Coming this summer!

Dynasty | With the ninth pick of the fifth round, the San Francisco 49ers add Oregon RB Jordan James. Dynasty Analysis: Another year, another mid-to-late round addition to the 49ers backfield. James will add some physicality as the next man in behind Christian McCaffrey and Isaac Guerendo. The rookie shouldn't be much of a threat to either's workload in the short term, but will be an interesting name to keep an eye on, given McCaffrey's age and recent injury history.

Dynasty | With the 12th pick of the fifth round, the Dallas Cowboys selected Texas RB Jaydon Blue. Dynasty Analysis: Blue introduces speed to the backfield that neither Williams nor Sanders can replicate, which could equate to more playing time than we would otherwise see out of a fifth-round selection. We've seen both veterans lose work due to inefficient play in recent seasons, so they could both be in trouble of losing touches right out of the gate if Blue hits the ground running.

Dynasty | With the 14th pick of the fifth round, the Indianapolis Colts select Kansas State RB DJ Giddens. Dynasty Analysis: Giddens has the requisite size at 6'0", 212 pounds, but doesn't have any particularly explosive aspects to his game that will force the team to take Jonathan Taylor off the field. Expect him to rotate in with both Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson, and keep an eye on him if Taylor happens to have any injury issues.

Dynasty | With the third pick of the sixth round, the Miami Dolphins selected Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon. Dynasty Analysis: A year after taking speedster Jaylen Wright in the fourth round, the Dolphins continue to keep speed the most important aspect of their backfield by adding Ollie Gordon as a potential Raheem Mostert replacement. This shouldn't have any impact on De'Von Achane's Dynasty value, but things would have looked better for Wright if he were only competing with Alexander Mattison for backup duties.

Dynasty | With the eighth pick of the sixth round, the New Orleans Saints selected Kansas RB Devin Neal. Dynasty Analysis: Kendre Miller ended up getting a little more run as a complementary role for Alvin Kamara in 2024, but all bets are off with a new coaching staff in town. Luckily for him, the team waited until the sixth round to add Neal, so the third-year back is likely still in the driver's seat for the No. 2 role for now, but it makes his Dynasty value a little more iffy than if the Saints just rolled with Jordan Mims and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The Indianapolis Colts have selected Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard with the 189th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. A Duke transfer, Leonard racked up 2,861 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions during his one and only season with the Fighting Irish. He also rushed for 906 yards and another 17 touchdowns on the ground. Leonard is capable of making big, accurate throws down the field, but he can also keep defenses guessing with his ability to roll out of the pocket and make plays. He joins a Colts quarterback room that features two other mobile quarterbacks, Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Leonard likely won't earn playing time in Week 1, but with glaring quarterback questions in Indianapolis, he could push for an opportunity to earn snaps down the stretch.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Ohio State quarterback Will Howard with the 185th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Howard looked like a polished passer at times last season, leading the Buckeyes to a national championship. He pairs his good mechanics and accuracy with the mobility needed to make plays on the run. As a senior, he ultimately led the Big 10 in completion percentage (73%), passing yards (4,010), and passing touchdowns (35). This selection is particularly intriguing because Howard could have a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job. Pittsburgh's quarterback room currently features Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, neither of whom has extensive starting experience at the NFL level.

Dynasty | With the 15th pick of the fourth round, the Los Angeles Rams select Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter. Dynasty Analysis: For the second year in a row, the Rams address the RB room behind Kyren Williams in the middle rounds. This might say more about Blake Corum's Dynasty value that Williams', though, as last year's Draft product was never able to take any earn any type of significant work in the offense. Williams remains a borderline RB1 Dynasty option, and is worth looking into in case managers are spooked by this most recent addition.

Dynasty | With the 18th pick of the fourth round, the Tennessee Titans select Texas TE Gunnar Helm. Dynasty Analysis: Helm had a disappointing scouting combine due mainly to a twisted ankle during his initial 40-yard-dash, and may have helped cause his slight tumble here in the Draft. Chigoziem Okonkwo has been a "what if?" Dynasty hold for a few years now, and this is now the first real competition to that title since he was taken in the fourth round of the 2022 Draft. Chig got an obvious upgrade at quarterback, but Tennessee also added two more wide receivers to deal with, which pushes Okonkwo's value even closer to TE2/3 range.

Dynasty | With the 24th pick of the fourth round, the Cleveland Browns add Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson. Dynasty Analysis: Behind Shedeur Sanders, no Cleveland Brown had a worse Draft weekend than Jerome Ford, who could go from bellcow to RB3 on his own team in the matter of days. Sampson is an interesting hold but Quinshon Judkins is the real winner here, as he should be the offensive engine while the team begins (another) rebuild.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | The Cleveland Browns select QB Shedeur Sanders with the sixth pick of the fifth round. Dynasty Analysis: It's hard to imagine a bigger nosedive in Dynasty value than Sanders received over Draft weekend. The Browns add him to a room now occupied by Dillon Gabriel (who was selected two rounds earlier), Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett. It's anybody's guess who will be helming the offense by Week 8, but Sanders remains the highest-upside Dynasty value, although Gabriel is now a little more intriguing than he was pre-Draft.

