2025 Rookie Superflex Two-Round Mock Draft
Drafting before we have draft capital and landing spots may be tricky. When diving into the unknown, you must ensure you have the analysis and cross-referencing ability to make the plunge. This article series will provide updates on touchpoints like the Senior Bowl and the 2025 rookie class. The top-level prospects will be solidified with limited fluctuation in their draft positions as the idea of taking the best player available and team needs are to be considered. The remaining rounds are where we may see the largest shift in values.
The article series started with a one-round mock draft. This article will be a two-round mock draft after the Senior Bowl. This exercise helps provide you with information surrounding various NFL draft prospects as the offseason progresses.
Superflex Mock Draft Round 1
1.01 - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Jeff Blaylock - Don't overthink this. If you have Pick 1.01, you take Ashton Jeanty. If you have Pick 1.01 and don't need or want Jeanty, trade down with someone who does. The Boise State running back and Heisman Trophy runner-up rushed for 2,601 yards and scored 29 touchdowns. While Jeanty was not much of a factor in the passing game in 2024, he caught 43 passes for 569 yards and five touchdowns in 2023. He is a three-down back capable of taking on an immediate workhorse role. Jeanty has the patience and lateral explosiveness to evade would-be tacklers, and his elite contact balance makes him hard to bring down even when he gets hit. Some scouts will label him undersized, but Jeanty is the same height as Kyren Williams and De'Von Achane but heavier than either. He has the physicality and talent to be an immediate league winner.
1.02 - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Josh Fahlsing - I don't yet like any quarterback enough to take one here. Maybe that changes as the draft season progresses, but right now, I'll turn my attention to wide receiver. McMillan is currently ranked as the first rookie wide receiver in the Footballguys Staff composite rankings - and just about everywhere else on Planet Earth and Beyond.
When the dust settles on this draft season, I expect him to be the first wide receiver off the board in both NFL drafts and in your rookie drafts at home, though I think it will be closer between him and Luther Burden than many people expect. I expect McMillan and Burden to grade out about the same in my rankings, but I think the NFL will favor McMillan. If I were on the clock today, I would too.
1.03 - Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Corey Spala—I would have preferred to have McMillan here, as I see more safety in him than Cam Ward. Speculation surrounding the strength of the quarterback position relative to other classes does not mean you ignore a potential first-round quarterback. Clouds from Kenny Pickett's and Mac Jones' shadows create shade within Ward's uncertainty. He has the arm talent and improvisational skills desired at the NFL level, but he will need to refine his tools to develop his skill set further.
Ward is expected to be a first-round pick and will likely start games this season. If you are selecting high and this was your draft slot (not traded for), you are likely rebuilding and will need the potential longevity Ward hopes to provide.
1.04 - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Jeff Blaylock - I would have chosen Cam Ward here if he were still available, but Corey sniped me. I'll settle for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who pairs a cannon of an arm with surgeon-like accuracy. In 2024, he completed 74 percent of his passes. Only five quarterbacks in the BCS-College Football Playoff era have achieved a higher single-season completion percentage with a minimum of 400 attempts. His 37 passing touchdowns ranked second only to Ward's. Sanders has the mobility to extend plays, but the downside of his improvisational brilliance is holding the ball too long and moving backward in the pocket under pressure. He has been sacked 90 times over the past two seasons. His NFL success may be directly related to his offensive line's ability to protect him. Unfortunately, teams with high first-round picks don't typically have that kind of offensive line. I have seen some grumbling online about nebulous character issues, but I do not share those views. He has the poise and talent to be a superstar if he can stay on the field. One thing Sanders definitely will not stay on for very long is Superflex draft boards.
1.05 - Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
Josh Fahlsing - I wondered whether Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders would slide to the fifth pick, and it turns out the answer is no, you dummy, they won't. If you think one of those guys is your answer at quarterback, you'll probably need to be in the top four.
I'm not sold on either one yet, so I'm glad not to have to make that choice and instead grab the wide receiver I think has the best chance to challenge McMillan as the top rookie at that position. Burden didn't participate in the Senior Bowl, but I have him and McMillan neck and neck at the top of my rankings. Nothing much has changed from when I took him at 1.07 in a super flex draft last week. He sits just a couple of points ahead of Travis Hunter for the wide receiver two in our most recent Footballguys Staff composite rankings, but I like him closer to McMillan.
