Now that the eventful 2025 NFL draft is over, fantasy football draft season can officially begin. Our ESPN Fantasy Football analysts and contributors convened to make their picks, and it's always interesting to see where this year's rookie class fits in, as well as how the positional balance plays out in the early rounds. Your League, Your Rules Create a league and customize league size, scoring and rules to play in the league you want to play in.
Create a league today! This first mock draft of 2025 featured the following participants (in order of first-round selection): Eric Moody, Mike Clay, Stephania Bell, Jim McCormick, Daniel Dopp, Field Yates, Liz Loza, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Eric Karabell and Matt Bowen. It is a standard, 10-team league with PPR scoring.
It's no surprise Ashton Jeanty was the first rookie off the board, but did you expect him to land in the top five? Lamar Jackson was the clear leader in fantasy points last season, but he wasn't the first quarterback taken (or the second). As always, there is a ton of quality at the top of the wide receiver position, but it was interesting to see how tight end was valued early on, as Brock Bowers and Trey McBride were top-25 picks.
