The NFL draft is over. Now it\u2019s time to figure out where the draftees slot in on your existing dynasty teams. Fun times are on the horizon. Here\u2019s a stab at ranking every QB, RB, WR, and TE taken in the 2025 NFL draft based on how things fell and who landed where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. RB Ashton Jeanty<\/strong>, Raiders, Boise State, NFL draft pick 1.06 \u2013 This is a no-brainer; he\u2019s the hands-down 1.01 in existing dynasty leagues.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. WR Tetairoa McMillan<\/strong>, Panthers, Arizona, 1.08 \u2013 Carolina is loaded with young wide receivers now, plus this should pretty much mean it\u2019s time for Adam Thielen to ride off into the sunset.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. TE Tyler Warren<\/strong>, Colts, Penn State, 1.14 \u2013 He wasn\u2019t the first tight end to go on the first day of the draft, but he\u2019s clearly the starter in Indy. The question is: Can the Colts\u2019 QB get him the ball?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. QB Cam Ward<\/strong>, Titans, Miami, 1.01 \u2013 He\u2019s likely 1.01 in existing dynasty superflex leagues, and he\u2019s clearly the most draftable rookie quarterback in dynasty non-superflex leagues.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. RB Omarion Hampton<\/strong>, Chargers, UNC, 1.22 \u2013 Gotta believe he and Najee Harris will be sharing the backfield load for Jim Harbaugh\u2019s team.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. RB Quinshon Judkins<\/strong>, Browns, Ohio State, 2.04 \u2013 Can he beat out Jerome Ford? If\/when that happens, it will surprise no one.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. RB TreVeyon Henderson<\/strong>, Patriots, Ohio State, 2.06 \u2013 Like his college teammate Judkins, can Henderson beat out Rhamondre Stevenson? Again, that won\u2019t be a huge surprise.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. RB R.J. Harvey<\/strong>, Broncos, Central Florida, 2.28 \u2013 He\u2019s part of a crowded backfield mix in Denver with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime, but Harvey has a definite shot to earn the bulk of the workload.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. RB Kaleb Johnson<\/strong>, Steelers, Iowa, 3.19 \u2013 Gotta believe he\u2019ll see a lot of action and save some wear and tear on Jaylen Warren.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. WR Matthew Golden<\/strong>, Packers, Texas, 1.23 \u2013 Good golly do the Packers have a crowded wide receiver room. Can Golden push Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks totally out of the picture?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. WR Emeka Egbuka<\/strong>, Buccaneers, Ohio State, 1.19 \u2013 Mike Evans is 31, and Chris Godwin is 29, plus second-year pro Jalen McMillan is in the mix. But the time for some young wide receiver blood in Tampa is near.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. WR Jayden Higgins<\/strong>, Texans, Iowa State, 2.02 \u2013 Houston has a boatload of wide receivers, and Higgins has a shot for significant targets because most of the veterans are dealing with or coming off injuries.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. WR Luther Burden<\/strong>, Bears, Missouri, 2.07 \u2013 He\u2019ll be behind D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze, but new head coach Ben Johnson likes to put the ball in the air.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. WR Tre Harris<\/strong>, Chargers, Mississippi, 2.23 \u2013 Not a great landing spot since Jim Harbaugh likes to run the football, but Harris has a chance to be right behind Ladd McConkey for targets.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. TE Mason Taylor<\/strong>, Jets, LSU, 2.10 \u2013 Tight end was a huge position of need for the Jets, and Taylor could prove to be a nice safety valve for Justin Fields.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. TE Colston Loveland<\/strong>, Bears, Michigan, 1.10 \u2013 He was the first tight end off the board, but the Bears already have Cole Kmet and ample WR\/RB weapons. Will he really see many targets?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. QB Jaxson Dart<\/strong>, Giants, Mississippi, 1.25 \u2013 He won\u2019t start as a rookie, but he\u2019s a must-have in dynasty superflex, and he\u2019s worth owning in regular dynasty, too.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. QB Tyler Shough<\/strong>, Saints, Louisville, 2.08 \u2013 With the quarterback situation in New Orleans, he\u2019s worth a shot in regular dynasty, and he\u2019s a must-draft in superflex dynasty.