New Orleans Saints: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina |
|
Unless Tyler Shough impresses as a rookie, New Orleans will be looking for a true franchise quarterback.
Sellers (6-3, 242) has a big-time skill set and could be a breakout star in 2024 or 2025. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns. Sellers is a true dual-threat quarterback with dangerous running ability and has real arm talent. His mobility, athleticism, and creativity to ad lib his team into a big play is very desired by pro teams, and Sellers could rise high if has a big 2025 season.

Tennessee Titans: Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn |
|
The Titans grab a young impact player for their defensive line.
Faulk was a beast for Auburn in 2024, with a big-time presence behind the line of scrimmage. He had seven sacks, 45 tackles, and one forced fumble. He has shown speed and power as a pass rusher while being a big-bodied lineman to defend the run. The 6-foot-6, 288-pounder has upside to develop as he gains experience.

Cleveland Browns: Xavier Chaplin, OT, Auburn |
|
Come next April, the Browns could be looking for an upgrade at left tackle.
With Virginia Tech, Chaplin (6-7, 338) was one of the top left tackles in the ACC in 2024. He improved as a blocker after a solid debut season as a starter in 2023 for the Hokies. Chaplin has excellent size with impressive movement skills for such a big blocker. He has the potential to be a top-50 pick next April with a strong season in the SEC.

Cleveland Browns: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU |
|
The Browns could be looking at some attrition at cornerback. Here’s a young talent to build around for the long term.
Nussmeier (6-2, 200) spent a few seasons as the backup to Jayden Daniels, but now he has taken advantage of the opportunity to start and has turned himself into a legit prospect for the NFL. Nussmeier completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,403 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. There is no doubt that Nussmeier has the arm talent to be a pro starter, as he has a powerful arm that has no issue going vertically downfield. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Nussmeier is getting good pro preparation from Brian Kelly, and Nussmeier looks like an early-round prospect for the 2025 or 2026 NFL Draft.

Carolina Panthers: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State |
|
Carolina’s defense will likely get shredded again in 2025. They need some difference makers in each position group, and here is the best defensive player available.
In 2024, Downs had 76 tackles with six passes broken up and two interceptions. Downs was phenomenal for Alabama in 2023, recording 107 tackles, two interceptions, three passes broken up, and a forced fumble. After the season, he transferred to Ohio State. Downs (6-0, 205) has the potential to be a star prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

New York Giants: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson |
|
The Giants grab a tackle to pair with Dexter Lawrence.
Woods got his season off to a strong start against Georgia, and he has been disruptive for Clemson. In 2024, he had three sacks and 26 tackles. Woods (6-3, 315) has upside to be better in 2025.

Chicago Bears: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson |
|
The Bears add an end to pair with Montez Sweat.
Parker has had a breakout sophomore season for the Tigers, recording 57 tackles, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles in 2024. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound player has excellent size and impressive instincts for his age. In his freshman season, Parker posted 5.5 sacks and 33 tackles.

Las Vegas Raiders: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State |
|
Unless their rookies prove otherwise, the Raiders need a No. 1 receiver to pair with Brock Bowers.
Tyson was a dangerous weapon for the Sun Devils in 2024 as he hauled in 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tyson is fast with easy acceleration. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder has adequate size and showed some serious speed and explosiveness in 2022 when he averaged 21.4 yards per reception (22-470-4).

Dallas Cowboys: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame |
|
The Cowboys could use a long-term answer at running back.
In 2024, Love had a breakout season for the Fighting Irish, producing a lot of clutch plays to help the Irish reach the National Championship. As a sophomore, Love averaged 6.9 yards per carry for 1,125 yards with 17 touchdowns. He also caught 28 passes for 237 yards. Love has a strong build and is a physical downhill runner. Love is a talented runner with speed and instincts. He reminds me of Nick Chubb at Georgia.

Miami Dolphins: Isaiah World, OT, Oregon |
|
The Dolphins could use more offensive line talent.
The 6-foot-8, 309-pounder World dominated at Nevada, and if he plays as well at Oregon, he could skyrocket for the 2025 NFL Draft. As a pass blocker, World has a natural build with good size, strength, and length to play on the edge. He does a nice job of sinking his weight to stop bull rushes, and he shows an impressive ability to kill speed to power attempts. World does an excellent job of sustaining his blocks with the upper body strength to tie up defenders. In the ground game, World uses his strong upper body to knock defenders back and push them around. He has real power at the point of attack and blocks with a mean streak. With overwhelming mass, he can knock defenders flat on their backs and will bury them with a violent pancake block.

New England Patriots: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington |
|
The Patriots could consider adding more young receiver talent for Drake Maye.
After Washington lost a trio of good receivers to the NFL, Boston enjoyed a breakout season for the Huskies in 2024. He had 64 receptions for 834 yards and nine touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 209-pounder has mismatch size and looks like he is just scratching the surface of his potential.

New York Jets: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama |
|
The Jets grab a cornerback to pair with Sauce Gardner.
In 2024, Jackson had 51 tackles with seven passes defended and two interceptions. Jackson (6-1, 190) has a good skill set and potential to rise. Jackson did not become the star he was expected to be at USC, but he could blossom at Alabama. He had 32 tackles with three passes defended in 2023.

Indianapolis Colts: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson |
|
The Colts grab a corner upgrade to go with Charvarius Ward.
Terrell (5-11, 180) is a fast and fluid cover corner who is extremely adept at running the route to prevent separation. He has excellent ball skills, instincts, and plays bigger and stronger than his size. The size and future durability are the biggest concerns for the NFL. Terrell worked his way onto the field as a freshman and had five starts. He recorded 19 tackles with four passes broken up and an interception. In 2024, Terrell started every game and totaled 58 tackles with two interceptions, 12 passes broken up, three forced fumbles, and 4.5 tackles for a loss. Terrell is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.

Los Angeles Rams: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama |
|
The Rams could use more young offensive line talent.
Overall, Proctor played well in 2023 as a freshman. Except for struggling against Michigan in the college football playoff, Proctor was generally reliable in protecting Jalen Milroe. Proctor (6-7, 360) is a massive lef tackle who could also be a right tackle candidate in the NFL. Sources from Alabama have said that Proctor has make-up and character concerns.

Minnesota Vikings: Keon Sabb, S, Alabama |
|
The Vikings take a replacement for Harrison Smith.
Sabb has been a tough defender for Alabama in 2024. He had 39 tackles with two interceptions and four passes broken up. As a Michigan Wolverine in 2023, Sabb had 28 tackles, two interceptions, and four passes broken up.

Seattle Seahawks: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas |
|
The Seahawks could use some linebacker youth.
Hill (6-3, 235) was impressive as a true freshman in 2023, and it looked like he was scratching the surface of his ability. He totaled 67 tackles with five sacks, one forced fumble, and two passes defended. In 2024, Hill had 113 tackles with eight sacks, one pass broken up, and an interception.
