Ferrell had three tackles with an interception and two passes defended. In 2024, Ferrell was a tough defender for the Hoosiers. He had 49 tackles with four interceptions and one pass batted. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has good size to go along with ball skills.

In 2025, Singleton has averaged 4.5 yards per carry for 95 yards with three touchdowns. He has four receptions for 37 yards
For the NFL, Singleton (6-0, 224) is a well-rounded back who can attack defenses in a variety of ways. He has a strong build and is a physical runner who shows the strength to pick up yards after contact. In 2024, Singleton ran well for the Nittany Lions, averaging 6.4 yards per carry for 1,099 yards with 12 touchdowns. He was also a nice contributor as a receiver out of the backfield with 41 catches for 375 yards with five touchdowns. Singleton flashed in previous seasons while splitting carries. In 2023, he averaged 4.4 yards per carry for 752 yards with eight scores. That season, he caught 26 passes for 308 yards with two touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans: Earnest Greene III, OT, Georgia |
![]() |
The Titans grab more blocking help for Cam Ward. They could draft a tackle and kick Dan Moore inside to guard.
Greene was Georgia’s starter at left tackle over the past two seasons and has played well. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder fits with some other Bulldogs left tackles who have not been typical edge protectors in terms of height and length, but he is strong and quick. Greene has some areas to improve, but he could be a starting tackle or guard in the NFL.

New York Giants: Tony Rojas, LB, Penn State |
![]() |
The Giants could use some linebacker youth.
In 2025, Rojas has 13 tackles. Rojas (6-1, 230) was a good contributor to the Nittany Lions’ defense in 2024 and really excelled in pass coverage. He had tremendous ball production with three interceptions and four passes broken up. He totaled 58 tackles and six tackles for a loss in 16 starts. Rojas has a good skill set with the upside to be even better in 2025.

Rd: 1 Pk: 6The Bears have some expensive veterans at linebacker, and Chicago could decide to get younger and cheaper.
In 2025, Styles has eight tackles. Styles (6-4, 230) has a lot of talent and started to play up to his potential during the 2024 season. He finished with 100 tackles, six sacks, one forced fumble, and five passes broken up. In 2023, he recorded 53 tackles, two sacks, and one pass batted, plus he has been very good in pass coverage. Styles started out as a safety, but was eventually moved to linebacker. Given his size, he fits best as a linebacker in the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 8The Cowboys draft an edge rusher with big upside.
To open 2025, Uiagalelei has three tackles and two sacks. Uiagalelei flashed big-time ability for the Ducks in 2024, recording 10.5 sacks with two forced fumbles, one interception, one pass batted, and 38 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 270-pounder has good size, strength, and athleticism. Team sources feel that Uiagalelei looks awesome in flashes but lacks consistency in 2024.

Rd: 1 Pk: 9 | Rd: 1 Pk: 22The Dolphins could use more interior offensive line talent.
The 6-foot-4, 334-pound Ioane is a strong blocker at the point of attack with the ability to generate movement in the ground game. He is also a reliable pass protector. Ioane is explosive, can mirror speed rushers, and plays with physicality with a nasty streak. Ioane looks like a guard for the NFL and probably does not have the length to kick outside to tackle.

New England Patriots: Javon Kilgore, CB/S, South Carolina |
![]() |

Rd: 1 Pk: 11The Jets grab a cornerback to pair with Sauce Gardner.

Rd: 1 Pk: 12The Colts need some defensive tackle youth.
In 2025, Jackson has three tackles and one pass batted. Jackson (5-11, 188) showed impressive cover corner ability for Boston College in 2024. He totaled one interception with five passes broken up and 21 tackles, but the numbers don’t illustrate that Jackson was a valuable man corner. In 2023, Jackson had 38 tackles with an interception. He started five games as a freshman and had 21 tackles. Jackson is a sleeper with the potential to rise.

Rd: 1 Pk: 13Graham Glasgow should be a backup. If Tate Ratledge stays at right guard the Lions will need an upgrade at center.
Lew (6-3, 300) broke into the starting lineup during his freshman season and was an impressive blocker for the Tigers. In 2024, Lew was even better and is a well-balanced blocker. He is strong and agile as a run blocker while being very reliable in pass protection. Lew looks like a potential long-term starter for the NFL.

In 2025, Anderson has 14 receptions for 172 yards. In the opener against Clemson, Anderson caught six passes for 99 yards. He has explosive speed, but is very undersized. Anderson (5-8, 187) is an extremely fast receiver who is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. In 2024, Anderson had 61 receptions for 875 yards and five touchdowns. Anderson has a lot of upside to develop.

Rd: 1 Pk: 16The Chargers could use more young talent on their defensive line.
In 2025, Gyllenborg has eight receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown. Gyllenborg impressed NFL advance scouts, and they gave him a favorable ranking among the 2026 tight end prospects. In 2024, Gyllenborg caught 30 passes for 425 yards with three touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Gyllenborg has good size, speed, and athleticism to be a potential three-down starter in the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 17Houston could use some young talent at linebacker.
Barham has six tackles. In 2024, Barham (6-3, 248) had 66 tackles with one sack and two passes defended. In 2023, he had 37 tackles with three sacks, an interception, and one pass batted.