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. WR\/CB Travis Hunter<\/strong>, Jaguars, Colorado, 1.02 \u2013 This is way lower than most rankings will have him, but the bet here is that he\u2019ll wind up playing way more cornerback than he does wide receiver.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. WR Jack Bech<\/strong>, Raiders, TCU, 2.26 \u2013 Other than Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas doesn\u2019t have much at wide receiver, so this ranking could be a little low.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. RB Cam Skattebo<\/strong>, Giants, Arizona State, 4.03 \u2013 Can he beat out Tyrone Tracy and be the starter? Not likely. Can he supplant Devin Singletary as the RB2? No one will be surprised if he does.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. WR Tory Horton<\/strong>, Seahawks, Colorado State, 5.30 \u2013 Look for this guy to emerge as the sleeper pick of this NFL draft. Horton could be a starter in Seattle pretty darn quick.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  23. WR Elic Ayomanor<\/strong>, Titans, Stanford, 4.34 \u2013 The door is wide open for him to earn a significant number of snaps very quickly.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  24. RB Bhayshul Tuten<\/strong>, Jaguars, Virginia Tech, 4.02 \u2013 Everybody is in love with this guy\u2019s speed. Will it translate to the NFL? That\u2019s a huge question.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  25. RB Jarquez Hunter<\/strong>, Rams, Auburn, 4.15 \u2013 He certainly gives coach Sean McVay some nice running back depth behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  26. RB Dylan Sampson<\/strong>, Browns, Tennessee, 4.24 \u2013 Cleveland loaded up by drafting Sampson and Quinshon Judkins, so maybe the Browns\u2019 brass has seen enough of Jerome Ford.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  27. RB Jaydon Blue<\/strong>, Cowboys, Texas, 5.12 \u2013 He definitely has a chance to be Javonte Williams\u2019 backup or even a change-of-pace guy who gets a few touches each game.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  28. RB Devin Neal<\/strong>, Saints, Kansas, 6.08 \u2013 New Orleans might have gotten the running back steal of the NFL draft in the sixth round.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  29. QB Jalen Milroe<\/strong>, Seahawks, Alabama, 3.28 \u2013 He\u2019s worth drafting in dynasty superflex, but he\u2019s a dart throw in regular dynasty unless you\u2019re into stashing young quarterbacks.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  30. QB Will Howard<\/strong>, Steelers, Ohio State, 6.09 \u2013 As of the end of April, all Howard has to do to be a starter as a rookie is beat out Mason Rudolph. It\u2019s doable, so he\u2019s a superflex must-draft.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  31. WR Kyle Williams<\/strong>, Patriots, Washington State, 3.05 \u2013 New England has a ton of wide receivers, both young and old. Who knows where Williams will ultimately fit in.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  32. WR Jaylin Noel<\/strong>, Texans, Iowa State, 3.15 \u2013 So Noel joins his college teammate Higgins in Houston. The question: Which one gets playing time among the masses in a very crowded receiver room.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  33. WR Jalen Royals<\/strong>, Chiefs, Utah State, 4.31 \u2013 He gives Patrick Mahomes another weapon, but odds of him getting tons of snaps as a rookie don\u2019t look great.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  34. TE Terrence Ferguson<\/strong>, Rams, Oregon, 2.14 \u2013 He has only the aging Tyler Higbee in front of him, and that could mean some immediate playing time.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  35. TE Elijah Arroyo<\/strong>, Seahawks, Miami, 2.18 \u2013 Another tight end who could see immediate playing time, with only Noah Fant in front of him.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  36. RB Trevor Etienne<\/strong>, Panthers, Georgia, 4.12 \u2013 He was never the college star his brother was, but he gives Carolina some more running back depth.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  37. RB Woody Marks<\/strong>, Texans, Southern Cal, 4.14 \u2013 The heir to Joe Mixon has been pretty fuzzy, so maybe Marks takes control of that situation.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  38. RB D.J. Giddens<\/strong>, Colts, Kansas State, 5.14 \u2013 It might take some time, but eventually he could be the guy who gets the reps when Jonathan Taylor needs a rest.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  39. WR Dont\u2019e Thornton<\/strong>, Raiders, Tennessee, 4.06 \u2013 See new teammate Jack Bech. The door is open to see who gets on the field along with Jakobi Meyers.