How many first-round prospects are there in the 2025 NFL draft class?
You might think the answer is 32 because there will be 32 selections in Round 1 on April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But we aren’t talking about how many players will ultimately be drafted in Round 1; we’re talking about how many carry a true Round 1 grade.
The average draft class has roughly 15 players who are deemed “first-round talents,” though the number varies by team and scouting department. These sacred evaluations are reserved for prospects who would be Day 1 selections regardless of year, and my own guideline is whether a player would have been a first-rounder in each of the past five classes.
My first look at the 2025 class has the lowest number of true first-round grades I’ve ever awarded. The final list in 2024 had 18 names on it, and the 2023 list had 20. This year, we’re at … 12. There is still time for things to change and that number to grow, but here are the players who deserve a first-round grade on my board right now. (Players’ overall rankings are in parentheses after their names.)
