Off-Season Mock Drafts: Where the Rookies Fit in Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft

As the NFL draws nearer and the combine results are settled in everyone’s minds, this is always a good time to see where the dynasty community thinks the rookies fit in among the veterans. I pulled up DLF’s ADP from February, where we got to see where the rookies slot in among their soon-to-be peers in the NFL for the first time. It’s useful to gauge what value others place on the rookies, and you can revisit this post-NFL draft to see who moved up and down. It’s also useful as a trade tool as you get an idea of potential player values relative to one another as well. So let’s get into it.

Quarterbacks

I skipped over the QB1s, as there were no rookies among them. Cam Ward is the highest rookie and is currently a low-end QB2; not great, but also not a shock, considering this is widely viewed as a down rookie quarterback class.

While Ward was the lone top-24 rookie, we see several rookies in the QB3 range. Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, and Will Howard are all currently QB3s. I could see Sanders and Dart possibly squeezing into the low-end QB2 range while Milroe and Howard fall out of QB3 entirely. As previously mentioned, this isn’t a great class, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to get any of the incoming signal callers on my rosters.