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  40. RB Ollie Gordon<\/strong>, Dolphins, Oklahoma State, 6.03 \u2013 Miami grabs a nice depth piece for its backfield.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  41. TE Harold Fannin<\/strong>, Browns, Bowling Green, 3.03 \u2013 He\u2019s behind David Njoku, so if you draft Fannin, he\u2019s likely little more than a stash for the time being.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  42. WR Tai Felton<\/strong>, Vikings, Maryland, 3.38 \u2013 He joins a gaggle of WR3 candidates in Minnesota behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  43. WR Isaac TeSlaa<\/strong>, Lions, Arkansas, 3.06 \u2013 Similar situation to Felton in Minnesota. Can TeSlaa emerge as the WR3 in Detroit?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  44. TE Oronde Gadsden<\/strong>, Chargers, Syracuse, 5.29 \u2013 He has a couple of aging veterans in front of him, but if he can figure out the blocking aspect of playing tight end, this could be a great pick by Jim Harbaugh.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  45. QB Dillon Gabriel<\/strong>, Browns, Oregon, 3.30 \u2013 He might be worth drafting in dynasty superflex, with a heavy emphasis on might.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  46. QB Shedeur Sanders<\/strong>, Browns, Colorado, 5.06 \u2013 Definitely worth drafting in dynasty superflex, but will he be able to transcend his freefall in the NFL draft?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  47. RB Jordan James<\/strong>, 49ers, Oregon, 5.09 \u2013 Kyle Shanahan loves his running backs, so maybe James works his way up the San Francisco depth chart.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  48. RB Kyle Monangai<\/strong>, Bears, Rutgers, 7.17 \u2013 Running back depth in Chicago is not a strength. Monangai could turn out to be a seventh-round steal.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  49. RB Phil Mafah<\/strong>, Cowboys, Clemson, 7.23 \u2013 This dude is a bull, and he could prove to be another seventh-round steal.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  50. WR Pat Bryant<\/strong>, Broncos, Illinois, 3.10 \u2013 There are a slew of young wide receivers in Denver. Where Bryant fits in looks like a crapshoot at this point.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  51. WR Savion Williams<\/strong>, Packers, TCU, 3.23 \u2013 Green Bay keeps adding young wide receivers. The most they can play at one time is five. Are the Packers planning on trading a vet or two?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  52. TE Gunnar Helm<\/strong>, Titans, Texas, 4.18 \u2013 Chig Okonkwo hasn\u2019t exactly set the world on fire as the Tennessee tight end, so maybe Helm can get on the field and show what he can do.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  53. RB Tahj Brooks<\/strong>, Bengals, Texas Tech, 6.17 \u2013 If Zack Moss isn\u2019t healthy enough to be a backup this season, Brooks could provide valuable depth in Cincinnati as a rookie.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  54. RB Damien Martinez<\/strong>, Seahawks, Miami, 7.07 \u2013 He could be a solid depth piece in Seattle\u2019s backfield.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  55. QB Quinn Ewers<\/strong>, Dolphins, Texas, 7.15 \u2013 The quarterback room in Miami isn\u2019t deep, and Tua\u2019s injury history is no secret. Ewers is worth a late pick in superflex dynasty drafts.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  56. WR Chimere Dike<\/strong>, Titans, Florida, 4.01 \u2013 He went earlier than new teammate Elic Ayomanor, but Duke\u2019s path to playing time looks to be a longer journey.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  57. WR Arian Smith<\/strong>, Jets, Georgia, 4.08 \u2013 It\u2019s a hodgepodge in the Jets\u2019 wide receiver room behind Garrett Wilson, so maybe this guy climbs the ladder.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  58. TE Mitchell Evans<\/strong>, Panthers, Notre Dame, 5.27 \u2013 He has a chance to become the starter in Carolina eventually, but it won\u2019t be this year.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  59. WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith<\/strong>, Chargers, Auburn, 5.22 \u2013 He has an outside shot to make the roster, but getting on the field will be a whole \u2018nother question.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The remaining draftees are ranked as follows, but none of them figure to have any fantasy relevance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
