Now that the PFN Scouting team has gone through each position group on the podcast, it's time to do a little bit of drafting ourselves! On the latest episode of the PFN Scouting Podcast, Ian Cummings and Derek Tate draft their own squads from the 2025 NFL Draft player pool on the offensive side of the ball. Who came away with the strongest roster?

There might not be a tight end prospect at Brock Bowers' caliber in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but the upcoming group still has a lot to offer. How do TE talents like Colston Loveland, Luke Lachey, Tyler Warren, Oronde Gadsden II, and Bryson Nesbit stack up? On the latest episode of the PFN Scouting Podcast, Ian Cummings and Derek Tate give their preliminary top-five rankings, and discuss other potential challengers.

The 2024 NFL Draft offensive line class was revered for its top-end talent -- including first-round picks like Joe Alt, JC Latham, Olu Fashanu, Taliese Fuaga, Troy Fautanu, Amarius Mims, and Graham Barton. The 2025 NFL Draft class might not match that output, but there are still prospects to know. How do players like Emery Jones Jr., Jonah Savaiinaea, Will Campbell, and others stack up early on? Ian Cummings and Derek Tate are on the case.

In the 2024 NFL Draft, the first defensive player wasn't selected until the Indianapolis Colts picked Laiatu Latu at 15th overall. In 2025, the pendulum should swing the other way, and a strong defensive class should produce multiple top-ten picks. On the latest episode of the PFN Scouting Podcast, Ian Cummings and Derek Tate go over some of the top defenders from their early viewings -- among them Will Johnson, Malaki Starks, and Mason Graham.

Upon early viewings, the 2025 NFL Draft's offensive prospect cast looks stacked. At wide receiver, players like Travis Hunter, Luther Burden III, and Tetairoa McMillan lead the pack, while at running back, Quinshon Judkins, Ollie Gordon II, TreVeyon Henderson, and others headline a tense RB1 race. On the latest episode of the PFN Scouting Podcast, Ian Cummings and Derek Tate give their soft offensive preview for the 2025 NFL Draft.
