WR Elic Ayomanor, Stanford

PFF Big Board Rank: 35

Ayomanor’s size, intelligence at receiver, play strength and experience against press coverage make him an ideal “X” prototype with the talent to become an NFL starter.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

PFF Big Board Rank: 45

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.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Bradyn Swinson, LSU

PFF Big Board Rank: 47

Swinson didn’t become a full-time starter until his final season, but in his current form, he shows very active hands and a good understanding of rushing the passer to yield consistently high pass-rush win rates. If he continues to get stronger defending the run, he can become a starting 3-4 edge player with impact pass-rush potential.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Cameron Skattebo, Arizona State

PFF Big Board Rank: 51

Skattebo plays the game in a manner that is easy to love: with a massive chip on his shoulder. NFL teams will gravitate toward his mentality, balance, tackle-breaking ability and after-contact consistency. He has the physical makeup of a three-down back.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Dylan Sampson, Tennessee

PFF Big Board Rank: 55

Sampson is a speedster who pairs explosiveness with patience and vision. He has big-play potential behind any blocking scheme and could develop into a plus receiver, though he must cut down on fumbles.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Jalen Royals, Utah State

PFF Big Board Rank: 60

Royals may lack difference-making NFL athleticism, but he is a strong possession receiver who can line up anywhere with plus after-the-catch ability.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Jared Ivey, Mississippi

PFF Big Board Rank: 61

Ivey is a physically gifted player with devastating power in his hands to hold the point of attack and stack and shed consistently. He lacks the speed and lower body flexibility to be a speed threat as a 4-3 defensive end, so his best fit is likely more inside for a 3-4 front that would maximize his special strength every play.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI CJ West, Indiana

PFF Big Board Rank: 72

West is on the shorter side (length) but has good size (mass) and burst as a nose tackle who can have strong reps in run defense and some surprisingly impactful reps as a pass-rusher. If he can keep his pad level down, he can be a contributing rotational player in the NFL, preferably in a 4-3 front.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Xavier Restrepo, Miami (FL)

PFF Big Board Rank: 77

Restrepo brings a strong slot receiver skill set to the NFL, where his production, separation scores and great hands give him a high floor with WR2/WR3 potential despite some high-end athleticism and size limitations.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Damien Martinez, Miami (FL)

PFF Big Board Rank: 80

Martinez is an early-down NFL back with good size and a play style to match, carrying high forced missed tackle averages. He will likely be the physical component of a committee unless he can significantly improve his pass-blocking fundamentals.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Kyle Kennard, South Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 81

Kennard shows a good understanding of how to win as a pass-rusher in varying situations in both odd and even fronts. He is lean and long, which is a plus for arm length but a negative when holding up versus the run. His handwork and footwork show a great baseline to build a successful pass-rush profile in the league as a Day 2 selection.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Chris Paul Jr., Mississippi

PFF Big Board Rank: 83

Paul needs to add some mass to his frame, but he can eventually become a starting Will linebacker in the league, thanks to his athleticism and intelligence.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Marcus Mbow, Purdue

PFF Big Board Rank: 84

Mbow is small and struggles with NFL-level strength in pass protection and when displacing in the run game. But he moves extremely well and should get a shot to start at guard or tackle at some point during his rookie contract.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Elijah Roberts, SMU

PFF Big Board Rank: 87

Roberts is a strong, well-built defensive lineman with a lot of experience at different alignments. He likely lacks the length, twitch and bend to be a full-time edge player, but his size and versatility could play well as a 3-4 defensive end who can move along gaps.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 89

Toughness and tenacity are Ransom’s calling cards, which he makes good use of in all facets of the game. While he may lack the tools some other prospects have, he has the instincts and awareness to make up for it.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Jack Sawyer, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 92

Sawyer is a high-floor, all-around 4-3 defensive end with a starting-caliber projection. The question is whether you believe there is more there for him as a pass-rusher. If you do, you can convince yourself that he’s a top-20 player. If not, an early Day 2 range feels like his floor.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Cameron Williams, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 93

