Nate Tice· Feb 28, 2025

Tice gave draft projections for the tight end, receiver, offensive line and running back classes: Colston Loveland in the 18-24 range, Tyler Warren around top 15, Will Campbell as his top offensive lineman, Luther Burden as a late first/early second, Xavier Restrepo as a third-rounder, Emeka Egbuka as an NFL No. 2 receiver, and Devin Neal as a Round 2 back.

“That being top ten might be a little rich, I might say more as top fifteen, but still that's splitting hairs because he is that kind of talent.”
