- Cowboys fans want WR Tetairoa McMillan: McMillan has All-Pro potential because of his length, athleticism and football intelligence. He's a smooth criminal of a receiver who was the focal point of Arizona's offense. He is a unique talent who deserves to be considered in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft.
- And with the first overall pick, Titans fans select… QB Cam Ward: Appreciating Ward — an unorthodox, big-game quarterback — requires a leap of faith. He is ultra-confident, at times to a fault. His mentality could one day make him an All-Pro — that is, if his fundamentals don't drop him from the league entirely.

JUMP TO A TEAM:
ARZ | ATL | BLT | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN | CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | IND | JAX | KC | LVR | LAC | LAR | MIA | MIN | NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF | SEA | TB | TEN | WSH
Arizona Cardinals: CB Will Johnson, Michigan
Johnson is a long, lean cornerback with elite foot quickness and change-of-direction fluidity. His limited long speed will create questions about his man coverage reliability in the NFL, but having him play off coverage with his eyes on the ball as a zone-scheme wide cornerback could allow him to make impactful plays more often.
Atlanta Falcons: EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
Green has only two years of starting experience and not the best competition to measure NFL talent over the past two years. However, he absolutely dominated the way you'd want a future NFL player to with elite pass-rush and run-defense grades in addition to high-90th-percentile numbers in win rate and run stops. He has top-50 all-around ability and projects as a starting-caliber outside linebacker in a 3-4 front.
Baltimore Ravens: EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Pearce is the kind of athlete with the production and disruption scores you don't let out of the first round. His twitchy movements show difference-making NFL traits that can be situational at worst and All-Pro at best.
Buffalo Bills: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
Amos brings an ideal blend of size, movement skills and coverage scheme versatility to the cornerback position. While his explosiveness and speed aren't anything special, his 2024 film shows he has a CB2 floor in the NFL with the potential to be a CB1.
Carolina Panthers: LB/EDGE Jalon Walker, Georgia
Walker is a physically and athletically gifted player who presents box presence versatility as an off-ball linebacker. His anticipation and pass-rush profile are lacking for consistent impact in the NFL. He must improve as a pass-rusher or his off-ball instincts to be worth a top-50 selection due to age and potential.
Chicago Bears: Dl Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
Nolen isn't the most polished interior defender, but he might be among the most physically gifted. If he continues to grow in his pre-snap plan and hand usage, he can be an impactful, versatile defensive tackle with a high floor due to his strength in run defense.
Cincinnati Bengals: Dl Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
Nolen isn't the most polished interior defender, but he might be among the most physically gifted. If he continues to grow in his pre-snap plan and hand usage, he can be an impactful, versatile defensive tackle with a high floor due to his strength in run defense.
Cleveland Browns: CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado
Hunter is one of the most talented players I have ever scouted. As a cornerback, he brings good mirror-matching movements and truly elite ball skills. He can be a bit out of control and lacks some density, which gets most exposed in press-man coverage. As a primary zone defender with press-man flexibility, he can be an immediate starting cornerback with an All-Pro ceiling.
Dallas Cowboys: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
McMillan has All-Pro potential because of his length, athleticism and football intelligence. He's a smooth criminal of a receiver who was the focal point of Arizona's offense. He is a unique talent who deserves to be considered in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Denver Broncos: RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
Hampton is one of the class’ most physically gifted running backs with his combination of size, explosiveness and lower-body strength. He can be a productive slasher type of runner behind zone schemes, but his overall vision could make him a boom-or-bust producer, depending on his offensive line.
Detroit Lions: EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Pearce is the kind of athlete with the production and disruption scores you don't let out of the first round. His twitchy movements show difference-making NFL traits that can be situational at worst and All-Pro at best.
Green Bay Packers: WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
There seems to be some draft fatigue with Egbuka, who has been talked about as an NFL prospect for three years. Don't fall for it. He's a high-floor, versatile and savvy receiver as a borderline WR1/WR2.
Houston Texans: T Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Simmons brings impressive flexibility, leverage, foot speed, balance and hand work to the NFL with an adequate frame. He lacks a bit of power in the run game and is coming off an ACL tear in 2024, but his movement skills and football intelligence make him worthy of a top-50 pick and a shot to be a starter early on.
Indianapolis Colts: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
Warren is a do-everything tight end whom any coach would love to input into their offense. He isn't a twitchy or flexible athlete who can unlock the whole route tree, but his versatility is incredibly valuable in the run and pass games — and worthy of a first-round selection.
Jacksonville Jaguars: DI Mason Graham, Michigan
An explosive interior defender with an elite first step, Graham combines excellent bend and flexibility with fast, powerful hands. His devastating push-pull move makes him a nightmare for blockers, while his strength allows him to anchor and hold the line effectively.
