A lot to be said of Division 1 players that go unappreciated and overlooked each year. Marcus Wehr and Micah Sahakian should have a chance to go early in the draft. Will be a long wait until the season ends and the Bowls game conclude. Both Wehr and Sahakian could surprise as immediate starting offensive tackles. 2025 NFL Draft Offensive Lineman LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas) Sophomore – managed to hold his own vs Will Anderson Jr entering 2023 NFL draft as the top player in the draft. Banks dominated as a pass protector only allowing 3.5% pressure rate and 98.4 pass-block. had an 80.8 PB and 89.3 RB grades in a zone-run scheme. Week 7 allowed zero pressures and only 8 pressures all season (weeks 0-6). Has a 74.6 RB grade and an 88.0 PB grade week 7.

Round 6-UDFA Biggest undrafted free agency list of offensive linemen: UDFA OT Jalen Travis (Iowa State) While at Princeton finished with an overall 80.7 PFF Grade and 9th best OT in D1. – Much like OT Tyler McLellan (Campbell), signed with Chargers, project to UDFA in 2025. See how he does at Iowa State against better competition. OT/OG Grey Zabel (North Dakota State) Zabel finished 2023 with an overall 79.3 PFF Grade as an OG. Finished 10th among other listed tackles last season. As a guard would have been 4th best D1. Project UDFA. UDFA OG Nick Taiste (South Carolina State) in 2023 had an overall 79.1 PFF Grade, good for 4th best OG in D1. Project to be an UDFA much like Ross Palmer and Donny Ventrelli in 2024. UDFA OC Gus Miller (South Dakota State) in 2023 finished (1) best OC with an overall 78.4 PFF Grade and as a junior won the Rimington Award for the FCS as the best player in D1 football. UDFA OG Evan Beerntsen (South Dakota State) in 2023 had an overall 77.4 PFF Grade, good for 5th best OG in D1. Project to be an UDFA much like Ross Palmer and Donny Ventrelli in 2024. UDFA OG Rush Reimer (Cal) – Reimer transferred to Cal for 2024. Previously at Montana State, he earned an overall 75.8 PFF Grade, good T-8th best OG in 2023. See how he does against better CFB competition. Project goes UDFA much like Jake Kubas (7) (NY Giants), Ross Palmer (3), and (2) Donny Ventrelli (Bears). Could be the next Mason McCormick (6) drafted by the Steelers P119 in the 2024 NFL draft. UDFA OT Josh Simmons (OSU) – In 2022 Simmons was flagged 17 time and had 7 more penalties after his first 8 games as a buckeye before adding just one flag in final five games in 2023. Ignore UDFA LT Josh Conerly JR (Oregon) prone to false starts due to nerves. Had 3 false starts vs Texas Tech. Ignore OL Jonah Monheim (USC) – struggles vs bull rush. May improve draft stock will have to see how this season plays out. OL Earnest Greene III (Georgia) – father played for SD Chargers went to 1994 Super Bowl. Potential late Day 1 pick. Only posted a 70.0 grade or higher in two of his 14 games in 2023. 2023 PFF TOW 4 honors. Need to see improvement this season. Running backs coming later this morning. -
JT is obviously the starter and good/great when healthy. Trey Sermon was signed last year and was okay/good. A tough runner with decent vision. Evan Hull was drafted last year but was injured. He is more of a receiving threat more than anything. Then Tyler Goodson. He has some speed but stone hands. Okay that might be harsh but he is the one who dropped the ball to end the Texans game. -
As most here probably know quarterbacks have never really been my area of expertise and have left a few out. Sorry Sanders but Colorado got nothing on them Huskers this year. As time allows will be adding more sections in the near future. To start off for now here is a quick look at this college seasons quarterbacks leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft and my early grades per round. 2025 NFL Draft QBs QB Cam Miller (ND St.) - Overall 2023 PFF grade 93.9. Outstanding 71.5% completion rate, threw 2687 yards, 9.2 average, 19 TD/4 INTs. Dual threat QB who also rushed for 629 yards (4.7 avg) adding another 13 TDs on the ground. Round 1 QB Mark Gronowski (SD St) - final 2023 offense grade of 92.4 (3rd), pass grade of 90.5 (8th), run grade of 85.5. Good for 4th best behind Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix. PFF had Gronowski with a 93.0 PFF grade only behind Cam Miller (ND St. 93.9). Round 1. QB Jalen Milroe (Alabama) - dual threat QB with a chance to go in R1 but needs to show significant improvement as a pocket passer. Needs to develop better accuracy and anticipation. In 2023, Milroes recorded a 9.2% big-time throw rate in 2023, the second-best mark in the nation. His 35 runs of 10+ yards were 4th among FBS QBs and his 96.9 passing grade on deep throws trailed only Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. QB Jaxson Dart (Mississippi) – His play was elevated in Lane Kiffin’s RPO/play-action-heavy offense working outside of the pocket. Needs to get better in the pocket but already breaking Eli Manning’s records with an 82% release speed, 82% short passing, 89% medium passing, 93% long passing, and 80% rush/scramble grades. Dart’s growing on me at a potential top draft pick for the Colts next draft to backup AR. QB Riley Leonard (Duke) dual threat QB with decent 4.52s-forty speed. Round 3 QB Grayson McCall (Coastal Carolina) mobile pocket passer quick release speed (80%). Projects Round 3-5 QB Jordan Travis (FSU) – Mobile pocket passer. Round 5 QB Matthew Sluka (Holy Cross) – 2023 overall PFF grade of 92.2. Dual threat QB mostly as a runner not as a passer but low INT has thrown over 20 TDs past two seasons and only 4-5 INTs. Rushed for over 1200 yards in 2022-2023. Round 5 QB Zevi Eckhaus (Washington St); 90.8 PFF Grade) –Past 3 years at Bryant, Eckhaus averaged over 60% comp, 2345-3228 yards, with 21-28 TD/3-15 INTs. Can rush but seems to be more a true pocket passer. Finished (6th) best QB in D1 in 2023. See what he does his senior season against better competition at Washington State. Projecting Round 6-UDFA QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) dual threat QB. Round 7-UDFA Next up OL (to be continued)

Interesting as both NFL.com and NFLDraftBuzz.com both have Cooper DeJean running a slow 4.50s-forty speeds. Since it's on the internet it's got to be true (well sort of apparently). This draft is over. Stay tuned will be posting an extensive list and breakdown for the upcoming college season of draftees and expected UDFAs. It will be my extensive deep dive in many years.
