The makeup of the 2025 class is different than what anyone has seen in recent years, and the Bleacher Report Scouting Department's initial draft board reflects that reality. No quarterback, pass-rusher or even offensive tackle resides at the very top. In fact, there are as many tight ends and running backs as projected left tackle prospects on B/R's top 30. However, the rankings start with arguably the most intriguing hybrid that the draft process has ever seen. After college football's first month of play, the site's scouting staff sat down to determine how next April's draft could look while overall evaluations remain ongoing. The group also provided insight into why certain prospects are rated where they are. Mainly, this draft board serves as a preliminary guideline for what's to follow.
