Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
1.07 – Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
The Browns selected Judkins in the second round of the NFL Draft to be their new early down volume thumper. With Judkins and Dylan Sampson added to this depth chart, I expect Jerome Ford to become a sparsely utilized change-of-pace option. I wasn’t high on Judkins as a prospect, as he ranked outside the top 65 backs in each of the last two seasons in yards after contact per attempt and elusive rating (per PFF). The draft capital and immediate high-volume role have helped to quell some of my pessimism, but Judkins could be held back by the overall ecosystem of the Browns’ offense and his lack of pass game upside. Cleveland’s starting quarterback situation is murky at best. Judkins finished college with 0.76 yards per route run, which isn’t an awe-inspiring number. He’s an RB2/3 for 2025.

2.07 – Tre Harris (WR – LAC)
Harris, the soul-snatching route savant, lands with the Bolts in the second round of the NFL Draft and should quickly become Justin Herbert‘s trusted second option in the passing game opposite Ladd McConkey. Yes, Harris will have to hop either Mike Williams or Quentin Johnston to crack the starting lineup, but I’m not worried about his ability to do so. We’re discussing a player who has ranked first and ninth in yards per route run over the last two years, stacked up against arguably a former first-round bust and a veteran who looked like he was running on empty last year (per PFF). The Chargers are looked at as a run-heavy team, but that isn’t necessarily true and might not be in 2025. Last year, after Week 7, the Bolts ranked 11th in neutral passing rate and seventh in pass rate over expectation (per Fantasy Points Data). Harris sits atop my Tier 3 of rookies and should be considered a borderline first-round rookie draft selection. Yes, I know I’m aggressively above consensus depending on which ADP of other ranking set you’re looking at, but I want to be with a player who was my WR2 predraft and is my WR3 post-draft with the new addition of Travis Hunter in my wide receiver rankings. Harris is set to smash in his rookie season.

3.07 – Jaydon Blue (RB – DAL)
Jaydon Blue immediately becomes an intriguing fantasy option by virtue of landing with the Cowboys, who took him in the fifth round. Dallas has Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders as the top two veterans on their RB depth chart, so Blue has a chance to earn playing time right away. The 5-9, 205-pound Blue is an explosive runner who clocked a 4.38 at the combine. But Blue’s slight build might make him a role player at the NFL level.

4.07 – Jordan James (RB – SF)
The 5-10, 210-pound Jordan James went to the 49ers in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, and while he’s likely to open the season No. 3 on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Isa has the potential to be a solid NFL committee back. His speed is ordinary, but James is a decisive runner who sees a hole and then charges through it. A physical runner, despite his modest frame, James keeps his legs churning through contact. He has a nose for the end zone, as evidenced by his 26 TD runs over the last two seasons.

5.07 – Brashard Smith (RB – KC)
Brashard Smith is a converted former WR who was highly productive in his one year as a running back for SMU, with 235-1,332-14 last fall. He had 94-898-6 receiving over his final three college seasons — two of them as a WR for the University of Miami-Fla. Smith is a blazer who clocked 22 mph last fall. He bursts through holes and flashes impressive quickness and lateral agility. Smith’s biggest flaw is that he isn’t a tackle-breaker and often goes down on first contact. Although he only has seventh-round draft pedigree, Smith’s speed and pass-catching ability could make him an intriguing weapon for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes.
