The 2025 NFL Draft is officially over, and dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts will be starting soon. The landing spots for many of this year’s prospects have caused them to rise and fall drastically in my rankings, so let’s dive into a four-round superflex rookie mock draft!
We’ll also be outlining some of the biggest risers and fallers in each rookie draft round, titles dependent on their rankings before the NFL Draft and their position after being selected by their new teams. This will hopefully help you navigate your dynasty league’s rookie draft!

Biggest Round 1 Riser: Colston Loveland
Chicago selected Colston Loveland with the tenth-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There are a few reasons why I really like this landing spot. Firstly, head coach Ben Johnson seems to be developing a pass-heavy offense based on the pieces he’s brought in this offseason.
Wideouts Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore have been joined by rookie receiver Luther Burden III, the offensive line has been bolstered with pass-blockers, and Loveland adds a strong pass-catching presence to a solid tight end room. The Bears also didn’t draft a running back until the seventh round, even though the position was one of their biggest needs.
Loveland’s situation in Chicago also reminds me of when Brock Bowers landed in Las Vegas last season. The team already had a solid tight end in place with Michael Mayer, but Bowers found no trouble in taking over on passing downs. I think this will work out similarly with Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet.
Loveland is a fantastic receiving option at the tight end position, with great route-running skills, strong hands, and serious athletic ability. He will be one of second-year quarterback Caleb Williams’ top targets in 2025, and being the first tight end off of the board in a loaded class will only help his draft stock.
Biggest Round 1 Faller: Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka falls down my rookie rankings into the later first round. This was one of the most confusing landing spots in the entire draft. Tampa Bay adds a talented receiver prospect, but the position was possibly their best and deepest heading into the draft.
With veteran Mike Evans still producing and Chris Godwin signed to a multi-year extension after a lost season in 2024, Egbuka will have serious competition for targets early in his career. Second-year wideout Jalen McMillan will also take up a role in the offense after a strong rookie campaign that included seven receiving touchdowns in his final five regular season contests.
Tampa Bay also had holes in their roster on the defensive side of the ball that they could’ve addressed in Round 1. Still, they decided to take the talented slot receiver from Ohio State to be the third or fourth option in their passing game.
I like Egbuka as a prospect; he’s well-rounded, athletic, and experienced. I think he will have the chance to compete for more targets later on, but for now, this remains one of my least favorite landing spots from the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Round Two
2.01 - Luther Burden III
(WR, CHI)
2.02 - Jaxson Dart
(QB, NYG)
2.03 - Jayden Higgins
(WR, HOU)
2.04 - RJ Harvey
(RB, DEN)
2.05 - Jack Bech
(WR, LV)
2.06 - Tre Harris
(WR, LAC)
2.07 - Mason Taylor
(TE, NYJ)
2.08 - Cam Skattebo
(RB, NYG)
2.09 - Kyle Williams
(WR, NE)
2.10 - Jaylin Noel
(WR, HOU)
2.11 - Terrance Ferguson
(TE, LAR)
2.12 - Dylan Sampson
(RB, CLE)
Biggest Round 2 Riser: RJ Harvey
Denver’s selection of UCF product RJ Harvey was one of the biggest surprises during Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Harvey will walk into a fantastic landing spot with plenty of vacated carries and a strong offensive line to run behind. He is set up in a position to succeed immediately and even has an argument to be selected in the first round of dynasty rookie drafts.
Harvey is an explosive runner with agility that allows him to accelerate quickly. It also helps that he’s built like a bowling ball at a height of 5’8” and a weight of 205 lbs, making him much harder to tackle.
His weaknesses as a prospect include his tendency to bounce runs to the outside a bit too often, and some scouts questioned his long speed. However, Denver is getting a strong running back and solid burst in a great situation.
Biggest Round 2 Faller: Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III surprisingly fell to the second round in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was scooped up by the Chicago Bears, who already have a strong group of receivers, making this a less-than-ideal landing spot for Burden.
The Missouri product is a versatile receiver who can play on the outside, in the slot, and even in the backfield. His athleticism and ability to get yards after the catch will bring a new dimension of explosiveness to Chicago’s offense, but the wide receiver position wasn’t exactly a big need.
