At the exact moment, Kobe Minor was declared the official flip of Mr. Irlelevant this year (No. 257 and last pick in the NFL Draft). Your Fantasy Football League's 2025 season is officially and irrevocably.

It's time, everyone. The rookie dynasty draft is about to decline. For many of us, they happen this week.
Recently, we had an allergic approach to rookie classes before the draft, and today’s task is to modify and refine (possibly reject) those unfortunate levels. With the login site, we can now make better views on things.

It should be clear that the ranking below will still cause huge bombs, but we feel very good about them at the moment. For our purposes today, the usual single QB semi-ppr format is adopted. If you're in the Super Dynasty league, this year's rookie course will take you to some horrible places, early stages.
1. AshtonJeenty, RB, Las Vagas Raiders
Jeanty has been a first-class player in this draft class and his identity was cemented when he was selected by a team that offers unlimited opportunities. As a rookie, he should probably be a favorite to lead the NFL contact. There is no doubt that Jeanty is the top rookie draft that has been clearly challenged this year.
2. Travis Hunter, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
3. Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Charger
4. TetairoaMcMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers
We use the term "cheat code" to refer to many things in the NFL it worksbut this is indeed the only appropriate description of the hunter. Jacksonville has both an elite corner and a peculiar offensive organizer, and he signed a rookie contract. Absolutely crazy situation. The Jaguars reportedly immersed him in Liam Coen's offense, completely intending to use him as a rookie. For the foreseeable future, Hunter is clearly the non-QB who is most likely to win the league MVP.

Hampton isn't actually my second-place rookie re-drafted, but his dynasty prospects are spectacular. The charger is a premium destination and the team has not tied up with Najee Harris after this season. Generally speaking, we shouldn't be too far off the road to the dynasty guards (no more than two seasons) - but it's easy to imagine Hampton eventually challenging the LA's snatch champion
5. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
6. RJ Harvey, RB, Denver Broncos
7. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Cleveland Browns
8. Treveyon Henderson, RB, New England Patriot
Entering the draft, the Steelers had a Kaleb Johnson-shaped hole in the backcourt depth map, and they filled it with the actual Kaleb Johnson. He is a huge winner. As discussed here and here, this is just a perfect fit.

This level is indeed the power and depth of this year's running class is obvious. All four players were selected for good situations and they should immediately serve as heads of their respective backcourt committees. To me, these guys are a very obvious four-layer, closer to the group above than the group above.
9. ColstonLoveland, TE, Chicago Bear
10. MatthewGolden, WR, Green Bay Packers
11. Luther Burden III, WR, Chicago Bear
12. Kyle Williams, New England Patriots WR
13. Cam Skattebo, RB, New York Giants
14. Jaydon Blue, RB, Dallas Cowboy
15. BhayshulTuten, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
OK, this nameset will contain two or three Very The right answer and a bunch of fires. Here we found four high ceiling catchers with real chance to be the first or 1A reception option for the current season. (When Ben Johnson discusses rebuilding Chicago’s depth chart from scratch, purely through the game, we should never assume it’s coached.

The rookie draft this season seems to me to have a locked high eight player - in SuperFlex, I'll be upping Cam Ward here - I won't deviate from board results in the first three tiers. But when we get to the fourth level, I stop thinking about the best players and instead meet my known roster needs. That is, if I sit in the 10th pick and my dynasty squad has a huge demand for running, I will not hesitate to take the Skattebo and skip the receiver.
Let us remember that prospect assessment is highly subjective, especially when we lower the rank - often inaccurately inaccurate. We can see our roster weaknesses, with much greater clarity than the future results of rookies we see in this range.

25. Pat Bryant, WR, Denver Mustang
26. Mason Taylor, TE, New York Jets
27. Dylan Sampson, RB, Cleveland Browns
This almost broke Egbuka and Warren in this nearby Warren for different reasons, but each of them faced the stiffest fantasy headwind as rookies. Egbuka is buried behind the receiving hierarchy in Tampa Bay, behind two of the best receivers who, assuming they are healthy, may command 270 players with combined goals. Warren is trapped in the offense, with everything necessary to have high strength besides a capable, consistent quarterback game. In his first year, his situation was painful.

Bryant’s most important thing in the receiver is, but no surprise, the league itself seems to be higher in him (the third round) than the mock draft community. He is a polished player who never concedes the ball, and his new head coach has just abandoned Michael Thomas' path.
28. IsaacTesla, WR, Detroit Lions
29. Jalen Milroe, QB, Seattle Seahawks

39. DevinNeal, RB, New Orleans Saints
40. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Tennessee Titan
This layer contains interesting curiosity (especially Tesla and Milroe) who are at least a year away from the correlation and the defender is at least a year old and they need a few unlikely things to get stuck.

It also contains DART, and I am primarily courteous to the Giants fans, which is also because of the element of rushing his game. Just to be completely transparent, I don't think I'm going to pick him outside of the Super Folk League. You can still fool me in a thousand different ways in your fantasy, but, sorry, Lane Kiffin quarterback will stop cheating me. If Dart manages to explode in 2026, he will be someone else’s success story.
It does feel like the wrong season, i.e., there is an immediate need for quarterbacks in your dynasty league. Ward obviously can help, and Milo’s ceiling is certainly worth the wait, but every other name on the board seems like a bad idea in its unique way. Running backwards is the position with the brightest object and all depths as expected.
