Williams (EDGE)- Baltimore Ravens
25- Tyleik Williams (DT)- Houston Texans
26- Jalon Walker (LB/EDGE)- Philadelphia Eagles
27- Emeka Egbuka (WR)- Pittsburgh Steelers
28- Ashton Jeanty (RB)- Minnesota Vikings
29- Tre Harris (WR)- Washington Commanders
30- Will Lee III (CB)- Buffalo Bills 🐃
31- JT Tuimoloau (EDGE)- Detroit Lions
32- Luther Burden III (WR)- Kansas City Chiefs
Have a bold prediction that you want to state proudly but will most likely look very stupid in short time? Have at it! Maybe you’ll nail it and look like a genius in the future
Please don’t downvote a user for a stupid bold prediction; it’s all just for fun!
Draft order was based on NFL Mock Draft Database's order, though I made some slight changes.
The Panthers return to draft another first overall QB. It’s a sad situation but this might be how it has to be. If they don’t want a QB I think they trade back and take an EDGE.
The Patriots need a LT, Banks is probably their guy. We’ll see how guys like Campbell and Ersery look, but for now I’d say they go with Banks. They could probably also trade back and still get the OT1, so they may want to try that if they end up picking this early.
The Saints have plenty of needs, but of the positions they need, I think Scourton provides the most value. He’s a power rusher who would fit into their defense nicely. I don’t think this is the draft for them to take a QB, so they might as well build up their defense. They have decent weapons and their O-line could use work, but I think building their defense is important.
The Jaguars will not want to pass on a talent like Hunter. The Jags could use a little help on their O line, but I don’t think there will be more than 1 OT deserving to go top 5 in this draft, so I think they’ll go for one in free agency.
The Raiders need a QB. They need many other things, but QB is their biggest need. They obviously don’t have that many weapons to surround a new QB at the moment, but they want to find a QB to build their team around.
The Browns might want a first-round QB, but after Ward and Sanders there is nobody else who is really worth it this early. Maybe they stay with Winston, or maybe they sign a free agent, but they can at least start building up their offense.
The Titans are also a team in dire need of a QB, but none of the other QBs should be drafted this early, so I have them drafting an edge rusher since they could use a dominant force in their pass rush.
The Giants are the third team in a row that needs a QB but should not go for one. The Giants defense has been better than expected, but they could definitely use a good CB. I definitely consider Will Johnson a top 5 player in this draft, so he’s a great value pick at 8.
DT is one of the few clear needs for the Dolphins. Graham is definitely a top 10 pick. I doubt they’d draft anybody else here.
The Jets have enough weapons and they have the pieces they need on defense. One thing they haven’t had is consistent protection for Rodgers. I hesitated to give them another OT after they drafted one early last draft, but their O-line is old and struggling.
Ashton Jeanty is one of the best college RBs I have ever seen. RBs are often labeled as risky or pointless picks early in the draft, but I believe exceptions should be made for players who are clearly game-changers (like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs). The Cowboys need a RB more than any other team and for some reason did not draft a RB last draft and decided to go into the season with a hole at the position. Jeanty can make Dallas’ offense complete again.
The Colts need a CB. As of now, Morrison is the clear CB3 and is the only other CB that could go top 15 apart from Johnson and Hunter. Some people are mocking DL to the Colts, but they have Paye, Latu, Stewart, and Buckner. That looks pretty solid to me, so I’m giving them a CB since they’ve really struggled with them in the past. They could also use a safety and I thought about giving them Malaki Starks, but ultimately decided not to. If you are a Colts fan, let me know if you would choose Morrison or Starks. I feel like Starks is the better prospect, but they need a CB more.
The Bengals have had major struggles defensively. Some people are mocking a DT to them, but they just drafted Kris Jenkins who I feel like will develop into a well above average DT, so I’m giving them Starks at 13. The Bengals need a CB too, but after Morrison there isn’t a CB that’s worth it at 13 and they’ve been really struggling at safety.Getting a blue chip prospect like Starks would be a step in the right direction for them.
The Seahawks need OL or EDGE in the first and I think Pearce is a good pick for them. Other than their needs, I don’t know much about what Seattle is looking for, so Seattle fans let me know what you want.
The Broncos could definitely benefit from a good WR. Courtland Sutton does not get consistent targets and the Broncos are lacking WR depth. Burden opens up opportunities for creative playcalling. He may be considered a little gadget-y, but that may be what this Denver offense needs.
