Below is my 2025 Too Early Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft. However, it’s never really too early, is it? Now that we’ve seen a few games from each of these players, we can start to get an idea of how they’ll be used this year and who stands out.
At the positional level, the QB class has some pretty volatile prospects. Each player has the potential to be a franchise QB or a dud. This running back class is shaping up to be a monster class. One player doesn’t yet stand out as the top back, but the depth of potential high contribution players is there. The WR class is nothing too note-worthy yet since we had such an elite class last year, however, there are a few high-quality players.
We’ll keep these rankings updated monthly throughout the season. Obviously, we’ll see some players rise and others fall throughout the season. However, this list should give you a few names to keep an eye on as we move forward through the season and inch closer to the NFL draft. Nevertheless, I now present my 2025 Too Early Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft.
1.01 – Tetairoa McMillan – WR – Arizona – Jr.
Tet McMillan is a big-bodied receiver who put up great numbers in his sophomore season and is off to another hot start in his junior year through three games. He has better movement than his size would suggest and can command a large target radius. McMillan is elite after the catch and appears to be the complete package at the wide receiver position.
2023 Stats: 90 receptions, 1,402 yards (15.6 avg), 10 TDs
2024 Stats: 23 receptions, 453 yards (19.7), 4 TDs (through 3 games)
1.02 – Luther Burden III – WR – Missouri – Jr.
Burden III has been on my radar for a few years now and his tape doesn’t disappoint. After a big sophomore season he’s gotten off to a slow start in his this season, but I expect him to pick it up in the coming weeks. Like McMillan, Burden can make plays after the catch and could easily move up to the 1.01.
2023 Stats: 86 receptions, 1,212 yards (14.1 avg), 9 TDs
2024 Stats: 13 receptions, 181 yards (13.9 avg), 2 TD; 2 carries, 21 yards (10.5 avg), 1 TD (through 3 games)
1.03 – Carson Beck – QB – Georgia – R-Sr.
Carson Beck leads this QB class for me as of now but the next guy is not too far behind. Beck is in his fifth season of college football and has really only gotten experience beginning with last year. Georgia’s offense doesn’t require him to do too much but I like that he keeps it efficient and still can put up numbers. He is certainly a Heisman candidate and is in for a big year.
2023 Stats: 3,941 yards, 72% completion, 24 TDs, 6 INTs
2024 Stats: 680 yards, 68% completion, 7 TDs, 0 INTs (through 3 games)
1.04 – Quinn Ewers – QB – Texas – Jr.
I think I’m a little higher on Quinn Ewers than most people. I heard of Quinn Ewers when he was coming out of high school and was committed to Ohio State. The dude was supposed to be the next big thing, but being behind C.J. Stroud on the depth chart makes sense by what we’re seeing from Stroud in the NFL now.
But, this brings me to my main point about Quinn Ewers. People think Ewers is older because they’ve heard about him for 4-5 years. He’ll be 22 at the time of the draft and has a ton of experience playing high-level, meaningful football. Another Heisman candidate and searching for a National Championship, I’m high on Ewers. Hopefully the injury he sustained this week is not season-altering and he still has opportunities to raise his stock. His arm talent is off the charts.
2023 Stats: 3,479 yards, 69% completion, 22 TDs, 6 INTs
2024 Stats: 691 yards, 73% completion, 8 TDs, 2 INT (through 3 games, *injured and will miss a few weeks)
1.05 – Shedeur Sanders – QB – Colorado – Sr.
Shedeur has a lot of hype. His upside is certainly there with his athletic ability and strong arm. But, he’s never really proved to be an actual elite quarterback. After a hot start in 2023 winning his first three games, I thought this Colorado team was going to steamroll everyone, plus, they were fun to watch with all the hype. Then came Oregon, USC, UCLA, Oregon State, Arizona, and Utah. It just seemed that every time they played had a big game against a good team, Sanders couldn’t pull out a win. I know it’s not all on him, his offensive line isn’t the best, the defense isn’t all that, but I want my QB to take over these types of games and make things happen, especially if he’s supposed to be a top pick.