The Miami Dolphins have selected Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II with the 179th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Gordon is a good, physical downhill runner who has shown an ability to catch passes out of the backfield. He was a workhorse running back over his final two collegiate seasons, totaling 2,612 rushing yards, 509 receiving yards, and 36 touchdowns during that span. He'll join a Miami backfield that also features De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Alexander Mattison.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with the 181st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. McCord transferred from Ohio State to Syracuse ahead of the 2024 season, and during his final collegiate campaign, he led all FBS schools in completions, pass attempts, and passing yards. He totaled 34 passing touchdowns but also threw 12 interceptions. McCord's arm strength and upside are evident, but things can go awry when he gets forced outside of the pocket. He'll presumably have a chance to compete with Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the Eagles' backup quarterback job behind Jalen Hurts.

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Auburn wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith with the 158th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Shortly after, they used the 165th overall pick on Syracuse tight end Oronde Gadsden II. Lambert-Smith spent four seasons at Penn State before transferring to Auburn for his senior season. In 2024, he caught 50 passes for 981 yards and eight touchdowns. He has shown an ability to catch poorly thrown balls, but he lacks game-changing speed and separation. He projects as a depth piece behind Ladd McConkey, Tre Harris, Quentin Johnston, and Mike Williams. Meanwhile, Gadsden is a pass-catching tight end who can perform well in the slot. His large wingspan and athleticism can create mismatches over the middle, allowing him to come down with contested catches. He had 934 yards and seven touchdowns last season, and he should compete with Will Dissly for the No. 2 tight end job behind Tyler Conklin.

The Indianapolis Colts have selected Kansas State running back DJ Giddens with the 151st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a big-bodied runner with decent speed and the ability to find gaps at the line of scrimmage. Over his final two collegiate seasons, he totaled 2,569 rushing yards, 581 receiving yards, and 21 total touchdowns. Presumably, he'll have a chance to compete with Khalil Herbert for the No. 2 running back role behind Jonathan Taylor. Of course, Taylor remains the workhorse in Indianapolis, so Giddens would only become fantasy-relevant if Taylor gets injured.

Dynasty | With the 12th pick of the fourth round, the Carolina Panthers add RB Trevor Etienne. Dynasty Analysis: The Panthers had been focused on the defensive side of the ball since grabbing Tet McMillan in the first round, but circle back around to address the offense and another missed year from Jonathon Brooks. Etienne should lighten the load for Chuba Hubbard, but will most likely be featured on third downs, allowing the veteran to keep a lot of the early-down load. Hubbard should remain in consideration as a fringe RB2/3 option.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | With the 14th pick of the fourth round, the Houston Texans add RB Woody Marks. Dynasty Analysis: Houston was rumored to be in the mix for a running back way before this, but spent most of Day 2 addressing their offensive line and wide receiver depth, so this is ultimately good news for the veteran Joe Mixon. Though the Texans did trade up for Marks, Mixon should remain a top-15 RB option for contending Dynasty squads.

The Dallas Cowboys have selected Texas running back Jaydon Blue with the 149th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blue isn't a dominant tackle breaker, but he has good downfield speed and can make an impact as a dual-threat option out of the backfield. He rushed 134 times for 730 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground last year, and he added an additional 42 catches, 368 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns through the air. Entering the draft, Dallas' backfield was headlined by Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, and Deuce Vaughn, so Blue has a chance to carve out a role right away. He's an intriguing rookie selection and could be worth a late-round flier in redraft leagues.

The San Francisco 49ers have selected Ole Miss wide receiver Jordan Watkins with the 138th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Watkins doesn't possess game-changing speed, but his physical playing style and dependable hands make him a solid slot receiver who can play through contact. His receiving skills were on display at Ole Miss, where he caught 49 passes for 906 yards and nine touchdowns. San Francisco shipped away Deebo Samuel Sr. this offseason, but Watkins is still buried on the depth chart behind Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall.

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired quarterback Sam Howell and the 172nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for the 142nd overall pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Vikings were in need of a backup quarterback after a busy offseason that saw Sam Darnold depart in free agency, leaving J.J. McCarthy (knee) as the team's presumptive starter. Ironically, Darnold went to the Seahawks, and Seattle also drafted Jalen Milroe on Friday, leaving Howell as the odd man out. Now, he'll bring his experience and leadership to Minnesota. It's an important addition for the Vikings given that McCarthy, who was last year's first-round pick, has not played a regular-season snap yet. He should start Week 1 this season, but Howell will be next in line if McCarthy suffers another injury or struggles.
