1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Hunter probably has a higher ceiling at cornerback than receiver based on his traits and elite production already in that role. As a corner, he wins with his intelligence. His ability to anticipate throws and break quickly makes him a ball hawk in the secondary. As a receiver, his reliable hands and efficient route technique set a high floor. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Despite his incredible college production, Hunter lacks elite size/speed/agility traits, which may limit his ceiling. His anticipation skills, which greatly aided his coverage production in college, likely won’t help as frequently against NFL receivers and cornerbacks. As a receiver, his lack of size coupled with below-average after-catch production limits the roles he can play. 

Good team fits: Anyone who plays football on Sundays 

2. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Jeanty is a physical between-the-tackles runner with enough speed to be a home run threat when he gets to the open field. He has the potential to be a rare ball carrier in this era that can consistently handle 20 or more touches per game. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Jeanty’s production has been uneven as a pass catcher. If he can’t establish himself as a threat on passing downs, he’ll be limited to early-down usage, which would significantly hurt his value. 

Good team fits: Bears, Broncos, Cowboys, Raiders, Chargers, Steelers 

3. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Warren plays with the physicality of a throwback tight end but with enough athleticism to still fit into today’s game. He’s a possession receiver but turns into a Brandon Jacobs-like ball carrier after the catch, giving him the potential to turn simple plays into big gains. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Although he was Penn State’s go-to weapon in the passing game, he probably lacks the elite athleticism to fill that role in the NFL. Too many NFL linebackers and safeties have the traits to limit Warren’s ability to separate, so he’ll make a greater impact in an offense where someone else can attract attention away from him. 

Good team fits: Bears, Panthers, Colts, Jaguars, Chargers, Jets, Seahawks

4. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

McMillan is a traditional X receiver who wins with his size on the outside. Despite his size, he’s also dangerous after the catch, a trait which may also allow for some outside/slot versatility. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Since he’s unafraid of competing for the ball in traffic, his routes may have gone underdeveloped in college. He needs to focus on his technique to more consistently create separation. He’ll find more defensive backs capable of matching his physical play in the NFL. 

Good team fits: Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, Saints, Cowboys, Seahawks, Chargers 

5. Kelvin Banks Jr, OL, Texas

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Banks played left tackle at Texas and has the length and athleticism to stay in that role, though some teams may believe his traits have a higher ceiling at guard. He wins with athleticism and a patient, controlled approach to pass protection. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Given his size, there’s a surprising lack of power to his game. Adding more weight would risk losing his athleticism, so it’s unclear if this is a fixable issue. He’ll also need to clean up some penalty issues (13 over the last two years). 

Good team fits: Colts, Bears, Packers, Texans, Rams, Chiefs

6. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Egbuka primarily lined up in the slot at Ohio State, taking over Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s role, though he has the tools to line up anywhere. He wins with efficient route technique and reliable hands 一 a skillset which sets a high floor.  

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Unlike some of his former Ohio State teammates, Egbuka lacks elite physical traits in terms of size and speed. Those traits limit his ceiling and may force him to primarily play from the slot in the NFL as well. 

Good team fits: Bengals, Texans, Steelers, Chargers, Packers, Bills

7. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Simmons can start immediately at left or right tackle (once he’s healthy). He has experience in both roles and was nearly flawless as Ohio State’s left tackle last fall before a season-ending injury. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Due to his injury, we really only have a five game sample size of Simmons playing at his peak, and it wasn’t against the best competition (only two full Big Ten games). His play was more inconsistent in 2023, so doubts as to the sustainability of his dominant run are fair. 

Good team fits: Bears, Eagles, Chiefs, Patriots, Packers, Rams, Browns

8. Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Jackson is well established as a powerful run blocker on the interior offensive line. However, his dominant run as Ohio State’s left tackle while filling in for Josh Simmons opened up the possibility he could play tackle in the pros. He has the length for the position, and probably deserves a shot 一 he can always be shifted back inside if it doesn’t work out. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Does he have the athleticism to stay at tackle? If he’s a guard, he’ll need to continue developing his lower-body strength to better anchor against the NFL’s top bull rushers. 

Good team fits: Texans, Lions, Bengals, Bears, Colts, Steelers, Eagles

9. Armand Membou, OL, Missouri

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Membou has the athleticism to play tackle and the size/strength combination to play on the interior. That versatility elevates his floor, as his future team can move him around to find the ideal spot. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Does he have the right tools to stay at tackle? We don’t see many 6-foot-4, 330-pound offensive tackles these days. He also lacks ideal power in the run game 一 though he just turned 21 in March, so it’s reasonable to expect growth in that area. 

Good team fits: Dolphins, Saints, Bears, Seahawks, Packers, Rams

10. Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Sanders plays quarterback like a point guard, winning with athleticism and the ability to distribute the ball with accuracy to all levels of the field. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

If Sanders doesn’t learn how to get rid of the ball, it will be a fatal flaw. He has a tendency to drift back in the pocket and hold the ball far too long, often taking avoidable sacks. Although he’s a good athlete, he lacks the 99th percentile athleticism and arm strength required to maintain this style of play.

