2025 Rookie Rankings

  1. Ashton Jeanty (RB) – Las Vegas Raiders – The Raiders made Jeanty a top-10 pick, signaling their intent to make him the immediate offensive centerpiece. His elite college production and dynamic three-down skillset, characterized by exceptional elusiveness and receiving ability, make him a perfect fit for the modern NFL. He enters a Raiders backfield lacking established high-end talent, giving him a clear path to a massive workload from Week 1. Expect offensive coordinator Chip Kelly to utilize his versatility frequently in a potentially fast-paced scheme. Jeanty projects as an immediate high-end RB2 with clear RB1 overall upside in fantasy. He is the locked-in 1.01 in rookie drafts and a cornerstone dynasty asset for years to come. Consider him one of the safest bets in this rookie class.
  2.  Omarion Hampton (RB) – Los Angeles Chargers – Landing with the Chargers as a first-round pick places Hampton in an ideal situation under head coach Jim Harbaugh, who emphasizes a strong running game. Hampton’s powerful, downhill running style fits perfectly with the team’s desired identity. While veteran Najee Harris was signed to a one-year deal, Hampton’s superior talent and draft investment suggest he will command significant touches early and likely take over as the clear lead back by mid-season or 2026 at the latest. His blend of size, power, and adequate speed gives him a high floor as a volume-based RB2. The offensive scheme fit raises his ceiling, making him a top-3 rookie pick with long-term RB1 potential in dynasty leagues. He should provide immediate fantasy value.
  3. Travis Hunter (WR/CB) – Jacksonville Jaguars – Jacksonville made a bold move trading up to select Hunter 2nd overall, banking on his unprecedented two-way talent. The team has stated an initial focus on offense, where Hunter’s incredible athleticism, ball skills, and fluidity make him a potential nightmare matchup. Playing alongside Brian Thomas Jr. gives the Jaguars a potentially lethal receiving duo for Trevor Lawrence. While his ultimate snap allocation between offense and defense remains a slight variable, his potential impact as a receiver alone justifies this high draft slot. For fantasy, he possesses arguably the highest ceiling in the class if his offensive role solidifies. He’s a risk/reward pick near the top of rookie drafts with league-winning upside.
  4. Tetairoa McMillan (WR) – Carolina Panthers – The Panthers secured their potential WR1 by drafting the 6’5″ McMillan 8th overall. He steps into a situation desperately needing a reliable, high-volume target for quarterback Bryce Young. McMillan’s massive catch radius, strong hands, and polished route-running give him the tools to command targets immediately. He profiles as a classic ‘X’ receiver capable of winning contested catches and working all levels of the field. Compared favorably to players like Tee Higgins, McMillan has one of the clearest paths to significant rookie year volume among all rookie receivers. He’s a top-tier dynasty WR asset and should be a top-5 rookie pick.
  5. TreVeyon Henderson (RB) – New England Patriots – Henderson brings his explosive speed and agility to New England after being selected on Day 2. He offers a different dimension compared to the more physical Rhamondre Stevenson, potentially forming a potent thunder-and-lightning duo. While Patriots backfields under previous regimes were notoriously unpredictable, Henderson’s talent gives him a strong chance to earn significant work, especially on passing downs and outside runs. He could take over the lead role if Stevenson falters or moves on after his contract year. Consider Henderson a high-upside RB2/3 for dynasty leagues, requiring some patience but offering potential league-winning weeks if his role expands.
  6. Quinshon Judkins (RB) – Cleveland Browns – Judkins lands in Cleveland’s effective zone-running scheme as a Day 2 pick, bringing his powerful frame and proven production. However, he joins a crowded backfield featuring Jerome Ford and fellow rookie Dylan Sampson, with Nick Chubb’s future also looming. Judkins’ talent is undeniable, and he could immediately push for goal-line carries and early-down work. The competition makes projecting his immediate volume difficult, capping his Year 1 fantasy ceiling. He profiles as a high-upside dynasty stash whose value could soar if the backfield clears up in 2026 or injuries strike.