Burden will struggle to get consistent volume if he isn’t able to earn the trust of Caleb Williams early on. I still think Burden is worth an early second-round pick, but his dynasty outlook has taken a fall.
Round Three
3.01 - Jaydon Blue
(RB, DAL)
3.02 - Elijah Arroyo
(TE, SEA)
3.03 - Jalen Milroe
(QB, SEA)
3.04 - Tyler Shough
(QB, NO)
3.05 - Bhayshul Tuten
(RB, JAX)
3.06 - Shedeur Sanders
(QB, CLE)
3.07 - Elic Ayomanor
(WR, TEN)
3.08 - Harold Fannin Jr.
(TE, CLE)
3.09 - Pat Bryant
(WR, DEN)
3.10 - Jalen Royals
(WR, KC)
3.11 - Isaac Teslaa
(WR, DET)
3.12 - Will Howard
(QB, PIT)
Biggest Round 3 Riser: Tyler Shough
This was, without a doubt, one of the most perplexing selections of the entire draft class. Tyler Shough will turn 26 early in the 2025 NFL season, so he isn’t exactly the youngest prospect. New Orleans also had holes to fill across their entire roster and chose to select an old quarterback that they likely could have gotten a round or two later.
Shough is a decent quarterback with solid tools and the potential to develop into an NFL starter, but I just don’t understand the logic behind drafting him so early unless they heard legitimate buzz that other teams were looking to select him around the same range.
That being said, Shough is an obvious riser in my rankings because the Saints spent a quality draft pick to bring him in. In superflex, quarterbacks have a lot of value. If Shough ends up being the quarterback of the future in New Orleans, his age will no longer matter. He’s a decent pick in the third round.
Biggest Round 3 Faller: Shedeur Sanders
This one is painfully obvious. The entire universe expected Shedeur Sanders to be a first-round pick, only to see him slide to the fifth round and be selected by a team that had already taken a quarterback two rounds prior. Sanders has been drafted into a crowded quarterback room, where he will have to fight an uphill battle for the starting job.
I think Sanders has a decent chance to win that competition, but it cannot be overstated how disappointing this landing spot has become. Early reports have suggested that Sanders did not impress teams during pre-draft interviews, but going from a Round 1 prospect to a Day 3 pick is an extreme change in ranking.
Round Four
4.01 - Devin Neal
(RB, NO)
4.02 - Woody Marks
(RB, HOU)
4.03 - Jordan James
(RB, SF)
4.04 - Gunnar Helm
(TE, TEN)
4.05 - Savion Williams
(WR, GB)
4.06 - Tai Felton
(WR, MIN)
4.07 - DJ Giddens
(RB, IND)
4.08 - Tahj Brooks
(RB, CIN)
4.09 - Jarquez Hunter
(RB, LAR)
4.10 - Trevor Etienne
(RB, CAR)
4.11 - Brashard Smith
(RB, KC)
4.12 - Ollie Gordon
(RB, MIA)
Biggest Round 4 Riser: Tai Felton
Tai Felton was somewhat off of my dynasty radar before Minnesota decided to select him in the third round of this year’s draft. The Vikings already have a fantastic trio of receivers, including Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Nailor. Not many believed that they would take a receiver in the third round, but here we are.
Felton is a speedy wideout who is elusive after the catch. While not the biggest receiver, he is talented enough to contribute in Minnesota, even as the team’s fourth or fifth target. If he develops into the team’s third wide receiver, he could be fantasy-relevant in a few seasons.
Biggest Round 4 Faller: Devin Neal
Devin Neal was a player who I expected to go during the early rounds of Day 3 but instead fell to the sixth round. He ends up in a good landing spot with New Orleans but still falls down my rankings due to how late he was selected.
Neal was one of my favorite running back prospects during the pre-draft process. His patience and vision as a runner make him a lot of fun to watch. While he doesn’t have great top-end speed, his bursts of agility help him out in that area. Neal also showed the ability to take on a large workload in an efficient manner at Kansas.
I think there is definite upside for Neal, but his draft capital makes me question just how valuable he can be to an NFL team.
