Welcome to The Ringer’s NFL draft 2025. Big boards. Mock drafts. Team needs. Player comparisons. Everything you need to dive deep into the 2025 class, all in one place.
Josh Simmons, OT. Simmons has lived up to the hype, taking first-team reps at left tackle this summer and looking near flawless in his two preseason games. His ability to block and pass protect will help him make an immediate impact in the league.
Chimere Dike, WR. Dike has carved out a role for himself as a reserve slot receiver, adding a speedy option to the Titans’ lineup. His willingness to fight for contested catches and his ability to find windows in coverage have helped him stand out as well.
Thomas Fidone II, TE. Fidone’s rare combination of size and strength has made him a tough target for opposing defenses in camp. He could end up on the practice squad if he can iron out some technical issues, but his physical presence and knack for making contested catches will keep him in the mix for a roster spot.
Dylan Fairchild, OG. The Bengals are high on their rookie interior lineman, who has taken the starting job at left guard in training camp. He’s been solid all summer and should provide immediate depth to a position that was decimated by injuries in 2024.
Denzel Burke, CB. Burke has flashed his potential as a special teams contributor and will likely make the initial roster, even with some other cornerback depth to contend with. He’ll be a special teams mainstay early on and has a chance to play a significant role in the secondary as well.
