Coming this summer!

The Los Angeles Rams have traded the No. 26 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for the 46th pick, 242nd pick, and a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Rams also moved the 101st overall pick in the deal. With the third trade of the night, the Falcons moved up to select Tennessee defensive end James Pearce Jr.

The Minnesota Vikings have selected Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Jackson has tackle and guard experience, but he projects to move back inside for Minnesota due to his prowess in the run game. The 22-year-old has enough athleticism to be efficient at the second level and is an excellent choice to lead on long pulls and counters in the run game. Aside from losing center Garrett Bradbury in free agency, Minnesota's offensive line is on the rise heading into 2025 with the return of tackle Christian Darrisaw and the addition of Jackson. It bodes well for second-year signal-caller J.J. McCarthy -- when he's healthy -- and the run game headed by RB Aaron Jones ahead of next season.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Georgia defensive back Malaki Starks with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. Starks will play center field at the safety position for Baltimore, a big position of need for the Ravens entering this year's draft. He has a very high football character and IQ and was named as a second-team All SEC player while leading the Bulldogs with 77 tackles and started all 14 games in 2024. Starks was a three-year starter for Georgia and plenty of size, athleticism, speed and ball skills to excel right away next to Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore's secondary. He doesn't play much near the line of scrimmage, but Starks should be a starter for the Ravens sooner than later. Starks has played much better in zone defense than when he's asked to cover receivers in man-to-man coverage.

Dynasty | The Tampa Bay Bucs drafted wide receiver Emeka Egbuka with the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: While Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have remained the obvious 1-2 punch in Tampa Bay, there was a chance that Jalen McMillan was going to see a little more action in 2025. That doesn't look to be the case anymore. The Bucs should continue to run plenty of 3-WR sets, but that will no doubt be Evans/Godwin/Egbuka, as long as they all stay healthy. With that said, Evans will be a free agent after 2025, and Godwin missed ten games last season, so McMillan may remain a hold where roster space allows.

Dynasty | The Los Angeles Chargers drafted running back Omarion Hampton with the 22nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: After the Broncos and Steelers both passed on Hampton, he fell right into the lap of the Chargers towards the end of round one. They certainly won't complain as Hampton should form a solid running back committee with newly signed Najee Harris. While many dynasty managers may be slamming their hands on the table because they wanted to see Hampton drafted in a more desirable place for short-term production, one only needs to look at the contract of Harris and realize Hampton is a year away from possible bellcow status. Savvy dynasty managers should look at this as a solid spot and Hampton looks like a top-3 pick in dynasty leagues moving forward.

Dynasty | With the 22nd overall pick, the Los Angeles Chargers selected North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton. Dynasty Analysis: The potential Chargers Najee Harris hype didn't last very long. This is about as bad as it could have been for a resurgent year from Harris, who now has tougher competition than he had the last couple of seasons in Pittsburgh. We should consider the veteran an obvious Dynasty RB3 after it looked like he was sneaking back into RB2 range after his signing with L.A.

Dynasty | The Green Bay Packers select Texas WR Matthew Golden at No. 23 overall. Dynasty Analysis: Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, and now, the team's first first-round WR in over 20 years. As usual, the Packers receivers will be difficult to value, but this sort of Draft capital points toward the newest addition taking a good chunk of the target share. Doubs, Wicks, and Watson likely receive the biggest sink in their Dynasty values, with Watson's injury looking even tougher to overcome with Golden in the building. The biggest winner of this addition is QB Jordan Love, who gets an inside-outside guy who can put corners in a blender.

Dynasty | The Green Bay Packers drafted Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: And with that, the streak is over as the Packers hadn't taken a wide receiver in round one since 2002. Golden slots in with the likes of Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks in what looks to be a pretty crowded room of good wide receivers. The difference is Golden has a chance to be great and we haven't really seen that consistently from any of the others on the roster. Golden slid a little in the draft but ended up landing in a good spot from a dynasty standpoint. Golden was a top-10 pick in the pre-draft process and he'll likely stay in that range post-draft.

Dynasty | The New York Giants traded back into round one to take Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Giants used the #3 pick on stud pass rusher Abdul Carter but still found a way to get a quarterback in the end. There were rumors Dart could go ahead of Shedeur Sanders and in the end, that came to fruition. Dart will likely sit behind Russell Wilson and/or Jameis Winston at the beginning of the season but any struggles from the position will vault him into the top spot in quick order. The Giants haven't sold the farm for him, but it's clear they believe he can be a franchise quarterback. Dart will likely compete with Sanders to be the second quarterback taken in rookie drafts, but nobody is going to challenge Cam Ward for the top spot in rookie drafts this year.

The Green Bay Packers have chosen Texas Longhorn wide receiver Matthew Golden at No. 23 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. In a wild turn of events, the Pack selected their first first-round wideout since 2002. Golden didn't post gaudy numbers during his collegiate years. Still, he boasts blazing speed set to torment any NFL defense -- famously out-running former Texas teammate Isaiah Bond at the combine with a blistering 4.29 40-yard dash. He'll enter a loaded WR corps in Green Bay, joining incumbent starters Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and solid rotational piece Dontayvion Wicks. Golden's avenue to playing time appears murky at this time, considering most of his playing time came from the slot, where Reed would typically occupy. However, he possesses game-altering speed that will make it difficult to keep him off the field.