  7. Emeka Egbuka (WR) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Egbuka, drafted by Tampa Bay as a Day 1 pick, brings his polished route-running and reliable hands to the Buccaneers’ offense. Primarily projecting as a slot receiver, he offers a high floor due to his technical refinement and ability to create yards after the catch. He faces immediate target competition from established veterans Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, which may limit his rookie year production. However, Godwin’s contract status and age could open up significant opportunities in 2026 and beyond. Egbuka is a solid dynasty investment with long-term WR2/3 potential in PPR leagues.
  8. Tyler Warren (TE) – Indianapolis Colts – Warren received significant draft capital investment from the Colts, selected 14th overall. His elite size (6’6″, 257 lbs) and phenomenal final college season production provide immense theoretical upside at the tight end position. Landing with the athletic Anthony Richardson offers a potentially dynamic QB-TE connection, especially in the red zone. While Warren is an older prospect (23) and broke out late, the combination of physical tools, draft capital, and QB pairing makes him arguably the top dynasty TE in this class. He has the potential to become a difference-maker for fantasy managers.
  9. Kaleb Johnson (RB) – Pittsburgh Steelers – Johnson adds needed size and physicality to the Steelers’ backfield as a Day 2 selection. He projects as a power complement to the smaller, shiftier Jaylen Warren. With Najee Harris gone, Johnson will compete for early-down carries and potentially goal-line work within Pittsburgh’s run-focused offense. His value hinges on his ability to earn a consistent role in the committee. Consider him a solid dynasty depth piece with touchdown-dependent upside.
  10.  RJ Harvey (RB) – Denver Broncos – The darling of the draft, Harvey was picked 60th overall. Harvey brings his speed and receiving prowess from UCF to Denver. Head coach Sean Payton has a history of effectively utilizing pass-catching backs, suggesting Harvey could quickly carve out a role in the Broncos’ offense. He’ll likely compete with Audric Estime for touches but offers distinct skills as a receiver and change-of-pace runner. His PPR upside makes him an intriguing selection in the late first or early second round of rookie drafts.
  11. Colston Loveland (TE) – Chicago Bears – The Bears moved up in the draft and invested the 10th overall pick in the young and athletic Loveland. He joins an exciting offense featuring QB Caleb Williams, WRs DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and fellow rookie Luther Burden III. While target competition will be fierce, Loveland’s draft capital signals the Bears’ belief in his high ceiling. He’ll likely share snaps with Cole Kmet initially but possesses the traits to develop into a dynamic receiving threat and long-term starter in a potentially potent offense.
  12. Matthew Golden (WR) – Green Bay Packers – Golden lands in Green Bay’s receiver-friendly environment as the 23rd overall pick. Known for his speed, crisp routes, and reliable hands, he fits well with Jordan Love’s skillset. The Packers have a deep but relatively unproven young WR corps (Reed, Doubs, Wicks, Watson), giving Golden a legitimate chance to earn significant playing time early. His first-round draft capital and potential role in a good offense make him a strong dynasty asset with WR2 upside.
  13.  Luther Burden III (WR) – Chicago Bears – Chicago added another weapon for Caleb Williams by drafting Burden on Day 2. He is an explosive playmaker, particularly dangerous with the ball in his hands after the catch. He likely projects to significant snaps from the slot, complementing DJ Moore and Rome Odunze on the outside. While targets need to be earned in a crowded room, Burden’s dynamic ability fits perfectly with what new OC Ben Johnson wants to do. He offers considerable upside in dynasty leagues.
  14.  Cam Ward (QB) – Tennessee Titans – As the first overall pick, Ward is the Titans’ designated quarterback of the future and expected immediate starter. He possesses exciting physical tools, including a strong arm and good mobility, allowing him to make plays off-script. However, concerns about inconsistent mechanics and college turnover/fumble issues add risk to his profile. In Superflex leagues, his guaranteed opportunity and rushing potential make him a top-5 rookie pick. In 1QB leagues, he’s a QB2 with upside but less certainty than previous No. 1 overall QB selections.
