2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football: 3-Round Superflex Mock Draft Entering Combine
The NFL Combine kicks off this week, and dynasty players will pay close attention to the measurements and on-field drills. Drafters heavily weigh athletic testing when it comes to their rookie drafts, and with all of the nation’s top talent on the field in Indianapolis, it will be easier to compare these players to one another.
With the draft just two months away, here is a look at what the first three rounds of your Superflex rookie drafts might look like this offseason. We are using traditional scoring (4 points per passing TD, 6 points per TD) and PPR scoring for these rankings. So, without further ado, let’s get into Round 1.
3-Round Superflex Mock Draft
Round 1
1. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
2. Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
3. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
4. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
5. Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
6. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
7. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
8. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
9. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
10. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
11. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
12. Travis Hunter, WR, Colorado
It’s pretty rare to see a non-quarterback be the No. 1 pick in a rookie Superflex draft, but Ashton Jeanty is a special back. It’s widely believed that he’ll be selected inside the top 15 picks in the NFL Draft, which would put him in a special category of running backs.
Only seven running backs have been drafted inside the top 15 picks since 2013: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, and Todd Gurley.
All seven backs were bonafide RB1s during their prime, and we expect nothing different from Jeanty. He might not be in the same tier as Robinson as a prospect, but in a weaker class, he is easily worth the top pick. Expect him to be a top-five dynasty running back right out of the gate.
Things get really interesting after Jeanty, but expect Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders to come off the board shortly. Ward has more rushing potential and will be drafted higher, but both quarterbacks will have significant value in superflex leagues. In 1-QB leagues, don’t be surprised if both quarterbacks fall to the middle of Round 2 of your drafts. This isn't a great year to need a quarterback in your rookie drafts, but we know that they will go early, especially with the lack of depth at the position in the later rounds.
Expect the rest of the first round to be littered with running backs, with as many as six running backs being drafted inside the top 12. Hampton, Johnson, and Henderson are widely considered the best backs in the class after Jeanty, but the order in which they could come off the board will depend on the landing spot. Judkins is another name to watch as he should have Day 2 draft capital, and his production at Ohio State suggests he could be in line for a lot of work right away.
The optimal strategy in Round 1 should be to get a top-seven selection and pick one of the top four running backs (Jeanty, Hampton, Johnson, Henderson). There is a pretty big gap in talent after those players, while you can find wide receiver and tight end depth late. Make it a point to try to grab one of those top seven players in Round 1 of your rookie drafts.
If your dynasty team is in need of help right away at the wide receiver position, Tetairoa McMillan offers the most upside. He racked up more than 2,700 receiving yards in the past two seasons while averaging 15.7 yards per reception. He projects as a WR1 in the NFL and should be an immediate factor right away. Luther Burden III and Emeka Egbuka are two other Round 1 options, but they are more WR3s, and FLEX plays right away in your dynasty leagues, assuming neutral landing spots.
The most interesting name in the first round will be Travis Hunter, who could easily be WR1 in this class. We have yet to hear what his intentions are for the NFL, but he will work out with the cornerbacks during the scouting combine. If Hunter lands with a team that views him as a full-time receiver, he could greatly move up this list. But for this mock, he is the final pick in Round 1.
Round 2
13. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
14. Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
15. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
16. Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
17. Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
18. Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
19. Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
20. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
21. Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL)
22. Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
23. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
24. Jalen Royals, WR, Nevada
It shouldn’t surprise anyone if Colston Loveland is the first tight end off the board in April’s draft. He moves like a receiver, and this type of tight end is highly valuable to fantasy managers. The landing spot could determine his ultimate upside, but expect him to be a top-25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and to go early in rookie drafts.
Round 2 will be littered with Day 2 receivers, but this is an underwhelming class as a whole. Matthew Golden had a strong year at Texas, but he projects as more of a WR2 in the NFL. Tre Harris, Elic Ayomanor, and Jayden Higgins offer fantastic size at the position, but the combine should do a good job of separating them from one another. Restrepo is one of the class' best pure slot receivers and could have instant value on the right offense.
Jalen Milroe and Jaxson Dart are expected to be picked sometime on Day 2, but their value will be entirely dependent on how early they are picked. Milore is reminiscent of (smaller) Justin Fields, and he should have immediate value in superflex leagues because of his rushing ability.
He still has a long way to go as a passer, but his legs will make him a must-start in dynasty leagues the moment he is on the field. Dart is a more traditional pocket passer, and his stock only seems to be rising. Expect both quarterbacks to come off the board somewhere in the middle of Round 2 of your rookie drafts.
Round 2 will be a tough spot to find quality running backs, especially if Judkins finds his way into the top 60 picks in April. The best bet here is to gamble on Dylan Sampson, who was ultra-productive in his first year of starting at Tennessee. Sampson doesn’t have great size, but he has the skill set and athleticism to be an every-down starter at the next level.
Devin Neal and Cam Skattebo are two other running backs worth considering in this range, but they project as complementary players who will need to share the backfield with someone with long speed. The running backs who are ultimately selected in this range could vary depending on combine performance, draft capital, and landing spot. So make sure you are flexible if you need a running back in Round 2.
Round 3
25. Savion Williams, WR, TCU
26. Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
27. Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
28. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL)
29. Ollie Gordon, RB, Oklahoma State
30. Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
31. Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
32. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
33. Jack Bech, WR, TCU
34. Jordan James, RB, Oregon
35. Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (FL)
36. Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
The third round of the rookie draft will be filled with familiar names. In this mock, three quarterbacks go off the board as Shough, Ewers, and Howard all have a chance to be drafted on Day 2. While none are Day 1 starters, they all have NFL traits and could land in decent situations. Shough is the most interesting name of the group, as he’ll be 26 during his rookie season. Still, he’s earned a lot of buzz in the pre-draft process, and it wouldn’t be a total shock if he was selected in Round 2.
The wide receivers in this range are all tough to figure out. Williams, Bond, Johnson, and Bech have NFL starter traits. Williams is one of the most gifted receivers in the class, but is he ready to run NFL routes? Bond looked like a sure-fire first-round pick at Alabama, but disappointed for Texas. He’s got rare speed, but his inconsistency could cause him to fall during the draft.
Elijah Arroyo and Harold Fannin Jr. should both be selected on Day 2, with Arroyo having a chance to be selected among the top 50. He had just 46 receptions in four years at Miami, but his performance at the Senior Bowl was dominant enough for him to be selected that high.
Fannin couldn’t be more different than Arroyo, as he is the most productive tight end in college football history. But with less-than-ideal measurables, he could slip during the draft process. Still, someone with his production profile should still go inside the first three rounds of your rookie draft.
One thing that is clear after looking at this mock draft is that the talent really falls off after 13 or 14 picks. The players who will be selected at 2.6 (No. 18) won't be all that different from those who will be selected at 3.6 (No. 30).
After Round 1, consider trading back as much as possible and stockpiling picks in the 25-35 range. Build your depth that way rather than trying to decipher who will be the best value at the top of Round 2. This class has some top-end talent, but the depth in late Round 2 and early Round 3 is where you want to attack.