The Buccaneers offense has been good this year and Zyon McCollum is having a great season and making CB seem like less of an issue, so I think it’s time for them to draft an edge rusher. They could use a big playmaker on defense and Williams could be that guy.
The 49ers have plenty of weapons, but a lot of fans seem to want offensive line security with Trent Williams getting older. I have tried to give them CBs in the past but they seem to want OL, so I am giving them Simmons.
The Bears have been having problems in pass protection all year, but noticeably at the beginning of the season. They will keep developing Darnell Wright at RT, but will want to replace Braxton Jones at LT. After fixing up this line and refining Caleb Williams, this Bears offense shouldn’t have any problems, and obviously their defense is already good, though they could use another EDGE. That’s a problem to be addressed in the second round.
The Rams need a CB badly. Tre’Davious White’s contract expires at the end of the season and they don’t have any other established CBs. Though I do not think Revel should go this early, I think the Rams may be willing to reach for him. That or they may trade back and take him or another CB.
The Cardinals could definitely use some D-line help. They drafted Darius Robinson at EDGE/DE and we have yet to see him play, but for now they still need a NT and Grant can be their guy. He’s huge and is a great athlete. This young DL core can boost their run defense tremendously.
I was unsure about giving the Chargers a WR or DT here. I figured the Chargers defense has been pretty good this year, so they could hold off until the 2nd round. I liked McConkey last year and he’s looked great so far, but so have the other Chargers WRs and TEs, so at a certain point we have to start asking how much of it is because of Justin Herbert, so I have them taking another WR. They could use a TE too, but I wouldn’t take any of them this early.
The Falcons' biggest need is at EDGE. Umanmielen has great athleticism, IQ, and motor that will help him at the next level.
I don’t have much of an explanation for this, other than that I understand DT is a need for Green Bay. I made this pick before they traded away Preston Smith, so they could be going for an EDGE. I don’t know how much they like Lukas Van Ness, but I think EDGE or DT is the move here. They could also use another CB, but I think they have enough starting-level CBs to manage without a first-round CB.
I have a lot of friends who are Ravens fans and I don’t know if this is the move for them, but they’re always talking about the O line. Before it was about OT, but they seem to think Rosengarten is good enough. I think they could use an EDGE, but they seem to be fine with Van Noy and Oweh. Savaiinaea is an OT who I think will be turned into a guard, but I think he could also be kicked out to tackle, where he has experience playing both sides.
Marcus Mbow is still pretty underrated. He plays OT at Purdue, but I don’t think he’ll play it in the NFL and he seems more like an OG to me. The Texans seem to be struggling with interior blocking. I think they also have a hole to fill in their D line, but this one seems more significant. Stroud has been sacked 30 times, the second most in the league.
Jalon Walker has been amazing at Georgia, but there are questions about how his build and tools will translate over to the NFL. I think he should be fine. He kind of reminds me of Chris Braswell with his size, build, speed, and ability to drop back in coverage, though I think it’s clear that Walker is a better prospect. Him and Williams have been absolute game-wreckers at Georgia, and I think Walker at 26 could be great value.
The Steelers traded for Mike Williams earlier while I was writing this, but I don’t think that changes anything. I doubt we re-sign him and even if we did, I don’t think that clears us of this need. Our second biggest need is CB, but none of them are worth it here and there are some good mid-late 1st round WR prospects that would be good for us, like Bond, Harris, and Egbuka. I think Egbuka is the best move for us. His speed is a huge threat, he’s quick, and he has good hands. He seems like the full package.
I know Walker’s stock has been dropping, but the VIkings need a DT and I think he’s still a first round talent. The Vikings could use a CB too, but there aren’t many late first CBs who are worth taking. I think they could go for Tacario Davis, but only if they really wanted him.
The Commanders just traded for Marshon Lattimore and should (and will) obviously try to re-sign him next season. This makes CB less of a need. I think OL and WR could be a good move for Washington too, but at the end of the day, their offense isn’t struggling at all, even if they may have some holes, so they might as well build up their defense if their offense is performing at the highest level. Ezeiruaku and Sawyer are the best remaining EDGEs at this point, but Ezeiruaku seems to be a riser.
