2025 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 1-QB

See Who the NFL Draft Helped (and Hurt) the Most

Last time we did a dynasty rookie mock draft, we weren't even sure whether Travis Hunter was going to play receiver in the NFL.

Now? We not only have our answer ... but we learned that the Jaguars were willing to mortgage their future on him.

We also learned plenty about the RB class, the other WRs, the top TEs, and even some surprising things about the QBs.

Read on to see how those lessons impacted the way we're drafting these rookies in our dynasty leagues ...

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft – Round 1

We all know who’s leading (probably?) every dynasty rookie mock draft this year. The guy who just finished rushing for 2,601 yards.

But the draft gets unpredictable shortly thereafter …

1. Ashton Jeanty
2. Tetairoa McMillan
3. Omarion Hampton
4. Travis Hunter
5. TreVeyon Henderson
6. Quinshon Judkins
7. Emeka Egbuka
8. Colston Loveland
9. Matthew Golden
10. Tyler Warren
11. R.J. Harvey Jr.
12. Kaleb Johnson

1.01 – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Raiders

Kevin English: There’s no debate at 1.01. Jeanty is one of the best RB prospects this decade and will walk into RB1-level volume as a rookie.

1.02 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers

Matt Schauf: The only WR close to McMillan coming out of this draft is a guy who's also gonna play CB.

While Travis Hunter and the Jaguars figure out that balance, don't be surprised if his fantasy production gets limited by a playing-time cap.

McMillan, on the other hand, finds a pretty clear path to become the immediate lead WR for Bryce Young, who improved significantly after returning from his 2025 benching.

McMillan brings high-efficiency potential for his fantasy scoring, thanks to his downfield ability and a terrific frame for red-zone usage.

1.03 – Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers

Jared Smola: Hampton joins this list of first-round RBs over the last seven drafts:

• Josh Jacobs
• Clyde Edwards-Helaire
• Najee Harris
• Bijan Robinson
• Jahmyr Gibbs
• and Ashton Jeanty

Pretty nice track record.

I'll take that relative safety over the unknown of Travis Hunter's role, both short and long term.

Kevin calls attention to Hampton's upside in this dynasty value report.

1.04 – Travis Hunter, WR, Jaguars

Shane Hallam: The Jaguars are saying the right things about Hunter playing WR first. I'm in at the 1.04 with a potentially elite slot WR, even if he isn't playing a full complement of snaps.

Hunter's quick-twitch ability will be difficult to cover in man, and Trevor Lawrence is solid throwing to the middle of the field.

This lines up with the new Liam Coen offense, which can play Hunter in the Chris Godwin role.

Kevin digs into Hunter the prospect in this report.

1.05 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Patriots

Kevin: Denver was my dream landing spot for Henderson, but I won’t complain about New England.

He joins an ascending offense centered on Drake Maye, one that’ll provide plenty of pass-catching opportunities under new OC Josh McDaniels.

Maybe Henderson maxes out around 200 carries. But I’m really buying his receiving upside – especially in a full PPR league.

1.06 – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Browns

Matt: I feel better about Judkins than the next two WRs who landed in Round 1 of the draft. The second-round pick finds a Cleveland backfield in need of a new leader.

There's risk that the Browns limit his receiving role, favoring Jerome Ford in that area. But GM Andrew Berry called Judkins "very versatile" and a "bellcow" after they picked him.

Maybe he wasn't being hyperbolic, and they do plan to make the Ohio State alum more of a three-down back than even Nick Chubb ever was.

Shane points to that upside -- but also some red flags -- in his prospect profile of Judkins.

1.07 – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers

Jared: I'm hunting trade-down opportunities here, with the next handful of players looking relatively flat.

If forced to make the pick, give me the guy the Bucs made the third WR off the board in the draft.

Egbuka might struggle for Year 1 volume, but Mike Evans is set to hit free agency next offseason, while Chris Godwin is signed for only two more years.

Shane calls Egbuka a textbook slot WR in his dynasty value outlook.

1.08 – Colston Loveland, TE, Bears

Shane: Loveland earned top-10 draft capital and was the first NFL Draft pick by new HC Ben Johnson. Sign me up for Loveland playing the Sam LaPorta role in Johnson's offense.