Williams is a true “bet” of a prospect. His penalty-riddled lone year as a starter shows inexperience and inconsistency. But it also showed starting-caliber length and traits. He’s not the kind of player you plug and play, but he could be a gem to develop on Day 2.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Jordan Phillips, Maryland

PFF Big Board Rank: 94

Phillips is a compact, powerful defensive lineman with less-than-ideal length but enough strength to make up for it. While he’s unlikely to be a regular pass-rush contributor, he can serve as a rock-solid interior presence with enough power to contribute to any defensive front.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB DJ Giddens, Kansas State

PFF Big Board Rank: 96

Giddens brings good eyes, patience and anticipation to a backfield, finding open space between the tackles with good one-cut ability and long strides for long speed. He needs to play with more violence to gain yards after contact if he is to truly make a name for himself in a running back rotation.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Dorian Strong, Virginia Tech

PFF Big Board Rank: 103

Strong, ironically, lacks some strength in press-man coverage and run-defense situations near the line of scrimmage, but he is a smart, competitive zone-scheme cornerback with a natural ability to get his hands on passes and cause constant disruption at the catch point.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Devin Neal, Kansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 106

Neal’s multi-sport background and natural playmaking mentality make him an alluring prospect for any NFL team. He is limited in long speed, but his fancy footwork and vision shine behind man- and gap-blocking concepts. He can also be a good third-down back, bringing receiving and pass-blocking reliability.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S R.J. Mickens, Clemson

PFF Big Board Rank: 108

Mickens, the son of former New York Jet Ray Mickens, played a variety of secondary roles during his time at Clemson. This year, he was the veteran glue that held together a young group around him. In the process, he used his savvy and instincts to post an 89.8 coverage grade, tied for second-best among Power Four safeties. Mickens’ smarts and pedigree should give him a chance to find a role on an NFL roster.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Barryn Sorrell, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 109

Sorrell is a versatile defensive lineman capable of aligning anywhere from a 4i to a wide-7 technique. While he doesn’t project as a high-end athlete at the next level, his active hands and solid play strength provide a strong foundation for a rotational role in a multi-front NFL defense.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma

PFF Big Board Rank: 110

If you want a thumping downhill linebacker, Stutsman is your guy. He’s too often a liability in coverage, though, which could limit him to early downs at the next level.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Tory Horton, Colorado State

PFF Big Board Rank: 112

There is a lot to like about Horton’s game, including his nuance, pride in the little things, competitiveness and sure hands, if you can look past his athletic drawbacks (limited long speed and agility). He projects as a mid-round possession receiver with the chance of being a coaching favorite who sticks around for a long time.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
TE Gunnar Helm, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 115

Helm has worked his way into becoming one of the class’ best after-the-catch tight ends. He isn’t the strongest run blocker, but he does have good feet in pass protection. Getting stronger would give him more opportunities as a TE2 with starting potential.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Tyler Batty, BYU

PFF Big Board Rank: 116

Batty offers legit size and above-average explosiveness, making him a scheme-versatile defensive end capable of playing in both odd and even fronts. He’s a high-floor, mid-round prospect with a real chance to carve out a starting role thanks to his motor and adaptability.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma

PFF Big Board Rank: 117

Whoever drafts Bowman will have to live with his tackling woes. If you can get over that, you’ll get a versatile coverage defender who is a big-play machine.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Cobee Bryant, Kansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 118

Cobee Bryant, like his namesake, has a top-tier mentality to win at the position. His length helps him overcome a very slender build, but his lower mass and average movement skills likely limit him to off-zone coverage schemes. It’s hard to not want this kind of competitor on your team, even in a depth role.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
TE Benjamin Yurosek, Georgia

PFF Big Board Rank: 119

Yurosek didn’t see heavy usage in 2024, but he brings adequate all-around NFL ability for the position (best as a move tight end), especially if he can put on 5-10 pounds. He can be a versatile TE2 in basically any offense as a mid-round pick.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Ty Robinson, Nebraska

