NFL Mock Draft Consensus 10.0: Another RB joins Ashton Jeanty in first round
By Joe Lago
Past Mock Draft Consensus:
9.0 | 8.0 | 7.0 | 6.0 | 5.0 | 4.0 | 3.0 | 2.0 | 1.0
Here at NFL Mock Draft Consensus Central, we weren't planning to scan the latest first-round projections with the Scouting Combine starting next week in Indianapolis. Post-Senior Bowl opinions figured to hold until prospects take the biggest step in the draft process in their combine interviews and workouts.

The mock draft community, however, never rests. And surprisingly, a new development emerged after canvassing the most recent forecasts of the first 32 picks.
Ashton Jeanty isn't the only running back being given first-round value.
While the Heisman Trophy runner-up from Boise State remains the overwhelming consensus selection for the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12, other talented backs in the 2025 class are being viewed as impact players who can be the instant cure for ailing running games.
North Carolina's Omarion Hampton, Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson and Virginia Tech's Bhayshul Tuten all appeared in the latest mock drafts as exciting and sensible options for RB-needy teams. Only one of them joined Jeanty as projected first-round picks, though.
Another noteworthy Mock Draft Consensus development: Travis Hunter's murky top-three standing cleared up as more reshuffling took place with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter and Miami quarterback Cam Ward.
