Fumbleweed 496 Posted January 6 This is something I like to post on site in early January and then update it every few weeks for a couple of months. The first edition assumes minimal team changes for the following players (which isn't realistic) and does not include potential rookies. This is just a glimpse of what a redraft (non-PPR) might look like for 2025 based upon what is known today. It is meant to generate some discussion, so feel free to disagree and/or offer up alternative choices. QBs are also valued a little higher by me based on some of the scoring systems I play being QB-friendly. Round One: 1. Saquon Barkley 2. Jahmyr Gibbs 3. Bijan Robinson 4. Ja'Marr Chase 5. Derrick Henry 6. Kyren Williams 7. Jonathan Taylor 8. Justin Jefferson 9. Josh Jacobs 10. Amon-Ra St. Brown 11. CeeDee Lamb 12. Lamar Jackson Round Two: 13. De'Von Achane 14. Josh Allen 15. Joe Mixon 16. Puka Nacua 17. James Cook 18. Brian Thomas, Jr. 19. Malik Nabers 20. Bucky Irving 21. Breece Hall 22. Joe Burrow 23. A.J. Brown 24. Brock Bowers Round Three: 25. Drake London 26. Christian McCaffrey 27. Nico Collins 28. Terry McLaurin 29. Mike Evans 30. James Conner 31. George Kittle 32. Chase Brown 33. Jalen Hurts 34. Jayden Daniels 35. Chuba Hubbard 36. Tyreek Hill Round Four: 37. Trey McBride 38. Alvin Kamara 39. Tee Higgins 40. David Montgomery 41. Baker Mayfield 42. Garrett Wilson 43. Jared Goff 44. Jameson Williams 45. Marvin Harrison, Jr. 46. Aaron Jones 47. Courtland Sutton 48. Jaxon Smith-Njigba Honorable mention: Ladd McConkey, Davante Adams, Mark Andrews Thoughts?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,637 Posted January 6 I would drop Kyren and Mixon a little bit. I think Ladd should be on this list somewhere, he was #12 WR in the league I won this year, pretty focking good for a room. Probably move Puka and Bucky up a little. Not sure I'd have that many QBs in the top 48. Good starting point though, when's the draft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Showboat 250 Posted January 6 Unless you are baking in another Monty injury, he is too low. He is a probably a late 1st/early 2nd rounder (and a Gibbs ACL away from being a top 5 back). Not sure Barkley should be number one overall - mostly because it is really tough to put together back-to-back great rushing years (and he is no spring chicken). Not sure who is better to go #1, but at this point I'd rather have a shot at Taylor or Kyren later in the first round than having to pick #1. I could see Chase Brown as a second rounder - there were doubters this preseason but he did all right and his arrow seems to be pointing upward (the primary risk limiting upside being Burrow's habit of throwing 2-yard TD passes).

Kyren Williams 8. Puka Nacua 9. AJ Brown 10. Jahmyr Gibbs 11. Bijan Robinson 12. Malik Nabers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JagFan 137 Posted January 7 I think this is a really good starting point. Nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximum Overkill 1,587 Posted January 7 Good list but way too many RBs at the top. There should not a be a QB in the 1st round of any draft other than Superflex. Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas JR need to be higher up. Nico needs to be much higher as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I would suggest that there are a few QBs that are worth high picks. Those that had Lamar, Burrow, and/or Allen this year won a lot of leagues because of it. Yes, those that got Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, and/or Jayden Daniels did, too, and didn't have to pay a high price for those guys, but it can be hard to predict who will become elite from year to year. With Lamar and Josh Allen, you know what you're getting as you also do with Burrow assuming he stays healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
