NFL Draft 2025 – 17 Prospects Invited to Attend

Travis Hunter, Cam Ward, Abdul Carlter & Ashton Jeanty Highlight Event in Green Bay

Frank Coyle/ Head scout

Seventeen prospects have accepted invitations to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which begins at 8 p.m. ET on April 24. The group includes three of the top quarterbacks in this year’s class and one of the most fascinating draft prospects in recent memory. QB Cam Ward is expected to hear his name called #1 overall by the Tennessee Titans and will be at the event in Green Bay. He heads a trio of QBs in attendance, including talented SEC passers, Jaxson Dart (Mississippi) and Jalen Milroe (Alabama).

Among the 17 attendees are nine offensive players, seven defensive prospects and one unique two-way blue chip prospect, Travis Hunter of Colorado. Hunter won the Heisman Trophy playing both sides of the ball — excelling at wide receiver and cornerback and probably lines up at both positions in the NFL.

The Heisman runner-up, Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, will also be in attendance. Jeanty, who ran for 2,601 yards last season, is seeking to join Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson as the only running backs drafted in the top 10 since 2018.

Three of the highly touted talents at wide receiver — Hunter, Texas’ Matthew Golden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan — will be in Titletown for this year’s draft.  They head a deep group of receivers which probably will provide the most draft selections over the seven rounds.  The offensive line will be represented by Alabama’s Tyler Booker, LSU’s Will Campbell and Ohio State’s Josh Simmons. Most of the 17 prospects will be selected on the first round, though a couple may have to wait until day two to hear their name called. It always create drama as the 32 selections are made to see if all know their pro destination. Regardless, any remaining player will probably go very early in the 2nd round and still a core member of their new club.

4. Rams               8 Commanders

Travis Hunter of Colorado is the only prospect in Draft Insiders’ history to rank at two positions. He is both the #1 receiver and #1 cornerback – an amazing feat considering that each position is one of the premier groups in the NFL. Hunter is unrivaled with players to compare to overall. At wideout, we compare him to John Jefferson is size, athleticism and overall development. As a cornerback we compare him to Champ Bailey who saw some actioin at receiver and returner.  He did not average anywhere near 110 snaps per game like Hunter. Truly a generational prospect and capable of being an impact regular performer on both sides of the ball.  He has been our #1 overall prospect since last August and we never considered moving him down at any time.

Positional Overview: With the evolution of the expanded NFL passing game over the past decade, receivers have become the dominant performers in a pro-offense. At this year’s NFL Combine, another record number of receivers (26) ran sub 4.5 forty times.  Matthew Golden led the class with a blazing 4.29 time, though it fell short of the new NFL Combine record an amazing 4.21 sprint by Xavier Worthy during last year’s combine. Nine other players ran sub 4.4 times as the advanced training methods produce new manufactured speed. This year’s group is an exceptionally deep and a quality class which may rival the best of recent classes. This is a very strong group from the top ten through the middle rounds. This deep class has many blue and red chip prospects. This class has the talent and depth at the position to be a bumper crop which should produce many new NFL starters and a record number of overall selections. This position could provide many playmakers with as many as 5-6 with 1st round choices. The top four prospects, Travis Hunter, Tetairoa McMillan, Matthew Golden and Luther Burden are playmakers at a high level of development to provide rookie impact. Each is rated as 1st round receivers. Hunter is a multi-position blue chip athlete at both wideout and cornerback. He is unrivaled as a two-way prospect with elite skills on both sides of the ball. Another receiver Emeka Egbuka is a possible 1st round pick after strong 2024 performance. The top 100 could provide a new record of prospects with 15+ chosen. Unheralded prospects, Jayden Higgins, Jack Bech, Isaiah Bond and Jalen Royals are all potential early NFL starters with above average developed skills. Probably 35+ receivers could go over the seven-round event. The underclassmen will once again play a huge factor here. There are a few fast-rising prospect like Jaylin Noel and Kyle Williams are moving up quickly off impressive postseasons. There will be many rookie FAs who carry make it grades entering camp and most likely practice squad members.

Cornerbacks – Top 40 Prospects – Grade: A

Positional Overview:
This year’s cornerback class is a high-quality group which is very deep and especially top heavy with a few premier prospects. There are a few blue chips expected to go in the ton ten selections. Travis Hunter is our #1 overall prospect with rare talent and impact at two positions. He will go in the top 4 prospects in the 1st round. Will Johnson shows prototypical skills and is expected to go in the top 10-12 overall selections. Underclassmen dominate our top ten prospects, though the senior group is a very solid with nice development. Jahdae Barron is a developed versatile prospect and probable mid-first round selection. He could be selected in the top 10 overall picks with a rookie starting grade. Maxwell Hairston has the skill set to start early and is NFL ready after an awesome final performance and NFL Combine effort. He probably goes in the later 1st round area. Shavon Revel Jr. and Benjamin Morrison are highly regarded defenders who missed extensive time in 2024 to injuries which cost them 1st round grades. They most likely go on the 2nd day and great value for clubs. Azareye’h Thomas is another in a long line of FSU corners to enter the NFL. He is a physical cover man with the NFL makeup to excel on the outside. Trey Amos has prototypical shutdown skills for the pro game. He is rising fast and could earn a late 1st round selection. Darien Porter, Dorian Strong and Nohl Williams are rising cover men with well-developed talent to press for early starting time. Both Jacob Parrish and Denzel Burke are battle tested and figure is coming off an impressive career finish. Parrish is one of the best ball hawks in this class and has the length DCs like in outside defenders. Both are well developed athletes who are NFL ready. Bihlal Kone, Caleb Ransaw and Jordan Hancock are coming off impressive final performances plus strong postseason workouts. They could go early in the 3rd day. This is a deep group that will supply many NFL starters well into the 3rd day of the process. There could be at least 12 prospects selected in the top 100 choices. There will probably be 15+ prospects selected in the top 150 picks with the expected run-on corners from the mid-1st round through the early 3rd day. This class has very good depth and will provide a number of middle round steals. This position has annually provided the most overall selections and could duplicate that again. This group could supply as many as 35 total drafted prospects and another 40 high priority FA. This deep crop will supply a huge group of big corners with some versatility to also slide to safety in the nickel and dime sub packages.
