Starting in December, I went to work. In all, I’ve evaluated over 300 Draft-eligible players (with about 75 non-Draft eligible players in the can for next year), watched too many All-22 games to count, broke a PlayStation 4 controller (I used it to toggle through the game film), and drank more Coke Zero than any human rightfully should consume.

The 2025 NFL Draft is almost upon us, and fans from every NFL team are looking for the best players to add to their squad. But they aren’t interested in every player — they always have position groups they are looking at more closely.
