2025 NFL draft: Louis Riddick's favorite prospects, sleepers
Copy Link
Preparing for the NFL draft is a labor of love. It's a grind to study an entire class, but it's also one of my favorite times of the year. The long process for 2025 is finally coming to an end, as Round 1 is April 24 -- less than one week away.
I wanted to pick a few prospects who jumped out to me on tape. The first five are names you already know -- true can't-miss first-rounders who are going to be stars. The second five are Day 2 sleepers I really like. These are guys I'd target if I were running an NFL team, and I could see all of them outperforming their eventual draft slots.
