2025 NFL Draft Top 100 Big Board: Only three quarterbacks make cut while defensive linemen dominate list
CBSN
This class is deep at edge rusher, defensive line, tight end and running back
We're down to the home stretch -- the 2025 NFL Draft gets underway on April 24 -- and while we'll continue the wall-to-wall coverage through the "With the First Pick" podcast, CBS Sports HQ, CBS Sports Network and those seven-round mock drafts you love so much, we're unveiling our top 100 players. With much of the pre-draft process behind us, the hay is all but in the barn, as the saying goes.
You've no doubt heard -- repeatedly -- that this class lacks depth at quarterback, but it more than makes up for it along the defensive line, in the secondary and at tight end and running back. In fact, defensive tackles and edge rushers account for 37% of the names on my top 100, defensive backs are good for another 18%, and while tight ends and running backs are just 12%, much of their value will be realized on Day 2 and into Day 3.
OK, let's get to it.
