2025 NFL Draft Stock Up
Tyler Booker, G, Alabama
Booker has been superb this season for the Crimson Tide. All season, Booker has been stonewalling bull rushes, tying up speed rushers, and getting movement at the point of attack in the ground game. The powerful Booker can get a serious push at the point of attack with brute physicality and power. He is a people mover in the ground game and looks like a plug-and-play starter at guard in the NFL. Booker could be a first- or second-round pick next April.
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Jeanty has been dominating in incredible fashion this season on a weekly basis. A week after a four-touchdown game against Washington State, Jeanty had three touchdowns and 186 yards on only three carries against Utah State. Jeanty already has 16 touchdowns this season and has been utterly unstoppable. His lowest rushing total this year was 127 yards against Portland State, which was in a blowout where he only had 11 carries. Jeanty looks like a first-round pick next April.
Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn
One Auburn player who has helped himself this season is senior running back Jarquez Hunter. Hunter is a tough downhill runner who has the power to break tackles and pick up yards after contact. He ran well against Georgia, with 91 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Hunter (5-10, 209) has a strong build with good body lean to run behind his pads. With his technique and running style, Hunter is hard to get a hold of for defenders, and he will bounce off a lot of tackles. Hunter has been one of the better backs in the nation this year, and he is helping his draft grade.
Le’Veon Moss, RB, Texas A&M
Another running back who impressed on Saturday was Moss as he dominated Missouri to lead the Aggies to an upset over the top-10 Tigers. Moss ran for 138 yards on 12 carries with three touchdowns. His 75-yard touchdown run in the first half blew the game open for the Aggies and they never looked back in routing Missouri. The 6-foot, 215-pound Moss is a downhill runner with power and quickness to hit the hole. In previous seasons, Moss was buried on the depth chart, but as a junior, he is enjoying a breakout season and is putting himself on the map for pro evaluators.
2025 NFL Draft Stock Down
Nic Anderson, WR, Oklahoma
Entering this season, Anderson looked like he could be the next star Sooners wide receiver. Last year, he hauled in 38 passes but turned those catches into 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. Anderson suffered an injured quad in the preseason that caused him to miss a few games. He returned to the field against Tennessee but didn’t last long before leaving the game, having re-injured the quad. Anderson has not played since, and it sounds like he will miss multiple more games. With the season half over, Anderson should return to Norman next year and put together a healthy season rather than enter the NFL Draft.
Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia
Ratledge went down weeks ago with a sprained MCL and needed tightrope ankle surgery to fix his injury. Ratledge is expected to return this season. Even though he is likely to come back, team sources say they have yet to be impressed with Ratledge on tape, and they feel his backup has a better skill set for the NFL. An injury and underwhelming play is hurting Ratledge’s draft stock this season.
