Raiders.com continues its series breaking down the top 50 prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to former NFL scout and current NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah.
Here's a look at prospects 31-40:
31. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
There were a lot of expectations on Burden as a five-star prospect coming out of high school in St. Louis, Missouri. He fulfilled them while staying in-state with the Missouri Tigers, becoming one of their best receivers in program history.
The two-time All-SEC player recorded 192 receptions for 2,263 yards and 21 touchdowns in his three collegiate seasons. He was also a force to be reckoned with on special teams, averaging 10.5 yards a punt return in his career.
"For Luther Burden to choose to come here, for him to work to prove that he's the best player on the team. ... He's one of the best players, if not the best player, to ever come to the University of Missouri and for him to make that decision changed the trajectory of my career in our program," said Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri's head coach.
Burden's athleticism is heralded, clocking a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Analyst Lance Zierlein compares Burden's game to New York Jets receiver Garrett Wilson, and believes Burden has even more to offer at the next level than what he displayed at Missouri.
"Burden is a natural on the field with above-average speed and exciting ball skills to win at a high rate," Zierlein said. "He takes snaps off and short-circuits routes if he's not the primary option, but he can separate and succeed on all three levels when it's his time. Missouri exploited Burden's yards-after-catch talent with a barrage of short throws, but NFL teams are much more likely to diversify his usage, activating his complete skill set and big-play potential."
32. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
The Kentucky Wildcats cornerback has become a hot commodity throughout the draft process, as scouts and analysts evaluate his physical and instinctual traits.
Despite standing at less than 6 feet tall, he boasts nearly a 77-inch wingspan and a nearly 9-inch hand size. These measurables are intriguing added with him clocking a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash at the Combine, the fastest of any participant at the event this year. Additionally, his 39.5-inch vertical jump and his 10-foot-11 broad jump ranked in the top three of all cornerbacks at the event.
His physical traits transferred over to the field in his three seasons at Kentucky, where he totaled 10 pass deflections, three forced fumbles and six interceptions – three of those interceptions he returned for touchdowns.
"Hairston is a lean, athletic cornerback with ideal play speed and fluidity," Daniel Jeremiah wrote. "In press coverage, he incorporates a one-hand jam before turning and carrying vertical routes. He has plenty of burst/speed. ... Overall, Hairston offers an enticing blend of movement skills and production."
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Hairston is set to meet with the Las Vegas Raiders for a Top 30 visit.
33. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Henderson is as complete of a running back as you'll find in this year's draft class.
His ability to properly read holes has allowed him to average 6.4 yards a carry throughout his college career. His pass-catching and route-running abilities led to him catching 77 passes for 853 receiving yards with the Buckeyes. With his getaway speed, showcased with his 4.43 time in the 40-yard dash, he recorded 32 explosive runs over 10 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. He doesn't slack off in pass blocking either, receiving above a 70 pass blocking grade from PFF in 2021 and 2023. And lastly, he takes care of the football as he did not record a single fumble lost in his four years at Ohio State.
"Henderson is a muscled-up runner with elite speed and versatility," Jeremiah said. "He is patient to the hole before exploding through with high knees. He has long speed to destroy pursuit angles once he gets into the open field. ... Overall, Henderson is a three-down weapon, brimming with big-play potential."
It's also worth noting that Henderson's offensive coordinator in 2024 was Chip Kelly, now with the Raiders. In Kelly's offensive scheme, the running back rushed for 10 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards.
34. Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi
Nolen was the No. 1 rated prospect in the nation coming out of high school before committing to Texas A&M. While he had two productive seasons with the Aggies, he didn't explode onto the scene until he transferred to Ole Miss.
In his one season with the Rebels, he was tied for the team lead in tackles for loss with 14. Additionally, he compiled 6.5 sacks and three pass deflections. His 91.6 run defense grade from Pro Football Focus was the second highest of any interior defensive lineman in the nation. He was named First-Team All-SEC and became the 14th player in school history to be named a consensus All-American.
"Nolen is a very good athlete whose explosion, balance and bend stand out," said Nate Tice, staff writer for Yahoo Sports. "He consistently keeps his feet while working through and shedding blocks, and is a true weapon on defensive line twists and games. ... Nolen still is an intriguing combination of athleticism and size that's hard to find, and could be a fun project for a team with a strong defensive line coach to maximize his bundle of tools."
35. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Josh Simmons' draft stock could take a hit due to him recovering from a season-ending knee injury suffered in the middle of last season. Nevertheless, the offensive tackle is expected to be ready to play by the start of the 2025 season.