  15. Tre Harris (WR) – Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers added Harris, on Day 2, to bolster their receiving corps for Justin Herbert. Harris offers good size (6’2″) and showed reliable hands and contested-catch ability in college. He’ll compete with Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and potentially Josh Palmer for targets. Harris has the potential to develop into a dependable outside receiver and chain-mover within the Chargers’ offense, offering solid WR2/3 potential in dynasty.
  16. Jayden Higgins (WR) – Houston Texans – Landing in Houston’s explosive offense as a Day 2 pick is a significant boost for Higgins’ fantasy value. The big-bodied receiver (6’4″) provides C.J. Stroud with another large target, particularly in the red zone. While he slots in behind established star Nico Collins, Higgins could earn immediate snaps and offers significant upside due to Tank Dell’s injury last season. He’s an excellent high-upside dynasty stash in a prime situation.
  17. Cam Skattebo (RB) – New York Giants – Skattebo brings his unique, versatile skillset and tenacious running style to the Giants. With New York spending the 105th pick on Skattebo, they obviously don’t doubt how his game will translate to the NFL. He joins a backfield where opportunity exists. Don’t be surprised if he trots out week 1 as RB1 for New York. Skattebo’s toughness, receiving ability, and potential short-yardage prowess give him multiple paths to earning a significant role. He’s an intriguing 2nd-3rd round rookie pick with sneaky upside if he impresses the coaching staff.
  18. Jack Bech (WR) – Las Vegas Raiders – Bech teams up with Geno Smith after being drafted by the Raiders 58th overall. His size and versatility allow him to play outside or as a big slot. He’ll compete for targets behind Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers, potentially carving out a role as a reliable possession receiver and red-zone option. His fantasy value depends on earning consistent targets.
  19. Jaxson Dart (QB) – New York Giants – The Giants invested a late first-round pick (25th overall) in Dart, securing a potential QB of the future. He possesses intriguing physical tools with a good arm and plus mobility but needs refinement in processing and decision-making. He is expected to sit behind veteran Russell Wilson in 2025, making him primarily a dynasty asset. In Superflex leagues, he’s a valuable taxi squad player with long-term starting potential if he develops as hoped.
  20. Jaylin Noel (WR) – Houston Texans – Houston doubled down on Iowa State receivers, adding the quick and shifty Noel on Day 2 alongside Higgins. Noel projects primarily as a slot receiver, where he’ll compete with Tank Dell(once he returns from injury) for snaps. His short-area quickness, YAC ability, and fit within the Texans’ scheme make him an exciting prospect. Like Higgins, he lands in an ideal offensive environment, offering significant PPR upside if he earns a regular role.
  21. Bhayshul Tuten (RB) – Jacksonville Jaguars – Tuten lands in Jacksonville as a Day 3 pick (Round 4), positioning himself as the primary backup to Travis Etienne. There is a chance that he supplants Etienne as the lead back after Etienne struggled last season. He showcased good speed and receiving ability in college, making him a potentially valuable RB on day 1.
  22. Kyle Williams (WR) – New England Patriots – Williams brings his speed and big-play ability to a Patriots offense needing weapons, drafted at pick 69. He has the potential to operate as a field-stretching ‘Z’ receiver for Drake Maye. The opportunity for snaps is certainly there in New England’s relatively unproven WR room. Williams needs to demonstrate consistency but offers boom/bust potential as a late-round rookie pick.
  23. Dylan Sampson (RB) – Cleveland Browns – Sampson adds speed and receiving skills to the Browns’ backfield as the first pick of Day 3. In a crowded room with Judkins and Ford, Sampson’s clearest path to playing time is likely as a third-down/satellite back. His smaller size might limit his early-down work, but his explosiveness could make him valuable in PPR formats if he carves out that specific role in Cleveland’s offense.