Loveland is on par athletically with LaPorta and gets separation easily in the middle of the field. Even with a crowded room of weapons, Loveland immediately lands in the top 5 of our dynasty TE rankings.

Check out his prospect profile to learn more.

1.09 – Matthew Golden, WR, Packers

Kevin: Green Bay made Golden their first Round 1 WR since Javon Walker in 2002. Golden’s an intriguing fit with an aggressive QB such as Jordan Love, whose supporting cast needed a speed threat. (Christian Watson is coming off a January ACL tear and enters a contract year.)

We’ll see if Green Bay continues its spread-it-around offense, but this level of investment signals WR1 fantasy upside within a few seasons.

To be fair, Jared also highlighted the downside risk in his prospect profile of Golden.

1.10 – Tyler Warren, TE, Colts

Matt: I'm glad Kevin took Golden, cuz I'd rather have both first-round TEs over him.

I don't have a strong preference between Loveland and Warren, but I believe Warren is better positioned for immediate return.

Warren brings a nice athletic profile and comes off a monster final season at Penn State.

Watch across formats for fantasy players to overrate the Colts' shaky QB situation in how they treat the team's pass catchers.

1.11 – R.J. Harvey Jr., RB, Broncos

Jared: One of the biggest post-draft risers.

Harvey got strong draft capital (Round 2 as the fifth RB off the board) and landed in a Sean Payton offense with a LONG history of productive fantasy backfields.

Harvey has a clear runway to quickly emerge as Denver's lead back after racking up 2,993 rushing yards, 39 catches, and 42 total TDs over his final two college seasons.

1.12 – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Steelers

Shane: The Steelers, including OC Arthur Smith, want to run the football. Replacing Najee Harris with a more athletic version should help accomplish that goal.

Johnson's elite contact balance allows him to bounce off contact through the line.

He created his own yardage often, ranking third among Combine RBs in yards over expected and fourth in yards after contact per attempt.

Get more on Johnson in Kevin's breakdown of his dynasty value.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft – Round 2

WRs make up half the round, but a couple of TEs rise vs. their pre-NFL Draft positions ...

2.01 – Jayden Higgins, WR, Texans

Kevin: Realistically, Higgins earned ideal draft capital at 34th overall. He came off the board 45 picks ahead of fellow Texans WR draftee Jaylin Noel, Higgins' former Iowa State teammate.

Houston has already locked up Nico Collins through the 2027 season. But their pass catching depth lacks difference-making talent at WR and TE.

Higgins could push for 100 targets as soon as 2025. Check out my full breakdown of Higgins' dynasty value.

2.02 – Tre Harris, WR, Chargers

Matt: Harris arrives as a strong prospect. He presents enough size and speed, and he commanded strong market shares from his sophomore year at Louisiana Tech through two seasons at Ole Miss.

Harris averaged 17.7 yards per catch and 100.8 yards per game over his SEC stint. And his 2024 delivered the most yards per route ever by a Power 5 receiver (since PFF started tracking in 2015).

Landing with the Chargers gives Harris a high-level QB and a path to debuting as the team's No. 2 target earner.

You can learn more about him in Jared's dynasty value breakdown.

2.03 – Luther Burden III, WR, Bears

Jared: Burden got expected draft capital (39th overall) and landed in a nice spot — at least for the long term.

He faces tough immediate target competition, but I believe in Ben Johnson's ability to maximize Burden's elite after-catch ability.

Kevin likes the upside with Burden as well.

2.04 – Cam Ward, QB, Titans

Shane: Knowing when to take a QB in a 1-QB draft is difficult, but Ward has QB1 fantasy upside.

He lands in a situation better than most No. 1 overall picks. Calvin Ridley is a legit WR1, and the OL ranks among the top 10 in the league.

With a strong run game to help, Ward should adjust quickly to HC Brian Callahan's offense.

His rushing ability when a play breaks down adds fantasy value.

2.05 – Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars

Kevin: I was torn on Tuten vs. Cam Skattebo, but I’ll side with the guy in the better offensive environment.

HC Liam Coen, QB Trevor Lawrence, and WRs Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter form an intriguing nucleus.

