2025 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft

 

What to Do with Unexciting QBs

It's not a good year to "need" a QB on your dynasty squad.

Early consensus seems to place Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as the position's clear top two. But no one seems to be excited.

It's (probably) not as bad as the 2022 class, at least. That's when only Kenny Pickett went before Round 3, and only seventh-rounder Brock Purdy has emerged as a worthwhile fantasy asset.

We've got some later upside candidates at QB in this draft as well. But if you're needy and picking early in your rookie draft, you might want to check our dynasty trade calculator for more immediate help.

Quality at Other Positions

QB deficiency aside, though, this class offers some intriguing fantasy prospects.

It looks like a stronger group of RBs than we got last year -- potentially much stronger.

WR lacks the top-end talent of last year but presents some later upside.

And TE might deliver multiple new stars.

See how Kevin English, Jared Smola, Shane Hallam, and I sorted the prospects in this five-round dynasty superflex rookie mock draft ...

Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 1

1.01 – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Shane: Jeanty ranks as my seventh-highest rated RB since I started scouting in 2004.

His contact balance, explosiveness, and quick-twitch abilities are off the charts.

There is little doubt he becomes an RB1 in fantasy with enough work, so I'll take the safety of Jeanty over any of the QBs in a weaker class.

1.02 – Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Jared: Ward is sounding more and more likely to go No. 1 overall to Tennessee. It's not a great landing spot -- but a QB that goes No. 1 is well worth the 1.02 in superflex.

Ward's big arm and above-average mobility give him an exciting fantasy ceiling.

1.03 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Kevin: If you like supersized WRs with freakish movement skills, McMillan’s your guy.

He adds three years of proven production and figures to last no later than mid-Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

1.04 – Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC

Matt: This will probably become Jaxson Dart for me if the Ole Miss QB gets Round 1 draft capital. For now, though, I'll lean toward the RB who appears to be rated pretty close behind Jeanty.

Hampton hits the draft off two straight seasons of 1500+ rushing yards and averaged 8.7 yards per catch across 73 college receptions.

He looks like an immediate three-down back.

1.05 – Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi

Shane: Without knowing his draft capital, this is a bit risky for the 1.05. NFL mock drafts find him ranging from seventh overall to sliding into Round 2.

But if Dart goes in Round 1, his rushing upside belongs in this range.

Dart played well early, at USC. And then he got progressively better through three starting seasons at Ole Miss. The passing looks encouraging. The rushing pushes him ahead of Shedeur Sanders.

1.06 – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Jared: Iffy arm strength and a total lack of rushing upside make Sanders an unexciting rookie pick.

But his plus accuracy and likely strong draft capital make him a solid bet to stick around as at least a serviceable NFL starter.

That holds plenty of value in superflex leagues.

1.07 – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Kevin: No, he’s not flashy. But Egbuka looks like the next productive Ohio State slot after totaling 205 career receptions.

Notably, he broke out before his 20th birthday and came close to outproducing Marvin Harrison Jr. in 2023, with a 74-1,151-10 receiving line.

Egbuka should make fantasy contributions right away.

1.08 – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Matt: The closer we get to the draft, the more prominent Golden seems to get.

Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft (as of this writing) found Golden going 12th overall -- 10 spots ahead of Tet McMillan. If that comes true in the actual draft, then you probably won't find Golden lasting until the third WR and fifth non-QB spot in your superflex rookie draft.

All that said, it's well worth noting that Golden didn't lead any of his three college offenses in receptions. Arriving to a Houston team with Tank Dell in place didn't help. But Golden finished third on the team in receptions per game in 2023, with Dell gone, and just fifth in yards per catch (among Cougars with more than 2 receptions).

Last year found Golden trailing TE Gunnar Helm in receptions and topping 3 catches just twice over the first 10 games.

Am I saying you should steer away? Of course not. I'm drafting him in Round 1 here. But it might be time to tap the brakes a little on the hype.

1.09 – Luther Burden, WR, Missouri

Shane: Burden will need the right situation and coaching to succeed, but his athletic talents makes him a dangerous slot WR.

Taking him over the Ohio State RBs is risky, but there is a big tier drop after Burden to the next group of WRs. I'll take the upside in PPR.

1.10 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

Jared: Explosive.

Henderson averaged 7.0 yards per carry last year, taking 14.5% of his attempts for 15+ yards. He's an adept pass catcher and blocker, too.

