With all the parity in the 2025 NFL Draft class, the way the first round shakes out is going to be interesting.
There are many possibilities as far as where each player will end up being taken, especially when it comes to the top quarterbacks and running backs.
Analyst Benjamin Allbright recently gave his prediction on how many running backs and quarterbacks will be selected in the first round.
“I think it’s 3 RBs, 3 QBs,” Allbright, of KOA Colorado, wrote on X. “If you made me pick one over the other might guess quarterback, just for a team who was gonna take somebody in the second (round) trying to get that fifth [year contract] option at the end of the first (round).”

Cam Ward from the University of Miami and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado are the quarterbacks who almost certainly will be selected in the first round, and in the next tier there are intriguing prospects such as Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe.
Ashton Jeanty, the prolific running back from Boise State, is expected by many to be one of the first 10 players chosen, but there are a couple of other prospects who have star potential.
TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State has speed, good hands and the ability and willingness to block for his teammates, and he logged 1,016 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns last season.
Cam Skattebo ran for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns for Arizona State, adding 605 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and Quinshon Judkins combined with Henderson to give Ohio State an excellent duo.
The resurgence of running back play in the NFL in 2024 could lead teams to load up on the position in this draft.
