2025 Week Two Prospect Watch
I wanted to start doing a watch list of games where we can see top prospects in this year's draft go head-to-head in matchups against other top prospects. Most of these will be straight-up position battles, while others will be based on playing a specific unit or two draft prospects who play the same position. I could include teams like Ohio State or Texas every week, given the level of talent they have on the field, but I will not unless it is a premier matchup.
Each entry will include the teams in the game, the time the game kicks off, and the channel to find the game on, all in the first line. The following lines will be one for each team with a list of each player to watch, their number on the field, their position, and their ranking in the 2026 Consensus Big Board as provided by the NFL Mock Draft Database, which can be found here.
