In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter, presented by Bud Light:

In Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god of thunder and lightning.

In the Fantasy Life universe, Thor is a Big Board-wielding god of NFL prospecting.

Next week, 257 players will get drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft.

And in response, our Thor said, "Hold my Bud Light ... because I have a 500-player big board for the masses."

That's right. That isn't a typo. Today, we are proud to share the 2025 version of the Thor 500—a comprehensive guide for the entire draft. From Thor's surprising No. 1 overall player (it ain't Cam Ward) to Mr. Irrelevant (the next Brock Purdy?).

Thor's Big Board features 500 player comps for each ranked player, making it the perfect companion piece to watching the NFL Draft weekend. It will also become your go-to resource for the UDFA free-for-all after the final pick comes off the board.

I've said enough, though. You need all the time you can get to digest this monstrosity.

We'll see you on the other side ...

The Thor 500 Is Here

OK, so … where do I start?

When presented with 500 (!!) players, it may feel impossible to get through them all before the draft. But when there’s a will, there’s a way. You got this. WE got this.

Let’s start by looking at the top of the board. These are the guys we’ve been talking about for months.

Rounding Out The Top 257

OK, so we’ve gotten through the top 25. Like we said, we’ve been talking about those guys for months. Let’s now focus on the guys we haven’t been talking about.

There are 257 picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Will players No. 1 through No. 257 in Thor’s top 500 get drafted? In a perfect world, yes. Thor (and we) would love that. But we’ve seen how chaotic the NFL draft can get.

Numbers 233 through 257 in the Thor 500 could be players we could see drafted in Rounds 6 or 7, and I think we can all name one notable (read: future Hall-of-Fame) player drafted in Round 6.