PFF Big Board Rank: 120

Robinson enjoyed the best season of his career in his sixth year, tallying a 79.5 pass-rush grade. He’s an elite athlete for the position who plays with a bully’s mentality. Robinson has below-average length and needs to play with better leverage, but he has the traits and motor to bet on as a projected backup with the upside of one day becoming a starter.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED David Walker, Central Arkansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 121

Walker is a highly productive and decorated FCS player. His size limitations will make him a Day 3 pick at best, but he mitigates it as best he can and is a high-effort player who lives in backfields. Some team will likely take a flier on him late as a stand-up pass-rush specialist.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
QB Will Howard, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 122

Howard checks a lot of boxes: experience, size and a willingness to attack all coverages. He doesn’t bring special arm talent, but he could develop into an NFL starter.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Jeffrey Bassa, Oregon

PFF Big Board Rank: 123

Bassa is an intriguing former safety who now has a home at the linebacker level. Despite his lower weight for the position, he is not shy about making contact or doing dirty work. He is a smooth mover but does lack some twitch, which can be mitigated with continued improvement in anticipation. A vocal leader at Oregon, he could be a nice coverage linebacker in any scheme.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI JJ Pegues, Mississippi

PFF Big Board Rank: 124

Pegues is a versatile player for a number of reasons and could be a fan-favorite for his relentless play on defense and ability to play some goal-line packages offensively.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Sebastian Castro, Iowa

PFF Big Board Rank: 125

Castro is a savvy, smart slot defender whose lack of athleticism limits his projection at the next level. He shows some impressive tape in short areas and near the line of scrimmage, but asking him to play man coverage or operate with range is a gamble. At this point, he profiles more as a safety than a true corner.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Mello Dotson, Kansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 126

Dotson is a steady, experienced cornerback with an adequate build for the position. His lack of true stickiness in coverage may limit him to more of a rotational or spot-starting role, but he has a place in the league, especially for teams that play more press and man coverage.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
QB Riley Leonard, Notre Dame

PFF Big Board Rank: 127

Leonard is a tough, dual-threat quarterback with plus value as a runner, but his passing efficiency numbers reveal too many inconsistencies on a throw-by-throw basis for him to be an NFL starter. That will have to improve if he is to be more than a backup.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
G Miles Frazier, LSU

PFF Big Board Rank: 128

Frazier’s athletic ability and versatility give him a solid chance to be a swingman in the NFL (88.0 blocking grade in 2024). His lack of length makes him a better fit at guard, but he’ll need to get stronger to have a chance at a starting role.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Ahmed Hassanein, Boise State

PFF Big Board Rank: 129

Hassanein’s effort and physicality at the point of attack will lead to him being a favorite of NFL coaches, even though he lacks elite athletic traits. He looks to be an ideal rotational edge who will be effective at holding his own at the line of scrimmage against the run while he works to add to his pass-rush toolbox. He should be considered an early Day 3 prospect.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Cam’Ron Jackson, Florida

PFF Big Board Rank: 130

Jackson’s massive 6-foot-6 and 328-pound frame is designed to clog the A-gaps and free up linebackers to make tackles. He’s earned at least a 76.0 run-defense grade across the past three seasons. Teams in search of a late-round run stopper should be interested in Jackson, even if he is likely to be just an early-down player.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Jarquez Hunter, Auburn

PFF Big Board Rank: 132

Hunter is small, but he doesn’t let that hinder his physicality. He is a high-intelligence player with good eyes and anticipation in all phases of the game. His ceiling is limited due to a lack of size and length, but he’s a player every NFL coach would love to have on their roster or practice squad.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Jaylen Reed, Penn State

PFF Big Board Rank: 134

Reed is a stout box safety who fits well as a depth option in aggressive schemes that keep one safety near the line of scrimmage. His coverage skills remain a work in progress, but when kept downhill, he shows the physicality to be a reliable run defender.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Joshua Farmer, Florida State

PFF Big Board Rank: 135

Farmer is still a budding defensive lineman, even as an upperclassman. With some improved anticipation and technique, he can be a starting-caliber pass-rusher — although he must have a higher floor as a run defender to get on the field consistently.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Jaydon Blue, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 137

