The 2024 NFL draft is in the books, and even though it’s a long ways off, the 2025 NFL draft is suddenly creeping on the horizon. That means draft analysts will begin shifting their attention to the new crop of collegiate talent through the year and ultimately fill a new big board of the best available talent for NFL teams next year. Offense stole the show in 2024 with three quarterbacks going at the top of the board and the first 14 picks being all offensive players. A defensive player wasn’t taken until the Indianapolis Colts stepped up and took UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu at No. 15 overall.
