The best college football prospects to watch in Week 11 matchups

As we head into Week 11 of the college football season and Week 10 of the NFL season, the New York Giants 2025 NFL Draft needs are becoming more and more apparent.

With some big college games on the schedule, we found five draft prospects at various positions that the Giants may want to monitor this weekend.

The Giants offensive line needs a talent upgrade. Andrew Thomas, their left tackle, has suffered serious foot and ankle injuries in back-to-back seasons.

Quarterback Daniel Jones was pressured on 37 percent of dropbacks, with 127 total pressures and 27 sacks. This is not sustainable or suitable for any quarterback to succeed.

Will Campbell will face a tough Alabama defensive front this weekend. He has the strength at the point of attack in the run game and the hands to stop pass rush attempts once he latches onto his defender.

Campbell can play multiple positions on the offensive line, and that will be enticing to the Giants if they aren’t in range for a top QB prospect.

Greg Van Roten’s contract expires at the end of the season, and while he could be on a cap-friendly deal again next year, we doubt he’ll be a starter.

Adding a talented and physical interior offensive lineman will help whoever plays quarterback and boost a surging offense led by running back Tyrone Tracy, Jr.

Tyler Booker is a physical blocker who moves people. Alabama’s offense has been inconsistent since the Georgia win.

Booker gets a chance against LSU to help the Tide’s offensive line set the tone and create ample space for ball carriers and quality protection for QB Jalen Milroe.

The elephant in the room remains the quarterback position, where an upgrade is needed in either the 2025 or 2026 NFL Drafts.

Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is one of the best pure passers in the 2025 draft class. Sanders faces Texas Tech on the road in Week 11 with an opportunity to continue climbing in the College Football Playoff.

The thought of Sanders on the court with Malik Nabers, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt and Theo Johnson is tempting.

Virginia Tech cornerback Mansoor Delane has been a steadily rising defensive prospect this season. The cornerback class lost two of its top prospects earlier this season to season-ending injuries.

Delane has NFL height, weight and athleticism. He is coming off his worst game of the season against Syracuse in Week 10. Facing a Clemson Tiger offense looking to bounce back from a loss last week, Delane can bounce back with a big performance.

He has first-round buzz from NFL scouts, but solidifying that is key. Delane has a big opportunity this weekend in a big ACC game.

The offensive tackle class isn’t highly regarded right now, but Clemson right tackle Blake Miller has the height, weight, arm length and athletic ability to hear his name called on Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Miller did not surrender a sack or quarterback hit all season. He’s preparing to face his toughest challenge this season with Virginia Tech’s ferocious pass rush.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland is among the top pass rushers in the nation and the ACC. Miller needs to have a strong outing and perform against Powell-Ryland on Saturday to continue moving up the draft boards for offensive tackle.