The 202-pounder will never be an NFL workhorse, but he could do a lot of damage on 12-15 touches per game.

1.11 – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Kevin: Judkins ranked among the most productive backs in the nation over the past three seasons (739-3,785-45).

You can question his ceiling as a pass catcher. But at 6’0, 221 pounds, Judkins projects as a high-volume NFL rusher with TD upside. Recent buzz suggests Round 2 draft capital.

1.12 – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Matt: I'm a little wary of Warren posting limited production through four years before a huge 2024. But he converted from high school QB to college TE and then had to compete with Brenton Strange and Theo Johnson through 2023.

Warren matched Johnson -- now with the Giants -- in receptions and TDs and beat him in yardage that season. And then he exploded in 2024.

Warren appears destined for a spot in the first half of Round 1 in the NFL Draft. That should mean immediate opportunity.

Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 2

2.01 – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

Shane: Johnson was able to just churn out yardage at Iowa despite below average blocking in 2024.

He brings enough power and finesse to his game to always add that extra 2 or 3 yards on a run.

His NFL team will be able to count on him as its top back, and that should mean quick fantasy impact.

2.02 – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Jared: I don't believe the gap between Tyler Warren and Loveland is very big.

Warren wins on 2024 production, but Loveland just barely trailed him in both yards per route (2.78 to 2.67) and Pro Football Focus receiving grade (93.4 to 90.6). And Loveland tallied more yards as a sophomore than Warren did as a redshirt junior in 2023.

Loveland is nearly two years younger, suggesting more room for growth.

2.03 – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Kevin: Harris looked set for a special 2024, managing 60-1,030-7 through 8 games. Then, a lower body injury ended his season.

He’s built like a pro WR at 6’2 205 pounds and tested like one at the Combine (9.18 Relative Athletic Score).

As long as he goes in Round 2 of the NFL Draft, Harris belongs in this range.

2.04 – Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville

Matt: It sure sounds like Shough is going to get drafted ahead of Alabama QB Jalen Milroe. And although Milroe wins on rushing upside, Shough presents some sneaky ability on that front as well.

Just check out his 4.63-second 40 time -- 89th percentile at QB -- at 6'5 and 219 pounds.

If the predraft buzz on him turns out to be more fiction than foreshadowing, I'll adjust him downward. But the ceiling just might be worth chasing.

2.05 – Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee

Shane: Sampson checks all the boxes for a future fantasy starter.

He has excellent speed and athleticism, good pass-catching skills (despite being underutilized at Tennessee), and is tough for his size.

If he gets Day 2 draft capital, we could see a De'Von Achane-type surge up the depth chart.

2.06 – Travis Hunter, WR(?), Colorado

Jared: My colleagues refuse to draft this guy!

Hunter's upside is WELL worth the risk at this point of superflex drafts. If he ends up playing primarily WR, he'd belong more than a round higher than this.

The Browns, who could take Hunter second overall, have already said that they view him as a WR. The Giants and Patriots at picks three and four also need WR help.

2.07 – Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State

Kevin: I recently projected Jalen Royals’ dynasty value on the site.

He looks like one of the few standout WRs in this class, with excellent hands, movement skills, and production.

Don’t be surprised if he’s a Round 2 pick.

2.08 – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

Matt: Maybe we're looking at the next Malik Willis here. Maybe Milroe never turns into an NFL starter.

But if he does get that shot, then Milroe's rushing ability means he won't even have to be that good a QB to present fantasy upside.

Milroe ran for 1,257 yards and 32 TDs as Alabama's starter over the past two years -- even with sack yardage subtracted, as NCAA stat keeping does.

The QB backed up his rushing potential with a 99th-percentile 40 time (4.42 seconds) in pre-draft testing.

2.09 – Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Shane: Big, fast, productive, and an ideal "X" receiver. Higgins has shades of Nico Collins to his game, with his understanding of routes and spacing enough to get open using his athletic talents.

In a class with plenty of slot options, Higgins stands out as a potential alpha WR with near-unlimited upside.

2.10 – Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State

Jared: Skattebo stuffed the stat sheet last year with:

• 1,711 rushing yards
• 605 receiving yards
• and 24 total TDs

He's an older prospect and not a high-end athlete, so there are questions about how his game will translate to the NFL.

But if Skattebo hits, he could be a three-down back with big fantasy upside.