  24. Mason Taylor (TE) – New York Jets – The athletic LSU tight end lands with the Jets as a Day 2 selection. Taylor offers seam-stretching ability and receiving upside. His development will be key, but the potential connection with Justin Fields makes him an intriguing dynasty prospect at a thin position.
  25. Elijah Arroyo (TE) – Seattle Seahawks – Seattle invested Day 2 draft capital in the athletic but injury-prone Arroyo. He possesses significant receiving upside if he can stay healthy and refine his game. He’ll learn behind Noah Fant initially but could develop into a long-term starter for the Seahawks. His health record makes him a risk, but the potential reward is high for dynasty managers willing to be patient.
  26. Elic Ayomanor (WR) – Tennessee Titans – The Titans added Ayomanor’s size (6’2″) and contested-catch ability in Round 4. He provides rookie QB Cam Ward with a large target on the outside. He’ll compete for playing time immediately in a WR room featuring veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, plus fellow rookies Chimere Dike and Xavier Restrepo. Ayomanor offers intriguing developmental upside.
  27. Jalen Royals (WR) – Kansas City Chiefs – Any WR drafted by the Chiefs warrants attention, and Royals lands there in Round 4. He was uber productive in college and joins a room with established stars (Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, and Travis Kelce) but also opportunity behind them. Royals needs to quickly build rapport with Patrick Mahomes to earn targets, but the offensive environment provides a massive ceiling if he hits.
  28. Jaydon Blue (RB) – Dallas Cowboys – Dallas selected Blue on Day 3 to add depth to their backfield. With uncertainty surrounding the lead role (Dallas lost Rico Dowdle but signed vets Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in the offseason), Blue has an opportunity to compete for carries. His college tape showed flashes of explosiveness. He’s a worthwhile late-round rookie pick given the potential opportunity in a typically productive Cowboys run game.
  29.  Isaac TeSlaa (WR) – Detroit Lions – The big-bodied TeSlaa lands in Detroit’s efficient offense. The Lions invested heavily in him by using pick 70 on him. He’ll compete for snaps as an outside receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. His size offers red-zone potential, making him a developmental prospect with upside if Williams doesn’t solidify the WR2 role.
  30. Jalen Milroe (QB) – Seattle Seahawks – Milroe brings his elite rushing ability and developmental passing traits to Seattle as a Day 3 pick. He’ll sit behind Sam Darnold initially, learning the pro game. His fantasy value is entirely tied to his Konami code potential; if he ever earns starts, his rushing could make him a fantasy star. He’s a high-upside taxi squad candidate in Superflex leagues, but his passing development is crucial.
  31. Devin Neal (RB) – New Orleans Saints – The productive Kansas Jayhawk lands with the Saints, drafted in the 6th round. He joins Alvin Kamara (aging) and Kendre Miller (injury concerns), giving him a path to earning rotational work, especially on passing downs. Neal is a well-rounded back who could provide immediate depth and potentially grow into a larger role down the line. Solid late-round rookie value.
  32. Harold Fannin Jr. (TE) – Cleveland Browns – Cleveland adds Fannin, investing high draft capital (Pick 67), to provide depth behind David Njoku. Fannin showed receiving ability in college and fits the mold of athletic TEs the Browns favor. He’ll likely start as the TE2, competing for snaps in multi-TE sets, offering long-term developmental potential in a good offense for tight ends.
  33. Tyler Shough (QB) – New Orleans Saints – The well-traveled, experienced Shough lands in New Orleans as a Day 2 pick. He possesses good size and arm talent but has battled injuries and inconsistency. He projects as the primary backup to Derek Carr, giving him potential spot-start value in Superflex leagues and making him one of the more valuable QB handcuffs from this class. Who knows, he could even start day 1.
  34. Terrance Ferguson (TE) – Los Angeles Rams – Ferguson lands in an excellent spot with the Rams, drafted 46th overrall. With Tyler Higbee recovering from a major injury, Ferguson has a clear opportunity to compete with Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen for immediate playing time in Sean McVay’s TE-friendly offense. His athleticism and receiving ability make him an exciting prospect with potential for early fantasy relevance. Ferguson was identified as one of our TE sleepers before the draft. He could end up as one of the most valuable rookie TEs.
