draft after three years of college play. Prior to this, underclassmen weren&#8217;t even allowed to enter the NFL draft.</p><p>Oh how the turntables have turned.</p><p>Now we live in an era dominated by freshman right out of college. Some are 17-year old superstars like Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams or Dylan Raiola at Nebraska. And while we&#8217;re not arguing for an abolishment of the current rules, it is fun to look ahead to the future while putting an initial ranking on these players.</p><p>You have to suspend some disbelief for this exercise, but it basically boils down to this: if every player were available to be drafted, how would they be ranked based on current ability <em>and </em>future potential? Some players listed haven&#8217;t touched the field yet, so we reserve the right to amend our rankings once they do play, but this is a fun starting point based on our scouting and our conversations with NFL scouts and college coaches.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><p><em>Enter The Draft Scout YETI tailgate raffle and you could win over $600 in coolers and prizes + a lifetime subscription to The Draft Scout</em></p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://buy.stripe.com/bIY6pj5698hc3cc7ss&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;ENTER&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://buy.stripe.com/bIY6pj5698hc3cc7ss"><span>ENTER</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>2025 NFL Draft (Seniors)</strong></p><p>Shedeur Sanders, Colorado</p><p>Cam Ward, Miami</p><p>Carson Beck, Georgia</p><p>Quinn Ewers, Texas</p>
