Colorado two-way phenom Travis Hunter is ranked as the No. 1 overall player in the draft class. B/R's NFL Scouting Department also ranks him at the top of its latest draft big board.

It's not yet clear whether Hunter will be a full-time wide receiver or cornerback at the professional level, but Kiper projects him as a wideout. However, if he sticks to cornerback, he would be the top player at that position as well.

While the quarterback position usually dominates the draft, Kiper has Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward as the No. 4 and No. 5 overall players, respectively, in this year's class.

The first round of the 2025 NFL draft will commence on April 24. The Tennessee Titans own the No. 1 pick, giving them the chance to add a franchise cornerstone from the class of talented future stars.
