11/1 Top-50 Big Board

1. Caleb Downs — S, Ohio State, Junior, 6’0, 205
   • Downs is 100% the best player in the class and may be one of the best safety prospects we have ever seen. He should be the consensus top player on every big board and belongs in the top ten of any mock draft.
2. Rueben Bain — EDGE, Miami, Junior, 6’3, 275
   • Bain started the year as my number one EDGE, and with how he has played this season, he will likely finish the season there. He has dominated the competition and has made several top tackles look foolish off the edge with his incredible power and athletic ability.
3. Jeremiyah Love — HB, Notre Dame, Junior, 6’0, 210
   • Love has backed up his performance from 2024 this season and is clearly the top back in the class. Love likely would have been drafted above Ashton Jeanty last season, for perspective on how good he is as an NFL prospect.
4. Jordyn Tyson — WR, Arizona State, Junior, 6’2, 200
   • While there have been a lot of changes to the receivers below him, Tyson remains at number one for good reason. He has elite route-running skills, high-quality hands, and a tremendous route tree to get open with consistency.
5. Francis Mauigoa — OT, Miami, Junior, 6’6, 315
   • The clear top tackle in this year’s draft, Mauigoa, has been a rock on the right side of an elite Miami offensive line. He likely can play left tackle in the NFL, but he best fits on the right side, where he is more comfortable and has been dominant.
6. Keldric Faulk — EDGE, Auburn, Junior, 6’6, 275
   • One of the most athletic players in the class, Faulk comes in just shy of 280 pounds but moves like he is 250. Teams will love his blend of size, speed, and power, making him one of the top prospects in this year’s draft.
7. Arvell Reese — LB, Ohio State, Junior, 6’4, 240
   • The biggest riser in the class, most people did not even have Reese as the top LB on the Buckeyes roster. But his ability to do it all on their defense has propelled him into a top ten trajectory, and coaches will love his ability to do it all in the middle of their defense.
8. Peter Woods — IDL, Clemson, Junior, 6’3, 315
   • Woods has seen a hit in his stock due to the struggles Clemson has had as a whole, but he has been incredible on the interior. He is the elite athlete that teams are looking to add, who can do it all from the 3 tech.
9. Jermod McCoy — CB, Tennessee, Junior, 6’0, 195
   • Has not played this year, but was maybe the best corner in the nation last season. When healthy, there is no one in the draft better than McCoy on the outside.
10. Carnell Tate — WR, Ohio State, Junior, 6’3, 190
    • Not the fastest or most athletic guy, but Tate has risen because of his reliability on the outside and ability to get open for his quarterback. He has elite route running and a massive catch radius to give his QB a reliable option.
11. Mansoor Delane — CB, LSU, Senior, 6’1, 190
    • Delane is a consistent and reliable corner who can do it all on the outside. He will be a day-one starter in the NFL and will have a significant role for many years to come.
12. Davison Igbinosun — CB, Ohio State, Senior, 6’2, 190
    • The highest upside corner in the class, who has flashed elite skills but also has some major holes. Iggy is a strong player on the outside who is one of the best athletes and man corners in the class. Penalties are concerning, but have dropped significantly this year. This is our player profile on him.
13. Anthony Hill — LB, Texas, Junior, 6’3, 240
    • Hill started the year as my top pure inside linebacker and has backed it up this year. A former five-star recruit with the skills to do it all, Hill will be very appealing to NFL teams.
14. Kadyn Proctor — OT, Alabama, Junior, 6’7, 360
    • Proctor is a massive man and entered the year as the unanimous top tackle in the class. He fell some due to inconsistency, but he still looks like an elite prospect. Check my player profile on him here.
15. Chase Bisontis — IOL, Texas A&M, Junior, 6’6, 330
    • Far and away, my top guard in the class, Bisontis, has been dominant and is the anchor to the Texas A&M offensive line, which is one of the best in the nation.
16. Dante Moore — QB, Oregon, Junior, 6’3, 205
    • Moore has been my QB 1 for some time, and while his stock slipped some after a tough loss to Indiana, I am still confident in his skills.
17. Fernando Mendoza — QB, Indiana, Junior, 6’5, 225
    • Medoza is QB 1B for me in this class. He is the most reliable QB in the class, but a lack of athleticism limits his ability to create plays on his own. He will be a top 10 pick.
