The Senior Bowl is absolutely stacked with incredible NFL Draft talent every single season. It's the premier all star game, and the 2025 rosters did not disappoint. But who are the best players overall? Which ones would create the best NFL roster(s)?

Our team at A to Z Sports who are covering the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama this week decided to draft our own ultimate rosters of the best players participating this week to see who could create the most impressive team. Thanks to the insane amount of Top 100 2025 NFL Draft prospects here we were all able to create wildly talented groups.

Let's dive in and see which one of our NFL Draft analysts drafted the best team and learn a little bit about the best players at the Senior Bowl while we're at it. [Editor's Note: Some players were announced as non-participants Monday evening]

Round 1

1. Jaxson Dart, QB Ole Miss – There's no player at this year's Senior Bowl that has a bigger opportunity in front of them than Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart. A strong week and he could start to separate himself as the QB3 in this class, and with so many teams needing a QB that could lead to being selected in the first round of the upcoming draft. – Destin Adams

2. Nic Scourton, EDGE Texas A&M – Scourton is arguably the best football player in Mobile this week. He’s a very talented rusher with a deep bag of tools and fantastic motor. He’s also versatile enough as an athlete to play multiple positions. – Easton Freeze

3. Jalen Milroe, QB Alabama – What better way to start a fantasy draft than with the best pure athlete at the Senior Bowl. Milroe may be unpolished, but his potential is sky high. – Rob Gregson

4. Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M – Stewart’s lack of college production as a pass rusher is noticeable, but his prototypical build and explosive athletic traits will still probably make him a first rounder. – Sam Phalen

5. Walter Nolen, DT Ole Miss – When it's all said and done Walter Nolen may be a Top 5 talent in the entire 2025 NFL Draft class. He's a versatile defensive tackle who can win with strength, leverage, agility, and burst. – Travis May

6. Mike Green, EDGE Marshall – Green is an incredibly explosive pass rusher who bends the arc well. I'll take that any day in the middle of round one. – Tyler Forness

Round 2

7. Aireontae Ersery, OT Minnesota – Whatever you need Ersery to do, he can do it, including standout at left tackle. – Tyler Forness

8. Princely Umanmielen, EDGE Ole Miss – Princely Umanmielen has racked up 100 pressures and nearly 20 sacks in the last two seasons alone and is finally gaining recognition for his elite pass rush skill set. – Travis May

9. Josh Conerly Jr., OT Oregon – Josh Conerly Jr. is a two-year starter for the Oregon Ducks at left tackle with good athletic ability and recovery skills. He’s the OT4 on the consensus big board with upside to go in the 15-20 range. – Sam Phalen

10. Maxwell Hairston, CB Kentucky – Hairston is one of the names at this year's Senior Bowl generating a lot of first round buzz. Can never go wrong drafting cornerstone defenders. – Rob Gregson

11. Azareye'h Thomas, CB Florida State – Thomas is a physical son of a gun on the outside who thrives in press man coverage. He’s got good length and ball skills that will translate well to the next level. – Easton Freeze

12. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE Boston College – Boston College’s Donovan Ezeiruaku is someone I'm super excited to watch in Mobile. He was beyond dominant this season and should shine during one-on-one reps. – Destin Adams

Round 3

13. Carson Schwesinger, LB UCLA – Carson Schwesinger is someone I think isn't talked about enough. I've already been told some teams view him as the best off-ball LB in this class, and he could rise up a lot of teams boards with a strong week in Mobile. – Destin Adams

14. Jonah Savaiinaea, OT Arizona – Savaiinaea is somebody many are calling a guard, but I’m going to pound the table for him to play OT in the NFL. He’s got the anchor and foot speed to hang on the outside, and his length clears the benchmark most teams abide by for tackles. – Easton Freeze

15. Landon Jackson, EDGE Arkansas – Jackson won the weigh ins to kick off Senior Bowl week. Measuring in at over 6 foot 7 and 280 pounds, packing that much athleticism into his frame should intrigue a lot of teams. – Rob Gregson

16. Trey Amos, CB Ole Miss – One of the more experienced players in the entire draft class. Amos played 61 college games at Louisiana, Alabama, and most recently Ole Miss. While he projects as a mid-round pick, I think he could develop into a versatile NFL starter. – Sam Phalen

17. Harold Fannin Jr., TE Bowling Green – Harold Fannin Jr. set the single-season record for receiving yards this past season as the most dominant receiving weapon in all of college football. – Travis May

18. Deone Walker, DT Kentucky – Walker is a mammoth of a man who has plus athleticism. His pad level is way too high, but the size and athleticism combination is excellent. – Tyler Forness

Round 4

19. Elic Ayomanor, WR Stanford – If you need an X-receiver, Ayomanor is your guy. He's the only receiver who dominated Travis Hunter in college. – Tyler Forness

20. Wyatt Milum, OT West Virginia – According to multiple charting services it's been years since Wyatt Milum has allowed a sack and he can plug and play from day one as a quality starting offensive tackle. – Travis May

21. T.J. Sanders, DT South Carolina – Sanders is a 3-tech defensive tackle and a legitimate run-stopper. His NFL ceiling could be limited, but he’ll be a Day 1 contributor that probably gets drafted on Day 2. – Sam Phalen

22. Xavier Restrepo, WR Miami (FL) – In a lackluster crop of pass catchers not only in Mobile but in the entire class, Restrepo's proven production makes him a must grab in this setting. – Rob Gregson

