Puka Nacua, Brock Purdy or Tom Brady, everything is not only played in the first round during the draft. Some future stars pass between the meshes of the media net and the pre-Draft process. These players meet in the second and third day of the event to delight an NFL team.
In 2025, the draft appeared with a marked depth which potentially will be able to give birth to solid forgotten players. Here is our selection, turn by turn.
2e Tour: Bradyn Swinson, Edge, LSU
Mensurations: 196 cm, 122 kg
Stats 2025: 58 tackles including 13 for loss and 8.5 sacks, 2 forced futures and 3 defended passes
In the mass of edge Presenting himself at the Draft 2025, Bradyn Swinson is one of those who pass the most under the radars. Admittedly, its athletic performances have not panicked the meters, they are more than enough for the NFL. But when you look at your game videos, you find a talented player.
Bradyn Swinson is above all a rusher pass And a good (22.1 % Rush Win Rate pass). His first step is adequate to gain speed against the slowest OTs. He especially knows how to transform this speed into power with ease. Many lines of line fell under his blows. If it is not the most agile, it is sporadically to effectively bypass its vis-à-vis. And finally, when all this arsenal is not enough, he knows how to create counters. The ex-LSU player has a very under-hosted technical facility. His palette is very complete.
But then, what is the problem with this player? Difficult to say because in the radius of satisfactions we also check its progression against the race. Bradyn Swinson is able to play on 3 Downs each series. The only negative point, difficult to identify, is its character. In 2024, he spent a half-time on the bench as a punishment …
Current value (average position of the player in mocks): 55e choice

3e Tour: Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia
Mensurations: 200 cm, 141 kg
Like many offensive line players of this 2025 cuvée, the Draft's posters wonder if Wyatt Milum will be a tackle or a guard at the professional level. As an academic, West Virginia decided to leave it on the outside of its line. It must be said that he was the best player in this squad.
The physical measurements are ideal and it is above all an immeasurable gross power which allowed him to win the majority of his duels. His technical work on the upper body is also there. His hands are very rarely misplaced and allow him to master his vis-à-vis with ease. Finally, in video, his mentality of “killer” transpires. Wyatt Milum ends the actions with envy and panache.
If you don't see it higher, it is because its faults are also obvious. Its side mobility and leg play are currently poor. It is too often made by fast and athletic players. The switch inside the line looks like a salvation door.
Current value: 88e choice
4e Tour: David Walker, Edge, Central Arkansas
Mensurations: 185 cm, 119 kg
Stats 2025: 68 tackles including 10.5 Sacks and 4 forced futures, 5 defended passes
THE edge Many of them, many to fall into the draft. If we combine this depth with a small university-level faculty and a physically sub-staunch player for the NFL, we obtain the particular profile of David Walker.
So yes David Walker is small, very small, normally too much. It's simple since the draft lists players' measurements (1987) it is one of the 6 % smallest in its post. One can also wonder if the competition faced makes it possible to really judge the quality of the player.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of good things produced by David Walker in the field. With this reduced profile, the defender is a concentrate of power, explosiveness and athletic domination against the race and the pass. He sucks all tackles At its level, in many ways. Once the rusher pass found an effective plan it applies it. Because David Walker is also a very correct technician. If his palette is not the deepest in class, he has a very good swipe And rip.
Current value: 104e choice

5e Tour: Pat Bryant, Wr, Illinois
Mensurations: 188 cm, 92 kg
Stats 2025: 54 receptions, 984 yards, 10 touchdowns
Pat Bryant has everything of a ” X recipient ». He is a player capable of being aligned with one against one side of the field and winning his duels. Finally capable, perhaps not quite yet but the potential to succeed this is present.
In Illinois, he rather showed all his versatility. Exterior, in support, from the slot and even in the block, he did everything to help his team. And the staff has understood that this player is a safe bet. This is evidenced by its 69.2 % of receptions in contested situations (9 receptions) but also its drop rate of 1.8 % (1 drop). Besides that, the player is physically built for the NFL and has a very rare explosiveness for this prototype. Finally, technically we cannot blame much either in Pat Bryant.
But then what is the recipient missing to see his coast exposed? The scouts may give a little too much importance to its 4 seconds 62 to 40 yards, measured during the pre-Draft process. A brand among the lowest 40% in its post since 1987. In the field, this “lack” of speed is not glaring, but the Americans love raw figures. THE steal Among the steals.
Current value: 144e choice
6e/7e Tour: Jabbar Muhammad, CB, Oregon
Mensurations: 175 cm, 82 kg
Stats 2025: 41 tackles including 1 for loss, 12 passes defended
Yes, Jabbar Muhammad is small and frail. Yes Jabbar Muhammad is obliged to play in the slot at the NFL level. But what nickelback Jabbar Muhammad could do!
Because the player is lively and agile in small spaces. He is also safe for tackling for his size. Last year he only missed 3.4 % of his attempts on passing situations. Jabbar Muhammad also has a big appetite to play the balloons. Very “sticky” he is in the best situations to put his hands on the swelling. In 2024 he forced 12 incompletions (19 in 2023, 1e).
Size and lack of versatility are the critical points retained by the NFL media. It is rather the long speed and the very physical recipients who really pose a problem for him. This is good his faults are erased in the slot. THE corner De Poche will delight an NFL team very quickly.
Current value: 234e choice