He had a good 2023 season and has some rushing ability, but the way the NCAA counts sacks into rushing yards makes it difficult to assess, as he had negative rushing yards. Regardless, a 4-8 season is tough to get behind. And then, this year, his performance against Nebraska was another tough one. Like I said, the talent is there, but let’s see it a bit more in big games.
2023 Stats: 3,230 yards, 69% completion, 27 TDs, 3 INTs
2024 Stats: 999 yards, 70% completion, 9 TDs, 2 INTs (through 3 games)
1.06 – Ollie Gordon II – RB – Oklahoma State – Jr.
A monster 2023 season from Ollie Gordon II shot him up rankings and let people know who he is. He’s young (21 at draft day) and he’s a beast. Although he is off to a slow start this year, he is still finding the endzone, which is encouraging. Gordon is certainly a candidate to be one of the top RBs in this class and can be a three-down workhorse in the league.
2023 Stats: 285 carries, 1,732 yards (6.1 avg), 21 TDs; 39 receptions, 330 yards, 1 TD
2024 Stats: 62 carries, 216 yards (3.5 avg), 4 TDs; 6 receptions, 44 yards, 0 TD (through 3 games)
1.07 – TreVeyon Henderson – RB – Ohio State – Sr.
Henderson is an interesting prospect as many people thought he was going to enter the 2024 draft, but he chose to stay at Ohio State another year. I am curious to see how he plays while sharing the backfield with the next prospect on my board. Henderson had a strong freshman year, dropped off a bit in 2022 and then had a decent 2023 season. The big key is to see who emerges as the lead back in this Buckeye offense.
2023 Stats: 156 carries, 926 yards (5.9 avg), 11 TDs; 19 receptions, 229 yards, 0 TDs
2024 Stats: 18 carries, 131 yards, (7.3 avg), 2 TDs ; 2 receptions, 18 yards, 0 TDs (through 2 games)
1.08 – Quinshon Judkins – RB – Ohio State – Jr.
Judkins, a transfer this year from Ole Miss, has had a great college career so far. Again, it’ll be interesting to see how Ohio State manages the backfield this year. It does appear so far that Judkins and Henderson are splitting the carries evenly, so we’ll continue to monitor their situation and see who can raise their stock the most throughout the season. Like Henderson and Gordon, he projects to be a three-down back in the NFL with both his rushing and receiving abilities.
2023 Stats: 271 carries, 1,158 yards (4.3 avg), 15 TDs; 22 receptions, 149 yards, 2 TDs
2024 Stats: 22 carries, 163 yards (7.4 avg), 3 TDs (through 2 games)
1.09 – Ashton Jeanty – RB – Boise State – Jr.
Jeanty is a beast and he’s so fun to watch. I could see his stock rising this year significantly and being the top back in this class. He is currently leading the FBS in rushing yards and I could see him running away with this as the season goes on. He also provides a ton of receiving opportunities as well, which is highly coveted in the NFL. His monster game against Oregon proved that he can perform against top defenses outside of the Mountain West.
2023 Stats: 220 carries, 1,347 yards (6.1 avg), 14 TDs; 43 receptions, 569 yards, and 5 TDs
2024 Stats: 45 carries, 459 yards (10.2 avg), 9 TDs; 5 receptions, 12 yards, 0 TDs (through 2 games)
1.10 – Emeka Egbuka – WR – Ohio State – Sr.
Egbuka is another Buckeye that many people expected to enter the 2024 draft but chose to go back for another year. He had a down and injury-riddled junior season after having a solid sophomore season, which makes sense as to why he may have gone back for another season to try and boost his stock even more. He’s put together a strong start to the 2024 season and appears to be the WR1 or WR2 alongside freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith.