Blue is one of the best athletes in the 2024 running back class, with top-tier long speed and short-area explosiveness. If he can add strength and improve his ball security, he has the potential to be a home-run threat in a two-back committee.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Tez Johnson, Oregon

PFF Big Board Rank: 138

Johnson won’t be on every team’s radar due to his outlier measurables, but he wins in just about every way he can, despite physical limitations. He brings an added level of competitiveness that coaches will want to have around.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Brashard Smith, SMU

PFF Big Board Rank: 139

Smith could be a highly productive receiving back in an offense that emphasizes his skill set and ability to align anywhere on the field. While he likely doesn’t have the frame to handle 20-plus touches per game, he could be a valuable weapon for 10-15, especially with his ability to create mismatches against inside defenders in the passing game.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Aeneas Peebles, Virginia Tech

PFF Big Board Rank: 141

Peebles’ measurables won’t do him any favors on draft night, but his tape shows a quick, instinctive 3-technique defensive tackle whose finesse game can be impactful in a rotational role.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Quandarrius Robinson, Alabama

PFF Big Board Rank: 142

Robinson is a twitchy and traits-y edge prospect to bet on who lacks experience. His burst and length are NFL-caliber, but he must diversify his pass-rush wins in order to be seen as a consistent starter or rotational pass-rusher, likely for 3-4 schemes that let him rush from a stand-up alignment.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Jalen Rivers, Miami (FL)

PFF Big Board Rank: 143

Rivers is a sound technician wherever he plays, but his lack of athleticism and corresponding lack of answers for quicker rushers limits his ceiling. He is likely fit to serve as interior depth in an offense with a gap-based run scheme.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Trevor Etienne, Georgia

PFF Big Board Rank: 144

Etienne won’t be an every-down back like his older brother, but he has elite burst and quickness for the position. He could thrive as a complementary option in a zone scheme and showed at the Senior Bowl that he may have more receiving upside in the NFL than he did in college.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Isaiah Bond, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 145

Bond’s world-class speed will be coveted, likely in the top 50. But he needs to continue to grow as a receiver — not just a fast player — to remain on the field for more than vertical play calls.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Kaimon Rucker, North Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 146

Rucker is a smart, sound outside linebacker-type of edge rusher who uses quick hands and natural leverage with purpose and effectiveness. Though he appears to have longer arms than his height would indicate, his naturally smaller frame, paired with athleticism that isn’t top-tier, limits his ceiling. He is a dependable player who would do well to round out a depth chart as a pass-rush specialist in a 3-4 alignment.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
C Seth McLaughlin, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 147

McLaughlin’s experience and toughness could be an asset to an offensive line room, but his status in 2025 will be in question due to his injury.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Barrett Carter, Clemson

PFF Big Board Rank: 148

While he needs to get stronger, Carter is an athletic, versatile defender who can be a valuable chess piece for a defense as a weakside linebacker.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
G Willie Lampkin, North Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 149

Lampkin’s size is certainly concerning and could relegate him back to center, where he played just one game over the past two seasons. His technique and determination should give him a chance to prove his worth in the NFL with five years of outstanding college tape under his belt.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Logan Brown, Kansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 150

Brown looks and grades like the kind of offensive tackle worth taking a chance on. He has an ideal athletic build for the position with great height, weight and length, and flashes power on contact and fluid movement skills. However, his fundamentals remain a work in progress — he plays too high, lunges into blocks and can misread run fits. Still, those issues appear coachable, making him a developmental tackle with upside.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Jordan Hancock, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 151

Hancock is at his best near the line of scrimmage as a nickel defender. He was a two-year starter for the Buckeyes and earned an 82.2 coverage grade across those couple seasons. Hancock is a smart player in zone coverage but isn’t athletic enough to stick with receivers in man coverage.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Jack Kiser, Notre Dame

PFF Big Board Rank: 152

Kiser is an experienced linebacker with adequate athleticism who projects as a solid depth option at either WILL or MIKE. His instincts and versatility also make him a strong candidate to contribute on special teams early in his NFL career.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
LB Smael Mondon Jr., Georgia

