Draft Stacks Top 100: The Final Pre-Draft Rankings

Two signals drive every ranking on this list.

The DS Rank is the position in the Draft Stacks talent evaluation — a number that reflects what the tape, the measurables, and the production say about a player relative to every other prospect in this class. It answers one question: how good is this player?

The Stack Price is a market prediction — where our evaluation of the market expects a player to land. It's expressed as a pick range: 1-10, 11-32, 33-50, and so on. It answers a different question: where will this player actually get drafted?

When those two signals align, you have a transparent market. When they diverge — when the DS Rank places a player in the top 10 but Stack Price says he goes in the 20s, or when a player ranked outside the top 50 carries a Stack Price of 11-32 — that gap is the information. It tells you where the market is overreacting to team need, positional scarcity, or draft room groupthink, and where genuine value is being left on the board.

Three players in this top 100 carry a Stack Price of 101-150 — meaning the market consensus doesn't even have them in the first 100 picks. DS Rank says otherwise. Those are the strongest conviction calls on this entire list. Draft night will tell us who's right.

This board was locked before April 23. These rankings reflect the evaluation as it stands going into the draft — not adjusted for what happened, not retroactive. The timestamp is the credibility.

The Top 10

#1 — Jeremiyah Love | RB | Notre Dame | Stack Price: 1-10 The most explosive skill player in this class. Contact balance, burst through the second level, and receiving ability out of the backfield — all elite. The only debate is positional value, not talent.

#2 — Sonny Styles | LB | Ohio State | Stack Price: 1-10 The most complete defender in this class. A converted safety with coverage instincts no one at his size possesses, backed by one of the most extraordinary Combine performances the linebacker position has ever seen. The ceiling is a perennial Pro Bowl linebacker.

#3 — Fernando Mendoza | QB | Indiana | Stack Price: 1-10 Ball placement is the best in the class — particularly on back-shoulder throws and anticipation passes into tight windows. The development questions around under-center mechanics are real. The talent to build a franchise around is more real.

#4 — Arvell Reese | ED | Ohio State | Stack Price: 1-10 No clean positional label. Maximum impact from any spot. Closing speed, pass rush chops, and coverage instincts that each grade as legitimate NFL weapons. One year of featured production is the only honest caveat.

#5 — David Bailey | ED | Texas Tech | Stack Price: 1-10 The most productive pass rusher in college football in 2025. His first step is as explosive as anyone in the class and his hand-fighting toolkit is advanced for a player with one big season on his résumé. The inside spin move is a cheat code on third and medium.

#6 — Caleb Downs | S | Ohio State | Stack Price: 1-10 His downhill trigger is violent, and his ability to read quarterback eyes from depth is a genuine separator. An immediate starter who makes the players around him better.

#7 — Mansoor Delane | CB | LSU | Stack Price: 1-10 The best corner in this class. Fluid hips, technically sound with the ball skills to play the position at the highest level.

#8 — Rueben Bain Jr. | ED | Miami | Stack Price: 11-32 Stack Price divergence. DS Rank says top-8 talent. Stack Price says 11-32. The market may be sleeping on Bain's motor, closing speed, and first-step quickness due to arm length concerns. This is the clearest hidden value signal in the top 10.

#9 — Carnell Tate | WR | Ohio State | Stack Price: 1-10 The best route runner in this class — crisp breaks, natural hands, ability to create separation at every level of the route tree. Stack Price has him 1-10, which aligns with the grade. The market is right on this one.

#10 — Monroe Freeling | OT | Georgia | Stack Price: 11-32 Stack Price divergence. DS Rank top-10. Stack Price 11-32. Freeling has the tools to start right away if needed due to the length and movement skills that translate immediately to pass-protection.