2.11 – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

Kevin: I also took Ayomanor in the 1-QB rookie mock. He was the best available player on our board in both cases.

Long term, there’s plenty of upside here with his size, athleticism, and production profile.

2.12 – Damien Martinez, RB, Miami

Matt: I could try to talk Martinez up. Or I could just turn it over to longtime film grinder and football analyst Greg Cosell:

Cosell then compared Martinez to the current version of Josh Jacobs. As long as Martinez doesn't slide to, say, Round 6 of the NFL draft, that Cosell assessment is enough to put me on the Miami RB in this range.

Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 3

3.01 – Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech

Shane: Tuten's 4.32-second 40 time was the fastest among Combine RBs. And that followed a couple of productive years at Virginia Tech.

Tuten's explosion and straight-line speed screams upside. In a gap-style system, Tuten could emerge as a lead RB sooner. His 81 receptions over the past three years suggest three-down potential.

3.02 – Devin Neal, RB, Kansas

Jared: Neal brings three-down size and skills.

He goes 5'11, 213 pounds and topped 1,000 rushing yards and 20 catches in each of his final three college seasons.

Fingers crossed for Day 2 draft capital.

3.03 – Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas

Kevin: Do I wish Bond had a stronger production profile? Sure. He exits college with no more than 48 catches or 668 yards in a season.

Still, his limited sample turns up exciting speed and run-after-catch ability.

At the combine, the 181-pounder ran a 4.39-second 40 with an elite 1.51-second 10-yard split.

Bond should find a home on Day 2 of the draft.

3.04 – DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State

Matt: This could be Mason Taylor if I have a TE-needy roster. But for now I'll favor a RB who followed terrific college production with an excellent Combine workout.

Giddens racked up 6.0 yards per carry and 11.7 yards per catch over his three-year Kansas State run. That included more than 1,200 rushing yards and 21+ catches each of the past two years.

The 212-pounder then delivered a 4.43-second 40 time to notch a 91st-percentile speed score. And he displayed his burst with a 95th-percentile vert and 98th-percentile broad jump for the position.

3.05 – Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Shane: Arroyo is flirting with first-round draft capital as a hyper-athletic TE who was underutilized at Miami.

He aced the Senior Bowl and has the profile of a starting NFL TE. With the recent success of second round TEs such as Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride, Arroyo will be worth a shot in the right situation.

3.06 – R.J. Harvey Jr., RB, Central Florida

Jared: This 5'8, 205-pounder is destined for a committee role as a pro. But he could be a fantasy starter on 12-15 touches per game.

Harvey is a bursty athlete with plus short-area quickness. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry for his college career and caught 61 balls over the last three years.

3.07 – Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

Kevin: Noel held Iowa State's primary slot role in each of the past three seasons. He largely excelled as a short-range target but added more vertical routes in 2024. He also showed improved hands last fall.

Noel continued his momentum at the combine, where he ran a 4.39-second 40 and jumped 41.5 inches. He could sneak into Round 2 of the NFL Draft.

3.08 – Jack Bech, WR, TCU

Matt: Bech has garnered attention throughout the predraft process, so don't be surprised if he climbs higher than this in your rookie drafts.

As a true freshman in 2021, he led receptions for an LSU offense that also sported Kayshon Boutte (who played just six games), Trey Palmer, Brian Thomas Jr., and Malik Nabers.

Bech's role fell off the following year, and then came a quiet first season after his transfer to TCU. But he outproduced teammate and draft classmate Savion Williams across categories in 2024, including 16.7 yards per catch to Williams' 10.2.

Bech brings solid size (6'2, 215), physicality, and experience both in the slot and outside.

3.09 – Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Shane: Taylor looks locked into the top two rounds of the NFL Draft, with a path to start if the situation is good.

He went underutilized at LSU and could have delivered much bigger numbers with his athleticism and receiving ability.

3.10 – Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State

Jared: Gordon's production plummeted last year after a huge 2023. And, honestly, that 2023 season looks less impressive the deeper I dig into it.

Still, late Round 3 feels like a fine spot to take a chance on a 21-year-old RB with a 1,700-yard season on his resume.

3.11 – Jordan James, RB, Oregon

Kevin: James often gets lost in a deep RB class. But he’s a compact 5’9, 205-pounder with an aggressive style.

He flashed when sharing the backfield with Bucky Irving in 2023, and then saw his production take off in 2024.

