2025 NFL draft rankings: Field Yates' top 32 prospects

After a great week at the NFL combine, we're getting very close to the 2025 NFL draft. Pro days, team visits and medical rechecks are the big remaining data points before Round 1 begins April 24. We have a solid understanding of the board at this point, so it's a natural time to update rankings to reflect where things stand.

The combine is just one piece of the puzzle, and while the results are reflected below, each prospect's tape is still the driving force behind evaluations. And along those lines, remember that this ranking isn't representative of where I think players will ultimately get drafted. This is simply my personal ranking of how I stack the prospects based on their overall talent and what I see on tape. It doesn't factor in team needs or positional value.

One point I want to hammer home: The variance between prospects as we get further away from the top of the board gets smaller. In fact, guys in the Nos. 25-40 range are all pretty much in the same tier. There are close to a half-dozen prospects who have a valid case to be within the top 32 but fell out (and I noted those names at the bottom).

Here is my updated ranking of the top 32 players in the 2025 class, along with the top names at every position.
