2025 NFL Draft consensus Big Board: Abdul Carter overtakes Travis Hunter for No. 1 spot
As the 2025 NFL Draft class continues to take shape, it’s time to take stock of which prospects are going to dominate the conversation between now and April.
Our consensus Big Board combines rankings from a wide range of NFL Draft experts to identify how the top prospects are viewed relative to the rest of their class. In theory, by the time we reach draft weekend, these rankings should help give us a handle on how the picks could (or, at least, should) play out.
