The NFL draft is over. Now it’s time to figure out where the draftees slot in on your existing dynasty teams. Fun times are on the horizon. Here’s a stab at ranking every QB, RB, WR, and TE taken in the 2025 NFL draft based on how things fell and who landed where:
- RB Ashton Jeanty, Raiders, Boise State, NFL draft pick 1.06 – This is a no-brainer; he’s the hands-down 1.01 in existing dynasty leagues.
- WR Tetairoa McMillan, Panthers, Arizona, 1.08 – Carolina is loaded with young wide receivers now, plus this should pretty much mean it’s time for Adam Thielen to ride off into the sunset.
- TE Tyler Warren, Colts, Penn State, 1.14 – He wasn’t the first tight end to go on the first day of the draft, but he’s clearly the starter in Indy. The question is: Can the Colts’ QB get him the ball?
- QB Cam Ward, Titans, Miami, 1.01 – He’s likely 1.01 in existing dynasty superflex leagues, and he’s clearly the most draftable rookie quarterback in dynasty non-superflex leagues.
- RB Omarion Hampton, Chargers, UNC, 1.22 – Gotta believe he and Najee Harris will be sharing the backfield load for Jim Harbaugh’s team.
- RB Quinshon Judkins, Browns, Ohio State, 2.04 – Can he beat out Jerome Ford? If/when that happens, it will surprise no one.
- RB TreVeyon Henderson, Patriots, Ohio State, 2.06 – Like his college teammate Judkins, can Henderson beat out Rhamondre Stevenson? Again, that won’t be a huge surprise.
- RB R.J. Harvey, Broncos, Central Florida, 2.28 – He’s part of a crowded backfield mix in Denver with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime, but Harvey has a definite shot to earn the bulk of the workload.
- RB Kaleb Johnson, Steelers, Iowa, 3.19 – Gotta believe he’ll see a lot of action and save some wear and tear on Jaylen Warren.
- WR Matthew Golden, Packers, Texas, 1.23 – Good golly do the Packers have a crowded wide receiver room. Can Golden push Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks totally out of the picture?
- WR Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers, Ohio State, 1.19 – Mike Evans is 31, and Chris Godwin is 29, plus second-year pro Jalen McMillan is in the mix. But the time for some young wide receiver blood in Tampa is near.
- WR Jayden Higgins, Texans, Iowa State, 2.02 – Houston has a boatload of wide receivers, and Higgins has a shot for significant targets because most of the veterans are dealing with or coming off injuries.
- WR Luther Burden, Bears, Missouri, 2.07 – He’ll be behind D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze, but new head coach Ben Johnson likes to put the ball in the air.
- WR Tre Harris, Chargers, Mississippi, 2.23 – Not a great landing spot since Jim Harbaugh likes to run the football, but Harris has a chance to be right behind Ladd McConkey for targets.
- TE Mason Taylor, Jets, LSU, 2.10 – Tight end was a huge position of need for the Jets, and Taylor could prove to be a nice safety valve for Justin Fields.
- TE Colston Loveland, Bears, Michigan, 1.10 – He was the first tight end off the board, but the Bears already have Cole Kmet and ample WR/RB weapons. Will he really see many targets?
- QB Jaxson Dart, Giants, Mississippi, 1.25 – He won’t start as a rookie, but he’s a must-have in dynasty superflex, and he’s worth owning in regular dynasty, too.
- QB Tyler Shough, Saints, Louisville, 2.08 – With the quarterback situation in New Orleans, he’s worth a shot in regular dynasty, and he’s a must-draft in superflex dynasty.
- WR/CB Travis Hunter, Jaguars, Colorado, 1.02 – This is way lower than most rankings will have him, but the bet here is that he’ll wind up playing way more cornerback than he does wide receiver.
- WR Jack Bech, Raiders, TCU, 2.26 – Other than Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas doesn’t have much at wide receiver, so this ranking could be a little low.
- RB Cam Skattebo, Giants, Arizona State, 4.03 – Can he beat out Tyrone Tracy and be the starter? Not likely. Can he supplant Devin Singletary as the RB2? No one will be surprised if he does.
- WR Tory Horton, Seahawks, Colorado State, 5.30 – Look for this guy to emerge as the sleeper pick of this NFL draft. Horton could be a starter in Seattle pretty darn quick.
- WR Elic Ayomanor, Titans, Stanford, 4.34 – The door is wide open for him to earn a significant number of snaps very quickly.
- RB Bhayshul Tuten, Jaguars, Virginia Tech, 4.02 – Everybody is in love with this guy’s speed. Will it translate to the NFL? That’s a huge question.
- RB Jarquez Hunter, Rams, Auburn, 4.15 – He certainly gives coach Sean McVay some nice running back depth behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.
- RB Dylan Sampson, Browns, Tennessee, 4.24 – Cleveland loaded up by drafting Sampson and Quinshon Judkins, so maybe the Browns’ brass has seen enough of Jerome Ford.
- RB Jaydon Blue, Cowboys, Texas, 5.12 – He definitely has a chance to be Javonte Williams’ backup or even a change-of-pace guy who gets a few touches each game.
- RB Devin Neal, Saints, Kansas, 6.08 – New Orleans might have gotten the running back steal of the NFL draft in the sixth round.
