2025 NFL Draft: Daniel Jeremiah shakes up Top 50 player rankings in big way following NFL Scouting Combine

NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah shook up his top 50 player rankings following the NFL Scouting Combine. The 2025 NFL Draft is a little more than a month away.

The scouting combine gives scouts and analysts new looks at players that they haven’t seen on tape yet. Sometimes there’s little movement, up or down, with players.

However, sometimes players can make a big impact now that the draft is approaching. So let’s dive into Jeremiah’s top 50 players.

1. Abdul Carter, EDGE – Penn State

Carter is the top player after the scouting combine and it’s hard to argue. This has been trending for weeks at this point.

The Penn State pass rusher is a strong candidate to go No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans, or someone else of course. He’s an instant impact type of player.

2. Travis Hunter, CB/WR – Colorado

Hunter, the Heisman winner, could be argued as the best player before or after the scouting combine. It just depends on what you value with the top pick.

Amid the Carter and quarterback discussion, Hunter almost seems forgotten about. Not really, but Hunter going No. 1 overall might not happen at this point, but he’s still more versatile than any other player by attempting to play two positions in the NFL.

3. Ashton Jeanty, RB – Boise State

Jeanty was the Heisman runner up and is Jeremiah’s third best player after the scouting combine. There’s no doubt how good he is at carrying an offense. 

However, it remains to be seen where he’ll go in the draft. He’s a high quality pick, but teams will likely prioritize other needs over a star running back.

4. Mason Graham, DT – Michigan

Graham is in Jeremiah’s top five players after the scouting combine and he might very well be a top five pick. The interior defensive lineman is very disruptive.

Graham can stuff the run and rush the passer from the inside. It’s a rare combination and he looks like an instant starter.

5. Tyler Warren, TE – Penn State

Warren is Jeremiah’s top tight end in the draft after the scouting combine. Following the 2024 season, it’s hard to argue that point.

Warren can basically line up anywhere on the field and make plays happen in traffic and open space. Now we wait to see where he lands.

6. Colston Loveland, TE – Michigan

Speaking of tight ends, Loveland is next up following the scouting combine. The Michigan tight end might be flying under the radar in most NFL mock drafts.

But for Jeremiah’s player rankings, He’s in the top 10. You don’t want to miss out on this prospect this spring.

7. Jalon Walker, EDGE – Georgia

Walker can make you pay on the edge and the Georgia pass rusher shouldn’t last too long in this draft. Especially if he’s a top 10 player on Jeremiah’s board following the scouting combine.

Good luck to opposing quarterbacks this year once Walker is in the league. He’s another one of these instant impact type of players.

8. Jahdae Barron, CB – Texas

Barron is a do it all type of player in the secondary and one of the best defensive backs in the draft. Jeremiah loved him after the scouting combine.

Baron has great timing as a blitzer too. So if you don’t want to throw his way, he’s going to get after the ball carrier or quarterback.

9. Will Campbell, OT – LSU

Campbell is one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL Draft. Jeremiah kept him in as a top 10 player following the scouting combine.

People like Kelvin Banks of Texas, but Campbell might be slightly better. Either way, you’re getting a franchise tackle in this draft.

10. Cam Ward, QB – Miami

Ward is the first quarterback on Jeremiah’s list and a top 10 player following the NFL scouting combine. Based on the needs of teams at the top of the draft, Ward could be the top pick.

He improved every year at Incarnate Word, Washington State and Miami. He’s arguably one of the best QBs in Miami history, despite playing just one season too.
