2025 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft
A good life lesson for all of our loyal folks out there is to always remember this: Change is constant. Not only in this fun hobby we play, but that goes for life too. Be willing to adapt, and don’t be reactive.
I say this because it’s important to remember the value fluctuation of players over the course of the season. It’s a three-month marathon that we’re all trying to keep up with, including those who look like future stars two to three years from now.
I bring up the theme of change today because that’s what we have in our second edition of the 2025 future rookie mock draft. There’s been some shifting and moving happening, along with some new players who have now entered the picture. I also do my best guess (although, with my luck, probably not very well… but at least I give it a good effort!) to project several players who are draft-eligible this year but would be in their best interest to return to school – which will only make this class even stronger. I think this is starting to look like another solid class of future NFL stars.
So without further ado, here’s how I see the 2025 class at its midway point.
1.01 – Drew Allar, QB Penn State
Allar remains the 1.01 at the midway point. The true sophomore has not thrown an interception yet to date and has been everything that Penn State fans have hoped for. He has helped unlock the Nittany Lions’ offense and gives them a true difference-maker at the most important position. Allar is living up to the hype as an impact five-star prospect.
1.02 – Nicholas Singleton, RB Penn State
The stats would tell you that Singleton has sort of “regressed” from last season’s breakout year in his true freshman campaign, but that was mostly because Sean Clifford was the quarterback. Due to Clifford’s limited ceiling, the Nittany Lions offense had to rely heavily on their thoroughbred. Now, with Allar taking over the reigns, Singleton doesn’t have to bear all of the work, but is still a future dynasty stud in the making. He remains as the 2025 1.02 selection.
1.03 – Luther Burden, WR Missouri
After Marvin Harrison Jr, is Luther Burden the best wideout in college football?
There’s certainly an argument to be made, as Burden ranks third in the nation in receiving with 808 yards and five touchdowns. He moves up four spots from the 1.07 in the early season 2025 rookie mock. Burden has taken a massive leap in his true sophomore season and the Tigers offense runs through the dynamic weapon. He will be, without question, the 2025 WR1 heading into next season barring any surprise returns from the projected 2024 wide receiver class.
1.04 – Quinshon Judkins, RB Ole Miss
In early September, Judkins was slow to get going out of the gate. He was splitting reps with upperclassman Ulysses Brentley, but has found his stride once the calendar flipped to October. He broke out against LSU in his best game of the year (33-177-1) and then followed that up in another win against Arkansas with 65 yards and a touchdown. Judkins has established himself as one of the best running backs in college football and will be in the discussion as a top-50 prospect going into next season.
1.05 – Evan Stewart, WR Texas A&M
Stewart broke out against Miami in week two with double-digit receptions and yards (11-142) but has not duplicated that performance since. The Aggies lost true sophomore quarterback Connor Weigman to a season-ending foot injury and have had to rely on Max Johnson who has struggled to find consistency as a passer resulting in two straight losses. Stewart is still a high-level player and had a great start to his 2023 season. But without Weigman, he may lack consistency each week. Still, he is a talented prospect and will be one of the top wide receivers in 2024.
1.06 – Travis Hunter, ATH Colorado
Hunter took a nasty hit in the Buffs showdown with Colorado State. We all saw it. It was cringe-worthy, and Hunter had to sit out multiple games because of the hard hit. In his first game back, he picked up right where he left off scoring two touchdowns against Stanford showing his elite, special talent that makes him one of the most exciting players in college football. The question remains from now until the time he’s drafted is where he will fit best long-term in the NFL.
1.07 – Damien Martinez, RB Oregon State
Martinez is developing a reputation as steady-eddy, as cool as a cucumber. He is not the flashiest nor may he be particularly well-known playing in the great northwest, but he is on pace to break 1,000 yards rushing this year and flies under the radar as one of the best running back prospects in the 2025 class. He is averaging 6.4 yards per rush and has been the best player on offense for the Beavers. I don’t expect him to fall past a mid-first next year. Anything lower than 1.08 would be a huge value.
1.08 – Jonathon Brooks, RB Texas
One of the biggest question marks for the Longhorns going into this season was who would replace Bijan Robinson. Well, that question was answered early with Brooks, who has held off former five-star recruit Cedric Baxter and has burst onto the scene as one of the best running backs in the country. Brooks is another big, explosive power back who the Longhorns just seem to continue to pump out in Austin. Brooks is draft-eligible in 2024, but this is his first full year as a starter. This could go either way, but I am leaning towards a return in 2025. If so, he will be an exciting prospect who should be considered a first-round rookie pick.
1.09 – Jalen McMillan, WR Washington
McMillan is part of the trio of Huskies wide receivers who are legitimate future stars in the NFL. Led by top-50 prospect and potential day one pick Rome Odunze, McMillan started the year off strong but has since succumbed to a nagging injury that has forced him in and out of the lineup. McMillan may be the best route runner out of all of them and has a multi-sport background that NFL personnel will like. However, with this injury, and Odunze having a breakout season, it may impact his draft projection if he were to declare this year. I think another year to get healthy and compete as the Huskies’ WR1 in 2024 is the better decision, which means he will have first-round rookie value in 2025 drafts.
1.10 – Ja’Lynn Polk, WR Washington
Last but not least of the Huskies trio, Polk himself has had a breakout season and has kept up with both Odunze and McMillan as a star player. There’s so much to like about Polk, with the first thing being his size (listed 6’2″/204). Polk ranks in the top 25 in receiving in the nation and has been a significant contributor to the Huskies’ success in 2023. He is a former Texas Tech transfer and played his redshirt freshman season last year and has broken out as a fourth-year sophomore. It is unlikely that he would declare with two years of eligibility left and could use next year to step into the role filled by Odunze this season. Polk is playing his way into first-round rookie value and should be in the discussion in 2025.
1.11 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona
The Wildcats’ McMillan should probably be higher on this list. He may be towards the end of the year with the trajectory he is on. He has made an impact as Arizona’s WR1 and has taken a leap in his true sophomore year after starting every game as a freshman. The sheer size of McMillan (6’5″/238) and his athleticism almost assures him a first-round lock in 2025. If he can put it all together and has another dominating season, he may be much higher on rookie mocks by then.
1.12 – Cade Klubnik, QB Clemson
Klubnik is a former five-star recruit but has struggled to be a difference-maker for the Tigers offense. However, the traits and physical tools do flash, and Klubnik has done enough to be considered in the first-round rookie conversation at this point. There is still a lot of meat on the bone, and he will have to prove that he can be the guy for Clemson to lead them back to national prominence. For now, there is still more development to be had and how Klubnik responds will be a major storyline heading into next season.
