2025 Superflex Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Justin Taylor

2025 rookie drafts will be here before we know it! Dynasty managers need to ensure they know about the rookie class value and potential order. Here’s my breakdown for a superflex, tight end premium 2025 rookie mock draft for fantasy purposes. Here we go!

1.01 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR Arizona

His college team has struggled a bit this season, but he is still producing. McMillan started off the season with 10 catches for 304 yards and four touchdowns. Later on, he added an 11 catch, 138-yard game, and a 10 catch, 202-yard performance. He has 63 catches for 1.066 yards and six touchdowns in nine games this season.

McMillan broke out as a sophomore with 90 catches for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023. This guy has it all. He has the size you want at 6-5, 212, long arms, and can go up and high point the ball over smaller defenders. He reminds me of a mix between Mike Evans and Randy Moss. He is my top fantasy asset in the upcoming draft.

1.02 – Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State

Jeanty is having one of the best seasons for a running back in the last 40 years. He was threatening Barry Sanders’ record-breaking season at Oklahoma in 1988 when he won the Heisman trophy, but has slowed down recently. Sanders finished with 2,850 yards rushing and 42 rushing touchdowns for a 237.5 rushing yards per game. So far this season, Jeanty has 1,525 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns in eight games. That’s 190.7 yards per game.

Jeanty isn’t a one-hit wonder. He rushed for 1,347 yards with 43 catches for 569 yards and 19 total touchdowns during his sophomore season. Jeanty is a tackle-breaking machine. All the advanced analytics say he is an absolute stud. If Jeanty gets first-round draft capital in the 2025 NFL Draft, he could be the 1.01, especially if he ends up in a nice landing spot like the Dallas Cowboys or Los Angeles Chargers. The eye-popping numbers in college and all the highlights are going to have dynasty managers slobbering all over a big time workhorse running back.

1.03 – Luther Burden, WR Missouri

The numbers are down for Burden this season, but his quarterback Brady Cook has not looked as good as the Missouri offense has struggled so far this year. But if you look at the 2023 tape, Burden showed he is a YAC machine, that he can also go deep and go get the long ball, he is also a talented punt returner. Burden had 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games in 2023 compared to just 40 catches for 450 yards and four touchdowns in eight games in 2024.

Burden is a talented athlete who should shine at the combine. Plus his pedigree as being the number one receiver in the High School Class of 2022 will help him in drafter’s eyes. Burden also can play the slot or on the outside. Even with the dip in production this season, I still think Burden is the second or third wide receiver off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft.

1.04 – Quinshon Judkins, RB Ohio State

Judkins is a former three-star recruit who tore it up at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State this year. He had dominant numbers for the Rebels with 545 carries for 2,725 yards and 31 touchdowns combined in his freshman and sophomore seasons.

The production has taken a hit sharing time in the backfield with TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins has 95 carries for 615 yards and six touchdowns in eight games this season. Judkins has shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield with 47 catches for 362 yards and four touchdowns in his three-year career.

Depending on where he is drafted he could be anywhere from RB2-RB5 in this draft class for me. I like his motor and his contact balance. He has a lot of ability and could be taken in the late first or early part of the second round of the NFL Draft.

1.05 – Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado

Sanders has been my QB1 in this draft class since 2023 when he transferred to Colorado from Jackson State. Sanders has been a winner at every level of his playing career. With the help of his father, NFL-Legend Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes improved from 1-11 before they arrived to 4-8 in their first year in Boulder, his first losing season of his career. The Buffaloes have continued the turnaround and are 6-2 this season and have a chance at making the 12-team College Football Playoffs.

Sanders is 6-2, 215 pounds with solid arm strength, good ball placement, and is extremely accurate. He currently is third in adjusted completion percentage in college football this season at 80.7%. He has completed 69% or better of his passes in three seasons. He is top six in passing yards, passing touchdowns, big-time throw percentage, and in turnover play percentage. Sanders has thrown for over 3,000 yards in four straight seasons with a 120-to-23 touchdown to interception ratio.

Sanders isn’t a running quarterback, but his pocket presence has improved throughout his career. He has shown the ability to make plays with his legs when he has to, but has really improved in staying in the pocket and making tough throws against pressure.

