A Dream NFL Mock Draft for Fantasy Football

This is a 2025 NFL mock draft that takes ONLY fantasy football considerations into account. We tried put together the best possible draft board for fantasy intrigue. This is not at all predictive and is strictly a way to highlight some ideal landing spots for our favorite prospects!

Round 1

Pick 1: Tennessee Titans - QB Cam Ward
Steelers, Giants, and Browns would all have better supporting casts right away, but the draft capital spent on him here should ultimately give him a better runway. Hopefully the Titans add some additional weapons later in the draft.

Pick 2: Cleveland Browns - WR(!) Travis Hunter
Hunter would play the majority of offensive snaps. Cleveland is deep at cornerback, so he may not need to play full-time corner. With an offensive-minded and pass-first coach, the Browns have ranked top-4 in pass attempts each of the last 2 years. The only major concern is the lack of good QB play, with Flacco as their top QB. Hunter will likely be our rookie fantasy WR1 with this landing spot.

Pick 5: Jacksonville Jaguars - TE Tyler Warren
This would be ideal for Tyler Warren and eliminate all the Brenton Strange hype (who is currently the top TE on Jaguars with Evan Engram now on the Broncos). Evan Engram nearly set the TE reception record 2 seasons ago with Trevor Lawrence. With Brian Thomas Jr. on the team now, Warren would immediately become the #2 receiving option with this landing spot.

Pick 6: Las Vegas Raiders - RB Ashton Jeanty
This is the clearest path to bell cow usage of all the landing spots for Jeanty. He could legitimately lead the NFL in touches on the Raiders with Pete Carroll's run-first mentality. Jeanty will be in the conversation to be worth a top-10 pick in fantasy with this landing spot.

Pick 8: Carolina Panthers - WR Tet McMillan
The Panthers have the worst WR depth chart in the NFL, highlighted by Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette, and Adam Thielen. Tet would immediately be expected to lead this team in targets in year 1, and Bryce Young showed some promise towards the end of last season. This landing spot will give Tet the best chance to remain our rookie WR1 in this class.

Pick 9: New Orleans Saints - QB Jaxson Dart
In New Orleans, Dart would have a sneaky supporting cast with Olave, Shaheed, and Kamara. Kellen Moore is now the head coach, who has helped Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and Justin Herbert succeed over the past several years as an offensive coordinator. All those QBs also possess the mobile to semi-mobile skill set. The writing is on the wall that Derek Carr's time on the Saints is coming to an end, so Dart would have the chance to start Week 1 with this landing spot.

Pick 10: Chicago Bears - RB Omarion Hampton
The Bears' offensive line has improved from last season, and they now have Ben Johnson (former Lions OC) as their head coach. Hampton would immediately step in as the lead back in this offense with Swift playing a complementary role. Hampton's touchdown ceiling would be maximized with this landing spot, and he'd have sneaky upside as a receiver too.

Pick 12: Dallas Cowboys - WR Matthew Golden
This pick would solidify strong draft capital to give us more confidence with a receiver that has analytical question marks (never hit 1,000 receiving yards in college). He'd immediately fit in as the #2 receiver for the Cowboys with one of the truly solid QBs in the NFL.

Pick 20: Denver Broncos - RB Treyveon Henderson
Henderson would instantaneously be the most dynamic and exciting weapon on the Broncos' offense. Sean Payton has shown a propensity for peppering young RBs that he trusts with work (i.e., Alvin Kamara). As long as Henderson is turnover-free, this would be an immaculate landing spot for the former Buckeye.

Pick 21: Pittsburgh Steelers - QB Shedeur Sanders
There are question marks surrounding how the NFL views Shedeur Sanders as a talent. But if he falls to the Steelers, he'd instantly have a very solid chance of succeeding. There are several effective pass-catchers in Pittsburgh, and Sanders would be on the fast-track to starting immediately. *This assumes Aaron Rodgers doesn't sign with them prior to the draft.

Pick 22: Los Angeles Chargers - TE Colston Loveland
The Harbaugh connection, coupled with his ability to be a very effective pass-catcher, makes this landing spot a dream scenario. Loveland can line up out of the slot, and he'd see some excellent opportunities on this offense headlined by Justin Herbert.