  35. DJ Giddens (RB) – Indianapolis Colts – The Colts added Giddens in Round 5 to serve as depth behind star Jonathan Taylor. Giddens was productive at Kansas State and profiles as a capable backup who can handle touches if needed. His primary value lies as a handcuff to Taylor within a solid Colts rushing attack. He needs an injury ahead of him to become fantasy relevant.
  36. Shedeur Sanders (QB) – Cleveland Browns – One of the draft’s most intriguing storylines sees Sanders land in Cleveland via a Day 3 pick (Round 5). He brings polish, accuracy, and pedigree but faces a complex QB room with Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel. Sanders likely competes to be the long-term backup, offering significant dynasty appeal if he develops and eventually gets a starting opportunity, either in Cleveland or elsewhere.
  37. Trevor Etienne (RB) – Carolina Panthers – Travis’s younger brother lands with the Panthers in Round 4. Etienne is known for his receiving skills and quickness, adding a different element to a backfield featuring Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. He should immediately compete for the third-down role and could earn more touches if he impresses, offering PPR upside.
  38. Pat Bryant (WR) – Denver Broncos – Denver added Bryant’s size (6’3″) on Day 2 (Round 3). He provides Sean Payton with a bigger target to potentially complement Marvin Mims Jr. and Courtland Sutton. Bryant will compete for outside receiver snaps and could develop into a reliable possession target for Bo Nix.
  39. Jaylin Lane (WR) – Washington Commanders – Washington drafted the speedy Lane in Round 4. He projects as a potential slot receiver and return specialist. The Commanders’ WR room behind Terry McLaurin is relatively open, giving Lane a chance to compete for snaps and earn a role with his quickness.
  40. Jordan Watkins (WR) – San Francisco 49ers – Watkins joins the potent 49ers offense as a 4th Round pick. He offers the Niners another speedy WR option. He ran a 4.37 40 yd dash at the combine. It will be difficult to earn playing time with all of the weapons around him.
  41. Gunnar Helm (TE) – Tennessee Titans – Helm adds depth to the Titans’ TE room as a Day 3 pick (Round 4). He’ll compete with Josh Whyle for snaps behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo. Primarily a depth piece with limited immediate fantasy appeal.
  42. Tory Horton (WR) – Seattle Seahawks – Horton brings his collegiate production to Seattle’s deep receiver room as a Day 3 selection. He faces significant target competition behind Cooper Kupp, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Horton will need to excel on special teams and impress in limited opportunities to carve out a role early in his career.
  43. Tai Felton (WR) – Minnesota Vikings – Felton joins the Vikings as a Day 3 pick, adding depth behind superstars Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. His path to targets is blocked initially, making him likely reliant on special teams play to secure a roster spot. Long-term value depends on future changes to the Vikings’ WR hierarchy.
  44. Savion Williams (WR) – Green Bay Packers – Williams adds another big body (6’4″) to the Packers’ young receiver room, surprisingly drafted at pick 87 (Green Bay historically does not invest a ton of draft capital in WRs). His contested-catch skills provide a different flavor compared to some of Green Bay’s other receivers. He’ll compete for snaps in a crowded but talented group, offering red-zone potential if he earns targets.
  45. Jordan James (RB) – San Francisco 49ers – Landing in Kyle Shanahan’s system is always a boost for RBs, and James arrives as a Day 3 pick. He’s a physical runner who will compete with Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason for backup duties behind Christian McCaffrey. Given the injury history and system productivity, James is a valuable handcuff stash in dynasty.
  46. Jarquez Hunter (RB) – Los Angeles Rams – Hunter lands with the Rams as Day 3 depth behind Kyren Williams and rookie Blake Corum. He showed versatility at Auburn but faces a tough path to touches in a potentially potent one-two punch ahead of him. Likely limited to special teams or injury replacement role initially.