1.06 – Cam Ward, QB Miami

Ward has worked his way up from FCS school Incarnate Word to Washington State and now Miami. Ward could have come out last year, he originally declared for the NFL Draft, but he did not get the feedback he wanted and was probably going to be a mid-round pick.

Ward has shot up draft boards this season. He is now in the race for QB1 in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is currently my QB2 with some exciting upside. Ward is 6-2, 223 pounds. He has been a five-year starter in college. He has been extremely explosive with Miami this year. He has completed 67.1% of his passes for 3,146 yards with 29 touchdowns with only six interceptions in nine games. Those numbers are similar to what he has been able to do throughout his college career, and now at the highest level in college football.

Ward has a chance to go top 10 in the NFL Draft. A team could absolutely fall in love with him and his playmaking ability. Ward struggles with pressure in his face, but when he can avoid the pressure, he reminds me of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his ability to make off-the-cuff plays. He can move in the pocket and run around long enough to find open receivers down the field. It is one of his best traits as a quarterback. Ward also played in a wishbone offense in high school, which is why he wasn’t highly recruited. He isn’t a speedster, but he can run when he needs to and make plays with his feet.

1.07 – Travis Hunter, WR Colorado

Hunter was the top player in the nation coming out of high school. He shocked the college football world when he chose to follow Deion Sanders to Jackson State instead of going to a top five program. He was getting plenty of publicity, but when he followed Sanders to Colorado last season, the world saw what type of player Hunter could be.

Hunter has elite ability. He has wowed everyone with his ability to play both ways this season. Hunter is currently a top three wide receiver and a top three cornerback in the upcoming draft. For my money, Hunter should be the favorite to win the Heisman after playing wide receiver and cornerback for the entire season.

Hunter has long arms for his size. He tracks the ball well and is great at the catch point. The crazy thing is how good would he be if he was only playing wide receiver every day in practice and games? Hunter has 60 catches for 757 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games this season. He has also added 21 tackles with two interceptions and seven passes defensed.

The biggest question for Hunter is whether or not he will try to play both ways in the pros. If he gets drafted as a full-time defensive player, and part-time offensive player, Hunter will only go this high in high-scoring IDP leagues. But if he does get drafted as a full-time wide receiver, then this spot is probably too low. Hunter has a good chance to be a top-five selection in the NFL Draft either way.

1.08 – Omarion Hampton, RB North Carolina

Hampton has great size at 6-0, 220 pounds, and runs a 4.44-second 40-yard dash. Hampton was a four-star player in high school who stayed home to play at North Carolina. He had an immediate impact as a freshman then broke out as a sophomore with 1,504 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. Hampton showed the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield with 29 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown. Through nine games this season, Hampton has 1,178 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns with 26 catches for 265 yards in a much worse offense, showing that he can be a workhorse and focal point of the offense.

Hampton is a big back with good speed. If he can put together a good NFL combine, Hampton could position himself as high as RB2 in the upcoming draft and find himself going in the late first to early second round.

1.09 – Nicholas Singleton, RB Penn State

Singleton has elite athletic ability. He is a dynamic playmaker who was a five-star recruit out of Pennsylvania. At 6-0, 228-pounds with 4.39-second 40-yard speed, Singleton had a spectacular high school career, amassing 6,326 rushing yards and 116 touchdowns at Governor Mifflin High. He earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in 2022 after rushing for 941 yards and 10 touchdowns.

His production has suffered a bit on the poor Nittany Lions offense the last two seasons. They haven’t been a super explosive offensive team, but Singleton has had some really nice flashes. Singleton has all the tools to be a three-down back in the NFL and reminds me a bit of Breece Hall. He has the feeling of a guy who can be a better pro player than a college player.

1.10 – Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State

Egbuka is a guy who seems like he has been around forever. Devy players know him very well. He was a big commodity following his awesome breakout sophomore season in 2022 with 74 catches for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns. He suffered through an injury-plagued junior season that saw him lose some of his luster, especially since he was overshadowed by Marvin Harrison Jr., who became the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Egbuka has had a solid season with 46 catches for 577 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games. The smart fantasy owners will ignore the noise and the Devy fatigue and draft the talent.

