2025 NFL Draft big board: Live updated player rankings

[ASFN Admin]

The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft begins Thursday night. It could end up being one of the most unpredictable ones in recent memory.

Cam Ward is expected to be the No. 1 overall selection by the Tennessee Titans; a consensus has seemingly been reached among the rest of the top five picks by NFL draft experts.

Beyond that, there are a lot of questions about the exact order players will come off the board.

The reason for this? While the 2025 NFL Draft is viewed as a deep class during which teams should be able to find multiple starters, there aren't as many players as usual with first-round grades, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. That could cause a wider-than-average variance in big boards across the league, especially early in the draft.

Still, NFL analysts and fans alike have a strong idea of the group of players who could go in the first round. There are plenty of talents about whom to get excited and they could quickly make an impact at the professional level.