Pick 23: Green Bay Packers - WR Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka is considered one of the most reliable WR prospects in this class, and that's exactly what Green Bay needs. They have a few solid pass-catchers, but Egbuka would quickly become the 1A to Jayden Reed's 1B.

Pick 26: Los Angeles Rams - QB Jalen Milroe
This is the ideal developmental landing spot for Milroe where he could learn from McVay for a year or two before taking over when Stafford retires.

Round 2

Pick 33: Cleveland Browns - QB Tyler Shough
Would have an excellent chance of starting year 1 considering he's 26. This would be the best-case scenario draft capital, but our hopes still would not be very high.

Pick 34: New York Giants - RB Kaleb Johnson
Johnson would quickly become the Giants' power back and see the goal line opportunities. He's an excellent complement to Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Pick 35: Tennessee Titans - WR Luther Burden
The team future is murky but there is a clear path to significant targets and strong draft capital at this pick.

Pick 38: New England Patriots - WR Jayden Higgins
Sadly, if Higgins is drafted by New England, he's going to be terrible because all Patriots WRs struggle. In a dream world where this isn't the case, Higgins would have a nice path to becoming the WR2 on this squad.

Pick 42: New York Jets - WR Elijah Arroyo
Arroyo is an incredible athlete that would have a solid opportunity to become the Jets' second pass-catching option.

Pick 44: Dallas Cowboys - RB Quinshon Judkins
Judkins would thrive in Dallas. There is minimal competition, and his skill set is the kind that Jerry Jones loves in a running back. He'd be a major fantasy contributor immediately.

Pick 46: Atlanta Falcons - WR Jaylin Noel
Noel would have an immediate slot role alongside Mooney and London, could grow into the #2 receiver for Penix.

Pick 47: Arizona Cardinals - WR Kyle Williams
Williams would be the immediate WR2 for Arizona behind Marvin Harrison Jr. This team will be down in games, meaning he'd have a solid opportunity of seeing a fantasy-relevant target share early on.

Pick 55: Los Angeles Chargers - RB Bhayshul Tuten
With receiving upside, Tuten is a fantastic compliment to Najee Harris.

Pick 57: Carolina Panthers (from Rams) - TE Harold Fannin Jr.
Fannin operates very well from the slot and would have an excellent pathway to becoming a safety blanket for Bryce Young.

Pick 62: Buffalo Bills - WR Elic Ayomanor
Ayomanor complements the Bills' current weapons well and would have the potential for boom games early on.

Pick 63: Kansas City Chiefs - RB RJ Harvey
Harvey would fill a sneaky hole for the Chiefs. Kareem Hunt is aging, and Pacheco did not look like himself after his injury. Harvey is dynamic, and the Chiefs would eventually find the best way to implement him.

Round 3

Pick 69: New England Patriots - RB Cam Skattebo
Skattebo fills a pass-catching role for the Pats. He's the kind of personality that Vrabel would love to have, and he'd earn his trust quickly.

Pick 80: Indianapolis Colts - TE Mason Taylor
The Colts have a tough QB situation here but also a path to an immediate year 1 role for a tight end.

Pick 83: Pittsburgh Steelers - RB Devin Neal
Neal is one of the sleeper RBs in the class, and he'd mesh very well with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. Both of those backs can catch passes, while Neal takes a majority of the in-between-the-tackles work.

Round 4

Pick 103: Tennessee Titans - WR Xavier Restrepo
He played with Ward in college, and he'd be someone who would assist him in acclimating to the league.

Pick 119: Cincinnati Bengals - WR Jack Bech
Former role as a tight end and will likely be a slot player in the NFL. Could grow into the valuable Gesicki role in a couple of years.

Pick 122: Denver Broncos - WR Tez Johnson
Johnson is Bo Nix's brother, and this would be his best chance to succeed, considering his lack of size.

Round 7

Pick 229: Pittsburgh Steelers (from Falcons through Eagles) - WR Savion Williams
We want him to be mentored by Cordarrelle Patterson! He's a very similar player to Patterson, and Arthur Smith could effectively involve Williams in the RPO game.