Egbuka doesn’t blow you away with his size or athleticism, but he has plenty of both. He is 6-1, 205 pounds, and runs a sub 4.4-second 40-yard dash. He is a complete wide receiver who is just a really good football player.

Egbuka should be a first-round selection in the NFL Draft. If he goes to a team like the Cincinnati Bengals or Pittsburgh Steelers where he could step in and be an immediate impact player as the WR2 to Jamaar Chase or George Pickens, fantasy managers could be really excited about him at this point in your rookie draft.

1.11 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State

Henderson was a breakout star as a freshman – rushing for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns – which had fantasy owners very excited about his future. Since then he has struggled to stay healthy. If he came out last year, there was a chance he might have been the RB1 in that draft class.

Henderson has shared the backfield with Judkins this season, which has caused his production to take a hit. He has 503 yards and four touchdowns with 7.0 yards per carry in eight games.

Henderson is going to have some teams excited about his ability. Henderson can do it all. If teams feel like his health isn’t going to be an issue, he could go anywhere from RB2-RB5 with draft capital in the second or third round. Depending on his landing spot, he could move up or down this list. The ability is absolutely there.

1.12 – Colston Loveland, TE Michigan

The Michigan offense has been in shambles this season, but Loveland has been one of the few bright spots. After catching 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns during Michigan’s National Championship season last year, he has followed that up with 49 catches for 523 yards and four touchdowns in just eight games this year. NFL teams won’t be scared off by the lack of the Wolverine’s offensive success, but will be more impressed by what Loveland has been able to accomplish despite the team’s success.

Loveland is 6-5, 245 pounds. He has the perfect size and skillset to be a top receiving weapon at the next level. The recent success of early drafted tight ends in the NFL Draft should entice a team to make Loveland a first-round pick.

Loveland is the type of tight end that fits well in today’s NFL. Loveland can be a productive TE and a team’s top two receiving threat. Where he lands in drafts, and how big the league’s tight end premium is will determine how high Loveland goes in fantasy rookie drafts.

2.01 – Isaiah Bond, WR Texas

Bond has a chance to be a first-round pick in the draft. The former Alabama player is in his first season at Texas. Bond has struggled with some injuries this season, which has caused him to have some inconsistent performances in 2024.

Bond can be an elite slot receiver. Bond has decent size at 5-11, 180 pounds. He is extremely explosive. He has legit 4.28-second 40-yard dash speed. He could be another wide receiver that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be eyeing in the first round. He can step in right away and contribute at the NFL level.

2.02 – Kaleb Johnson, RB Iowa

Johnson was probably the least well known RB in this draft class coming into the 2024 season. But Johnson has been a beast this season for a flawed offensive team.

Johnson is a guy that has a chance to continue to move up draft boards as the season moves along.

2.03 – Tyler Warren, TE Penn State

Warren absolutely has played his way into a possible NFL first-round pick. He has done a little bit of everything for Penn State this season. Warren has been so impressive this year that he has a chance to jump up and become the TE1 in this draft class. If Warren tests really well at the combine he could climb in the draft.

The history of really good tight ends coming out of Happy Valley over the last decade should work in Warren’s favor. He projects as a “Y” tight end with the versatility to be an “F” at the next level. He can offer true mismatch potential in the passing game. He has the ability to flex out wide, work from the slot, or operate in-line. It gives him three-down value in multiple offensive schemes. His catch radius and body control make him a viable security blanket and red zone threat at the next level.

2.04 – Tre Harris, WR Ole Miss

Harris started his career at Louisiana Tech. He transitioned from a dual-threat quarterback to wide receiver and excelled. Harris had early success there and was able to translate that to the Power 4 level his senior season.

Harris has been Ole Miss Quarterback Jaxson Dart’s top target the past two seasons. Harris has gone for more than 900 yards receiving three straight seasons. He already has 59 catches for 987 yards and six touchdowns in just seven games this season.

At 6-3, 210 pounds Harris has the makings of an “X” receiver at the NFL level. He can go up and get 50-50 balls. He has a nice catch radius and is a big time red zone threat. Harris looks like a second or third round pick in the NFL Draft.

