Joel Klatt ranks his Top 50 Prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reveals his Top 50 prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft. Klatt breaks down which player ended up #1 on his list as players like Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter vie for the top spot. He considers whether Quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders should both be ranked in the Top 10 while also examining how close the 3rd best QB is to them. Klatt believes the two premier Tight Ends in the Class (Penn State's Tyler Warren and Michigan's Colston Loveland) are 2 of the best players in the entire Draft which is reflected in his ranking. Ohio State lands 6 players inside his Top 50 but are any above the 4 Michigan players also in the list? Sponsored by Hampton by Hilton.

Joel Klatt ranks his Top 50 Prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft

[carltonberry]

Joel, i just want to say you are among the honest of all the football analysts in the media. You can admit toyour biaes and weaknesses which makes your reporting so much more valuable - thank you.

[qdahdrummer]

Saying James Pearce and Shemar Stewart have similar production profiles is an insane statement lol

[LukeXlll]

Bring back the old into! I love the line where you say It was an epic day of college football

[markbugos]

Small correction Joel at 21:20, Kelvin Banks only played one game against Georgia. He was hurt for the SEC championship. He was credited with giving up one sack in that game that wasn’t really his fault because Ewers tripped

[derek-hanson]

Thank you for giving credit to the great Iowa State receivers! When you talk about production, those two guys, Higgins and Noel, were massive producers and clutch players.

[alexanderschooler]

Shedeur over Ward cant be Klatts bias right?

[halilsrealfootballtalk]

Joel, I appreciate your candor about maybe being “regionally biased”. Personally, I believe it‘s less that than the way you‘ve evaluated units as a whole, focusing on schematic details rather than identifying individual qualities and how they‘ll translate to the next level, at least when it comes to positions that you don‘t see handle the ball directly.

The biggest name that jumps out to me in that sense is Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer. He‘s my EDGE18 currently and I‘ve watched about 35. The lack of length, ankle mobililty/bend, quicks and ability to convert speed-to-power makes it really tough for me to see him win as a pass-rusher against NFL tackles with any consistency.

Very happy to talk about this further, since I very much appreciate a different perspective from someone as dialed in on the college level!

[thomasmack]

Joel, I'm a Buff Alum (86) and while I love you having Shedeur in your top 10, I'm hearing many other draftniks saying he could fall to the 2nd round, many negatives mentioned. How do you respond to the other ratings of him?😊

[CookDaddy]

Gotta love the difference of opinion & he's intune with the college football season !!!

[britiannolan]

Why isn’t he the face of this network..he’s the only person with logic and integrity

[aarontribula]

Anti warren propaganda (just kidding I love your analysis) but Warren will instantly become a top 10 NFL tight end the moment he enters the league as a rookie

[bentidy]

JK is an intelligent football guy who is also good on a microphone and in front of a camera. Without being hyperbolic. That's actually pretty rare. I'm from UK and only got into NFL about 5 years ago. Klatt is making me pay more attention to College and more knowledgeable in general. Would love to have a breakdown of the top teams- historic strengths and weaknesses. For instance it makes little sense to me why the top teams often don't have the best QBs. Which colleges produce good tight ends? Aside from Georgia who produce good front sevens? Ohio seems to produce great WRs.

[holdenrayl]

Warren vs Loveland has a real chance to become the new Kittle vs Kelce. Same play styles for both guys as well. And as we’ve seen Kelce had a higher peak but Kittle is aging much better

[batman]

You're my favorite person when it comes to football intel

[ScottVansel]

I noticed how Joel stayed away Feom Joy Taylors name 😆 🤣

[scottwhitehead]

Thanks for sharing your insights, Joel. What are your thoughts on Bowling Green TE Harrold Fannin Jr? I know he did not play against top-level competition, but if you ever watched this dude play, he has incredible hands, he's a big target, has decent speed, and seems to have a great motor. I'm surprised he was not in your top 50.

[LukeXlll]

Joel, I would love to see a mock draft from you that includes rounds 2 and 3. Your expertise would make it super interesting

[King_Fatty]

I thought Loveland would have been in the 30s. Very surprised on your take but he is a great player.

[ThomasSt-xr]

Did you just say no one has heard of Zabel???? He had one of the best combine performances for his position. Hes literally on most peoples 1st round mocks...

[thebasement]

Um that’s not why Mike Green is at Marshall….
