NFL Draft 2025: August Top 200 Prospect Big Board

We're on the doorstep of college football's first full weekend of games

The first games of Week 1 of the new college football season took place last night, and I already have a few notes for the players I evaluated over the summer. Here’s a little primer going into the rest of college football’s opening week. Enjoy reading through my first top 200 2025 NFL Draft big board of the season.

I broke the top 200 into ten tiers. The tier a prospect belongs to is more important than their individual ranking within the tier. Most players are interchangeable within their tiers depending on factors like supporting cast, target share, scheme fit, measurables, etc.

These rankings will become more precise as the year goes on. My summer scouting focuses heavily on placing prospects into buckets that represent their draft ranges. Some of these buckets, especially the fourth and fifth rounds, overflow.

The overflow of grades in these areas is corrected by players underperforming, overperforming, or returning to school at the end of the season. By the end of the process, the number of players with these round grades more closely matches the actual round size.

There are a few small school prospects in the honorable mention section that I’m still waiting to completely evaluate, but I wanted to include them based on my limited exposure. This is also nice for my personal record-keeping since it reminds me to circle back around for those players.