  47. Ollie Gordon II (RB) – Miami Dolphins – The 2023 Doak Walker winner brings his unique, upright running style to Miami’s speed-focused offense as a Day 3 pick (Round 4). He joins a crowded backfield with De’Von Achane, Alexander Mattison, and Jaylen Wright. Gordon offers a different pace, but his role is unclear; intriguing late-round flier due to the offensive environment.
  48. Tahj Brooks (RB) – Cincinnati Bengals – Brooks adds a physical presence to the Bengals’ backfield as a late Day 3 pick (Round 6). He’ll compete with Zack Moss and Chase Brown for carries, potentially carving out a niche as a short-yardage specialist or grinder. His fantasy value is likely touchdown-dependent.
  49. Woody Marks (RB) – Houston Texans – The versatile Mississippi State product lands in Houston as a Day 3 pick. Known for his receiving ability, Marks will compete for the RB3 role behind Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. His pass-catching skills give him potential PPR value if he earns snaps.
  50. Brashard Smith (RB) – Kansas City Chiefs – Smith, a converted WR with excellent athleticism, lands in Kansas City. Andy Reid could utilize his speed and receiving skills creatively, potentially in a Jerick McKinnon-type role. He’ll compete for touches behind Isiah Pacheco but offers exciting upside in this offense.
  51. Damien Martinez (RB) – Seattle Seahawks – Martinez adds yet another talented back to Seattle’s stable (Drafted No. 223 Overall). He’s a physical runner joining Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet. The path to playing time is difficult, but he provides excellent depth and could step up if injuries occur.
  52. Will Howard (QB) – Pittsburgh Steelers – Pittsburgh adds the experienced Howard as a late Day 3 pick (Round 6). He provides QB2 depth behind Mason Rudolph. He has minimal short-term fantasy value but could possibly take over as the starter in 2025 if Rudolph fails to succeed.
  53. Kyle Monangai (RB) – Chicago Bears – Monangai joins the Bears as a very late Day 3 pick (Round 7). The productive Rutgers back faces an uphill battle for a roster spot behind D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson. He likely needs to star on special teams to stick.
  54. Oronde Gadsden II (TE) – Los Angeles Chargers – Gadsden, a TE/WR hybrid, lands with the Chargers at pick 165. His athletic profile is intriguing for Jim Harbaugh’s offense, but he needs development. He’ll compete for snaps behind established TEs, offering long-term upside if he refines his game.
  55. Chimere Dike (WR) – Tennessee Titans – Dike brings reliability and special teams value to the Titans (Round 4 Pick). He joins a revamped WR room and will compete for snaps, likely starting as WR4/5. His special teams ability gives him a good shot at making the roster, with potential to contribute on offense down the line.
  56. Arian Smith (WR) – New York Jets – The Jets drafted Smith on Day 3 (Round 4), betting on his world-class speed. He’s purely a developmental deep threat at this stage and needs to stay healthy and dramatically improve his route running to become fantasy relevant. Consider him a taxi squad lottery ticket.
  57. Dont’e Thornton Jr. (WR) – Tennessee Titans – Thornton possesses an enticing size-speed combination but went undrafted, signing with Tennessee. He faces a steep climb to make the roster in a crowded rookie WR group (Dike, Ayomanor, Restrepo) but has the physical tools to be a practice squad developmental candidate.
  58.  KeAndre Lambert-Smith (WR) – Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers added Lambert-Smith in the 5th Round. He showed flashes at Penn State but lacked consistency. He’ll compete for a depth role in a Chargers WR room that needs reliable contributors behind the top options. Special teams might be his initial path.
  59. Xavier Restrepo (WR) – Tennessee Titans– Landing with the Titans as a priority UDFA reunites Restrepo with his college QB, Cam Ward. Despite lacking elite speed, Restrepo is a highly productive and polished slot receiver. He faces competition but his route-running and existing QB chemistry give him a legitimate shot to make the roster or practice squad.