The Bills could use some help on their D line. Overton has good versatility across the line and can line up at 5-tech and 3-tech effectively. Could use some refinement with pass-rushing, but he’s a good run-stopper with good instincts.
I made these picks before the trade deadline and started writing descriptions while approaching the deadline, so this was without Za’Darius Smith being on the Lions. That being said, Smith is probably a rental for the Lions playoff run without Aidan Hutchinson, so I think they’ll still be looking for an EDGE in the draft. Sawyer is a powerful edge with a good motor and value against the run.
I’ve been mocking Colston Loveland or a WR to the Chiefs most of the time, but I’ve seen people saying they need OT, so I have them taking Williams this time. His size is great, his anchor is great, and he has a strong punch. His footwork needs some work, but he’s somewhat of a project and I think the Chiefs will be willing to draft him for his natural abilities. To be fair, most OTs at this point come into the league pretty raw.
Who are some prospects that you think should transfer to help out their draft stock? I have a couple I think should transfer
Drew Allar If he returns to college I think he should transfer out of penn st. I think it would do him a lot of good to transfer to a school with some better weapons that would let him show off his abilities more. I think ole miss, Alabama, Florida, Miami, and Oklahoma would help his stock
Nyck Harbor I think him transferring to an air raid system would benefit him a lot with his skill set. Western Kentucky, ole miss, Mississippi st and Texas tech would be good fits for him
MACtion is clearly the most important thing going on tonight, and its a great time to watch Fannin. I'm not sure he is a first round talent due to his size, but I think some team is going to be very happy snagging him in Rounds 2-4. Dude put up 137 on 11 receptions against Penn State, 145 on 8 receptions against TAMU, 193 on 12 receptions against Old Dominion, and 171 on 10 catches against Kent State.
Easily the best player I have seen at BGSU (am I biased? Yup!). He reminds me a ton of Colston Loveland, with a tad bit less size. He lines up all over the field, and BG basically plans their entire offense around him. Will be very interesting to see how CMU tries to shut him down, NIU is the only team that has been able too this year.
Where do you guys see him going? He said this is his last year at BG, so its either a P5 transfer or the NFL
So I was thinking about positional value, and I think DE and CB are both over valued, and IDL/ IOL are undervalued.
The largest factor for me there is availability. There are a lot of serviceable to good DE and CB available every year in free agency. There are maybe a handful of IDL/IOL options.
For DE/ Edge: Hunter, Greenard, Van Ginkel, Armstead, Young, ZDS, Autry, Floyd, Clowney, Armstrong, Chaisson.
Lots of CBs as well - Fuller, Fulton, Moore, awuzie, Williams, Gilmore, Nixon, Dane Jackson, etc.
Yet you look at guards or DTs and there are barely any that hit free agency, and almost every team in the NFL is desperate for OL help.
Why aren’t guards and DTs pushing up into the earlier/ 1st round more?
This is the place to post your own work. You have a blog? You have a YouTube channel? You have a small scouting site starting up? Drop it here my friend. Unless you are writing for ESPN or B/R or something, this is where it should be.

So I’ve noticed with mock drafts that a lot of people are projecting the bengals to take a DT in the first even though they spent a 2nd and 3rd round pick on DT’s last year and this happens every year with every position outside of QB. I always wonder why people do this when those rookies are doing okay and showing improvement.
Hey all,
It's been way too long since I posted here but I'm happy to be back! I haven't been as active since I typically mostly scout offensive players during the season and then will scout defensive players in the winter but I still wanted to post my midseason rankings. These are bit late but I still wanted to cover these to provide some context of how my summer rankings have changed this deep into the college football season. So, I put together my top 15 2025 college quarterbacks and included a few honorable mentions.
For those who didn’t follow my work last year, I do charting for all the quarterback prospects I scout for my final rankings but these midseason rankings don’t have any charting. However, I do have tentative comps for the top 5 quarterbacks to help gauge their talent.
Also, I'm posting this after week 10 but the video and rankings were made prior to the week 10 games due to my schedule. Speaking of that video, I have a link to my YouTube video with more detail on each player down below for anyone interested.

With all of that out of the way, let’s get to the rankings!

Before the season started, Burden was supposed to be the top WR prospect. He’s still widely considered the WR2 in this class, but he really hasn’t done that much. He’s averaging 56 yards per game and 11.3 yards/catch. Is this an issue of how teams are playing against him or planning against him or an issue of how he’s playing?
