Best comps of 2025 draft class: We asked 14 experts for perfect matches on top prospects

Every year around this time, it’s normal to hear of NFL draft prospects being compared to past and present stars. These comps are helpful because they can give a sense (for better or worse) of how players project to the next level, and we get an idea of a player’s style of play.

We asked 14 draft analysts and experts — Aaron Schatz, Adam Rittenberg, Ben Solak, Bill Connelly, Dan Orlovsky, Field Yates, Jeff Legwold, Jordan Reid, Matt Bowen, Matt Miller, Mel Kiper Jr., Mike Tannenbaum, Steve Muench and Turron Davenport — to join in on the discussion and pick their favorite prospect-to-player comparison for the 2025 class. Their comps were made based on style of play, physical measurements, production and versatility — or some combination of all those traits.

So who does North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton remind us of? Who are good matches for star defenders such as Michigan’s Mason Graham and East Carolina’s Shavon Revel Jr.?

Let’s get into our favorite prospect-to-pro comps for this year’s draft class.