2023 Stats: 41 receptions, 515 yards (12.6 avg), 4 TDs
2024 Stats: 9 receptions, 149 yards (16.6 avg), 0 TDs (through 2 games)
1.11 – Evan Stewart – WR – Oregon – Jr.
Stewart, a transfer from Texas A&M, has yet to officially breakout. The former five-star recruit has not eclipsed 700 yards in a season, but he’s on pace for over 1,000 at Oregon. Keep an eye on him to have a solid year in this high volume Oregon Duck passing offense. But I am stillhesitant at the moment to have him this highly ranked. I may even prefer his teammate, who we will discuss later, a little more.
2023 Stats: 38 receptions, 514 yards (13.5 avg), 4 TDs
2024 Stats: 11 receptions, 153 yards (13.9 avg), 1 TD (through 3 games)
1.12 – Devin Neal – RB – Kansas – Sr.
Neal, entering his senior season, has had a solid career with Kansas. He has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards both in his sophomore and junior seasons and is on pace to do so again this year. He has also totaled 33 TDs up until this year. He also has some solid receiving ability as well. He appears to be a solid, reliable back that an NFL team would love to select.
2023 Stats: 203 carries, 1280 yards (6.3 avg), 16 TDs; 25 receptions, 217 yards, 1 TD
2024 Stats: 45 carries, 333 yards (7.4 avg), 2 TDs; 1 rec, 33 yards (through 3 games)
Honorable Mention: Omarion Hampton – RB – UNC – Jr.
Hampton broke out last season for the Tarheels and is the main focus of the UNC offense. He is prime for a solid season and for his stock to rise. The depth of this running back class is absurd.
2023 Stats: 253 carries, 1,504 yards (5.9 avg), 15 TDs; 29 receptions, 222 yards, 1 TD
2024 Stats: 66 carries, 416 yards (6.3 avg), 3 TDs; 6 receptions, 23 yards, 0 TDs (through 3 games)
Honorable Mention: Jalen Milroe – QB – Alabama – R.Jr.
Milroe doesn’t have a ton of stats, but he is dynamic, athletic, and a play-maker. I compare him to Anthony Richardson based on his first few seasons in college. It will be interesting to see if he can take the extra leap this year and boost his draft stock a little more. I could see a team taking a shot at him, similarly like the Colts did with Richardson, in an attempt to teach him to play the quarterback position at a high level, being that he already has the intangibles.
2023 Stats: 2,834 yards, 66% completion, 23 TDs, 6 INTs
2024 Stats: 590 yards, 67% completion, 8 TDs, 0 INTs (through 2 games)
Honorable Mention: Cam Ward – QB – Miami (FL) – R.Sr.
Ward’s skills come with ease and his playstyle is so calm and laid back he looks like he’s processing faster than everyone else. I think people will hop on the hype train for Ward pretty soon, if they aren’t already. Regardless, I’m very high on him and his stock is rising.
2023 Stats: 3,736 yards, 67% completion, 25 TDs, 7 INTs
2024 Stats: 1,035 yards, 73% completion, 11 TDs, 1 INT (through 3 games)
Honorable Mention: Tez Johnson – WR – Oregon – Sr.
I mentioned a teammate of Evan Stewart’s above, and this is him, Tez Johnson. Tez is so fun to watch and he has blazing speed. Starting his career at Troy, his biggest season was in his junior year when he transferred to Oregon. Teaming up with Stewart this year may hurt his numbers a bit as he will have to share some of the targets, but he had to do that last year anyway with Troy Franklin and he still got his. Be on the lookout for Tez Johnson to shoot up draft boards this year in such a heavy passing offense.
2023 Stats: 86 receptions, 1,182 yards (13.7 avg), 10 TDs
2024 Stats: 22 receptions, 190 yards (8.6 avg), 2 TDs (through 3 games)
Conclusion
What are your thoughts on my rankings so far? Is there anyone I missed? Is there anyone that I’m too high on and shouldn’t be listed here? We’ll keep updating these rankings throughout the college football season and track some risers and fallers. So, stay tuned!
