Bleacher Report

● By Brent Sobleski
The top of the 2025 NFL draft class is fascinating, because it lacks a surefire No. 1 overall prospect. In recent years, the likes of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, edge-rusher Will Anderson Jr. and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. ran the table as Bleacher Report's No. 1 overall prospects. Far more uncertainty resides atop next year's group. Colorado's Travis Hunter is arguably the best pure talent, even though he doesn't have a clear position, and neither of his positions—cornerback and wide receiver—are usually considered for the slot. Another quarterback could very well take the spot, but none are currently viewed as slam-dunk options. No edge-rusher presents a complete package, either. An opening exists for something untraditional to occur. Maybe it's Hunter becoming the first name off the board (more on that in a bit). Or, a non-premium position could work its way to the top of the rankings.
