The 2025 NFL draft is light on future All-Pros but strong on starters, scouts say.

The Philadelphia Eagles' dominant Super Bowl LIX win fueled the narrative change for this draft class.

The lack of buzz surrounding the class reflects the number of quarterbacks at the top of the board.

There could be fewer trades into the top 10 because of the lack of blue-chippers and elite quarterbacks.

There's a good chance this year 's draft will feature the most running backs picked since 1994 .

It's also another strong year for tight ends, with seven more having a good shot of being selected by Day 2 .

The defensive line group must be lauded, with 31 defensive linemen in my top 100 .
