2025 Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks: Quarterbacks
In this article, I’ll cover the top prospects who have a shot at being drafted in round one of the 2025 NFL Draft and should be valued highest in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Many prospects still have yet to decide whether they will declare for the draft or return to college football next season, so this list may look a bit different in the coming months.
For now, this should give you a good idea of who to target early in your rookie drafts, as well as where the strengths and weaknesses of this class lie.
Quarterback
Cam Ward is my QB1 of the class, though I’m not sure he’d even be in my top four quarterbacks from the 2024 class. The fifth-year signal-caller had an interesting collegiate career, starting in the FCS at Incarnate Word. He eventually transferred to Washington State and then finally to Miami, where he posted the best numbers of his career, finishing fourth in the Heisman Trophy race.
Ward isn’t someone who will get you a ton of fantasy points on the ground, but he is mobile enough to extend plays and can go off-script to make something out of nothing. Ward has the size and football IQ to succeed at the next level. He should, in all likelihood, be a Day 1 starter.
Shedeur Sanders (QB – Colorado)
Shedeur Sanders is the only other quarterback I’m very confident will hear his name called in the first round. I expect Ward and Sanders to be top-five picks, but I prefer Ward purely based on film.
Like Ward, Sanders isn’t a dual-threat quarterback but he has sufficient athleticism to elude pressure and extend plays. The problem is that I don’t see much pocket presence when I watch Sanders play. He was sacked 41 times in 2024, tied for first in the FBS. He’s improved in this department since 2023 but has a ways to go. Regardless, there’s no denying his raw talent.
Recent reports have come out saying Jalen Milroe has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, which may come as a surprise to some, considering how disappointing Alabama performed this season. In terms of processing, I have some major concerns about Milroe as a passer.
I think the NFL game may end up being a bit too fast for him. Still, he’s being mocked as a first-round talent by many sites. If he lands in a situation where he can compete for the starting job in Year 1, Milroe should be considered early in Superflex rookie drafts. As we know in fantasy football, rushing upside for a quarterback can mask a lot of faults. It may not matter if he’s good — at least not for dynasty leagues.