Kansas City Chiefs: OT Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon
Conerly has very good movement skills for a player who also brings adequate size and length to the tackle position. His game can lack some anticipation and strength, but if he continues to improve in those areas, he holds the skill set to be a reliable NFL starter — one who can be impactful for a zone blocking scheme.
Las Vegas Raiders: RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
Jeanty is a total-package backfield playmaker with impressive balance, footwork, vision, explosiveness and big-play ability — reminiscent of Alvin Kamara. He is a first-round offensive weapon who can succeed behind any blocking scheme.
Los Angeles Chargers: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Loveland lacks the density to play as an inline tight end consistently in the NFL, but he brings plenty of value as a tall, long pass catcher with natural hands and crisp routes to line up as a big slot or “X” receiver. He also has some versatility to play attached to the line of scrimmage in certain situations.
Los Angeles Rams: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Loveland lacks the density to play as an inline tight end consistently in the NFL, but he brings plenty of value as a tall, long pass catcher with natural hands and crisp routes to line up as a big slot or “X” receiver. He also has some versatility to play attached to the line of scrimmage in certain situations.
Miami Dolphins: CB Will Johnson, Michigan
Johnson is a long, lean cornerback with elite foot quickness and change-of-direction fluidity. His limited long speed will create questions about his man coverage reliability in the NFL, but having him play off coverage with his eyes on the ball as a zone-scheme wide cornerback could allow him to make impactful plays more often.
Minnesota Vikings: S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Starks was a playmaker in the SEC for three straight seasons. He brings good football IQ, tackling and movement ability to play free, strong and slot. He isn't a rare athlete, but he's a starting-caliber player for the backend of any defense.
New England Patriots: OT Will Campbell, LSU
Campbell is an offensive lineman’s offensive lineman. He approaches the position with excellent respect for what it takes to be great in the trenches: fundamentals, IQ and competitive toughness. His length and flexibility limitations might push him inside in the NFL, but this is a starting-caliber player at all five spots.
New Orleans Saints: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Sanders may be below average in stature and arm talent compared to NFL quarterbacks, but he plays the game cleanly, takes care of the football and is tough as nails with ice in his veins under pressure.
New York Giants: EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State
A rare athlete for the position, he combines elite explosiveness and bend with a natural feel for pass rushing. Despite his lighter frame, he plays with physicality and uses his basketball background to his advantage, displaying a crossover-like style to keep blockers off balance.
SHEDEUR SANDERS' 2025 NFL DRAFT PROFILE
New York Jets: T Armand Membou, Missouri
Membou combines balance, power, and mobility, thanks to his impressive hip and hamstring flexibility. His quick feet allow him to mirror defenders, while his effectiveness as a puller and lead blocker adds to his versatility. With solid arm length for the pro level, he has the tools to be a dependable tackle at the next stage.
Philadelphia Eagles: EDGE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
Scourton brings an alluring combination of overall size and pass-rush moves to the edge spot, which gives him ideal versatility for 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. However, he does have some length and flexibility limitations. In his current state, he feels like a player who can disrupt and amass pressure but won't be a high-sack-count rusher.
Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Sanders may be below average in stature and arm talent compared to NFL quarterbacks, but he plays the game cleanly, takes care of the football and is tough as nails with ice in his veins under pressure.
San Francisco 49ers: Dl Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
Nolen isn't the most polished interior defender, but he might be among the most physically gifted. If he continues to grow in his pre-snap plan and hand usage, he can be an impactful, versatile defensive tackle with a high floor due to his strength in run defense.
Seattle Seahawks: T/G Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
Zabel is a five-position lineman who brings everything but elite arm length to the position. He is an easy projection to start at center or guard for primarily a zone blocking scheme, but he is well-rounded enough to be run-game versatile.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
Campbell has the ideal build and athletic ability to play any linebacker spot, but he projects best to a Mike or Sam LB in 4-3 schemes or a Mike/EDGE in a 3-4. He must continue to develop anticipation and strength, but he has the mold of an All-Pro player.
Tennessee Titans: QB Cameron Ward, Miami (FL)
Appreciating Ward — an unorthodox, big-game quarterback — requires a leap of faith. He is ultra-confident, at times to a fault. His mentality could one day make him an All-Pro — that is, if his fundamentals don't drop him from the league entirely.
Washington Commanders: RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
Hampton is one of the class’ most physically gifted running backs with his combination of size, explosiveness and lower-body strength. He can be a productive slasher type of runner behind zone schemes, but his overall vision could make him a boom-or-bust producer, depending on his offensive line.
