I don’t know if it’s the COVID era ending or simply a fluke, but the 2025 NFL Draft class is decidedly “meh” a little over six months out. Many of the young, athletic freaks we saw last fall have failed to make the leap into first-round lock status. And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that with today’s NIL money, many of these prospects will likely opt to return to college next fall. That being said, there’s a very intriguing crop of quarterbacks coming up that I’d bet good money we see at least three end up in the first round.
Note: The draft order is based on SportsLine’s Super Bowl odds but in reverse order (ahead of the Week 6 games).