18. Avieon Terrell — CB, Clemson, Junior, 5’11, 180
    • Avieon may never be able to escape the shadow of his older brother AJ, but is a great corner in his own right. A very physical, hard-nosed corner who is not afraid to come up and make big hits in the flats and is also one of the best all-around coverage corners in the draft.
19. TJ Parker — EDGE, Clemson, Junior, 6’3, 265
    • Similar to Woods, Parker entered the year as one of the top prospects in the draft, but has seen his stock take a bit of a hit with the struggles of Clemson. He has still played great, and I think he deserves to be in the top half of the first round.
20. Kenyon Sadiq — TE, Oregon, Junior, 6’3, 245
    • Exactly what teams want from a modern NFL TE. Elite athlete with great hands, and is a brutal mismatch for both DBs and LBs.
21. Harrold Perkins — LB, LSU, Senior, 6’1, 220
    • Perkins was one of the most impressive Freshman players in the nation in 2021, but an unfortunate knee injury in 2024 caused concern for some scouts. Perkins is back in a big way and has proven to be one of the best defensive players in the nation.
22. Matayo Uiagalelei — EDGE, Oregon, Junior, 6’5, 270
    • Just relentless off the edge, Matayo is the brother of Chargers backup QB, DJ Uiagalelei. Matayo U is an incredible athlete who will have a great career harassing the QB from the 5-tech DE spot.
23. Makai Lemon — WR, USC, Junior, 5’11, 195
    • The best route runner in the class with some incredible hands to make acrobatic catches. The only thing that holds back his stock is a lack of size.
24. DJ McKinney — CB, Colorado, Junior, 6’2, 190
    • The most underrated corner in the class, McKinney has seen his stock fall as Colorado has struggled, but his athletic traits have not gone anywhere.
25. Damon Wilson Jr — EDGE, Missouri, Junior, 6’4, 250
    • Georgia really regrets that they did not pay Damon Wilson Jr, who has been tearing it up at Missouri this season. Elite athlete with tons of pass-rush skills.
26. David Bailey — EDGE, Texas Tech, Junior, 6’3, 250
27. Keith Abney II — CB, Arizona State, Junior, 5’11, 195
28. Anez Cooper — IOL, Miami, Senior, 6’6, 345
29. Olaivavega Ioane — IOL, Penn State, Junior, 6’4, 335
30. Justice Haynes — HB, Michigan, Junior, 5’11, 205
31. Chris Bell — WR, Louisville, Senior, 6’2, 225
32. Jonah Coleman — HB, Washington, Senior, 5’8, 225
    • The nation’s leader in total touchdowns, and is absolutely dominating in every facet of the game this season at Washington.
33. Chris Johnson — CB, San Diego State, Senior, 6’0, 180
34. Tyler Zuhn — OL, Texas A&M, Senior, 6’6, 320
35. Jalon Kilgore — CB, South Carolina, Junior, 6’1, 210
36. Cashius Howell — EDGE, Texas A&M, Senior, 6’2, 250
    • Howell is an impressive player, but his shorter arms have raised a lot of concerns for scouts.
37. Denzel Boston — WR, Washington, Junior, 6’4, 210
38. R Mason Thomas — EDGE, Oklahoma, Senior, 6’2, 250
39. Spencer Fano — OT, Utah, Junior, 6’5, 305
40. Connor Lew — IOL, Auburn, Junior, 6’3, 300
    • Injury has pushed Lew down, but before the injury was easily a top 20 prospect in the draft. If he makes a full recovery, he is the best center prospect in the class.
41. LaNorris Sellers — QB, South Carolina, Junior, 6’3, 240
42. Ty Simpson — QB, Alabama, Junior, 6’2, 210
43. Kamari Ramsey — S, USC, Junior, 6’0, 200
44. Colton Hood — CB, Tennessee, Sophomore, 6’0, 195
45. Zakee Wheatley — S, Penn State, Senior, 6’3, 200
46. Jadarian Price — HB, Notre Dame, Senior, 5’11, 210
    • Check out why Price is one of two Notre Dame RBs in the top fifty here.
47. Caleb Tiernan — OT, Northwestern, Senior, 6’8, 320
48. Iapani Laloulu — IOL, Oregon, Junior, 6’2, 325
49. Kaytron Allen — HB, Penn State, Junior, 5’11, 215
