WR who burned Travis Hunter among NFL Draft prospects who could go earlier than expected

Ayomanor is a crisp route-runner who is game-tested. According to Football Insights, his career 26.9 percent contested-target rate is the second highest among wide receiver prospects.

Ayomanor had an excellent showing at the NFL Scouting Combine, posting a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and a 38.5-inch vertical jump. Per NFL Combine IQ, one of the key thresholds for wide receivers who weigh 205 pounds is a 4.6s 40-yard dash time or less, while any vertical above 38 inches is considered elite.

According to ESPN Analytics' Draft Day Predictor, Ayomanor has a roughly 85 percent chance of being available at No. 58, and his most likely landing spot is with the Seahawks in the third round (No. 82 overall). He should be off the board much sooner.

Alabama guard Tyler Booker

Booker (6-foot-5, 321 pounds) ranks outside the top 30 in big boards from ESPN (No. 36) and Pro Football Focus (No. 42) but could go as high as No. 14 to the Colts. According to NFL Draft IQ, Indianapolis has a 21 percent chance of selecting a lineman with its first-round pick. During free agency, the Colts lost interior linemen Ryan Kelly and Will Fries to the Vikings. 

Sports Info Solutions listed Booker as its No. 1-ranked guard and No. 13 overall prospect in the 2025 class and wrote that his "range, ability to play in space and awareness in pass [protection] will allow him to be a plug-and-play guard in the NFL." 

The three-year junior had a microscopic 0.5 percent blown-block rate in pass-blocking situations in 2024. The chances of Booker falling out of the first round are slim, and he could go closer to the top 10 than many expect.

North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton

Much attention deservedly goes to Boise State back Ashton Jeanty, but don't be surprised if Hampton is selected shortly after the 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist hears his name called.

Last season, Hampton (6-foot, 221 pounds) had 281 carries, 1,660 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns. Per Sports Info Solutions, he's the top receiving back in this class and a willing pass blocker with 7.7 pass-protection snaps per game in 2024.

According to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Hampton recently visited with the Bears, who have the No. 10 pick.

The Cowboys (No. 12 overall) are another potential landing spot, and it would be shocking to see him fall any lower than to No. 20 and Denver, where he could be the "Joker" player head coach Sean Payton covets.

UCLA edge Oluwafemi Oladejo

Oladejo is receiving significant attention for a player who ranks outside the top 50 on PFF (No. 60), ESPN (No. 55), SIS (No. 82), NFL.com (No. 81) and The Athletic (No. 64) big boards.

Per CBS Sports, 10 teams have had top-30 visits with the 6-foot-3, 259-pound four-year senior. Oladejo blossomed in 2024 with the Bruins, leading the team with five sacks and 32 total pressures.

According to Sumer Sports data, he's one of the top run-defending edge-rushers in the 2025 class, with his 3.2 percent tackle-for-loss rate on run plays only trailing Texas A&M edge Nic Scourton (3.7 percent). Sports Info Solutions backs that up, with Oladejo receiving a perfect 99 run defense rating in the past two seasons.

Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough

Forget Colorado's Shedeur Sanders or Mississippi's Jaxson Dart. Shough, 25, is this year's most polarizing quarterback prospect, ranking in the top 50 on big boards from ESPN (No. 38) and The Athletic's Dane Brugler (No. 50) and outside the top 100 on big boards from PFF (No. 134), Sports Info Solutions (No. 113) and NFL.com (No. 127).

There are more QB-needy teams than quarterbacks with first-round grades this draft. A team likely will reach for a QB well before it should, but that's the nature of the beast. Shough could be the beneficiary of a team's desperation.