James racked up 1,267 yards and 15 TDs across 14 games.

3.12 – Will Howard, QB, Ohio State

Matt: This is the exact same spot where Howard went in our previous superflex mock (which I didn't realize when making this pick). We'll see what the NFL Draft has to say about where he belongs.

If Howard gets good enough draft capital and a landing spot with opportunity, though, he carries real fantasy intrigue.

He broke out as a fifth-year senior in his lone Ohio State season, leading the Big Ten in:

• passing yards
• TDs
• and completion rate

... en route to a national title. But Howard also threw 39 TD passes vs. just 14 INTs over his final two years at Kansas State.

And he sports underrated mobility: Three years of 220+ rushing yards (even with sack yards subtracted) and 26 career rushing scores.

Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 4

4.01 – Savion Williams, WR, TCU

Shane: Williams' profile screams "better in real football than fantasy."

As part WR, part RB and all-around weapon, he could be more of a trick-play threat than a consistent presence.

Even so, Williams is a likely top-100 pick whose best position is WR. If a creative OC gets ahold of him, there's intriguing upside.

4.02 – Brashard Smith, RB, Central Florida

Jared: Smith transitioned from WR to RB ahead of 2024 and promptly ran for 1,332 yards and 14 TDs.

His 194-pound frame figures to limit his NFL volume. But with pass-catching prowess and sub-4.4 speed, Smith could be an exciting fantasy asset even in a committee backfield.

4.03 – Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State

Kevin: Horton is a recent riser after running a 4.41-second 40 at the Combine. He added a 37.5-inch vertical.

Those numbers look particularly impressive after his 2024 ended with an October knee injury that required surgery.

On the field, Horton brings a quick twitch and plenty of speed. His resume looks solid, too, with 3,615 career receiving yards.

4.04 – Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon

Matt: The guys have let me take Gabriel in each of our two mock drafts so far. There's risk that NFL teams deem him not big or good enough to make an impact. But Gabriel's experience gives him a shot to be a sneaky-good late gamble.

He spent six years starting across three schools, racking up 155 TD passes vs. just 32 INTs.

Outside of his three-game 2021, Gabriel delivered 25+ TDs and 7 or fewer INTs every year. He added 862 yards and 25 TDs on the ground over the past three seasons.

4.05 – Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse

Shane: Matt has been taking all the shots on QBs just before I am comfortable doing so.

McCord fits in with the Howard/Gabriel tier of QBs: above-average talent with developmental potential.

He grew from Ohio State to Syracuse and flashed NFL arm talent (outside of one terrible game -- at Pitt).

4.06 – Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas

Jared: Let's keep the QB run going with Ewers, who had an underwhelming college career but possesses as much arm talent as any QB beyond Cam Ward.

If he lands with a good QB developer, there's starting-caliber upside here.

4.07 – LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse

Kevin: Allen's proven durable and productive over the past two seasons, racking up back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

He's also one of the top receiving backs in this class, with 102 catches over the past two seasons.

4.08 – Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green State

Matt: Things have been quiet on Fannin through pre-draft season. But he followed a record-setting 2024 -- most single-season receptions (117) and yards (1,555) by a TE in FBS history -- with a not-terrible Combine workout.

The 4.71-second 40 time rates 67th percentile among TEs. And his 7.73 Relative Athletic Score (out of 10) is solid for a guy many expected to underwhelm in workouts.

Fannin's a low-risk bet at this point on a terrific production profile.

4.09 – Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia

Shane: Etienne was been a lead back in college. But in the fourth round, I'm searching for PPR upside.

Etienne delivered 17 rushing TDs over the past two seasons in the SEC and brings 4.42 speed.

4.10 – Jo'Quavious 'Woody' Marks, RB, USC

Jared: Marks is the most accomplished pass-catcher in this year's RB class, with 261 receptions across five college seasons. That's enough to make him worth a pick in late Round 4, even though he's 24 years old and a subpar athlete.

Maybe he can carve out a Theo Riddick-esque role as a pro.

4.11 – Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame

Kevin: Leonard broke out as a 2022 sophomore at Duke. The following year turned up injury troubles, but he rebounded a bit with Notre Dame in 2024.

His arm talent is just OK, but Leonard makes for an interesting stash because of his rushing ability.

He totaled 2,130 rushing yards and 36 TDs for his career.

