Rossi's 2025 Top 50 and Positional Rankings 1 Week to Go!

[rossihunter2]

Pro days are finished and we're only a week out from Round 1 of the draft... So time for a quick update.

Top 50 ranking will actually be 51 (where I have a grade boundary - 51 players with 2nd round grades or better).
Positional rankings will be loosely top 10s, minimum of top 15s for OL and DB. Any player with a bonafide round 3 grade will be included, so some positions (that are stronger/deeper) will have longer lists than just their baseline 10/15. Similarly, QBs will only have 8 prospects listed, as everyone beyond 8 I have non-draftable grades on.

I've listed Travis Hunter as both a WR and a CB

Let me know what you think...

 

[JoeyFlex5]

I find you to be way high on Walter Nolen and Egbuka, and low on Tyler Warren. I would knock Darius Alexander to the 50s just on age and still needing development alone.

Other than that, I like it.

I respect the work you put in for this. You oughta get yourself out there with this work, you’d be more respectable than most of the content creators out there.

that's very kind of you to say

i know im high on walter nolen - but im high on the traits and the flashes - i think he's one of the few guys in this class that's a top 15-20 talent in any draft class - he's got more power and explosive force in his body and hands than any of the other DL in the class - he looks like the guy in the class with the most power 3 tech traits - i like derrick harmon and i like mason graham but they're more finesse players as rushers which doesnt always translate

i dont understand why people are low on egbuka - he's a route technician coming from the WR farm at Ohio State who's one of the safest prospects in the class - the only big question for him was athletic testing and he ticked all those boxes - he's strong, with good size, athletic with inside/outside versatility, who can be a plus part of your running game in the slot (and allow you to run out of 11 personnel) - he's not got the highest ceiling in the class but idk that any of the WRs in this class have crazy high ceilings that would make me care about the difference

Tyler warren may well be amazing, but i dont want to be the team that drafts him - he is an entirely unique draft evaluation, a TE who doesn't run routes, had the offence focused through him as a YAC guy but doesn't block well consistently, doesn't look like he separates well on tape and then didnt do any athletic testing (how athletic actually is he???) - he may be an amazing player, but he worries me as a prospect enough to be lower than consensus

Darius alexander i just love the skillset, obviously the age is a bit of a concern, but the way he moves at that size, the flexibility to move up and down the line and win everywhere - again he plays with power (which is important when compared against a guy like TJ Sanders who's got a lighter lower half and is maybe twitchier but definitely less powerful) - power translates where finesse and speed don't necessarily

i will also just highlight that i'm grading players for the ravens and the ravens scheme, guys like jordan burch or kaleb johnson would be much higher on my board if i was grading for a different team - same for McMillan who i think is probably better than 28th on the board and WR4 but also i dont think his skillset is a good fit for Lamar and this offence

Looks like Shedeur took a leap up the rankings from last time. Go back to the tape or what’s the rationale there out of curiosity?

Looks like Shedeur took a leap up the rankings from last time. Go back to the tape or what’s the rationale there out of curiosity?

it's more the other guys dropped back down - he's been pretty solidly in the 3rd round
but it's more that i came back down to earth on the other guys

gave shough to much credit for throwing the ball away vs shedeur holding onto the ball - watching more of shough, realised he's not good facing pressure at all

leonard and milroe im still high on but shedeur's much more pro ready which gave him a bump although i do keep flip-flopping with milroe because milroe's athletic ability and run feel do give him a floor as a back-up that sometimes makes me feel better about him (especially when im grading guys within the ravens scheme fit and especially with the guys who i dont have franchise QB (or potential franchise qb) level grades on)

and with leonard, i do think leonard has the arm talent and athletic ability to be better than shedeur but he's so much further away with his processing and his offence was so short-range that it's hard to grade him above a guy who did more with a higher level of difficulty even if i think he's more talented athletically

so it's not that shedeur rose, it's that shough fell down a grade and the other 3 guys were re-ordered within the same grade boundary (Shedeur, milroe and riley leonard all have 3rd round grades from me - shedeur's just more ready right now, even if i'd maybe prefer milroe or leonard on the ravens as a developmental 3rd QB behind cooper rush

and jaxson dart doesn't even factor for me

Ugh I like Travis. I hate that the Browns will ruin his career
