#10 - Anthony Belton, OT, North Carolina State Wolfpack

#9 - Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas Razorbacks

Landon Jackson has all of the physical tools to potentially be an elite edge rusher. This year's class is extremely deep at the position, which is likely why has fallen a bit.

#8 - Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina Pirates

Ad

Shavon Revel likely would have been a first round pick this year if it weren't for his current knee injury. He has a ton of upside to potentially be a starting cornerback as soon as he fully recovers.

#7 - Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina Gamecocks

Nick Emmanwori is one of the most talented all-around defensive backs in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Safeties are not often thought of as a premier position, but he should make a major imapact for whichever defense he joins.

#6 - Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri Tigers

Luther Burden III saw his draft stock slide in recent weeks, but he has the typical skillset to succeed as a pro wide receiver. He could be a steal on Day 2 and may even be a better prospect than Matthew Golden and Emeka Egbuka, who were both selected in the first round.

#5 - Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M Aggies

Nic Scourton lacks the desirable speedy upside as an edge rusher prospect, but he makes up for it with power and technique. He could thrive in the right systam, exspecially if paired with an established pass rusher.

#4 - Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College Eagles

Donovan Ezeiruaku has arguably the safest floor of any any edge prospect remaining in the 2025 NFL Draft currently. He proved his production across four years as a starter in college football and his measurables are ideal for the position.

#3 - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado Buffaloes

Shedeur Sanders' slide has been one of the biggest stories of the 2025 NFL Draft so far. He was once considered a candidate to be the number-one pick, but has now fallen out of the first round. Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart were both drafted before him, so it will be interesting to see who takes a shot on the polarizing quarterback prospect.

#2 - Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall Thundering Herd

Mike Green has been one of the most productive pass rushers in the entire country, but the relativley inferior level of competition that he played against makes his outlook a bit questionable. His massive upside still suggests that he will likely be picked early in the second round.

#1 - Will Johnson, CB, Michigan Wolverines

Will Johnson is considered by many to be the best pure coverage cornerback in the 2025 NFL Draft class. His concerning injury history is probably the biggest reason for him sliding out of the first round, but a team will surely take a gamble on his elite potential at some point.
