Matt Miller of ESPN says there are 14 players in this draft he’s awarded 1st round grades. His list includes zero QBs.
"How many first-round prospects are there in the 2025 NFL draft class?
You might think the answer is 32 because there will be 32 selections in Round 1 on April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But we aren't talking about how many players will ultimately be drafted in Round 1; we're talking about how many carry a true Round 1 grade.
The average draft class has roughly 15 players who are deemed "first-round talents," though the number varies by team and scouting department. These sacred evaluations are reserved for prospects who would be Day 1 selections regardless of year, and my own guideline is whether a player would have been a first-rounder in each of the past five classes.
Even though there has been an increase since the combine has concluded, the 2025 class has the lowest number of true first-round grades I've ever awarded: 14, up from 12 in my last update. To compare, the final list in 2024 had 18 names on it, and the 2023 list had 20. There is still time between now and the draft on April 24 for that number to grow, but here are the players who deserve a first-round grade on my board right now. (Players' overall rankings are in parentheses after their names.)

NFL draft prospects with a true Round 1 grade: Why these 13 players are first-rounders, plus comps
We'll see 32 picks in Round 1 on April 24, but which prospects are actually graded as first-rounders? We named 13 and made pro comps for each standout.

Not a good draft to trade your high pick for a bunch of shitty onesMatt Miller of ESPN says there are 14 players in this draft he’s awarded 1st round grades. His list includes zero QBs.

I mean did anyone actually expect him to run? What does he have to gain?

I've been thinking maybe this is a draft to trade up in? Could we get back into the 1st for a 4th and Catolinas 2nd? I'd feel pretty good coming away with Pearce/Green and Grant. Or would we have to give up our 3rd to make that happen?

Would def take more than 39 and a 4th and the bears don’t even have a 4th this year anyways.
39 and a 3rd could get them to the 23-27 range. If green or Pearce were still there I would make that trade in a heartbeat. Then I’d trade back from 41 to the 50-55 range and pickup a 4th rounder

Would it be crazy for CHI to just select Pearce at 10?

I think this is my new take. He’s got the pedigree (not just a one year wonder) and production.

These players are starting to put a nail in the coffin to all of these non football relevant drills.
Jeanty didn't run and Skattebo won't either.

Skattebo absolutely should run. But he can’t so he won’t