4.12 – Tai Felton, WR, Maryland

Matt: Felton broke out late in college. But that fourth season found him drawing:

• 30.4% target share
• 34% yardage share
• 43% TD share

Felton then backed that up with a 4.37-second 40 time and elite jumps at the Combine.

Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 5

5.01 – Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon

Shane: It's time for Johnson. His production, agility, and explosive training all scream NFL wide receiver.

Of course, 4.5 speed at 150 pounds will take him off some teams' boards. But if he gets third-fourth round draft capital, it will show faith in his abilities.

(And the tape is great.)

5.02 – Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

Jared: There's been Day 2 buzz lately on Williams, who totaled 2,043 yards and 20 TDs at Washington State over the past two seasons.

He can win deep and after the catch, making him a potential big-play threat at the next level.

5.03 – Jaylin Lane, WR, Virginia Tech

Kevin: Lane broke out as a redshirt sophomore at Middle Tennessee State (69-940-5).

His production underwhelmed at run-heavy Virginia Tech over the past two seasons. But we saw Lane’s raw athletic upside at the Combine, as he assembled a 9.68 Relative Athletic Score.

He looks like a vertical slot option at 5'10, 191 pounds.

5.04 – Raheim Sanders, RB, South Carolina

Matt: Sanders enjoyed his best college season as a 2022 sophomore at Arkansas. His 222-1,443-10 rushing line included an SEC-leading 6.5 yards per carry.

Injuries derailed his 2023, but Sanders finished well after a transfer to South Carolina.

His 4.8-yard rushing average for 2024 looked disappointing. But Sanders delivered a career-best 3.69 yards after contact per attempt, ranking a solid 47th among 161 FBS backs with 100+ carries.

5.05 – Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech

Shane: Brooks was productive at Texas Tech with two straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

He presents a stout build, breaks tackles, and even shows underrated hands as a receiver.

Brooks could develop into being a No. 2 NFL back.

5.06 – Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn

Jared: Hunter is coming off an impressive 2024, running for 1,201 yards and ranking top-20 nationally in missed tackles forced and yards after contact per attempt.

He helped his stock at the Combine, earning 80th-percentile marks in both speed score and Relative Athletic Score.

5.07 – Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers

Kevin: Monangai racked up 2,541 rushing yards and 21 TDs over the past two seasons.

He's a stout rusher at 5'8, 211 pounds. He also exits college with zero career fumbles.

Monangai won't offer much as a pass catcher, but he could eventually earn early-down snaps.

5.08 – Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas

Matt: Here's what to dislike about Blue: He never led a college backfield. Even his final season at Texas found him trailing Tre Wisner in carries (226-134) and receptions (44-42).

Here's what to like: his speed.

Blue beat Wisner in yards per carry (5.4 to 4.7) and yards per catch (8.8 to 7.1). And then he blazed a 4.38-second 40 time at the Combine. That's a 98th-percentile mark for the position and produced an 85th-percentile speed score for the 196-pounder.

5.09 – Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

Shane: Ferguson's athleticism forced Oregon to actually use their TE for once.

He's a solid blocker and brings the requisite skill set to be a starting NFL TE.

Round 3 of the NFL Draft isn't out of the question.

5.10 – Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami

Jared: Restrepo's stock has rightfully taken a hit with the 4.85-second 40 time at his pro day.

But he posted nice marks in the agility drills, which is arguably more important than the 40 for his archetype.

Restrepo projects as a shorter-range slot receiver as a pro. His college production -- 2,219 yards over the last two seasons -- makes him deserving of a spot in five-round rookie drafts.

5.11 – Dont'e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee

Kevin: Thornton’s elite athleticism is the main draw.

At 6’4, 205 pounds, he was a true Combine winner with a 4.30-second 40 time and a 1.51-second 10-yard split. He added an impressive 10’6 broad jump.

Thornton’s on-field production looks poor, but he has at least shown flashes of using his speed downfield. He tallied 26-661-6 this past season at Tennessee – good for a massive 25.4 YPC.

5.12 – Marcus Yarns, RB, Delaware

Matt: Yarns brings above-average speed -- 4.45-second 40 time -- and turned that into efficient production at Delaware. He averaged 6.4 yards per carry and 12.7 per catch for his career.

The slender 5'11, 193-pounder probably isn't a three-down player in the NFL, but he has the speed and skills to develop into an upside receiving back.
