2025 Big Board(s)

Thought I’d drop my first official big board of this draft cycle. No games have been played yet, so take this with a grain of salt… I guess it’s sort of my 1.1 if you would, as there was one sort of put together on another post a while back.

Remember this is a big board and not a mock, so draft order is not considered. On a side note, this draft will be very good imo. Much better than the last class, but as good as it is might or might not stack up to the 2026 class. Anyways, here’s a long list of prospects to keep an eye on as the season starts and then progresses. Hope you are entertained, and of course I welcome other big boards or even mocks on the thread and no matter the size of the big board, just as long as it’s shared. It’s good to see where other big boards are at from a different perspective. If there’s anything you like or disagree with, I’m open to criticism – or debate or even someone playing devil’s advocate. Here’s my long opening list (although I’ve probably left off a few) that will likely be narrowed down a bit as the season goes on. Unlike before, I’m going to continue to use this post for this years’ big boards.