The Atlanta Falcons traded up with the Los Angeles Rams and selected Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Falcons took Georgia edge rusher Jalon Walker with their first pick in the first round at No. 15. It's not a surprise that the Falcons loaded up on the defensive line early in this draft given how lacking they were in the pass-rush department in 2024. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Pearce is explosive off the ball with good speed and power, but he wasn't all that consistent with the Volunteers at the collegiate level. The young pass-rusher was a first-team All SEC selection last year and led Tennessee with 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks while playing in all 13 games (nine starts). Pearce's weakness is that he lacks bend, and he'll need to improve his technique as a run defender. But in terms of need, the Falcons hit on both of their first-round picks.

The Los Angeles Chargers have selected former North Carolina Tar Heel running back Omarion Hampton with the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Hampton was the consensus second-ranked RB in this class, and he'll enter a favorable situation in Jim Harbaugh's offense. The bruising back has been electric during his time at North Carolina, rushing for 15 touchdowns in each of the prior two seasons while eclipsing 1,500 rushing yards on exactly 5.9 yards per carry in each campaign. He has all the tools necessary to succeed at the next level, though his early playing time may be capped with Los Angeles acquiring fellow RB Najee Harris this offseason. Still, Hampton offers much more juice and explosiveness than Harris in a similar sturdy frame, and both Chargers backs -- Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins -- garnered 100+ carries in 2024. Furthermore, the former Pittsburgh Steeler is set to become a free agent after this season.

The Broncos added to their defensive secondary by selecting cornerback Jahdae Barron out of Texas with the No. 20 pick in the NFL Draft. Barron won the 2025 Thorpe Award Winner for the best defensive back in the country after snagging five interceptions and not allowing a touchdown all season. He added 67 tackles, 11 pass deflections, and one sack, showing off versatility that should make him successful at the NFL level. Barron will join Patrick Surtain II to give the Broncos one of the best defensive backfields in the league. Some Broncos fans may be disappointed that the team didn't go with an offensive playmaker, but they added a player who should be a very valuable contributor right away on defense.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon with the No. 21 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. Harmon spent his first three collegiate seasons at Michigan State, but did his best work in his senior season with the Ducks. The 6-foot-4 defensive lineman racked up 45 tackles (27 solo) with five sacks, 11 tackles-for-loss, four pass break-ups, and two fumbles forced and recovered. He'll slot into a formidable Steelers defensive front alongside veterans Cameron Heyward, T.J. Watt, and Alex Highsmith, who were surprisingly middling in the sack department last season (40). The disruptive Harmon should fit nicely in that group with his upfield style, locking down the middle of Pittsburgh's defensive line while Highsmith and Watt wreak havoc off the edge.

Dynasty | The Carolina Panthers drafted Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with the 8th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Panthers needed help everywhere and the selection of McMillan should give an improving Bryce Young a solid target to build around. With Xavier Legette and McMillan now in the fold, the young Panthers look like a team that's at least closer to competing. McMillan may not be in the same class as Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., or Marvin Harrison from last year, but he's clearly worthy of a top ten pick and should be the top receiver off the board in most dynasty rookie drafts coming up.

The Miami Dolphins opted for defense in the first round by taking Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant at No. 13 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Some NFL talent evaluators thought Grant was as good if not better than Mason Graham, who went fifth overall to Cleveland, and in the end, the pair went only eight picks apart. Grant was a devastating run defender who helped Michigan to the 2023 national title, and now figures to fill a void in Miami left behind by the departure of Christian Wilkins in 2024. The Michigan Man was projected much later in some mock drafts, so Miami will be betting big on its evaluation here.

Dynasty | The Indianapolis Colts drafted Penn State tight end Tyler Warren with the 14th overall pick. Dynasty Analysis: Widely expected to be the top tight end taken in the 2025 NFL Draft, Warren fell to #14 where the TE-needy Colts had to be thrilled. He'll slot in as the immediate starter and provide Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones) a legitimate target on each and every down. Warren will battle Colston Loveland to be the top rookie tight end, but with this landing spot, it's going to be hard to pass on Warren if you're a dynasty team in need of a player with an elite-level ceiling. He still looks like a top ten rookie pick despite the surprising draft day mini-tumble.

Dynasty | The Indianapolis Colts drafted Penn State tight end Tyler Warren with the 14th overall pick. Dynasty Analysis: Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones) find themselves with a new offensive weapon; a tight end who can run laps around recent Colts' TE rooms. If Richardson can hold onto the ball, he will find himself with a new teammate who can help with a lot of the "easy-button" plays near the line of scrimmage. If anyone was still holding onto Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Jelani Woods, etc., it's a good time to drop them.

After turning the NFL Draft upside down in 2024, there was no such drama from the Atlanta Falcons in 2025 as they took Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker at No. 15 overall. The first linebacker off the board, the former Bulldog likely ended up this high in the draft due to hybrid potential within a defense. At 6-foot-1 and 243 pounds, he's fast enough to be an edge rusher, but cerebral enough to snuff out running plays as an inside linebacker. Atlanta was largely expected to fortify its defense in the first round, and did just that with Walker. The rest of the Falcons' draft could be tougher to predict with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. cemented as the clear starter, but Kirk Cousins still on the roster as an obvious trade candidate.

Dynasty | The Tennessee Titans drafted Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the top overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: As expected, Ward was taken first overall by the Tennessee Titans. While not the elite-level prospect we've seen taken first overall like Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, Ward has done nothing but impress during the pre-draft process to the point the Titans just stopped fielding trade calls. He'll "compete" with Will Levis early on, but that's a competition he'll likely win quickly if the Titans even keep Levis through the weekend. Tennessee added Tyler Lockett and have Calvin Ridley in the fold, but Ward will need a lot more help to be successful in the long run. Regardless, he's in line to be a high-end QB2 or low-end QB1 early in his career with runway to be even better. He's seasoned, poised and talented and that seems like a good mix.
