NFL Draft 2025: October Top 250 Big Board

These are the top 250 2025 NFL Draft prospects I've evaluated this college football season

I’m up at 1 a.m. with a massive headache on a weeknight. Must be a big board day. This edition divides my top 250 prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft into 11 tiers. We can finally start making some bold (or dumb) declarations now that we finally have a large enough sample size from the 2024 college football season.

I want to drive home a few points before we get into this mess.

1. Rankings aren’t final yet. There’s a lot of season left to play.

2. The player’s tier is more important than their individual ranking. The tier/bucket a player falls in indicates the range I value them in.

3. Honorable mentions aren’t UDFA grades. Some honorable mentions are awaiting final grades and will rank on the November big board.

4. The rankings are bloated because we don’t know who is or isn’t returning to school for 2025.

5. I don’t weigh positional value heavily.

6. I prioritize on-field performance and long-term projection over short-term injuries.

7. These are all talented players. Let’s try to celebrate them.

8. For the last time, the player’s tier is more important than their individual ranking!