1.06 - Travis Hunter, WR, Colorado
Corey Spala - Travis Hunter won the Heisman for his ability to play football, and it is hard to ignore the best wide receiver in the class. The unknown within his offensive snap count will be the storyline of the dynasty offseason. As our own Jagger May alluded to, he is more than a Devin Hester gadget player. His elite athleticism, paired with his ability to create separation and catch the ball, is on par with the expectation of a first-round wide receiver talent. I am trusting the talent and his ability to play the position; an NFL team would be foolish not to utilize his offensive ability in their scheme.
1.07 - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Jeff Blaylock - Corey relieved me of agonizing over whether Travis Hunter's potential as a wide receiver outweighs the risk of him being relegated to a rarely used gadget player. Instead, I get a choice between running backs Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson. I chose Hampton, who finished third nationally with 1,660 rushing yards and ninth with 373 receiving yards. At 6-foot-0 and 220 pounds, Hampton has the power to run through defenders, especially if his shoulders are square to the line of scrimmage. This makes him an ideal gap runner and, importantly for dynasty managers, a powerful short-yardage goal-to-go option. Hampton can immediately see the field as a three-down back, making him a desirable consolation prize if trading up for Jeanty proves to be too expensive.
1.08 - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Josh Fahlsing - This is shaping up as a nice deep draft for running backs, both at the top and for backs worth taking flyers on later, but there isn't a lot to separate the three backs after Jeanty. I think Hampton ends up as the second running back off the board in many rookie drafts, and so does Jeff Blaylock as he sniped me here.
I'll pivot to TreyVeyon Henderson, the consensus third-ranked RB in Footballguys composite rankings. This pick could easily have been one of Henderson's highly ranked teammates, Emeka Egbuka. I'm a sucker for running backs, though, and I have Henderson just a hair higher than Quinshon Judkins right now, so that's my pick. Henderson combines size, speed, and college production that projects well at the next level. If he lands with solid draft capital on a good team, he could rocket up rookie draft boards by spring.
1.09 - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Corey Spala - Emeka Egbuka is a projected first-round wide receiver, which is hard to pass on a baseline analysis. Pairing with his ability to separate as a route runner with burst and yards-after-catch ability, makes this an easy ninth overall selection. He is one of two wide receivers with over 1,000 yards in two seasons at Ohio State. I am not letting a slot designation interfere with his talent and ability to provide value to an NFL team.
Egbuka, with the ninth selection here, provides a safe floor for outcomes. You are not risking much relative to a selection of an unknown draft capital of running backs, tight ends, or a quarterback.
1.10 - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Jeff Blaylock - Emeka Egbuka was my pick at 1.10 in an earlier mock, so I'm grateful Corey forced me to discuss a different player this time. I am loathe to use an early-round pick on a tight end. However, after passing on Brock Bowers last year, I convinced myself to take Tyler Warren at 1.10, perhaps as much because of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) than Warren's potential dynasty value. His 1,233 receiving yards ranked as the second-most for a tight end this season and the fifth-most in any season during the BCS-College Football Playoff era. Standing at 6-foot-6, he is two inches taller than Bowers and weighs 30 pounds more. Warren's size gives him a wide catch radius, an ability to high-point the ball in traffic, and a toughness to prevail through contact. As a converted quarterback, Warren has the football IQ to exploit soft spots in zone coverage, which makes him a tantalizing red zone option. He's equally comfortable as a short-yardage safety net and as a downfield target. Warren needs to improve his run-blocking and crispness of his route-running to earn an every-down role. He may not have the immediate success of Bowers, but I expect Warren will develop quickly into a weekly TE1.
1.11 - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Josh Fahlsing - After Henderson went at 1.08, I feared that Egbuka and Warren would be the next two off the board, and they were. I decided to turn to running backs again, and I'm surprised at my options with the 11th pick. Similar to his teammate Henderson, Judkins checks many of the size, speed, and production boxes you want to see for a running back coming out of college. I gave him the edge here over Kaleb Johnson, Ollie Gordon III, and Devin Neal, my next running backs, because I think Judkins ends up closer to the Hampton and Henderson tier. If I'm right, he could be a steal at the end of the first round.
1.12 - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Corey Spala - I had a hard time deciding between Colston Loveland and Kaleb Johnson. I am putting trust into my tight-end scouting and Loveland's projected first-round NFL draft capital; he is my number one rookie tight end. He is the only tight end to have over two yards per route run against man and zone coverage in multiple seasons dating back to 2018.
Loveland is generating first-round NFL draft capital for good reason. The NFL is a copy-cat league, and the tight end position is being featured. He has the desired frame, instincts, and pass-catching ability to provide value at a volatile position.