  60. Phil Mafah (RB) – Dallas Cowboys (Drafted) – Dallas added the powerful Mafah late on Day 3 (Round 7). He brings a physical element to complement potentially shiftier backs like Jaydon Blue or Rico Dowdle. He’ll compete for a roster spot, likely targeting short-yardage work or a practice squad role initially.
  61. Raheim Sanders (RB) – Los Angeles Chargers – “Rocket” Sanders signs with the Chargers as a UDFA, looking to rebound after injuries derailed his hype. He joins fellow rookie Omarion Hampton and veteran Najee Harris. The talent that made him a star at Arkansas is still there; if healthy, he could surprise and push for a roster spot.
  62. Jimmy Horn Jr. (WR) – Carolina Panthers – Carolina drafted the speedy Horn late on Day 3 (Round 6). He adds a vertical threat element and return ability. He’ll compete for snaps in the slot and on special teams, hoping his speed earns him a role.
  63. Dillon Gabriel (QB) – Cleveland Browns – The productive college veteran lands in Cleveland as a Day 2 pick. Gabriel provides experienced, high-quality depth. He’ll likely compete with Shedeur Sanders for the primary backup role long-term, offering stability to the Browns’ QB room.
  64. Riley Leonard (QB) – Indianapolis Colts – Leonard lands in Indianapolis as a Day 3 pick (Round 6). His athleticism mirrors starter Anthony Richardson, making him a logical backup. He needs to demonstrate improved passing consistency and durability to secure the QB2 job long-term.
  65. Kyle McCord (QB) – Philadelphia Eagles – McCord joins the Eagles as a late Day 3 pick (Round 6). He possesses prototypical QB size and arm talent but needs development. He’ll learn behind Jalen Hurts, likely starting as QB3.
  66. Quinn Ewers (QB) – Miami Dolphins (UDFA) – The former top recruit signs with Miami as a UDFA after an inconsistent college career. Ewers has undeniable arm talent but needs significant coaching. He joins Tua Tagovailoa and Mike White, likely competing for a QB3 spot or practice squad role in an RPO-heavy offense.
  67. Tez Johnson (WR) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers– Johnson, Bo Nix’s adopted brother, lands in Tampa Bay in the 7th Round. The diminutive but quick slot receiver could compete for the WR 4/5 role for the Buccaneers.
  68. Kalel Mullings (RB) – Tennessee Titans – Mullings, the LB-turned-RB, was drafted in the 6th Round by Tennessee. His best path to making the roster is likely showcasing his power and physicality on special teams and potentially earning a short-yardage role.
  69. Marcus Yarns (RB) – New Orleans Saints (UDFA) – Yarns signs with the Saints after a productive career at Delaware. He enters a backfield with established veterans and fellow rookie Devin Neal. Yarns will aim to impress in camp and compete for a practice squad spot.
  70. Jordan Watkins (WR) – San Francisco 49ers (UDFA) – Watkins joins the potent 49ers offense as a UDFA. Making the 53-man roster will be tough given their WR depth (Aiyuk, Deebo, Pearsall, Jennings). He’ll likely compete for a spot on the practice squad, hoping to develop within the system.
  71. Ricky White III (WR) – Seattle Seahawks (UDFA)– White was signed by Seattle after a very productive final season at UNLV. He’ll look for a situation with thin receiver depth where he can compete for a roster or practice squad spot based on his college production.
  72. Isaiah Bond (WR) – (UDFA) – Bond’s pending sexual assault case made him a UDFA. It is disappointing that he chose to ruin his career. We will see what happens with him in the future.
  73. Thomas Fidone II (TE) – New York Giants– The oft-injured former top recruit was drafted in the 7th Round by New York. His talent is intriguing, but he has an uphill battle making the roster.  
  74. Ja’Corey Brooks (WR) – Washington Commanders (UDFA) – Brooks brings his size and contested-catch ability to Washington as a UDFA. The Commanders offer opportunity behind Terry McLaurin, giving Brooks a chance to compete for a backup outside receiver role if he impresses in camp.