2.05 – Drew Allar, QB Penn State

Allar is going to be a player that is going to be extremely divisive among NFL personnel and fantasy managers alike. Allar has all the skill set, size, and big arm that gets NFL executives excited.

The production has been an issue. Penn State has been a bad offensive program for years. Allar has improved in 2024, but the tape isn’t all good. Some NFL people will give him a pass on some things because of his lack of weapons. Someone is going to see the 20-year-old quarterback as the next possible Josh Allen project that can pan out to be a top five quarterback eventually.

2.06 – Woody Marks, RB USC

Marks showed earlier in his career that he was a good pass catcher out of the backfield while at Mississippi State. He transferred to USC this season and has really developed in a more NFL-style offense.

Marks has really helped his draft stock this season. He has been used for the first time as a between the tackles runner. Has he done enough to significantly move up draft boards? I think so. Even if he is a fourth-round NFL pick, he can step in and be a solid running back. He is similar to Ray Davis in last year’s draft, an older prospect who runs hard and has underrated receiving skills. I want all the Marks I can get in the middle of the second round of rookie drafts.

2.07 – Ollie Gordon, RB Oklahoma State

The former Doak Walker winner had a huge sophomore year with 1,732 yards rushing and over 2,000 total yards to lead the nation. He and the Cowboys have struggled a bit this season. He has been held to 593 yards and nine touchdowns in nine games.

Gordon is 6-2, 225 pounds, and runs a sub 4.5-second 40-yard dash. He has good contact balance and the ability to bounce off the initial tackle. He caught 39 passes for more than 300 yards during his sophomore season. He will need a good pre-draft process to maintain his ranking in a loaded draft class. If he ends up having an offseason like former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen did last year, I could see him dropping in drafts.

2.08 – Quinn Ewers, QB Texas

There are still people holding out hope that Ewers eventually puts it all together and eventually lives up to his massive potential. Ewers was one of the highest-rated quarterbacks ever to come out of high school, but he has struggled to be consistent in college. He has shown some big-time ability in his time at Texas.

Ewers is going to have an NFL team that can’t look past the pedigree and decides that they think they can help him put it all together. And just like that NFL GM thinks he is worth taking a shot on, he is most likely going to be worth taking a shot on for fantasy managers.

2.09 – Tez Johnson, WR Oregon

Johnson is an undersized wide receiver who has been extremely productive in college. He started at Troy before transferring to Oregon. The recent success of smaller wide receivers like Jordan Addison should help move Johnson up draft boards. Johnson is 5-10, 165 pounds, but also runs a blazing 4.33-second 40-yard dash.

At Oregon, Johnson set a single-season record with 86 receptions, accumulating 1,182 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023 with current Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix throwing him the football. Johnson has continued to be productive with Dillon Gabriel at quarterback this season, showing the league that he could do it again.

2.10 – Evan Stewart, WR Oregon

There is a chance that Stewart doesn’t declare for the draft this season and instead returns to Oregon to raise his draft stock. Stewart has all the ability in the world, but he hasn’t always shown it at the collegiate level. Stewart transferred to play for the Ducks after struggling on an inept Texas A&M offense.

Stewart has first-round talent, but I’m not sure he has shown the league enough yet in college to be taken that high. If he came out this season, I would expect him to be a late second to early third round pick.

2.11 – Trevor Etienne, RB Georgia

His brother Travis Etienne is a former Florida star who now plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor followed his brother Travis to Gainesville to star for the Gators. He later transferred to Georgia.

The Bulldogs offense has struggled somewhat this season after losing some talent to the NFL last season. Etienne has been the most consistent player on the offense. He doesn’t have the statistical output that some of the other running backs in this draft class have, but he does have good genes and is playing at the top tier of college football.

2.12 – Dylan Sampson, RB Tennessee

Tennessee has been putting out some solid running back prospects lately. Sampson seems to be a Jaylon Wright clone, who went in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins.

Sampson is a bit undersized at 5-11, 190-pounds, but he has blazing 4.35-second 40-yard dash speed. He has had a big season in his first year as a starter for the Volunteers. He has 980 yards and 19 touchdowns in eight games.
