2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football: Post-Combine 3-Round Superflex Mock Draft
The 2025 NFL Combine wrapped up on Sunday and believe it or not, it will have a big impact on our dynasty rookie drafts this summer.
There are some that will discount the impact of the combine, but it does have an impact on when and where players on drafted. And for the players that didn’t test, it creates some doubt about their athleticism or health moving forward.
So, what might the first three rounds of our rookie drafts look like now that the combine has wrapped up? And how different is it now compared to just a few days ago? Let’s do a full three-round mock with traditional scoring (4 points per passing TD, PPR scoring) and see where we land:
Post-Combine 3-Round Dynasty Mock Draft
Round 1
1. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
2. Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
3. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
4. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
5. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
6. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
7. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
8. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
9. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
10. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
11. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
12. Travis Hunter, WR, Colorado
The names in Round 1 didn’t change much (11 of 12 same names appeared in our earlier mock draft), and neither did the order. The biggest difference was that Omarion Hampton clearly separated himself from the tier of Kaleb Johnson, TreVeyon Henderson, and Quinshon Judkins.
Hampton excelled in the workouts, and at this point, it would be a massive shock if he weren’t the second running back off the board. You can make a case that he could be the No. 2 player off the board behind only Ashton Jeanty, but Cam Ward will hold onto that spot in Superflex leagues for now.
Sheudar Sanders slid down the list a bit, but that had nothing to do with his combine, as he didn’t participate. It’s just that this group of running backs is incredibly talented, and all should be selected within the first 50 picks. Meanwhile, it doesn’t appear the NFL loves Sanders, and his skillset doesn’t translate to fantasy production. Still, because he’s a quarterback who should have top-15 draft capital, he’ll go in the middle of Round 1 of rookie drafts.
The newest addition to the first round of the mock draft is Matthew Golden, who stunned everyone by running a 4.29 40-yard dash at the combine. His stock has been trending in the right direction for a while, and there has been some buzz that he could be the first receiver off the board in April.
That still feels a bit rich, but putting him in Round 1 of our rookie drafts feels right after his stellar combine.
Round 2
13. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
14. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
15. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
16. Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
17. Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
18. Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
18. Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
19. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
20. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
21. Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
22. Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
23. Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
24. D.J. Giddens, RB Kansas State
There is a clear dip in talent after the top five running backs in this class (Jeanty, Hampton, Johnson, Henderson, Judkins). However, we can expect Round 2 of rookie drafts to be loaded with running backs, given the depth of this class.
Sampson didn’t perform any of the testing drills at the combine, but he looked smooth in the on-field work. He is still expected to be a Day 2 pick and should be an instant contributor in the NFL. Devin Neal and D.J. Giddens had nice days, and Cam Skattebo shocked everyone with some elite jump numbers. All three should wind up being top-125 picks in April.
Figuring out the wide receivers in this range will be tough, and their landing spots could determine their values. Emeka Egbuka is Ohio State’s all-time leading receiver, but there is nothing special about his game. However, he is expected to have Round 1 draft capital and could land with a playoff contender.
Jayden Higgins had an awesome combine and might be the best overall athlete at the receiver position. He’s firmly locked himself into being a top-50 pick and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he were picked in Round 1.
Jalen Milroe and Jaxson Dart were fine during the on-field work, but neither tested and didn’t dramatically improve their stocks. Because of the need for quarterback for so many teams, they should still wind up being picked on Day 2 of the NFL Draft and will likely find a way into the middle of Round 2 of our rookie drafts despite being mediocre prospects.
Round 3
25. Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
26. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)
27. Ollie Gordon, RB, Oklahoma State
28. Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
29. Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech
30. Jack Bech, WR, TCU
31. Jordan James, RB, Oregon
32. Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
33. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
34. Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
35. Brashard Smith, RB, SMU
36. Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
The third round of rookie drafts should see several new names, including Bhayshul Tuten, who ran the fastest 40-yard dash among all running backs at the combine. He’s got fantastic size, and his speed should get him plenty of looks. Tuten will really need to work on his ball security at the next level, but his speed is too enticing not to take a chance on him in the late 20s or early 30s.
Look for plenty of Day 2 receivers to fall into this range, including Jack Bech, Kyle Williams, and Isaiah Bond. The most intriguing of the bunch is Bond, who ran a 4.39 40-yard dash, but that was actually well below expectations. He plays much faster on the field, and his production at Alabama in 2022 and 2023 should allow him to be a top-100 pick. Don’t be surprised if he ends up falling a bit on draft weekend.
If you are going to gamble on a running back late, consider taking Brashard Smith with one of your final picks. He was an extremely productive receiver at Miami before transferring to SMU and moving to running back. Smith racked up over 1,600 yards from scrimmage, scoring 18 touchdowns as he helped lead SMU back to the College Football Playoffs. Smith ran a 4.39 40-yard dash, which was the third-fastest among all running backs. Given his receiving ability and home-run speed, you could do a lot worse in the third round than Smith.
Slotting the next tier of quarterbacks is incredibly difficult, but we did put Tyler Shough at the top of Round 3. He’ll be a 26-year-old rookie quarterback, but he performed well at the combine, and the buzz surrounding him has only gotten louder.
Whoever drafts him will want him to get on the field early and that matters in Superflex leagues. If you are desperate for quarterback depth, taking Shough in Round 3 is reasonable.