23. Gunnar Helm, TE Texas – Helm is the kind of TE who can plug-and-play in an NFL offense as a receiving option. At 6’5 250lbs, he’s got a well-proportioned frame to be a “do-it-all” player with his above-average athleticism. – Easton Freeze

24. Cameron Skattebo, RB Arizona State – Cam Skattebo is probably the biggest name at the RB position attending the Senior Bowl this season. He was nothing short of exceptional down the stretch for Arizona State. And I think he will carry that success over into the Senior Bowl. – Destin Adams

Round 5

25. Jayden Higgins, WR Iowa State – Jayden Higgins is a shifty WR who made multiple CBs look silly with his route running this past year. Mark my words: he's going to be on just about every Senior Bowl winner lists after each practice. – Destin Adams

26. Omarr Norman-Lott, DT Tennessee – Norman-Lott is a well-rounded DL out of Tennessee. His combination of size, strength, and speed make him useful in the run stop and as a rusher from the inside. – Easton Freeze

27. Emery Jones Jr., OT LSU – Jones might be the prospect his former teammate and fellow draft champion Will Campbell is, but he's more than capable of blocking up front for us. – Rob Gregson

28. Dillon Gabriel, QB Oregon – 64 games played. 155 college touchdowns. 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist. What else is there to say about Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel? He is undersized and has no elite physical traits…But man he’s fun to watch play. Someone is going to take a flyer on him. – Sam Phalen

29. Devin Neal, RB Kansas – Neal does everything well as a runner and pass catcher, shows excellent balance, and has three straight seasons with 1200+ scrimmage yards and double-digit touchdowns.

30. Riley Leonard, QB Notre Dame – The Senior Bowl quarterback group isn't very strong, so the high floor option of Leonard is the way to go. Has some Daniel Jones balance to his game and showed a lot as a passer in the National Championship Game. – Tyler Forness

Round 6

31. Quincy Riley, CB Louisville – They don't make cornerbacks much more aggressive than Riley. That type of man coverage ability doesn't grow on trees. – Tyler Forness

32. Smael Mondon Jr., LB Georgia – Monday brings with him elite athletic traits, nearly 2,000 snaps of experience in a Kirby Smart defense, and improved in pass coverage in his final season.

33. Jalen Royals, WR Utah State – I believe Jalen Royals is the most undervalued player in the 2025 draft class. He was on pace for 1,400+ yards and 90+ receptions for Utah State in 2024 before his injury. He makes people miss and is a danger after the catch, but has enough size to compete with play strength downfield. – Sam Phalen

34. Shemar Turner, DT Texas A&M – If you want size and brawn on the interior of your D-line (which this team does) Turner is your guy. – Rob Gregson

35. Demetrius Knight Jr. LB South Carolina – Knight is a three-down capable linebacker who can hang in space. He’s a strong athlete with a fast trigger. – Easton Freeze

36. Tate Ratledge, IOL Georgia – Tate Ratledge will be a plug and play starter at guard for whoever drafts him. I expect him to cement himself as a day 2 pick this week. – Destin Adams

Round 7

37. Alfred Collins, DT Texas – One of the most aggressive run stoppers in this year's class is Texas DT Alfred Collins. Sacks and attacking the QB might be sexier but players who have a legit skill against the run are simply beautiful to watch. – Destin Adams

38. LeQuint Allen, RB Syracuse – Allen manages to stand out in middle of a stacked running back class because of his versatility as a three-down back. He’s a producer in the passing game, but is also a go-to in goal line situations. – Easton Freeze

39. Ollie Gordon, RB Oklahoma State – What better way to round out a group of skill players on offense than with a stick of dynamite out of the backfield. – Rob Gregson

40. RJ Harvey, RB UCF – One of five running backs with over 1,500 rushing yards at a Power 4 school this last season. His 22 rushing touchdowns was also tied for the most of any Power 4 running back. Harvey will get overlooked for being older, but he’s one of the shiftiest backs in the draft. – Sam Phalen

41. Andrew Mukuba, S Texas – He was already extremely good prior to 2024, but then Mukuba allowed a 12.1 passer rating when targeted (much better mark than just a standard incomplete pass).

42. Trevor Etienne, RB Georgia – The explosiveness of Etienne's game is intriguing, but the lack of production after transferring to Georgia is somewhat of a concern. – Tyler Forness

Round 8

43. Cody Lindenberg, LB Minnesota – Lindenberg is a balanced linebacker that triggers downhill in the running game and can do a little bit of everything. – Tyler Forness

44. Tyler Shough, QB Texas Tech – Shough struggled to stay healthy for his entire career, but when finally healthy for a full season put up several top 15 metrics among all FBS passers in 2024. He has the tools, but can he stay healthy?

45. Jeffrey Bassa, LB Oregon – Bassa was the signal caller for Oregon’s defense for the last three seasons. That experience will help us draft stock. He has solid size and is a reliable tackler that should translate easily to the modern NFL. – Sam Phalen

46. Shemar James, LB Florida – Florida LBs are known for being versatile and physical and James is no different, finishing off a fine looking Senior Bowl roster. – Rob Gregson

47. Seth Henigan, QB Memphis – Henigan’s ceiling is set by his limited raw skillset, but he’s demonstrated an ability to be a dual-threat passer who can identify what he’s seeing downfield at an above-average level for a college passer. – Easton Freeze

48. Billy Bowman Jr., S Oklahoma – Landing a ball hawk like Billy Bowman Jr. with my last pick seems like a crime. With Xavier Watts opting out I think Bowman has a chance to be the most impressive safety out on the field this week. – Destin Adams