PFF Big Board Rank: 155

If Mondon’s mental speed can catch up to his physical speed, he can be a starting-caliber linebacker. Until that happens, he projects as an impact special teamer who can play in a rotation.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Robert Longerbeam, Rutgers

PFF Big Board Rank: 156

Longerbeam played outside corner throughout his five-year career at Rutgers, but it was his work in the slot during Shrine Bowl practices that truly stood out. His start-stop quickness and explosiveness allow him to break on routes effectively in off coverage. To stick as a slot defender in the NFL, though, he’ll need to improve his strength and reliability as a tackler.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Antwaun Powell-Ryland, Virginia Tech

PFF Big Board Rank: 157

Powell-Ryland may be a little scheme-specific due to his measurables, but he has the pass-rush speed and acumen to be a rotational outside linebacker with the potential for impact plays.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Georgia

PFF Big Board Rank: 159

Ingram-Dawkins didn’t produce much over his four-year college career, but the physical tools are evident. His blend of size, explosiveness, and strength — paired with above-average length — gives him the traits of a rotational 3-4 defensive end who can shoot gaps and disrupt plays.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Zy Alexander, LSU

PFF Big Board Rank: 160

Alexander is a fundamentally sound cover cornerback whose limited athleticism will likely make him either a zone-specific cornerback or a potential safety convert due to how reliable he is when tackling and in run defense.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Ty Hamilton, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 161

Hamilton is undersized by NFL defensive tackle standards, but that helps him stay flexible and quick for an interior lineman. While he’s not going to overwhelm blockers at the point of attack, he generally holds his own. His biggest hurdle is translating his initial quickness into consistent pass-rush production.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Chase Lundt, Connecticut

PFF Big Board Rank: 162

Lundt has intriguing length and movement skills to be a Day 3 flier. He must get stronger to be more consistent against NFL-caliber power and speed.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Florida

PFF Big Board Rank: 163

Crenshaw-Dickson is a long, experienced and patient player who played right and left tackle in college. He’ll struggle against top-tier speed or power, but his calm approach to the game, length and balance give him a high floor to handle plenty of assignments as a backup NFL tackle, with a likely shot at a starting job in his rookie contract.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
QB Quinn Ewers, Texas

PFF Big Board Rank: 165

Ewers’ arm talent will get him drafted, but his inconsistencies are too prevalent right now. To succeed in the NFL, he must clean up his footwork, pocket management, post-snap diagnosis and play under pressure.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame

PFF Big Board Rank: 166

Evans doesn’t have the rare movement skills to set him apart as a potential top-60 pick in the NFL, but his floor is balanced and high as a TE3 with the potential to move into a contributing TE2 role due to reliable blocking and hands through contact.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
S Craig Woodson, California

PFF Big Board Rank: 167

Woodson’s speed and aggression are his calling cards, as he chases ball carriers down near the line of scrimmage. He set career highs with an 88.6 coverage grade and six pass breakups in 2024. He’s tough to trust in man-to-man situations but could carve out a depth/special teams role if he can play with a bit more discipline.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Bilhal Kone, Western Michigan

PFF Big Board Rank: 168

Kone is a long cornerback with good anticipation, but his inconsistent footwork limits his ability to make plays on the ball. He has rotational potential if he can refine his backpedal technique.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Konata Mumpfield, Pittsburgh

PFF Big Board Rank: 169

Mumpfield has the jumping ability to go up and get the ball. He played 899 career snaps split out wide and 744 career snaps in the slot, so he offers his next team some versatility.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
HB Kalel Mullings, Michigan

PFF Big Board Rank: 170

Mullings’ game lacks some nuance and patience due to his limited stint as a full-time running back. But his linebacker background, special teams experience, size and mentality for yards after contact should lead to an NFL team taking a chance on him as he develops the rest of his skill set.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
G Luke Kandra, Cincinnati