GM James Gladstone also called Tuten a “priority” on Day 3 (early Round 4) of the draft. Tuten could become a rotational piece this fall before taking on a larger role in 2026.

Check out my full analysis of Tuten right here.

2.06 – Cameron Skattebo, RB, Giants

Matt: Despite suboptimal speed, Skattebo could lead the Giants' backfield right away.

The rude force of his running style at least adds a power complement that Tyrone Tracy lacks. And Skattebo racked up 69 catches at 12.9 yards per reception across his two Arizona State seasons. So he might even be a better receiving option than the incumbent WR-turned-RB.

This is late enough in a rookie draft to focus on the upside over the risk that Skattebo's style simply doesn't translate to NFL productiveness.

Kevin's on board. Just check out his dynasty value report on Skattebo.

2.07 – Kyle Williams, WR, Patriots

Jared: Williams is undersized but explosive with strong route-running chops.

The early Round 3 draft capital was a win. And so was the landing spot. Williams has a path to a top-2 WR job right away and is tied to QB Drake Maye long term.

2.08 – Jack Bech, WR, Raiders

Shane: Bech got Round 2 draft capital on a team that lacks a premier WR. His lack of deep speed is an issue, but he is explosive in the short area, with some of the best route running in the draft.

Bech even led the 2021 LSU offense in receptions, a team that boasted WRs Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.

I'll take a chance that he could have Ladd McConkey-type upside, even with Brock Bowers also on the team.

2.09 – Mason Taylor, TE, Jets

Kevin: Mason screams high-floor TE1.

He produced steadily across four seasons at LSU. He brings NFL-caliber size and athleticism. And he proved QB friendly with a career drop rate of only 5.1%.

Taylor’s a day one starter with a shot at developing into the No. 2 option behind Garrett Wilson.

2.10 – Jaylin Noel, WR, Texans

Matt: Noel faces a tougher path to early production with the Texans than college teammate Jayden Higgins, thanks to his Round 3 draft capital and Christian Kirk blocking the slot.

But Kirk's contract runs out after this season, and he has missed multiple games in five of seven NFL seasons.

Noel improved his yards per route each of the past three years and edged Higgins in receiving yards and yards per catch in 2024. His 4.39-second 40 time suggests upside beyond Kirk's -- if/when Noel gets a shot.

2.11 – Elijah Arroyo, TE, Seahawks

Jared: GM John Schneider said some of Seattle's coaches thought Arroyo could have played "X" receiver.

"If he didn't miss time [in college,] his talent is like a Top 15 pick," Schneider added. "This guy is special."

A healthy Arroyo averaged 16.9 yards per catch last year, including an FBS-high 8.9 yards after the catch per reception. His fantasy ceiling is exciting.

2.12 – Dylan Sampson, RB, Browns

Shane: The Browns took Quinshon Judkins in Round 2, but Sampson's pass catching and smooth movements make him a complement to the higher-drafted back.

If Sampson can develop into a third-down receiving back, he could carve out a role to become useful in PPR leagues.

Check out Kevin's full breakdown here.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft – Round 3

Let's jump right in with a WR who went much earlier than anyone expected -- but landed in a good spot.

3.01 – Pat Bryant, WR, Broncos

Kevin: HC Sean Payton praised Bryant’s burst, competitiveness, and toughness while comparing him to Michael Thomas. High praise.

The surprise Round 3 pick might struggle for fantasy value in 2025, but there’s certainly potential for a role jump in 2026.

The Broncos have entered contract discussions with Courtland Sutton, but he's set to hit free agency in 2026 if they don't work out an extension.

3.02 – Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants

Matt: Whether to take Dart here would come down more to what else I have at QB. If I've already got two good-to-strong options, I'm probably hitting another position instead.

But the value fits in this range, especially if I'm shallow at QB behind an every-week starter.

Dart's combo of deep-passing ability and rushing upside mean he'll be friendly to fantasy managers if he hits. But there's also some bust potential.

3.03 – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Titans

Jared: I thought Ayomanor's 2024 tape was underwhelming — and the NFL seemingly agreed, letting him linger deep into Round 4.

But Ayomanor's production profile remains impressive. And he landed in a relatively wide-open Titans WR corps alongside a high-upside QB prospect in Cam Ward.