- QB Jalen Milroe, Seahawks, Alabama, 3.28 – He’s worth drafting in dynasty superflex, but he’s a dart throw in regular dynasty unless you’re into stashing young quarterbacks.
- QB Will Howard, Steelers, Ohio State, 6.09 – As of the end of April, all Howard has to do to be a starter as a rookie is beat out Mason Rudolph. It’s doable, so he’s a superflex must-draft.
- WR Kyle Williams, Patriots, Washington State, 3.05 – New England has a ton of wide receivers, both young and old. Who knows where Williams will ultimately fit in.
- WR Jaylin Noel, Texans, Iowa State, 3.15 – So Noel joins his college teammate Higgins in Houston. The question: Which one gets playing time among the masses in a very crowded receiver room.
- WR Jalen Royals, Chiefs, Utah State, 4.31 – He gives Patrick Mahomes another weapon, but odds of him getting tons of snaps as a rookie don’t look great.
- TE Terrence Ferguson, Rams, Oregon, 2.14 – He has only the aging Tyler Higbee in front of him, and that could mean some immediate playing time.
- TE Elijah Arroyo, Seahawks, Miami, 2.18 – Another tight end who could see immediate playing time, with only Noah Fant in front of him.
- RB Trevor Etienne, Panthers, Georgia, 4.12 – He was never the college star his brother was, but he gives Carolina some more running back depth.
- RB Woody Marks, Texans, Southern Cal, 4.14 – The heir to Joe Mixon has been pretty fuzzy, so maybe Marks takes control of that situation.
- RB D.J. Giddens, Colts, Kansas State, 5.14 – It might take some time, but eventually he could be the guy who gets the reps when Jonathan Taylor needs a rest.
- WR Dont’e Thornton, Raiders, Tennessee, 4.06 – See new teammate Jack Bech. The door is open to see who gets on the field along with Jakobi Meyers.
- RB Ollie Gordon, Dolphins, Oklahoma State, 6.03 – Miami grabs a nice depth piece for its backfield.
- TE Harold Fannin, Browns, Bowling Green, 3.03 – He’s behind David Njoku, so if you draft Fannin, he’s likely little more than a stash for the time being.
- WR Tai Felton, Vikings, Maryland, 3.38 – He joins a gaggle of WR3 candidates in Minnesota behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
- WR Isaac TeSlaa, Lions, Arkansas, 3.06 – Similar situation to Felton in Minnesota. Can TeSlaa emerge as the WR3 in Detroit?
- TE Oronde Gadsden, Chargers, Syracuse, 5.29 – He has a couple of aging veterans in front of him, but if he can figure out the blocking aspect of playing tight end, this could be a great pick by Jim Harbaugh.
- QB Dillon Gabriel, Browns, Oregon, 3.30 – He might be worth drafting in dynasty superflex, with a heavy emphasis on might.
- QB Shedeur Sanders, Browns, Colorado, 5.06 – Definitely worth drafting in dynasty superflex, but will he be able to transcend his freefall in the NFL draft?
- RB Jordan James, 49ers, Oregon, 5.09 – Kyle Shanahan loves his running backs, so maybe James works his way up the San Francisco depth chart.
- RB Kyle Monangai, Bears, Rutgers, 7.17 – Running back depth in Chicago is not a strength. Monangai could turn out to be a seventh-round steal.
- RB Phil Mafah, Cowboys, Clemson, 7.23 – This dude is a bull, and he could prove to be another seventh-round steal.
- WR Pat Bryant, Broncos, Illinois, 3.10 – There are a slew of young wide receivers in Denver. Where Bryant fits in looks like a crapshoot at this point.
- WR Savion Williams, Packers, TCU, 3.23 – Green Bay keeps adding young wide receivers. The most they can play at one time is five. Are the Packers planning on trading a vet or two?
- TE Gunnar Helm, Titans, Texas, 4.18 – Chig Okonkwo hasn’t exactly set the world on fire as the Tennessee tight end, so maybe Helm can get on the field and show what he can do.
- RB Tahj Brooks, Bengals, Texas Tech, 6.17 – If Zack Moss isn’t healthy enough to be a backup this season, Brooks could provide valuable depth in Cincinnati as a rookie.
- RB Damien Martinez, Seahawks, Miami, 7.07 – He could be a solid depth piece in Seattle’s backfield.
- QB Quinn Ewers, Dolphins, Texas, 7.15 – The quarterback room in Miami isn’t deep, and Tua’s injury history is no secret. Ewers is worth a late pick in superflex dynasty drafts.
- WR Chimere Dike, Titans, Florida, 4.01 – He went earlier than new teammate Elic Ayomanor, but Duke’s path to playing time looks to be a longer journey.
- WR Arian Smith, Jets, Georgia, 4.08 – It’s a hodgepodge in the Jets’ wide receiver room behind Garrett Wilson, so maybe this guy climbs the ladder.
- TE Mitchell Evans, Panthers, Notre Dame, 5.27 – He has a chance to become the starter in Carolina eventually, but it won’t be this year.
- WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Chargers, Auburn, 5.22 – He has an outside shot to make the roster, but getting on the field will be a whole ‘nother question.