Before his injury, Simmons proved to be one of the best offensive linemen in the nation – taking his talents from San Diego State to the Buckeyes ahead of his junior season. He started 19 straight games for the Buckeyes before being sidelined, only allowing one sack in that span.
"Simmons is a gifted left tackle prospect," Jeremiah said. "He was having an outstanding 2024 campaign before suffering a season-ending knee injury in October. He has excellent size, movement skills and balance. In the passing game, he has a smooth/fluid set. He can easily redirect and plays with a wide/firm base. He uses a sharp punch before steering and controlling defenders."
36. Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State
If TreVeyon Henderson was the lightning of Ohio State's backfield, Quinshon Judkins was certainly the thunder.
After rushing for over 3,000 yards and 51 touchdowns in his last two seasons of his prep career in Alabama, he committed to the University of Mississippi. He made an immediate impact for the Rebels, leading the SEC in carries (274), rushing yards (1,567) and rushing touchdowns (16). He followed up his SEC Freshman of the Year campaign with another 1,158 rushing yards in 2023 while leading the conference again in rushing touchdowns (15).
He transferred to Ohio State heading into his junior season and turned in his third consecutive season reaching the 1,000 rushing yards threshold and double-digit touchdowns. In the 2024 CFB National Championship Game, he averaged 9.1 yards per carry with two rushing touchdowns in a 34-23 victory over Notre Dame. He followed up his season with the best broad jump of any running back at the 2025 NFL Combine and clocking a 4.48 40-yard dash at the event.
And like Henderson, he also has experience in Raiders offensive coordinator's Chip Kelly's system.
"Great guy, uses me all [over] the field," Judkins said about Kelly at the NFL Combine. "Having a guy like that in your locker room and in your corner as a coach with that ability to give you so many different opportunities and so many ways to give you the ball, it's amazing to see. So, just to watch him draw things up throughout the year, it was great."
37. Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Taylor has big shoes to fill coming into the league, as his father Jason Taylor is a Pro Football Hall of Famer and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
While Mason inherited his father's size at 6-foot-5, 251 pounds, he's made a name for himself on the offensive side of the ball. He racked up over 10 yards a reception throughout his collegiate career, finishing with 1,308 yards and six touchdown grabs. Last season, he set LSU's record for most receptions in a single season by a tight end with 55.
"With just three seasons under Taylor's belt, more growth is expected in both his game and frame," Zierlein said. "He's a smooth athlete with adequate acceleration and the tools to become a more effective route runner in time. He feels defenders around him and catches with sudden hands and elevated focus when needed."
38. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Conerly has been a steady force on the Ducks offensive line, playing 41 games in three seasons.
He started 14 games his junior season as he helped lead Oregon to its first Big Ten Championship in school history. In over 900 snaps of action at left tackle, he only surrendered one sack in 2024. For his efforts, he earned All-Big Ten First-Team honors and was named a Third-Team All-America selection by the Associated Press. He had the fastest 10-yard split of any offensive lineman at the Combine (1.71 seconds).
"He moves easily in space and gets to his angles to help spring the run," Zierlein said. "Conerly sets with smooth slides and ready hands but gets caught over-setting. He has anchor troubles against power that might be challenging to correct. He sees twists and blitzes developing and recovers with athleticism when beaten. Conerly is young and needs more development, but he should become a good starter at tackle or guard."
39. Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
Jackson has four years of impressive tape, appearing in 51 games for the Buckeyes.
While he primarily played left guard in college, he has also lined up at both tackle spots, showcasing versatility while filling in for an injured Josh Simmons. He surrendered just five sacks in his 1,334 career pass blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.
"In the pass game, he sets with a firm anchor, bends his knees and stays attached," Jeremiah wrote. "He can slide and redirect smoothly. He is keenly aware on twists and stunts. In the run game, he creates movement on down blocks. He has the quickness and athleticism to kick out defenders on outside pulls. He has enough foot speed to reach and seal on the back side."
40. Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi
Dart is the third-ranked quarterback in Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50 list, but possibly has the most intrigue of any QBs in this class.
He took over the reins as the Ole Miss starting quarterback after transferring from USC. As he led the Rebels to 10 wins in 2024, he led the SEC in completion percentage (69.3) and passing yards (4,279) while also leading the nation in yards per pass attempt (10.8). Additionally, he had the highest PFF passing grade of any college quarterback with 30 Big Time Throws.
"He cares about this team. He cares about this university, and that doesn't happen much in college football anymore," Ole Miss Head Coach Lane Kiffin said following the team's 2024 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State. "This guy's special. I hope people appreciate that."
Dart was reportedly invited to a Top 30 visit with the Raiders, and notably, has ties with center Jackson Powers-Johnson. The Raiders center was high school teammates with the quarterback at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah.