Good team fits: Browns, Giants, Jets, Saints, Steelers

11. Will Campbell, OL, LSU

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Campbell was a three-year starter at left tackle at LSU and likely remains there in the NFL. He wins with the athleticism necessary to mirror athletic pass rushers on the edge. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Campbell lacks ideal length, and some teams may view him as a guard due to his sub-33-inch arms. If he’s a guard, however, he might lack the ideal power to excel in the run game on the interior. 

Good team fits: Patriots, Bears, Dolphins, Colts, 49ers, Giants

12. Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Conerly was a two-year starter at left tackle for Oregon and has the length and enough athleticism to stay in that role in the pros. His high-level performance as a 20-year-old in 2024 is an indication of a high ceiling. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Due to a lack of power, Conerly is better in pass protection than in the run game. Given his age, this is understandable and should improve in the NFL. 

Good team fits: Rams, Chiefs, Texans, Colts, Packers, Eagles, Giants

13. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Loveland is a weapon in the pass game and has the speed to stretch the field down the seam. He also has the size to be a red zone weapon and a more traditional possession receiver at tight end. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Can he block? Loveland was often a liability as a blocker at Michigan, and he will get bullied by NFL edge defenders. So, how quickly can he add the strength needed to stay on the field and be a three-down tight end?

Good team fits: Rams, Colts, Panthers, Bears, Seahawks, Chargers

14. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Burden should be an immediate starter in the slot. With his reliable hand and solid production after the catch, he has a high floor in that role. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Does he have the ability to play on the outside? Although he’s certainly not slow, he might lack the blazing speed needed to excel as an undersized outside receiver. Inconsistent production also raises some doubts. He posted big numbers against bad teams but was mostly contained in many of Missouri’s biggest games. 

Good team fits: Texans, Cardinals, Bills, Patriots, Titans, Panthers, Cowboys

15. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Henderson wins with his vision and speed. He’s a patient runner who can find the hole and then has home-run speed to take advantage of miscues by the defense. He’ll also be an asset on passing downs. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Does he have the power to remain effective running between the tackles in the NFL? Henderson struggles to fight through early contact in the backfield at times, which means he might not be the ideal early-down back. 

Good team fits: Cowboys, Vikings, Commanders, Titans, Steelers, Broncos, Raiders

16. Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Ward’s physical traits (arm strength, accuracy, mobility) check all the boxes necessary to play quarterback in the league. He’s at his best when working off-script to create big plays out of nothing. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Can he dial back the reckless decision making? Ward made a name for himself with some fourth-quarter comebacks last year 一 unfortunately, his careless interceptions were often the reason the comeback was necessary. 

Good team fits: Giants, Titans, Browns, Saints

17. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Higgins has the size and hands to be a quality possession receiver on the outside or in the slot. He’s also surprisingly effective after the catch for a receiver of his size. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Iowa State runs a conservative offense that limited Higgins to the possession receiver role. He appears to have the traits to develop a more well-rounded game and stretch the field, but it’s an unknown due to his lack of experience in that role.  

Good team fits: Packers, Browns, Panthers, Seahawks, Falcons, Chargers, Rams, Raiders, Giants

18. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Hampton is a physical between-the-tackles runner who is the ideal early-down back. He also has enough speed to be a big-play threat once he hits the open field, and he’s a capable contributor on passing downs.  

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Does he have the vision to fully capitalize on his elite tools? It’s hard to imagine Hampton failing behind a strong offensive line, but when the designed hole doesn’t immediately open up, Hampton struggles to create for himself. That could lead to underwhelming production if he’s stuck in a struggling offense. 

Good team fits: Broncos, Steelers, Browns, Bears, Texans, Vikings, Patriots

19. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Harris is an outside receiver who can win downfield with his size in contested situations, but he is also athletic enough to pose a serious threat after the catch on short and intermediate routes. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Although he flashed elite production early in the 2024 season, an injury robbed Harris of the opportunity to prove he could sustain that against tougher competition. A lack of focus seems to be the cause of far too many drops for a receiver with his catch radius and hand size. 

Good team fits: Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, Jets, Cowboys, Seahawks, Packers, Chiefs

20. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Golden is an outside receiver who can stretch the field with his speed. He has the type of speed that changes the way defenses line up to provide help on his side of the field. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Inconsistent hands limited his ability to develop into the go-to receiver in college. He’ll also need to convince teams he will bring the consistent effort needed to excel 一 although he was great in the playoffs for Texas, there were plenty of games against lesser competition where he struggled to get involved. 

Good team fits: Cowboys, Broncos, Bills, Texans, Seahawks, Dolphins, Bears

21. Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Booker is a physical run blocker with impressive size and length for an interior lineman. He’s the ideal fit at guard for a power run offense. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

A lack of athleticism limits what you can ask him to do, and he’s probably a better fit for a team leaning heavily on zone-blocking schemes. Booker also needs to clean up the penalties, as he gets grabby when panicked. 

Good team fits: Lions, Texans, 49ers, Vikings, Giants, Seahawks

22. Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

Where he’ll make an impact in the NFL

Ersery wins with his size and strength, forcing smaller edge rushers to take a wide path around him. 

What are his weaknesses? What concerns do teams have?

Although he dominated lesser competition, Ersery was vulnerable against his toughest opponents and probably lacks the athletic traits to have a high ceiling. Some teams will also view him as too tall to play guard, and the lack of versatility might limit his value. 

Good team fits: Ravens, Bills, Texans, Dolphins, Eagles, Jets, Rams, Lions