PFF Big Board Rank: 171

Kandra’s athleticism and measured approach to the game give him the floor of a solid zone scheme backup and an average starter’s ceiling. The end result will depend on his ability to play with better pad level and flexibility.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
ED Tyler Baron, Miami (FL)

PFF Big Board Rank: 172

Baron offers a well-rounded skill set, but he’s missing the power element that could elevate his game. His speed-to-power attempts often fizzle out, even against tight ends, and a sharp rise in missed tackles in 2024 highlights concerns about his finishing ability. There’s a clear lack of pop and physicality at the point of contact that may cap his ceiling.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Jaylin Lane, Virginia Tech

PFF Big Board Rank: 173

Lane’s speed and agility from the slot could be a weapon in an offense that maximizes yards after catch (8.3 yards after the catch in 2024; 91st percentile) and gets him some designed looks. His experience as a returner should aid him in his quest to stick on a roster.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Dont’e Thornton Jr., Tennessee

PFF Big Board Rank: 174

Thornton’s freakish physical tools (4.3-second 40-yard dash) will get him drafted, but unless he improves his route running, he will top out as a vertically oriented WR3 or WR4 (3.72 yards per route run in 2024; 97th percentile).

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Ajani Cornelius, Oregon

PFF Big Board Rank: 175

Cornelius is a big-bodied, powerful blocker with some foot quickness and overall speed limitations in pass protection, but he is a decent developmental player for man/gap scheme run-blocking concepts.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Alijah Huzzie, North Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 176

Huzzie doesn’t have the long speed to hold up as a wide corner in the NFL — where he spent most of his time in 2024 — but his instincts and short-area quickness stand out. He looked more comfortable in 2023 playing inside, and he could develop into a rotational or spot starter at slot corner for a zone-heavy defense.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
DI Tim Smith, Alabama

PFF Big Board Rank: 177

Smith is a well-built defensive lineman for the NFL but likely lacks the explosiveness to be more than a depth player with experience in many roles on the line.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Quincy Riley, Louisville

PFF Big Board Rank: 178

Riley brings an elite track background and twitched-up movements to the position, but his lack of size and major strength concerns make him a tough projection for anything more than a rotational cornerback with special teams in his future.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
WR Andrew Armstrong, Arkansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 179

Armstrong brings impressive size and reliable hands to the table, showcasing his skills with an elite 89.4 receiving grade in SEC play. While he’s not the most dynamic separator or after-the-catch threat, his production and physical profile make him a solid Day 3 draft candidate.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
T Jalen Travis, Iowa State

PFF Big Board Rank: 180

Travis is a big, long, and explosive offensive tackle whose traits profile best in a zone-blocking scheme. While he has the size, his kick-slide quickness and length aren’t quite at NFL starter levels yet, making edge protection a concern. Still, after allowing just a 2.5% pressure rate in 2024, he’s an appealing Day 3 draft-and-develop candidate with upside.

QB Kyle McCord, Syracuse

PFF Big Board Rank: 181

McCord isn’t for the faint of heart. He led the Power Four in both big-time throws and turnover-worthy plays in 2024. He lacks a top-level arm, leaving doubt about his gunslinger mentality in the NFL, but his ability to churn out big plays every week makes him hard to quit on. Plenty of NFL teams should want to take a chance on him early on Day 3.

DI Jared Harrison-Hunte, SMU

PFF Big Board Rank: 183

Harrison-Hunte is an intriguing prospect to develop, considering he has the frame to fill out and flashes very good athleticism (4.86-second 40-yard dash, 1.69-second 10-yard split). He needs to improve his pad level, but he uses his athleticism effectively to defeat blocks at the line of scrimmage, posting 44 pressures with eight sacks in 2024.

TE Thomas Fidone II, Nebraska

PFF Big Board Rank: 184

An extensive knee injury in 2021 and 2022 didn’t completely rob Fidone of his impressive straight-line athleticism. With his above-average height, length and speed, he’s a strong candidate to develop as a rotational TE2 in a vertical passing offense.

