NFL Draft Risers & Fallers: Jaxson Dart, Kenneth Grant, Jalen Milroe

The 2025 NFL Draft is less than 70 days away. Much will change between now and draft day, including at the end of the month with the NFL Combine.

Which draft prospects are seeing their stock rise, and which are falling? Let’s examine risers and fallers as we head into the biggest pre-draft event of the offseason next week.

2025 NFL Draft Risers & Fallers

Draft Risers

Jaxson Dart (QB – Ole Miss)

Everyone has heard by now how this year’s quarterback class can’t hold a candle to last year’s unit. However, Dart had an outstanding week at the Senior Bowl. Many scouts believe he helped his stock more than any other offensive player. Reportedly, some teams have the former Ole Miss star as the No. 2 quarterback in the draft class. After starting the pre-draft process as an unlikely first-round pick, Dart is all but a lock to get drafted on Day 1, potentially going as early as the top 10.

Draft Fallers

Jalen Milroe (QB – Alabama)

Some thought Milroe could push his way into the top 10 picks with a strong performance at the Senior Bowl. While his rushing abilities were on full display, the former Alabama star struggled with accuracy during practice. Meanwhile, Jaxon Dart shined in Mobile. Reportedly, the former Ole Miss star surpassed Milroe on most team’s draft boards. While he should test well at the NFL Combine, many have concerns about how Milroe will perform as a passer. His chances of getting drafted on Day 1 seem to be over.

Kenneth Grant (DL – Michigan)

Michigan had arguably the top two interior defensive linemen in college football last year. While Mason Graham remains a top-10 lock, Grant has had little buzz since the end of the season. Meanwhile, scouts have raved about the talent and depth of the defensive line class, as Walter Nolen, Derrick Harmon, and Darius Alexander are in the mix with Grant to be the second interior defensive linemen drafted. The former Michigan star went from being the clear-cut No. 2 defensive lineman in the class to competing with three other prospects.
