College football is officially here, with Week 1 on deck. Plus, the 2024 NFL season is less than a week away. So it sure seems like a good time to take an early look at the 2025 NFL draft, right?
We asked our NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr., Matt Miller, Jordan Reid and Field Yates to answer 25 questions and make early predictions for what might happen next April. Who will go No. 1, and how many quarterbacks will be first-rounders? Which positions and schools will have most Day 1 picks? What prospects could be sleepers -- and risers -- over the next eight months, and who will dominate at the combine after the season? Our experts even did mini mock drafts of the top five selections, predicted the College Football Playoff national champion and made their Heisman Trophy picks.
To get you ready for the college football (and NFL) season, here's what you need to know for the NFL draft.
