Mel Kiper Jr. Releases Latest Big Board Ahead of Super Bowl LIX
As Super Bowl LIX approaches, featuring the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Mel Kiper Jr., a respected figure in NFL draft analysis, has shared his updated big board for the 2025 NFL Draft. This latest release includes top 10 rankings across various positions, providing insights into the upcoming talent pool.
Leading the rankings is Colorado's versatile athlete, Travis Hunter, who stands out as the No. 1 overall player in the draft class. While Hunter is currently ranked as a wide receiver, projections indicate he could also excel as a cornerback at the professional level. Kiper suggests that, should Hunter commit to playing as a wideout, he could thrive, although his potential as a top player in the cornerback category remains undisputed.
The quarterback position often garners significant attention in drafts. In this instance, Kiper has ranked Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as the No. 4 overall player and Miami's Cam Ward as No. 5. With the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft scheduled for April 24, the Tennessee Titans will have the opportunity to select first, positioning them to secure a franchise cornerstone from this promising class.
