𝙎𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙉𝙀𝙒𝙎: Our @seniorbowl staff has been evaluating 2025 prospects since January and it's crazy how drastically the extra Covid year & NIL have impacted draft eligible numbers. So far, we've been grading 25+ prospects at most P5 (or is it P4 now?) schools. By comparison, pre-Covid, NFL scouts would typically write up 15-18 guys at NFL pipeline programs like Alabama, 8-12 at most P5, rarely more than 3-5 at G5 schools. The workload NFL scouts are responsible for these days almost isn't feasible. Simply aren't enough hours in a day. Below is sample of schools we've done recently. Total number of prospects includes returning senior starters, transfer portal adds, & in some cases elite juniors we anticipate could declare early: Louisville- 32 Rutgers - 31 Oregon - 29 Indiana - 28 Ucla - 28 Wisconsin - 28 Penn State - 27 SMU-25 Florida State- 25 Cincinnati- 24 Colorado- 23 #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples So what does this mean in regards to the depth of the draft? More value on day 3 / PFA because players will slip through the cracks?
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples @JimNagy_SB I know #DraftTwitter is focused on 2024 but give me one 2025 name I don’t know but should know.
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples Just go to UGA Jim. Probably 25+ there
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples 2025 will probably be the biggest draft class ever. Going to be a looooooooooong process.
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples Happy to see Rutgers on here with such a big number. Coach Schiano has done one hell of a job 🤟
@JimNagy_SB @seniorbowl @NFL @NFLnetwork @TomPelissero @dpbrugler @MySportsUpdate @RealTannenbaum @LRiddickESPN @InsideTheLeague @BruceFeldmanCFB @Andy_Staples Rutgers had a lot of guys come back for the 2024 season as 5th and 6th year seniors. Should be a very good defense and running game this year.