DI Marcus Harris, Patriots

PFF Big Board Rank: 185

Harris brings solid stop-and-start agility and an aggressive mentality in coverage, making him a potential depth piece in a man-heavy scheme. However, his limited explosiveness and top-end speed likely cap his ceiling as a starter.

S Malachi Moore, Alabama

PFF Big Board Rank: 186

Moore is a versatile, high-IQ defensive back with experience both in the slot and at free safety. Though he lacks ideal length and top-end athleticism, his strong career production — including a 91.8 coverage grade and 81.0 run-defense grade — points to a reliable depth option in an NFL secondary.

DI Tonka Hemingway, South Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 187

Hemingway’s measurements place him in the “tweener” category between interior defensive line and edge. His athleticism suggests a better fit on the edge at the next level, where his explosiveness can stand out and his limited anchor strength won’t be as easily exposed.

DI Deone Walker, Kentucky

PFF Big Board Rank: 188

Walker’s measurables will jump out immediately, but his play on the field doesn’t match the dominance suggested on paper. He is a versatile defensive lineman due to his height and length, but he needs more precision in his pass rushes and must hold his ground more consistently to be more than a rotational player.

LB Kobe King, Penn State

PFF Big Board Rank: 189

King looks and plays like a true middle linebacker, with a strong frame and reliable tackling. He lacks starting-level athleticism, and if he’s even a tick late to process, he’s likely losing that rep. Still, he could be a solid depth piece who isn’t shy about meeting the position’s physical demands.

LB Shemar James, Florida

PFF Big Board Rank: 190

James boasts athleticism and physicality at the linebacker position, but those movement skills haven’t translated to production. He is slow to read and diagnose plays, leaving him behind in coverage and when fitting the run. However, his traits show up as an effective blitzer, which could lead to a 3-4 outside linebacker transition.

TE Jake Briningstool, Clemson

PFF Big Board Rank: 191

Briningstool seems to be more of a wide receiver than a tight end. If he can improve his route-running nuance and playmaker mentality after the catch, he could become a big slot WR3 type. Until then, he is more of a developmental depth player.

WR Samuel Brown, Miami (FL)

PFF Big Board Rank: 192

The Houston transfer didn’t make the same splash as fellow former Cougar Matthew Golden, but Brown still offers intriguing NFL traits. With a solid size/speed profile and above-average separation skills, he has developmental potential — though he’ll need to improve his release package and physicality at the catch point to earn a roster spot.

TE Jackson Hawes, Georgia Tech

PFF Big Board Rank: 193

Hawes doesn’t provide much in the receiving game, but he is a good TE3 for an NFL team to use in heavier offensive packages.

T Bryce Cabeldue, Kansas

PFF Big Board Rank: 194

Cabeldue is capable of overwhelming defenders in the run game with his size, but his poor lower-body agility makes him a liability in pass protection. His 65.0 PFF pass-blocking grade on true pass sets indicates he may need to slide inside to guard if he is to carve out a spot on an NFL roster.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB O’Donnell Fortune, South Carolina

PFF Big Board Rank: 195

Fortune has intriguing length but lacks the top-tier explosiveness for press-man responsibilities. He possesses good lateral movements and aggressive hands for a rotational and spot-starter projection as a Cover-3 cornerback.

ED R.J. Oben, Notre Dame

PFF Big Board Rank: 196

Oben won’t blow you away with athleticism as a pass rusher, but he’s a solid, disciplined run defender with long arms and flashes of quick, efficient hand usage that allow him to win cleanly at times. As a six-year player, he’ll be one of the older prospects in this year’s class.

G Connor Colby, Iowa

PFF Big Board Rank: 198

Colby projects as potentially valuable depth in a Shanahan-style outside zone scheme. His lack of a plan and tendency to lunge in pass protection is currently a major barrier to him earning a starting role.

Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
CB Korie Black, Oklahoma State

PFF Big Board Rank: 199

Black has the size, foot quickness and explosiveness to compete for a starting role, but he plays too often in recovery mode rather than with anticipation. If he can process more proactively, he has the tools to contribute on defense and should at least stick as a special teams gunner.
