Matty Kiwoom’s NFL mock 2.0
As the NFL combine kicks off, the landscape of the league is shifting with each team strategizing to secure their future. The 2025 class is not considered an elite one so the landscape is becoming increasingly unpredictable. How many quarterbacks are drafted in round one? Will we see double digit running backs taken in the top 100? There are so many questions that the fantasy world has zero answers for. This three round NFL mock reflects the rumors, rumblings, and narratives that are being heard throughout the sport. Enjoy the top 100 pick predictions and fantasy relevant write ups in my NFL mock draft 2.0.
Round 1
1.01 Tennessee Titans: Edge Abdul Carter Penn State
1.02 Cleveland Browns: DL Mason Graham Michigan
1.03 New York Giants: QB Shadeur Sanders Colorado
If Shedeur Sanders is selected third overall by the New York Giants, his fantasy value could see a major boost with the chance to lead a rebuilding offense. Known for his poise and accuracy, Sanders would bring immediate fantasy relevance, especially in a pass-heavy offense that has Malik Nabers.
1.04 New England Patriots: OL Will Campbell LSU
1.05 Jacksonville Jaguars: CB/WR Travis Hunter Colorado
Landing in Jacksonville would be a great landing spot for Travis Hunter to fully reach his unique skill set. However this would probably mean that he plays primarily as a corner and gets a few plays at WR. Not a good spot for his fantasy value out of the gate.
1.06 Las Vegas Raiders: CB Will Johnson Michigan
1.07 New York Jets: QB Cam Ward Miami
Cam Ward could provide the Jets with both passing and rushing production, making him an intriguing fantasy prospect. His fantasy value would largely depend on his development behind the Jets offense. He would have Garrett Wilson to throw to which will make things easier. Top 10 draft capital means he is worth considering with a top 3 rookie pick.
1.08 Carolina Panthers: TE Tyler Warren Penn State
Known for his athleticism and strong blocking ability, Warren could quickly develop into a key target in both the passing game and red-zone opportunities. With Carolina’s offense in need of consistent playmakers, Warren’s potential for long-term fantasy production, particularly in tight end premium formats, makes him an enticing pick for dynasty managers looking for upside at the position.
1.09 New Orleans Saints: DL Mykel Williams Georgia
1.10 Chicago Bears: OL Josh Simmons Ohio State
1.11 San Francisco 49ers: OL Kelvin Banks Jr. Texas
1.12 Dallas Cowboys: RB Ashton Jeanty Boise State
If Ashton Jeanty is selected 12th overall by the Dallas Cowboys, his value in dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts would skyrocket and immediately be considered a candidate for the 1.01 in rookie drafts. He would be an appealing choice for managers looking for a versatile running back with the potential for significant touches and long-term fantasy value.
1.13 Miami Dolphins: OL Armand Membou Missouri
1.14 Indianapolis Colts: TE Colston Loveland Michigan
Loveland's combination of size, athleticism, and ability to stretch the field makes him a potential go-to target in the red zone and could become a key piece in the Colts' offense early in his career. With the potential to develop a strong connection with young quarterback Anthony Richardson, Loveland could offer high upside as a long-term asset in dynasty leagues, particularly in tight end premium formats.
1.15 Atlanta Falcons: Edge Mike Green Marshall
1.16 Arizona Cardinals: LB Jalon Walker Georgia
1.17 Cincinnati Bengals: OG Tyler Booker Alabama
1.18 Seattle Seahawks: OG Grey Zabel North Dakota State
1.19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Jahdae Barron Texas
1.20 Denver Broncos: WR Tetairoa McMillan Arizona
The Broncos using their first round pick on Tet would help his value given the team's need for playmakers at wide receiver. McMillan’s smooth route running, strong hands, and deep-threat ability make him an intriguing prospect, especially with a developing quarterback in Bo Nix. He could emerge as a key target in the Broncos’ offense, with potential for consistent production and long-term upside as he builds chemistry with Nix.
1.21 Pittsburgh Steelers: RB Omarion Hampton North Carolina
The Steelers’ offense could provide a solid platform for Hampton to thrive and the DC would boost his fantasy value. Known for his power and vision, Hampton would likely compete for early-down work and could quickly emerge as a focal point in the run game.
1.22 Los Angeles Chargers: RB TreVeyon Henderson Ohio State
This landing spot would be highly attractive, especially given the Chargers' pass-heavy offense and need for a dynamic running back. Henderson's blend of speed, agility, and receiving ability makes him a perfect fit for an offense. Hendo would carve out a significant role right away and be a lock to be a first rounder in rookie drafts.