3.04 – Terrance Ferguson, TE, Rams

Shane: Ferguson's mid-second round draft capital gives him a boost in the starting TE race for the Rams.

He adds an element to the offense with the athleticism that earned the highest RAS among Combine TEs.

HC Sean McVay has stated his preference for an athletic TE, and Ferguson fits that better than anyone on the roster.

3.05 – Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Browns

Kevin: Fannin’s appeal as a prospect stems from his massive production. In 2024, he recorded the most single-season receptions (117) and yards (1,555) by a TE in FBS history.

Fannin could take over as Cleveland’s TE1 in 2026. David Njoku's current contract runs out after 2025.

3.06 – Jaydon Blue, RB, Cowboys

Matt: We shouldn't overlook that Blue languished on the board until Round 5, going 14th in a RB class that we might all have overrated heading into the draft. (Just six RBs went in the first three rounds.)

He's smallish -- 5'9, 196 pounds -- and logged just 214 total carries across three Texas seasons.

But Blue racked up a 42-368-6 receiving line last year, posted a 73rd-percentile speed score at the Combine, won't turn 22 until after his rookie season, and landed in a needy backfield.

If he hits, he could quickly prove helpful to our PPR teams.

3.07 – Jarquez Hunter, RB, Rams

Jared: It looks crowded in the Rams' backfield now. But Kyren Williams is only signed through 2025. And are we even sure that Blake Corum is any good?

Hunter is one of my favorite sleepers in this RB class. He ran for 1,201 yards on 6.4 yards per carry last year, ranking top-3 among 31 Combine RBs in rush yards over expected per attempt and PFF elusive rating.

3.08 – Jalen Royals, WR, Chiefs

Shane: I graded Royals as a second-round pick, but he fell to the late fourth. My comp for him is Rashee Rice, and now he backs up Rice on the Chiefs.

With a possible suspension looming, and a WR group that could thin out by 2026, Royals makes for an attractive long-term investment for a talented WR who becomes a RB after the catch.

3.09 – Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State

Kevin: Horton’s an early breakout with proven production: 265 catches, 3,615 yards, and 27 TDs across five seasons.

His 2024 got cut short by a knee injury that required surgery. Still, he suited up at the Combine and posted a 4.41-second 40 time at nearly 6’3, 196 pounds.

Horton has a chance to develop into Seattle’s WR2 over the long term.

3.10 – Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Lions

Matt: I'm with you. I thought it was goofy that Detroit took this guy as early as it did.

But that signals the Lions like him. And TeSlaa at least sports high-level athleticism. Will it ever translate to meaningful fantasy production? No idea. But this is late enough to bet on the traits and the Lions.

That said, I could just as easily go for any of the five RBs who followed this pick.

3.11 – Jordan James, RB, 49ers

Jared: I'll take a shot on a back that landed in Kyle Shanahan's always-efficient running game.

James should have a chance to compete with Isaac Guerendo for the 49ers' No. 2 RB job. If he wins, he'll be a Christian McCaffrey injury away from real fantasy relevance.

James is coming off a 1,267-yard, 15-TD season at Oregon, ranking fifth among 31 Combine RBs in PFF rushing grade.

3.12 – DJ Giddens, RB, Colts

Shane: Going to the Colts is unfortunate, with Jonathan Taylor under contract through 2026.

But if Taylor goes down, Giddens could be a top-24 RB weekly.

He had two straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons for Kansas State, can catch, and isn't afraid of contact. He could take over a three-down role if Taylor misses games.

Check out Kevin's full Giddens breakdown.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft – Round 4

xxx

4.01 – Trevor Etienne, RB, Panthers

Kevin: I expect Etienne to compete for the RB3 role to start, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him climb the depth chart in 2026.

The Georgia product boasts NFL size, speed, and burst. He also brings pass-catching upside to the Panthers.

Maybe he’s just insurance for Jonathon Brooks. But back-to-back ACL tears certainly give Brooks an uncertain outlook.

4.02 – Woody Marks, RB, Texans

Matt: Mid-Round 4 seemed like a slight reach for the Texans, based on the other RBs who remained on the board. But that indicates they like his combo of rushing and receiving skills.

