Fantasy Football: RB DJ Giddens’ 2025 NFL Draft player profile

DJ Giddens was a winner at the NFL Combine: Giddens had a strong 40-yard dash time but also performed well at several other tests compared to other running backs. Ball security in the passing game became a problem: Giddens had too many fumbles and dropped passes as a receiver in 2024, which could make it harder for Giddens to be a three-down back. 2025 NFL Draft season is here: Try PFF's best-in-class Mock Draft Simulator and learn about 2025's top prospects while trading and drafting for your favorite NFL team.

NFL Draft Trends: How explosive play rate influences defensive back picks

Big plays allowed lead to early draft investments in the secondary: Since 2014, 87% of teams that allowed explosive pass plays at a 16.0% rate or higher missed the playoffs, and 64% of those teams addressed their secondary with a defensive back in Rounds 1–3 the following spring. Bad pass defenses almost always trigger early DB picks: From 2019 to 2023, 71% of teams that struggled to contain big pass plays used a top-three-round pick on a cornerback or safety the next year, with 19 of those selections coming in the first two rounds. Explosive pass plays have derailed defenses — and playoff hopes — across the NFL in recent years. Since 2014, teams that allowed explosive pass plays — defined as completions of 15 or more yards — at a rate of 16.0% or higher have missed the playoffs […]

Estimated reading time: 9 minutes Click here for more draft tools: NFL Draft Big Board | Mock Draft Simulator | NCAA Premium Stats2025 PFF Draft Guide | Mock Draft Hub | Prospect Data ProfilesDraft Position Rankings Earlier this week, we focused on edge defenders against true pass sets, but his time around, we’ll be looking at their opponents, the best pass-blocking offensive tackles on true pass sets. Remember that true pass sets are pass-blocking plays that exclude plays with less than four rushers, play action, screens, short dropbacks and throws that are released in under two seconds. True pass sets give us the best idea of how good a pass blocker is when the offense isn’t relying on anything gimmicky. For this list, we will just be focusing on the players featured on the PFF big board. If Wyatt Milum had longer arms, he would be talked about as […]

2025 NFL Draft: 5 prospects who peaked prior to 2024

Injuries limited Will Johnson this past season: The Michigan cornerback, largely considered a top-two player at his position in the 2025 NFL Draft, still graded well throughout his college career. Shemar Turner was at his best in 2023: He set career highs in PFF overall grade (76.6), PFF pass-rushing grade (80.7) and PFF run-defense grade (68.9) before struggling to generate pressure in 2024.

Fantasy Football: TE Harold Fannin Jr.’s 2025 NFL Draft player profile

Harold Fannin Jr. put up unheard-of numbers: Fannin averaged 3.77 yards per route run with nearly three avoided tackles per game last season with Bowling Green.

2025 NFL Draft: Highest-graded defensive linemen in every key category

Josaiah Stewart’s production speaks for itself: Despite not being a first-round projection, the Michigan standout captured the class' highest marks in true PFF pass-rush grade (93.7) and overall pass-rush win rate (27.7%). David Walker will be a Day 3 gem: Walker dominated his FCS competition, notching the highest marks in the class in three of PFF’s 11 key grading metrics: No-play-action PFF pass-rush grade (93.8), late-down PFF pass-rush grade (92.4) and PFF run-defense grade by an edge defender (92.6).

2025 NFL Draft Value Plays: Comparable talent, better investment after Round 1

Estimated reading time: 11 minutes Part of drafting the best players is understanding value. Sometimes that involves taking advantage of depth at a position, which involves knowing when the safer prospect is the right prospect. First-round players tend to get selected where they do because of positional need and priority, as well as perceived upside.  In a draft like this year’s, however, we have far fewer players that fit the mold of having “too much upside” to pass up. It is likely to be repeated ad nauseam on every broadcast watched next week, but little separates prospect No. 10 from prospect No. 100 in this class, in particular at the deeper positions like running back, edge defender and interior defenders.  With this in mind, teams need to be able to construct a draft weekend plan that allows them to get […]

2025 NFL Draft: Top X-factor prospects

Luther Burden III’s versatility should not fly under the radar: He logged more than 1,100 career snaps in the slot, more than 600 out wide, 40 in the backfield as a running back and even 18 as an inline tight end. Bhayshul Tuten’s speed makes him the prototypical X-factor: His 10-yard split (1.49), 40-yard dash (4.32), vertical jump (40.5) and broad jump (10-foot-8) at the NFL Scouting Combine all placed in the 95th percentile or better for the running back position.