1.23 Green Bay Packers: DL Walter Nolen Ole Miss
1.24 Minnesota Vikings: DL Kenneth Grant Michigan
1.25 Houston Texans: OL Josh Conerly Jr. Oregon
1.26 Los Angeles Rams: CB Azareye’h Thomas Florida State
1.27 Baltimore Ravens: LB Jihaad Campbell Alabama
1.28 Detroit Lions: DL Shemar Stewart Texas A&M
1.29 Washington Commanders: WR Emeka Egbuka Ohio State
Going to the Commies would be intriguing, as Egbuka could quickly become a key piece in an evolving passing game. Known for his sharp route running and ability to make plays after the catch, he would have the opportunity to build with Jayden Daniels in year one. This pick could elevate him over McMillan in rookie drafts.
1.30 Buffalo Bills: DL TJ Sanders South Carolina
1.31 Kansas City Chiefs: DL Deone Walker Kentucky
1.32 Philadelphia Eagles: Edge James Pearce Jr. Tennessee
Round 2
2.01 Cleveland Browns: OL Donovan Jackson Ohio State
2.02 New York Giants: WR Luther Burden III Missouri
This would be catastrophic for Luther Burden III’s celing due to sharing the field with star wideout, Malik Nabers. Maybe not the best for Burden’s fantasy value but it would certainly boost Sanders.
2.03 Tennessee Titans: S Malaki Starks Georgia
2.04 Jacksonville Jaguars: DL Derrick Harmon Oregon
2.05 Las Vegas Raiders: Edge Nic Scourton Texas A&M
2.06 New England Patriots: WR Matthew Golden Texas
While he has the talent to carve out a significant role and earn a ton of volume if he builds a good rapport with Drake Maye. This offense is not a lock to be reliable for fantasy production but Golden will have the runway to become a WR worth taking at the early part of round two of rookie drafts.
2.07 Chicago Bears: Edge Jack Sawyer Ohio State
2.08 New Orleans Saints: CB Shavon Revel East Carolina
2.09 Chicago Bears: DL Darius Alexander Toledo
2.10 New York Jets: DL Landon Jackson Arkansas
2.11 San Francisco 49ers: Edge JT Tuimoloau Ohio State
2.12 Dallas Cowboys: Edge Princely Umanmielen Ole Miss
2.13 Indianapolis Colts: CB Benjamin Morrison Notre Dame
2.14 Atlanta Falcons: LB Demetrius Knight South Carolina
2.15 Arizona Cardinals: Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku Boston College
2.16 Miami Dolphins: S Xavier Watts Notre Dame
2.17 Cincinnati Bengals: DL Alfred Collins Texas
2.18 Seattle Seahawks: Edge Kyle Kennard South Carolina
2.19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Edge Jared Ivey Ole Miss
2.20 Denver Broncos: S Sabastian Castro Iowa
2.21 Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Jaxson Dart Ole Miss
Jaxson Dart may not start immediately, but his mobility and arm talent make him an intriguing long-term stash. In dynasty rookie drafts, he’d likely be a late-second to early-third round pick in Superflex formats, offering long-term upside but requiring patience.
2.22 Los Angeles Chargers: Edge Josaiah Stewart Michigan
2.23 Green Bay Packers: CB Trey Amos Ole Miss
2.24 Buffalo Bills: WR Tre Harris Ole Miss
Harris’s combination of size and speed could make him a strong complement to Josh Allen’s deep passing attack, giving him solid upside as a rookie. In dynasty rookie drafts, this landing spot would likely push him into the late first to early second round.
2.25 Houston Texans: WR Isaiah Bond Texas
With Tank Dell recovering from a gruesome knee injury, Bond brings speed that could allow him to carve out a role alongside Nico Collins. Though target competition may limit his immediate ceiling, this landing spot would likely make him a mid-to-late second-round pick due to upside in CJ Stroud’s offense.
2.26 Carolina Panthers: Edge Bradyn Swinson LSU
2.27 Baltimore Ravens: OL Aireontae Ersery Minnesota
2.28 Detroit Lions: OL Wyatt Milum West Virginia
2.29 Washington Commanders: RB Kaleb Johnson Iowa
Kaleb Johnson brings a well rounded skill set that could one day make him a bell cow, but his fantasy ceiling may be limited if the backfield remains crowded. This landing spot would likely make him a mid-to-late second-round pick in superflex rookie drafts and offer fantasy managers massive upside but immediate workload uncertainty.
2.30 Buffalo Bills: LB Carson Schwesinger UCLA
2.31 Kansas City Chiefs: OL Ozzy Trapilo Boston College
2.32 Philadelphia Eagles: S Nick Emmanwori South Carolina
