Every draft class has a different flavor, and according to one draft analyst, the top of the 2025 class might leave a bitter taste. ESPN’s Matt Miller released his annual list of players with first-round grades. While there will be 32 players selected in the first round, Miller has just 14 with true first-round grades.

The same list a year ago had 18 players, with a few of those coming at the quarterback position. Notably, there are zero first-round quarterbacks on Miller’s list. That is tough for teams at the top of the draft that will likely reach for Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, and even tougher for teams that may reach for Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, or Jalen Milroe.
