Past/Present/Future Rookie Pick Value: 2025 Late 2nd

It’s almost that time of year again: rookie drafts are on the horizon. Rebuilders are full of glee as they hoard their picks, while contenders are scheming how they can pry some of those picks away, and dynasty players everywhere are chomping at the bit to draft their favorite prospect.

In this series, the Dynasty League Football team will be taking a look at four-pick sections of a dynasty rookie draft to give a comprehensive view of those selections by analyzing the consensus from the past, the potential options for this year, and what the picks are worth on the trade market. For this series, we’ll be focusing on superflex formats.

Historical Consensus Picks 9-12

2024

• 2.09 – Xavier Legette, WR CAR
• 2.10 – Devontez Walker, WR BAL

2022

This list is perhaps a reminder of how low rookie hit rates can be outside of the premium selections. There are, however, two windmill dunks in this group: Rashee Rice and James Cook.
