While it may be a bit too early to start drafting in your home redraft leagues, many dynasty leagues are amid rookie drafts. Let’s dive into two picks that are widely available Round 3 or later in dynasty rookie mock drafts that we love to target.

Late-Round Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks
Devin Neal (RB – NO)
This is not a flashy pick, but there is a lot to like about Devin Neal. He rushed for 1,000+ yards in each of his last three collegiate years with 16 touchdowns in 2023 and 2024.
Neal is in a crowded running back room that includes Kendre Miller, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Alvin Kamara. The good news is that there is still a path for him to see the field. Kamara is once again a part of trade rumors. Miller can’t stay healthy. Edwards-Helaire hasn’t been relevant since his rookie year.
In theory, if things fall into place, Neal could have an impact for the Saints shortly. He is a nice handcuff pick worth stashing for the time being.
Jordan James (RB – SF)
Towards the ends of rookie drafts, I try and find players with the highest ceiling if and when they are given the chance to play. Jordan James fits that mold by landing in a Kyle Shanahan-led offense.
After trading Jordan Mason to the Vikings this offseason, Shanahan needed/wanted to add more depth to the backfield. With the 147th pick, he made Jordan James the newest member of the 49ers’ running back room.
James ran for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns at Oregon and became one of Shanahan’s favorite players late in this year’s draft.
With Christian McCaffery coming back from an injury, that leaves Isaac Guerendo the main back until McCaffrey is fully healthy. If either misses time, James is set to see some major playing time.
