This year’s class is loaded with talent at key positions, including quarterback, offensive tackle, and edge rusher. Below, we break down the top prospects, sleepers, and potential steals heading into draft night.
Top 10 Prospects
1. QB Carson Beck, Georgia
Carson Beck enters the draft as the consensus QB1 after a dominant senior season at Georgia. His elite accuracy, pocket presence, and ability to read defenses make him a franchise-changing talent. Expect him to go No. 1 overall.
2. OT Will Campbell, LSU
Campbell is a generational left tackle prospect with elite footwork and strength. He allowed just one sack in his college career and is a Day 1 starter in the NFL.
3. EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Pearce is the best pure pass rusher in this class, boasting a lightning-fast first step and advanced hand technique. He’s a lock for a top-five pick.
4. QB Quinn Ewers, Texas
Ewers has all the tools—arm talent, mobility, and clutch playmaking—but needs to improve his consistency. Still, his upside is undeniable.
5. WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
Burden is a dynamic playmaker who can dominate at all levels of the field. His route-running and YAC ability make him a future WR1.
6. CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
Hunter is a rare two-way talent, but his future is at cornerback. His ball skills and athleticism are off the charts.
7. OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
Banks is a mauler in the run game and a polished pass protector. He could start at either tackle spot immediately.
8. EDGE JT Tuimoloau, Ohio State
Tuimoloau is a complete edge defender with power, bend, and versatility. He’s a safe bet to be a double-digit sack artist.
9. QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Sanders has elite poise and anticipation, thriving under pressure. His football IQ and accuracy make him a high-floor prospect.
10. TE Brock Bowers, Georgia
Bowers is the best tight end prospect in years, offering elite receiving skills and underrated blocking ability.
