Top 250 Big Board
Well, we are finally here! Draft Day 2025. It’s been a journey to say the least! This draft cycle has been unlike most. There was no clear cut top pick for the NFL Draft, but we had one pretty much picked out since early March (Cam Ward). The amount of “blue chip” prospects we can probably count on one hand. We have a player who plays both sides of the ball. We have defensive tackles who play running back. We have offensive lineman who are running 4.6 forty times. This is truly a wild card of draft class.

This is truly a wild card of draft class.
So it makes complete sense that as we are mere hours away from the first selection, we have multiple teams in the Top 10 who we have absolutely no idea where they are going to go. Whether its Jacksonville, Carolina, the Jets, or the New Orleans Saints, any one of these teams can shake up how the board will fall. We genuinely enjoyed doing the analysis this year. There is a lot of depth in this class, and some real floor raisers. While the flashiness might not be there, there are a lot of unsung heroes.
For the official 250, there was some movement from the original list we have posted the past couple of weeks, but not much. This is a list of how we view the players from Player 1 – 250. Our “Big Board”. Not to toot our own horn, but we’ve had some winners in the past. So when you see Derrick Harmon in the forties, don’t be alarmed. Everything we did here is intentional. See you on the other side for our immediate grades…

NFL Draft Day 2 Prospects
Another week, another list. This time it’s the Day 2 Prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft – which is going be where the meat of this draft takes place. Last week we discussed how the Day 1 talent was light. That is the complete opposite for Day 2. There are so. many. players that can be useful to NFL teams in Rounds 2-3. There are a ton of starters – on both offensive and defensive lines, the skill positions and the secondary. I think you will see a ton of running backs go in this group, as well as corners and defensive tackles.

There are a ton of starters – on both offensive and defensive lines, the skill positions and the secondary. I think you will see a ton of running backs go in this group, as well as corners and defensive tackles.
While there may not be a ton of “superstars” in this class, the word contributor comes to mind. Players that will not only be staples of teams, but part of the culture of a locker room, and invaluable to teams for a lot of years. Think of guys like Doug Baldwin. Players who aren’t going to make a ton of pro-bowls or all-pro teams, but guys who you know you will miss if they are gone. And there aren’t enough of those players in the league. When we look back on this draft in a few years, we will look at the teams who had picks in these rounds that we view as “successful” because they raised the culture of their football team.
Instead of “Best Fit” here, we will just say where we think the players will go in the draft. Could be “early”, “mid” or “late” round. Let’s get to it.

NFL Draft Day 1 Prospects
I know. It’s been a hot minute. Unfortunately, life does happen. Trust me – it wasn’t somewhere I wanted to be. But now I am back. And we are in the full swing of draft season. As of this writing, the PSP guys have discussed the QB position and the RB position; with Wide Receivers on deck for recording today. This draft class is more interesting than most. Not because of the names. Not because of the storylines. There is not a lot of top end talent. I don’t know how many hall of famers will come from this class – that’s impossible to tell. But some years there are some sure fire selections in Round 1. And then there is a drop off. Not this year though. This year I think there are…wait for it…THREE sure fire guys. That’s it.
I know. It’s been a hot minute. Unfortunately, life does happen. Trust me – it wasn’t somewhere I wanted to be. But now I am back. And we are in the full swing of draft season. As of this writing, the PSP guys have discussed the QB position and the RB position; with Wide Receivers on deck for recording today. This draft class is more interesting than most. Not because of the names. Not because of the storylines. There is not a lot of top end talent. I don’t know how many hall of famers will come from this class – that’s impossible to tell. But some years there are some sure fire selections in Round 1. And then there is a drop off. Not this year though. This year I think there are…wait for it…THREE sure fire guys. That’s it.
Now that doesn’t mean that this draft class sucks. It doesn’t. None of them ever do. But what this draft doesn’t have in top talent, it has by the loads in depth. For context, the Defensive Tackle position is loaded in terms of guys who will contribute in the NFL. Many years, that position is always considered “light”. But this year you can probably grab a serviceable starter on Day 3. The Running Back position is another one. There’s a scenario where we can get 7-8 starters from this group. I will be keeping my eye on where some of these running backs end up, because the destination will determine the type of success they have (e.g. Zach Charbonnet in Seattle). Tight End is another deep class. They come in all shapes and sizes this year. You have the Tyler Warren/Gunner Helm build, or you can go for the Colston Loveland/Orondo Gadsden build. Or you can try and take the hybrid Harold Fannin/Elijah Arroyo build. No disrespect to Mason Taylor or Luke Lachey, those guys just came to my head first. Depth. That is the sweet spot in this class.
Teams looking to completely transform their team in this year’s draft will come up with coal, but this draft will raise the floor (yes, I used a James Gladstone reference) of these teams. I, personally, have “scouted” 255 players across the board. The most I’ve ever done. It was actually a grueling process, and I can tell you positively I didn’t do the scouting that the Mel Kiper’s and Todd McShay’s of the world do. I have a day job. But usually here at PSP we would put players into “round” grades. 1,2,3, etc. We are switching it up this year. This year, we are doing it by “days”. As in, this player is a “Day 1” player and this player is a “Day 2” player. From this Wednesday until the following Wednesday, a new Day will drop. And then the following day, you will get a Mock Draft corresponding with the previous day’s release. Meaning tomorrow we will drop a Round 1 mock. And next week we will drop our Day 2 rankings and then a Rounds 1-3 mock.
As I mentioned at the top, there isn’t a ton of top end talent this year. So when you see there are only 26 Day 1 prospects for me, don’t be shocked. They will compensate in the later groups. There won’t be any blurb on the player or sort (again, day job). But I will give you a “best fit” for what I think of the player and the system they would thrive in. Again, my personal opinion. Not fact. I went back and forth with number one. But spots 1-3 are very, very, very close. Spots 4 and 5 are a smidge behind – and then from 6 on I think there is a drop off. Not large enough to really say they shouldn’t be drafted in Round 1, but I think some of them would be pushed out of Day 1 in another year’s draft. So here we go – Day 1 Prospects, 2025. Have at it folks.