Marks averaged 52.2 receptions across his five college seasons and could immediately win the No. 2 job in Houston. That'd put him a Joe Mixon injury away from starting in a strong offense.

4.03 – Devin Neal, RB, Saints

Jared: Neal fell to Round 6 as the 17th RB off the board. But there's still lots to like about his production profile. That includes 1,000+ rushing yards and 20+ catches in each of the last three seasons.

And there's opportunity in New Orleans, with Kendre Miller, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Jordan Mims behind soon-to-be 30-year-old Alvin Kamara.

Kevin was a fan of Neal after digging into his prospect profile.

4.04 – Tai Felton, WR, Vikings

Shane: Felton wasn't hyped much pre-draft, but he snuck into Day 2 as the final pick of Round 3.

He sports 4.37 speed at 6'1, giving him upside to win the WR3 job for the Vikings. (Jalen Nailor and Rondale Moore shouldn't provide much competition.)

If Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison go down, Felton could have spot start upside.

4.05 – Ollie Gordon II, RB, Dolphins

Kevin: Gordon looked like an elite college RB in 2023, rushing for 1,732 yards and 21 TDs on 285 attempts.

Then 2024 happened.

Gordon’s speed and burst dipped, just like his production (190-880-13 in two fewer games).

At this point, I’ll take a shot on a rebound in 2025 and beyond. Miami offers some short-term spot-start potential should De'Von Achane miss time.

4.06 – Brashard Smith, RB, Chiefs

Matt: Smith's a smaller (5'10, 194 pounds) pass-catching back who converted from WR just last season.

He drew workhorse usage in that lone SMU season, though, and then blazed a 4.39-second 40 time at the Combine.

Lasting until Round 7 means he's not likely to deliver much fantasy value at any point. But we've seen the Chiefs give rookie-year opportunity to a seventh-round RB (Isiah Pacheco) and undrafted free agent (Carson Steele) over just the past three years.

If Smith can prove he's a valuable complement to current backfield components, K.C. will put him out there.

4.07 – Savion Williams, WR, Packers

Jared: Williams has a long way to go as a WR. He'll likely be more of a gadget guy for the Packers early in his career. But there's exciting developmental potential for the 6'4, 222-pounder with the 4.48-second 40 time.

A perfect taxi squad stash.

4.08 – Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Chargers

Shane: Essentially playing WR at TE, Gadsden looks intriguing in an open TE situation for the Chargers. He adds a different element vs. Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin.

If OC Greg Roman can find a way to utilize Gadsden's receiving ability, the Syracuse alum could develop into a useable fantasy TE.

4.09 – Jaylin Lane, WR, Commanders

Kevin: Lane (5'10, 191) brings electric speed and burst with a 94th-percentile 40 time and an 88th-percentile 10-yard split.

There’s some long-term opportunity for targets in Washington, as Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel are nearly 30 years old.

4.10 – Tahj Brooks, RB, Bengals

Matt: I know less about Brooks than Shane and Jared did when they pumped him up on this RB prospect preview podcast.

I do know he's coming off a pair of workhorse seasons at Texas Tech and arriving in a Cincinnati backfield with iffy depth behind Chase Brown. That's enough for a late-Round 4 selection.

4.11 – Tyler Shough, QB, Saints

Jared: I don't necessarily believe in Shough as a long-term NFL starter. But this feels like good value on a QB with a real shot to start a bunch of games this season.

If Shough turns in a few solid fantasy outings, he could become a nice trade chip that returns more value than I'm giving up to take him here.

4.12 – Jalen Milroe, QB, Seahawks

Shane: Jared sniped me on Shough, but I'll take even more upside with Milroe.

He won't start this year, but that's a positive. Developing Milroe's passing is the way to unlock his fantasy-QB1 potential.

I'll stick him on my taxi squad and wait for 2026.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft – Round 5

xxx

5.01 – Gunnar Helm, TE, Titans

Kevin: Helm brings solid size (6’5, 241) and draft capital (Round 4). But it’s his 2024 production that’s most appealing.

He led Texas in catches (60), finished second in receiving yards (786), and tied for second in receiving TDs (7).

Helm could enter the starting lineup come 2026, when Chig Okonkwo hits free agency.

