The 2025 NFL Draft is less than six months away, but it's never too early to become informed on the top players in the upcoming draft class.
Our team of NFL Draft contributors at A to Z Sports decided to rank our top 5 prospects at every position collectively.
We each ranked our top five, then tallied the point totals similar to what you have likely seen with the AP Poll in college football to create our top wide receivers expected to hear their names called in the 2025 NFL Draft.
1. Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona
Highest Ranking: 1
Lowest Ranking: 3
Arizona's Tetairoa McMillian ranked as our top WR in the 2025 draft class. He earned five first-place votes of a possible eight, two second-place votes, and one-third, which landed him 12 points higher than second place in our rankings.
During McMillan's first two seasons at Arizona, he appeared in 25 games, recording 129 catches, 2,104 yards, and 18 touchdowns. So far, through the first eight games of 2024, he has 982 yards, 57 catches, and five touchdowns. That type of production, with his measurables at 6'5", is going to lead to him being atop multiple NFL teams' boards come April.
2. Luther Burden, WR Missouri
Highest Ranking: 1
Lowest Ranking: 5
Luther Burden ended 12 points behind McMillan in our rankings and landed second in our top five. He earned one first-place vote and four second. His lowest ranking came with one analyst listing him as their fifth WR in the 2025 class. Burden has seen a slight dip in production this season, with him only having 450 yards and four touchdowns through eight games after ending last season with 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns.
3. Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State
Highest Ranking: 2
Lowest Ranking: 5
Emeka Egbuka comes in as our third-highest ranked WR in the 2025 NFL Draft class. He received three second-place votes and two thirds. His lowest ranking came in at fifth, where two of our analysts ranked him. Egbuka is currently playing out his senior season at Ohio State and has already surpassed his totals for last season in three fewer games with 546 yards, 43 catches, and six touchdowns. His career highs were all set during his sophomore year, when he turned 74 catches into 1,151 yards and ten touchdowns.
4. Travis Hunter, WR Colorado
Highest Ranking: 1
Lowest Ranking: 5
Travis Hunter, the two-positioned phenom out of Colorado, lands fourth on our WR rankings for the 2025 draft class. His highest ranking came from one of our analysts listing him as their top WR in the class, and his lowest ranking came from two analysts ranking him fifth.
After starting his college career at Jackson State, he transferred to Colorado for the 2023 season. He appeared in nine games as a sophomore and recorded 57 catches, 721 yards, and five touchdowns. He has already surpassed each of those total this season in only eight games with 60 catches, 757 yards, and eight touchdowns. While he comes in at four on our WR rankings, you'll have to wait and see where our analysts ranked him among the top corners in the upcoming class.
5. Isaiah Bond, WR Texas
Highest Ranking: 1
Lowest Ranking: 6
Last but not least, our fifth-ranked WR in the 2025 NFL Draft class is Isaiah Bond out of Texas. While he comes in at fifth, his highest ranking came from one of our analysts, who ranked him first. He also earned two third-place rankings.
Bond began his college career at Alabama, where he spent his first two seasons. There, he appeared in 27 games and recorded 65 catches, 888 yards, and five touchdowns. He made the decision to transfer to Texas ahead of this season. Through the team's first seven games, he has recorded 23 catches and 380 yards and tied his career high with four touchdowns.