  75.  Donovan Edwards (RB) – New York Jets (UDFA) – Edwards signs with the Jets as a UDFA, bringing his notable receiving skills. He’ll compete for the third-down/receiving back role behind Breece Hall and Israel Abanikanda. If he showcases his pass-catching chops, he could carve out a valuable niche.
  76. Montrell Johnson Jr. (RB) – Philadelphia Eagles (UDFA) – Johnson joins the Eagles backfield as a UDFA. He’s a solid, well-rounded back who adds depth behind Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell. He’ll compete for the RB3 spot and special teams duties in camp.
  77. Corey Kiner (RB) – San Francisco 49ers (UDFA) – Kiner signs with the 49ers as a UDFA, adding another body to their deep RB room. He was productive in college but faces long odds for roster spot behind CMC, Mitchell, Mason, and James. Likely a practice squad candidate.
  78. Kaden Prather (WR) – Buffalo Bills – Prather lands with the Bills as a late Day 3 pick (Round 7). He offers size on the outside but is a developmental prospect. He’ll compete for a depth receiver spot behind Stefon Diggs, Curtis Samuel, and Keon Coleman.
  79. Tommy Mellott (WR/QB?) – Las Vegas Raiders – Mellot was drafted in the 6th Round. The versatile Montana State athlete is a unique palyer. His path likely involves showcasing gadget play potential and special teams ability to earn a practice squad spot on the team.
  80. Mario Anderson Jr. (RB) – Rams (UDFA) – Anderson signed as a UDFA after a productive college career. He’ll be looking for a camp opportunity to prove he belongs, likely targeting a practice squad role initially.
  81. Lan Larison (RB) – New England Patriots (UDFA) – The FCS standout signs with New England as a UDFA. He brings intriguing athleticism and production to a backfield also featuring Henderson and Stevenson. He’ll compete to make the roster.  
  82. Mitchell Evans (TE) – Carolina Panthers – Evans joins the Panthers as a Day 3 pick (Round 5). His large frame and blocking ability provide depth behind Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas. He could see situational snaps, especially in run-heavy sets.
  83. Jackson Hawes (TE) – Buffalo Bills – Buffalo added Hawes on Day 3 (Round 5). He joins a room with Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, likely slotting in as TE3. He’ll need to contribute on special teams to solidify his roster spot.
  84. Luke Lachey (TE) – Houston Texans – The Texans drafted Lachey late on Day 3 (Round 7). Primarily known for his blocking at Iowa, he provides depth behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover. His path to playing time likely relies on blocking packages and special teams.
  85. Gavin Bartholomew (TE) – Minnesota Vikings – Bartholomew lands with the Vikings in Round 6. He offers receiving potential but needs development. He’ll aim for a practice squad spot where he can refine his game.
  86. Dominic Lovett (WR) – Detroit Lions – The productive college slot receiver was drafted in the 7th Round by Detroit. The team might view him as a WR or move him to TE; his role and value depend on finding the right scheme fit.
  87. LaJohntay Wester (WR) – Baltimore Ravens – Baltimore drafted the highly productive Wester late on Day 3 (Round 6). He projects as a slot receiver and potential return man for Baltimore. He’ll compete for snaps behind Zay Flowers but adds needed depth and quickness.
  88. Konata Mumpfield (WR) – Los Angeles Rams – Drafted in the 7th Round, Mumpfield was a highly successful WR for the Pitt Panthers. He’ll look to earn a practice squad spot based on his college production and performance in training camp.
  89. Jake Briningstool (TE) – Kansas City Chiefs (UDFA) – Briningstool signs with the Chiefs as a UDFA, bringing receiving skills developed at Clemson. Learning behind Travis Kelce is ideal; he’ll compete for TE depth and offers long-term dynasty appeal if he develops within the KC offense.
  90. Nick Nash (WR) – Atlanta Falcons (UDFA) – Nash signs with the Falcons as a UDFA. He joins a WR room led by Drake London; likely competing for a depth role and practice squad spot in camp.