5.02 – Dont'e Thornton, WR, Raiders

Matt: Why does it feel like the last speedy Raiders WR who helped us in fantasy was Tim Brown?

Thornton's an intriguing physical specimen, with 6'5 stature and a 4.30-second 40 time.

He also managed just 65 total receptions across four college seasons split between two schools. That's why he made it to Day 3 of the NFL Draft and Round 5 of this one. But at this stage, you just need to find a reason to take a shot on a player.

Let's see what happens with a beanpole who led FBS with 25.4 yards per catch last season.

5.03 – Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Commanders

Jared: Croskey-Merritt went late in Round 7 — but I'd consider that a win after he didn't even get a Combine invite.

Eligibility issues limited JCM to one game last year, but his 2023 was impressive:

• 1,190 yards
• 17 TDs
• 6.3 yards per carry
• 92.5 PFF rushing grade

He'll need to battle to make Washington's roster this summer. But neither Brian Robinson Jr. nor Austin Ekeler is untouchable.

5.04 – Damien Martinez, RB, Seahawks

Shane: My sleeper heading into the draft, Martinez got abysmal draft capital. He also sits behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, at best.

Martinez topped 980 rushing yards in every college season and showed off solid athleticism for his size.

I don't know why he fell, but if Walker does move on in free agency next year, perhaps Martinez can find a role. Check out his dynasty value report for more on why we expected him to go earlier.

5.05 – Chimere Dike, WR, Titans

Kevin: The Titans drafted Dike ahead of WR Elic Ayomanor, who came off the board later in Round 4. I prefer Ayomanor straight up – but at this point in the draft, there’s no risk to chasing Dike’s 4.34 speed.

He exits college with 16.3 yards per catch.

5.06 – Kyle Monangai, RB, Bears

Matt: Monangai won't wow anyone. And as a seventh-round pick, he's unlikely to become much of a fantasy factor. But he did leave Rutgers as the school's No. 2 career rusher behind only Ray Rice, and the rookie plays well in pass protection.

Most importantly, he joins a meh Chicago backfield that counts D'Andre Swift as the leader and Roschon Johnson as the unproven No. 2.

So there's at least opportunity to compete for an early role under a new coaching staff that inherited Swift and Johnson.

5.07 – LeQuint Allen, RB, Jaguars

Jared: Allen joins a crowded Jaguars backfield and is a longshot as a seventh-round pick. But he's clearly a better pass catcher than Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten, giving him some PPR appeal.

HC Liam Coen has already said that he thinks Allen can split out and play in the slot.

5.08 – Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan

Shane: Mullings was a one-year starter at Michigan, but his power between the tackles intrigues me.

Fighting for a roster spot behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears isn't ideal, but Mullings is worth a late flier.

5.09 – Jordan Watkins, WR, 49ers

Kevin: Watkins probably earns his living on special teams. But he received decent draft capital (Round 4) and brings 4.37 speed at nearly 200 pounds.

Note: Jauan Jennings is entering a contract year. And we'll see how much the team can develop second-year WR Ricky Pearsall.

5.10 – Ricky White, WR, Seahawks

Matt: White led this year's WR class in 2024 target share, reception share, and yardage share. He ranked second in yards per team pass attempt and third in TD market share.

Why'd he slide to Round 7? Probably because he's not a physical standout -- though the size and speed are fine -- and it sounds like coaches are more excited about his special teams play than offensive potential right now.

But GM John Schneider compares White to former Packers WR Donald Driver (also a seventh-rounder):

5.11 – Phil Mafah, RB, Cowboys

Jared: There's nothing particularly exciting about Mafah's college production profile — and he lasted until the late seventh round of the NFL Draft. But landing in Dallas at least gives him one of the league's easiest paths to playing time.

Even fifth-round rookie Jaydon Blue is unlikely to garner big rushing volume. Mafah has the size to do so at 234 pounds.

5.12 – Isaiah Bond, WR, Free Agent

Shane: As of this writeup, Bond has still not signed. He was recently charged with sexual assault, and teams are likely awaiting some legal clarity.

Before the arrest, Bond was expected to be a top-100 pick. If I can stash him for the next few months to see if he gets picked up, it's worth a pick at the end of the draft.

Worst case, he is an easy cut.