Rd: 1 Pk: 24 | Rd: 2 Pk: 24Calais Campbell is not a long-term starter. Here’s a tackle to pair with Walter Nolen.
Durant has one tackle thus far. In 2024, Durant (6-1, 290) was an active defender at the point of attack, totaling 42 tackles with three sacks and one pass broken up. He is short and quick at the point of attack, but Durant could stand to get stronger to be more stout for the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 19The Falcons could consider adding more receiver talent to go with Drake London.
Thomas has three catches for 24 yards. Thomas (6-5, 205) is a tall receiver who presents a size mismatch against cornerbacks. The test will be to see how well he runs and if he can separate from cornerbacks during the 2025 season. In 2024, Thomas caught 39 passes for 574 yards and eight touchdowns.
Pittsburgh has two aging and declining cornerbacks in Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey. Here is a young replacement.
Gray played well overall in the season opener against Miami as he recorded three tackles with two passes broken up. Gray (6-0, 187) was a solid player for the Fighting Irish in 2024. He totaled 35 tackles with three interceptions and nine passes broken up. Sources say that Gray is instinctive, but they question his long speed and feel he is not a great tackler. He can be up and down, but has an inclination to make a big play to make up for some of the downs.

Rd: 1 Pk: 21Green Bay moved on from Jaire Alexander and could use more young talent at corner.
Everette has one tackle thus far. In 2024, Everette had 58 tackles with two forced fumbles, three interceptions, one sack, and three passes broken up thus far. Everette has a good skill set and a ton of upside to develop as he gains experience. In 2023, the sophomore corner played well for the Bulldogs, registering 29 tackles and five passes broken up. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder could take over as Georgia’s No. 1 corner in 2024.
Tampa Bay could use multiple young linebackers.
In 2025, Lawson has 10 tackles and was unimpressive against Florida State. Lawson (6-2, 239) was a tough defender for the Crimson Tide in 2024, making a lot of plays in the ground game and contributing some plays in pass defense. He had 76 tackles with two sacks, one forced fumble, an interception, and four passes defended. In 2023, he had 67 tackles with three sacks and four passes defended after recording 51 tackles and four passes broken up.

The 6-foot-6, 312-pound Pritchett has serious talent, but never became the consistently dominant player that he was capable of being at Alabama. After the 2024 season, Pritchett transferred to Nebraska. He has a lot of ability and upside to be a riser, but it remains to be seen if Pritchett has the work ethic to make the most of his skill set.

Capehart has two tackles and a sack thus far in 2025. In 2024, Capehart had 21 tackles and two passes batted. He is a tough run defender and is very tough to move at the point of attack. Clemson had a rotation of defensive linemen in 2023, but Capehart played well enough to impress the NFL advance scouts. In 2023, Capehart totaled 15 tackles, five tackles for a loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one pass broken up. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder has a good skill set with upside. Some team sources have said that Capehart is a similar player to Detroit Lions defensive tackles Alim McNeill and D.J. Reader.

Los Angeles Rams: Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson |

The Rams could use an understudy for Matthew Stafford.
In 2025, Klubnik has completed 60 percent of his passes for 426 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. In 2024, Klubnik completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,639 yards with 36 touchdowns and six interceptions. He is a good college quarterback, but has some limitations for the NFL. He is an accurate passer, but lacks a power arm, is undersized, and is not a true running threat. Klubnik (6-2, 205) flashed some ability in 2023, completing 64 percent of his passes for 2,844 yards, 19 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Klubnik needs to improve his pocket passing in 2024.

Rd: 1 Pk: 20 | Rd: 1 Pk: 26Denver adds more young cornerback talent.
To open 2025, Lee had seven tackles and one pass broken up. Lee is a tall corner with excellent length and size for the NFL. He could be a good fit as a press man corner. In 2024, Lee totaled 42 tackles with two interceptions, 10 passes broken up, and one forced fumble. He had 42 tackles with two picks and six breakups in 2023. If Lee shows speed to run deep with fast receivers and the twitch to handle quickness underneath, he could skyrocket.

In 2025, Sapp has six tackles and one sack. Sapp is a physical and quick defender at the point of attack. In 2024 he had seven sacks with 46 tackles and a forced fumble. At 6-foot-3, 272 pounds, Sapp has shown some versatility to rush from the inside or on the edge. Sapp could stay as an edge defender, or he could gain weight and grow into being a three-technique defensive tackle.

Rd: 1 Pk: 28The 49ers could use more young talent on the offensive line.
Carmona (6-5, 322) played well for Arkansas in 2024 showing ability as a run blocker and pass protector at left tackle. He is a solid player with upside to develop for NFL coaches. He was very good against Oklahoma State in Week 2. Carmona played left tackle at San Jose State in 2023 and 2022.

Buffalo Bills: Kyle Louis, OLB, Pittsburgh |
![]() |
The Bills take an understudy for Matt Milano.
In 2025, Louis has 11 tackles with two sacks. In 2024, Louis was a breakout star and one of the best linebackers in the nation as a sophomore. Louis was all over the field for the Panthers and made some clutch plays for his team. Louis was tremendous with 97 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, seven sacks, one forced fumble, four interceptions, and seven passes broken up. In pass coverage, Louis really stands out as a future contributor for the NFL. He is very smooth dropping in coverage and covers a lot of ground in zone. For the NFL, Louis (6-0, 225) is undersized, so he will need to work on taking on blocks, stacking, shedding, and getting on tackles. Given his size, that could be a persistent issue for him.

Rd: 1 Pk: 30Philadelphia grabs some defensive end youth.
Jackson was playing well before an injury knocked him out of the opener against Texas. Jackson (6-6, 258) was a solid defender for the Buckeyes in 2024, rotating behind Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau. In 2024, Jackson totaled 16 tackles with 1.5 sacks and a pass batted. He could produce more as a starter in 2025 with the potential to rise. Sources say that Jackson has a good skill set and could be a high riser.

Rd: 1 Pk: 31The Ravens add more young offensive line talent.
Wagner (6-6, 293) had an impressive 2024 redshirt sophomore season as the starting right tackle for the Fighting Irish. He has good height and length, as an edge blocker, but could stand to add some weight and strength to his frame for the NFL. Wagner was only in his first season as a starter, so he has the upside to rise as he gains experience and develops physically.
